Add a dedicated “Milled Asphalt Road” hazard report.
This refers specifically to a road where the upper layer of asphalt has been removed in preparation for resurfacing.
Waze currently has no dedicated report for this condition. “Construction” is not accurate enough, since the milled surface may remain exposed even when no roadwork is actively taking place.
A milled asphalt surface can significantly affect grip, steering and stability, especially for motorcycles and vehicles traveling at high speeds. Drivers and riders should receive a clear warning to slow down and proceed with caution.

Group drive function
It would be great to have the ability to add users to your group, then when driving anywhere you add them to your route. When the lead driver makes changes it updates for all in the group. Potentially others in the group track the lead driver, or the destination that is controlled by the lead driver.

Add an option to always choose the fastest route
Hello,
Waze frequently suggests routes that are not the fastest, even when time-saving alternatives exist.
French Decree No. 2022-1119 of August 3, 2022, which imposed specific rules on navigation assistance services, was annulled by the Council of State on September 27, 2023.
Why does Waze continue to apply criteria that can lead to the exclusion of the truly fastest route?
Please add a clear option—"Always prioritize the fastest route"—that allows the user to select travel time as the sole criterion.
Users should be able to decide for themselves which criterion they wish to prioritize.2 votes -

BYD
Implement navigation directions on BYD cars heads-up display (HUD) unit for models that have them (e.g. Sealion 7).Google Maps already have this, but Waze is better for navigation.

Large Vehicle type
As a wheelchair user I have an XL Base Citroen Van. Currently Waze will suggest routes unsuitable to save time on en-route. Recently I got stuck in the snow following a route change that I trusted but took me on back residential roads. There is an allowance for motorcycle, taxi or private car. Selecting “large vehicle” would exclude low bridges and keep on main roads regardless of time saved. It is a matter of safety.

Time thresholds for reroute
i wish there was a time threshold. like a drop down menu that says “only reroute me if there is 15 minutes or more of time savings”

Automatic vehicle type based on connected vehicle
Waze could automatically switch the vehicle type based on the Androide Auto / CarPlay system it connects to.
If I connect to my car, Waze uses Car mode. If I connect to my motorcycle, it automatically switches to Motorcycle mode.
This would make traffic data more accurate and remove the need to manually change the vehicle type every time.

Automatic rerouting requires one to break the law in many places to cancel it and should be optional
The app automatically rerouting to a different shorter route is incredibly annoying and dangerous. It defaults to choosing the new route if you don't touch the button to reject the new route. Considering the fact that operating a phone while driving is ILLEGAL in many places, including my home province, it is ridiculous that this feature cannot be disabled. This is the one thing that prevents me and many other people from using Waze more regularly. There are a lot of safety related reasons why one would choose a longer route (weather, road conditions, etc.) and yet Waze doesn't care and will always reroute to a route that you specifically chose not to take.

### Feature Request: Personalized Cost per Minute for Route Selection I would like to suggest a feature that would make Waze's route select
Feature Request: Personalized Cost per Minute for Route Selection
I would like to suggest a feature that would make Waze's route selection much more useful.
Currently, Waze will normally recommend the faster route, even when the time difference is very small and the faster route includes a significant toll.
For example:
- Route A: 42 minutes, no toll
- Route B: 40 minutes, $6 toll
Waze will normally choose Route B because it is faster, even though I am paying $6 just to save 2 minutes.
I don't want to completely disable toll roads, because sometimes paying a toll is absolutely worth it when the time savings are significant.
My suggestion
Add a setting that allows the user to define how much they are willing to pay for each minute saved.
For example:
"I am willing to pay up to $0.50 for each minute saved."
Waze could then use this preference when deciding which route to recommend.
For example:
- Toll: $6
- Time saved: 2 minutes
- Cost per minute saved: $3/minute
Since my limit is $0.50/minute, Waze would recommend the free route.
But if the same $6 toll saves me 20 minutes:
- $6 ÷ 20 minutes = $0.30/minute
Waze would recommend the toll road.
Include fuel costs as well
The calculation could also take fuel consumption and fuel costs into account.
Waze could compare the total additional cost of a route:
Toll + additional fuel cost
against:
Time saved × user's value per minute
This would allow Waze to choose the route that provides the best overall value.
For example:
- Route A: 45 minutes, $0 toll, $3 fuel
- Route B: 35 minutes, $6 toll, $2 fuel
Route B costs an additional $5 but saves 10 minutes.
If the user has set their maximum value at $0.50 per minute, 10 minutes are worth $5, so Waze would know that the faster route is right at the user's limit.
Suggested setting
Maximum amount I am willing to pay per minute saved:
- $0 – Never pay for time savings
- $0.25/minute
- $0.50/minute
- $1/minute
- $2/minute
- Custom amount
This would be much more flexible than simply choosing "Avoid toll roads."
It would allow Waze to understand that I am willing to pay for saving time, but only when the time savings justify the additional cost.
This would prevent situations where I pay several dollars simply to save 2 or 3 minutes, while still allowing me to use toll roads when they provide substantial time savings.

