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.

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"

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?

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 -

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!

Show international borders on route
It would be very helpful to show international borders. For some reason these are not visible once the route is chosen. Due to uncertain wait times at some borders, which Waze isn't very good at calculating, it would be helpful to at least display them and let drivers make choices based on other information (there are other apps that monitor these wait times, such as Border Watch). Also, had I not already known that Waze was sending me through Albania, I would have been unable to avoid additional charges, hassles, and delays (Albania requires extra documentation from European drivers that…

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…

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.

Push notifications for events on route
for next version I would love push notifications from the locked screen when events occur on your chosen route, or if a re-route is necessary.

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.

"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;…

report route change due to traffic
It happens a lot that the route is taking me to a heavy traffic road. I turn to avoid it, but can't report it. It would be great to have a pop-up when avoiding the suggested route to ask if it's due to traffic

Show potential variance in route time
It seems that Waze picks the best route at the time navigation starts.
With all the timing and route information that Waze and Google collects, it should be easy to calculate a good variance for the time of day.
It might be nice if Waze could display a midspread or "middle 50%" time, i.e. the time estimate for 50% of all drivers on that route at that time of day.
So maybe below the estimated arrival of "9:02", it would show "(9:00 - 9:15)"
It'd be even better if it took this into consideration when routing, like preferring a "9:03…

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.

Please allow to view route both prior to drive and during the drive. Helpful to see which routes are available before selecting. Thank you!

Update of alerts/incidents on the route based on the progress of the route.
Update of alerts/incidents on the route based on the progress of the route. Currently, when you access the route view with the button on the right (up arrow), a start/end line with the incidents is displayed. But these incidents always appear from the start and not from the current point of the route. I think they should be updated, since alerts that have already happened can appear and confuse the driver.
