Save the last itinerary made as one of the proposed alternatives
I am forced to take a longer road to go to work, in order to avoid a rail crossing. This itinerary is not included among the proposed ones, and I would like to be able to save it.

Pot holes
Hello Waze can you add a pot hole alert, I drive early hours in the morning and late at night and cant see the pot holes in the road in time to avoid them, it would be great if you can warn traffic of pot hole so they can slow down to avoid them, there have been several accidents on our roads due to pot holes
When the pot hole is identified it should warn traffic going both direction approximately 50M before the pot hole
This addition to the app will be the same as reporting stationary traffic on the…2 votes -
Need option to minimize tolls. Current settings are all or nothing.
Make an option to select some tolls. Currently waze offers all or nothing. For example, my commute either takes me up the turnpike for $13 or no tolls in a round about manner. I want to see an option with the garden state parkway only tolls which are significantly less money.

Will Waze include State and US Highway avoidance some day? When I want to go somewhere on the bike I want to take all back roads.

New Functions for Linking External Provider Locations (Google Pin)
In the past, the WME PIE Script provided a valuable feature that allowed us to directly view the exact location of a place on Google Maps overlaid on the Waze map. Recently, this functionality was removed at Waze's request.
Most editors, including myself, consider this feature essential. Taking this opportunity, I suggest we request improvements to this linking tool. Below are some current issues and proposed solutions:
Issue 1:
Currently, WME allows the same CID to be added multiple times to the same place. This creates disorganization in the links.Solution 1:
Block duplicate additions of the same place. In…133 votes -
Allow Traffic Events to include lane closures
When creating Major Traffic Events such as construction, sporting events, or races, we can close roads as part of the closure. The introduction of polygons showing impacted areas is fantastic, but it'd also be helpful if we could pre-populate lane closures. For example, often a single lane might be closed for runners and being able to include that in the MTE would be beneficial.

Map a Route “With OUT Pot Holes”
Route selection should display red dots on it representing pot holes so the driver can choose which route to take ! And in the settings we should have the choice to avoid roads with pot holes reported!

enable Navigation while AVOIDING "RED ROADS"(roads defined as such by authorities/NGO's). Red Road = higher probability for an accident.
Nation wide, the safety level of road infrastructure reflects budget constarints, professional considerations-mistakes etc.
Government as well as NGO's e.g. Or Yarok(Israel) monitor accident rates(as well as severty) per LOCATION.....
Thus it is possible to rate certain roads/junctions as RED - being more dangerous, based on hard statistics.
Most of the drivers are NOT aware of above(i.e. that they can drive to their destination with significantly lower accident risk) and would probably be happy not to RISK their families and hence chose an alternative, safer road.
Regardless of the fact that it would require longer driving.Such measure would lead…

Risk classification system by areas
Risk classification system by areas:
Some countries like mine (Peru) have several areas which are either dangerous or ugly to go through. Since Waze algorithm is set to always find the best route regarding the traffic and shortest ways to minimze the time, sometimes it includes these kind of undesireble zones and and it can be really annoying or even scary.
Therefore, I suggest to implement a security location system based on the split and categorization of how safe or risky is each area.
At first, it's going to be necessary to make an initial investigation about the safety of…

Note detours / closure when reason for future turn
If an upcoming turn (even if miles away) is due to a road closure/ detour, create an alert. This can allow finding alternative route earlier and avoid significant backups on highways by taking earlier exits

Add lane guides for joining highways
When joining a highway it would be useful to know whether it's lane merge or addition, i.e. whether giving way is needed or not

Readd the autozoom disable funtion
The autozoom disable function was removed in the last update. I am very disappointed with this. I never used autozoom and I am not a fan. I like to stay zoomed out so now I am fighting with the app every few minutes. Please return this function. I am not the type to makes threats to stop using something but I researching other navigation apps to avoid doing this. Or at least let me set the zoom function (how far to zoom in and out and at what speeds). I could set it all consistently if I don't want it…
3 votesGreat news! The option to disable the auto zoom is now available in Waze. Install the latest app version to check it out.

Stop Waze auto starting
Stop Waze from auto starting as soon as I get in my car that has wireless Apple Car Play and for that fact even if I plug in it should not auto start. I don’t always want Waze on and it is annoying in the background beeping and alerting even without a direction. This should be an option to auto start not forced. This is an unwanted feature and like and invasion on privacy and personal choice.
I’ve tried Twitter to talk with Waze to no end, said I had to use this forum. I am forced to delete the…5 votes -
Waze traffic alarm
Every time I leave my office or my house, I need to review on waze my alternative routes, the problem is, that most of the times .. im on a hurry and i forget to review the routes, and even though waze has all the information needed to select the best route alternative, I dont have the time to review it and choose the best route with all the available waze information.
Wouldnt it be great if I could set an alarm for a certain time (mornings, or when I leave the office) and that waze provides me a full…

Do AWAY with cartoonish “rewards”
Do AWAY with the cartoonish rewards! This is a useful app and not a ridiculous game. Going 75mph down the highway and I “verify” a car on the side of the road and as soon as I do I come over a small rise and there’s a car in the left shoulder partially in the fast lane and the ridiculous cartoon rewards are still flashing so I can’t press the notification button to alert other drivers!! It’s either a game or a useful app, stop trying to make it both!!

navigation update
This application needs a closer accurate navigation were you are driving and show more patterns in the lane instead of the purple line covering the whole track when traveling. Last one I want to suggest is make a new option of someone wants to avoid highways and drive only on normal roads.

Support for dimensions and combinations such as caravans
I propose that Waze allows users to save multiple vehicles, each with their own dimensions, including height, width, and length. It should also be possible to add vehicle combinations, such as a car with a caravan or trailer, where the additional dimensions are automatically taken into account during route planning.
Users could then manually select the appropriate vehicle or combination before starting a trip, or Waze could automatically detect the vehicle via CarPlay or Android Auto.
It is essential that Waze takes infrastructure limitations into account—such as bridge heights, narrow roads, sharp turns, and low tunnels—so that any routes that…
