  1. "Always Avoid This Intersection"

    Waze needs an "Always Avoid This Intersection" feature.
    Waze consistently routes me to turn left at a traffic light at an intersection that has 6 lanes of traffic merging into a single lane to get on to a freeway which is also controlled by a traffic light. The congestion there is ALWAYS terrible and easily adds 20 minutes to my commute. Users with local knowledge should be able to specify intersections to avoid at all times. This "avoid list" would be user specific, thereby allowing each user to maintain it (add/delete intersections) as necessary.

  4. Mark overtaking lanes on back roads / B road highways

    On minor highways (in Australia at least) they are often one lane in either direction, with the occasional overtaking lane being two lanes in one direction, one in the other.
    These can be 10km+ apart and aren’t signposted until they are close.
    It would be nice to colour indicate these lanes on the map so the driver/passenger can see if it is worth waiting to overtake a vehicle in the single lane road or wait until the safer overtaking lane

  6. Avoid a specific road

    I've seen a number of posts regarding this, and myself have wanted this on various occasions for a number of different reasons. The alternatives (avoid highway, avoid toll, avoid dirt) are useful in many cases, but there are also many cases where they simply don't serve the actual need.

    For example, this reddit post (https://www.reddit.com/r/waze/comments/6vfd6m/can_i_stop_waze_from_rerouting_or_select_a/) is from a user that wants to specifically avoid the Capital Beltway (I-495). Not because it's a highway, and not because of a perceived inability for Waze to determine traffic, but just as a personal preference. As another example, sometimes when…

  7. CarPlay Toll/Freeway Toggle

    I find many times where I'd like to assess the difference between Toll vs Non-Toll or Freeway vs Non-Freeway routes, but there is no easy and safe way to do this while connected to Carplay. Offering a simple accessible toggle for these functions would be extremely valuable!

  10. discounted or free tolls for qualified Disable Veterans.

    Add a button to treat this routes as toll free, when looking for the fastest toll free route in conjunction with avoid toll routes. Here a list of toll free routes for qualified and register Disable veterans with TxDot.

  12. Change "Avoid Highways" to "Avoid Freeways"

    The current "Avoid Highways" preference in the client is essentially useless because it includes even "Minor Highways" which is poorly defined. The category includes even very small country roads that happen to be designated State highways - hardly in the same category as freeways and therefore not useful as a routing distinction.

    On the other hand, "Avoid Highways" is a very useful option for users who would like to use the Waze route optimization features, but without the stress and other factors that come with Freeway driving.

  14. Bad weather warnings in both lanes

    The weather warning should be on both lanes because it affects both sides. It doesn't snow in only one lane.

  15. Toll limit

    There needs to be an option to be able to specify which toll roads to use on a given route.

    Oftentimes I'm going to a location where I only use portion of the paid highway as the second half of the journey is very expensive and I am able to divert.

    However, Waze always sends me the highway way as the fastest route, despite not being the most efficient or cost saving.

    This could be easily overcome but being able so set a cap price on tolls OR being able to add highway roads to an exception list within…

    When exiting for example it shows which lane to take. But if there is a blocked lane then it doesnt show it in the lanes. It might help with confusion

  17. Navigate toll roads even when pass not entered in settings.

    I live near the Georgia, USA, I-75 Northwest Corridor Express Lanes. When a user enters the Express Lanes without a corresponding pass in settings, Waze acts like the road doesn't exist and keeps offering turns as if they were on the main highway, going the opposite direction, on nearby surface streets, etc. After entry there are very few ways to exit the Express Lanes, and it's unhelpful to have suggestions to turn around or to exit from the main highway when you're in the Express Lanes. Perhaps Waze could recognize that the user is on the road,…

  18. Avoid parkway feature

    Driving a commercial vehicle we are not allowed to go on parkways. A conventional GPS allows you to "avoid part of route" I want to be able to go on all other highways just not parkways. When it gives you a route, you should be able to avoid parkways where all truckers cannot use either

    Great news. Setting to avoid toll roads is already available globally. It is also possible to mark dangerous zones on map editor level, so the app could warn you if your route goes through one of dangerous zones.

  20. toll

    Toll off - we might have been fined because we have swich off the tolls on waze and still it have sent us through the tolled route. But i have not noticed we have the country toll card on - which means it is still sening you down to the toll routes. I believe this could be changed and used in diffeent way- may tis be te alert for other to make sure you are not making the same mistake