Scooter
Objet : URGENT — Demande d'ajout d'itinéraires adaptés : Scooter 50 cc, Trottinette électrique et EDPM
Bonjour aux équipes de développement,
Je vous contacte pour signaler un manque critique dans les profils de navigation actuels, qui génère d'importants risques de sécurité et de nombreuses infractions pour les utilisateurs de deux-roues et de mobilités douces motorisées.
Aujourd'hui, les profils disponibles ne correspondent plus à la réalité du Code de la route :
-
Pour les Scooters / Cyclomoteurs 50 cc :
- Le mode Voiture envoie sur le périphérique, les voies rapides et les autoroutes (interdit et extrêmement dangereux en 50 cc).
- Le mode Vélo (utilisé par défaut par beaucoup pour éviter les voies rapides) guide le scooter sur des pistes cyclables, des voies vertes ou des voies piétonnes. C'est illégal, dangereux pour les cyclistes et passible de 135 € d'amende.
-
Pour les Trottinettes électriques (EDPM) :
- Le mode Vélo classique envoie parfois sur des départementales à 80 km/h ou des axes interurbains hors agglomération sans piste cyclable, où la circulation des trottinettes est strictly interdite par la loi.
- Le mode Piéton fait emprunter des trottoirs, des zones piétonnes ou des escaliers, ce qui est strictement interdit aux trottinettes électriques sous peine d'amende.
La solution urgente à intégrer :
Mettre à jour vos algorithmes pour créer deux profils de navigation distincts :
- Profil « Scooter / 50 cc » : Voies urbaines uniquement, en excluant les axes à plus de 70 km/h / voies rapides / autoroutes ET en excluant les pistes cyclables / voies vertes.
- Profil « Trottinette électrique / EDPM (25 km/h) » : Itinéraires urbains sécurisés privilégiant les pistes cyclables et rues à 30/50 km/h, en excluant totalement les trottoirs, les voies rapides et les axes interurbains non aménagés.Merci de transmettre cette demande à vos équipes produit et ingénieurs pour mettre enfin vos cartes à jour avec la législation actuelle.
Cordialement.

Rerouting
Rerouting. STOP IT. We pick a route for a reason. Maybe someone is afraid of bridges or tunnels. Maybe there is a fear of heights. Or maybe we know that we want to avoid a bad area of town. We cannot choose a route to do those things with assurance that it will not change. I'm aware that there are good reasons to reroute. But we need an option to automatically accept or deny a route change. It is not safe to stare at a Waze screen waiting for a popup to select NO for a reroute. I do not understand why this has not been solved yet. If we want to look for a new route we always have the option. We do not need your help on some trips. PLEASE. Let me set my default choice for rerouting. A warning is fine but if do not do anything I don't want Waze to do it either!

Avoid School Zones
"Avoid active School Zones" like the avoid toll roads & ferry option. Due to decreased speed regulations “when children are present”, avoiding school zones could help drivers make better decisions on route choices, seeing as schools start/stop dates vary depending upon your area.

Alert sound indicating upcoming route change while on the phone
I drive long distances and one of the main issues I have is that when I'm on the phone, there is no alert sound to indicate an upcoming route change. Apple maps will ding to force you to look down and realize you have an upcoming route change. It's easy to get distracted on the phone and not be paying close attention to your next change when Waze is silent.
