"Narrowed lanes" Danger
Hi,
I do more than 110km a day,
Very often, you'll encounter some situation where one lane is temporarily removed. Typically in Waze, Users would declare "Roadworks", but I think it's too general to really anticipate this specific situation.
I think it would be very interesting, both in terms of safety and information, to have the possibility to declare a "Narrowed lanes" danger, particulary because sometimes it is really abruptly becoming narrowed and the sole declaration "Roadworks" is not sufficient enough as it is very often used for works being done on the side of the road. It would…5 votes -
Allow users to edit Toll road times (general)
In Stockholm roads have toll during week days and then business hours (diff. price throughout the day). Week ends are free as well as evenings. Also bank holidays are free and days before certain bank holidays.
With the general setting today Waze will avoid toll roads (if set to avoid) on times when no toll exist.Either move toll setting to destination setting page or improve map edit to include whereabouts of the toll camera/device and time schedule incl. price.

Avoid Dangerous Areas
Please add a new option under Navigation settings or Maps views called Avoid Dangerous Areas.
This option should allow the map's builders to mark this areas that could be dangerous for the drivers. Sometimes the best road is not the faster if not the more safely....
Then if the option is active avoid this areas.

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…

Never change my NON-TOLL route to a TOLL ROUTE without my explicit permission
We are on an extended road trip. We EXPLICITLY told Waze to avoid TOLLS. As you are driving along, Waze will pop up and suggest going the toll route because it will be faster, albeit, more expensive. If you don't happen to see the pop up and don't select "No Thanks", Waze WILL SWITCH IT AUTOMATICALLY to the TOLL ROUTE. If there's another setting to stop that, I haven't discovered it yet. You SHOULD NEVER EVER change my route just because it's faster without my explicit permission to do so.

Indicate open lanes at a crash
When ppl indicate a crash let them indicate which lanes are kept open, it will let drivers safely move to the correct lane farther back, alleviating lanes changes close to the crash (in thicker traffic). It will also give more incentive for ppl to use Waze.

Variable Toll Rates
Set up one type of feed input so that toll roads can update the variable toll rates in real time.
Understand that worldwide there are many methods companies use for toll rates that change. But Wase should have at least one feed type that can update the variable toll feed so that users can see in real time if it is say $2.00 to use the road or $40.00.

"This route avoids tolls" when avoid-tolls option is on.
Suggestion: A note that "This route avoids tolls" when avoid-tolls option is on.
We (and others too) had that we were taking a much longer route (more than 40 minutes extra!) because we didn't realize that avoid-tolls is on...
Thanks so much!

Add "No lanes closed" response to "Waze Asks" card for roadworks alerts
A recent unannounced change has added a "What do you see?" card when approaching a roadworks alert. The only response options are to report lane closures or to indicate that the roadworks are no longer there. There is no intuitive option to dismiss the question or respond that construction is still taking place but no lanes are closed.
The majority of roadworks take place without any lane closures, yet the app assumes that closures will occur.
Without an intuitive way to respond differently to a lane closure, many users seem to be selecting one of the closure options to dismiss…29 votes -

avoid a specified road would be a great feature.
It would be great if I could avoid a particular road I hate driving on the way home. Its not a toll or a dirt road, and I dont want to change my preferences just to avoid the same road , but I hate it. Its unlit, fast, narrow and has a really annoying junction and a big width restriction. I just want to tell Waze to never route that way. Id rather take 5 more minutes getting home .

toll tag intelligence
It would be huge if client could know if I have a toll tag and where toll tag only roads exist. Routing me over a toll tag only road (must have a toll tag to traverse) is not helpful. It would be great if Waze stored which toll tags I have and ask if it should route me over a toll tag only road when I'm in another area.
