Choose Route in Android Auto
When using Android Auto, allow users to choose from available routes, regardless if Avoid Tolls, Freeways, etc... is selected.
Route choice is available directly in the Waze app, however, when connected, Android Auto locks the Waze app preventing the user from accessing it directly from the phone (love that safety feature)!
Please allow users to choose a route when using the app, including tolls or no tolls.

Junction/Intersection numbers without active route
I drive on the motorway quite a lot and most of the time I know the way so I won't bother with setting a route.
However it would be great if, without a route being plotted, that Waze would display in the top left "Approaching XX junction"

route button
A button in the application that allows you to record the route that waze is suggesting to you in high traffic hours, so that you can later use it as a routine route.

When selecting a route, automatically show us delays!!
When going about choosing a route to my destination, Waze does not show us delays included in the route estimates.
In order to see what the delay would be, you have to click on the route and wait about 10 minutes for the route to update. By then it may be too late to switch to an alternative route.
We should be able to see the estimated driving time before selecting a route!!
Other apps can manage this function, so why can't Waze keep up?

Route away from schools at pickup & dropoff time
We've been noticing an increasing amount of Waze traffic near our local elementary school. It is dangerous for the kids who are biking to school (and not yet as reliable as adults) -- we have had three kids hit by cars in our small city so far this year. And I'm sure it is annoying for drivers -- we've seen a lot of folks swerving around slow cars etc.
I would love to be able to tell Waze the pickup and dropoff windows for our school, and have it automatically route away from the school (and ideally nearby streets).
Maybe…

Type of Route Options Preference settings
I frequently drive a route that gives me the option of taking a toll road or driving on the non-toll route or taking streets - but when I look at the routes available to me, I am not able to compare the time savings of taking the toll road vs the non toll version of the road. I am only able to see toll road, or a street option, or an alternate freeway option. I would really like to be able to see the difference in commute time if I jump in the HOT lane vs not paying toll…

Push notifications for accidents along work route
Since waze knows my work route, it would have been useful this morning to have received push notification while I was at home that there was a major accident on I-69 before I left the house. I wouldn't typically look at my whole route on waze prior to leaving the house - this would be an awesome feature!

Route color change after we past it
As we all know, from route planning to until we get to the target, the track color is the same (purple by default).
The problem is that the section we past and the section we are going to is in the same color.
Since the software can identify the direction of motion, I suggest that every section of the planned route that we passed will return to normal color of the map or will fade to make a Separation from the section which you are traveling to.
If you navigate while watching briefly on the map from time to time,…7 votes -
Add Regular Route
I hope I can explain this well.
I have my regular route to work and back set by waze everyday. By now I have driven the route hundreds of times and know how to get to work. What I would like is to save this regular route (or whatever you want to call it) and not hear direction commands (exit in 4.1 miles, turn left. etc..) unless there needs/has to be a change in my route because of traffic/an accident/construction.
I don't know if this is already a feature or not but it would be super awesome. It kind of…

Display Saved Time when Waze changes the route in case of traffic
The idea would be to be able to accept or deny the route change when Waze decides there is a best route than the current one.
In other words, let us accept or not to switch to the new route depending on haow much tilme is saved. For me saving 1 to 5 minutes on a new route is not always necessary.6 votes -
Get a list of directions for a given route.
Sometimes it's hard to evaluate a route choice from the descriptions. It would be great if a route could be listed in text (one line per step) so that the route options could be evaluated more easily.

route optimiser
I know there are websites that already offer this but would like to see on waze where I can add a series of addresses and waze would suggest the best route with the possibility of adding addresses after.
for example if I want to add hotels or additional breaks3 votes -
Display route with toll and no toll
When navigating to a place, display on the map the route with tolls and the route with no tolls. Having to turn on and off the avoid toll to compare both routes is an extra step that can be eliminated when planning a drive.

route
I've tried to find a pretty easy route. NYC to Stratton mountain Vermont. It keeps telling me that it can't be done at this time. Sounds like an Eight ball.

"We have a shorter way" - Option available "Okay"
I intentionally choose NO TOLLS when I travel. It is less expensive and usually a more scenic route. I have been having trouble that the We have a shorter way pops up and I don't want to choose Okay because I already have the route I want so I ignore thinking that must default to keep as I'm going.
Seems it does it anyway because all of a sudden I'm on toll roads. I think you should have a yes or no option.
I also found out then when you choose a route (perhaps no toll as an example;…

Choose use of higways or not upon entering navigation or right after entering navigation info
Make a popup asking if we want to use the highway or not when we enter navigation info that is easy to find. We dont always need to use the highway and its not easy to find that option if we are in a hurry or just want to take the scenic route to a destination. We should easily turn it on or off, thanks.
