Thanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

The admins have already said they have no interest in doing this as "Waze is for commuters" .... what exactly that's supposed to mean I'm not sure... Residents of a gated community should already know that there are "special" entrances that only they can use, why route thousands of Waze users there when they can't get in?

Thank you for your suggestion!
This suggestion will not be implemented for the time being, since we’re focusing on features which would potentially benefit larger groups of Wazers.
Stay tuned for more features and updates on Waze’s social pages on Facebook and InstagramAn error occurred while saving the comment Ryan Conley

I deliver for DoorDash and this is becoming a **major** problem. "Commuters" should know the area well enough to know they have a dedicated entrance, and after choosing a particular entrance several times overriding the route guidance Waze is supposed to learn your preferred route... or is that no longer a "thing"?
As a delivery driver I rely on Waze to get me to locations on time, and with literally hundreds of gated communities in the greater Orlando area that makes Waze a hindrance, not a help! Several times I've been delayed by 10+ minutes because of Waze's inability to understand that NOT EVERY ROAD IS ACCESSIBLE TO EVERYONE. How is that "fair" to the larger Waze community as a whole? Waze should be accessible to everyone, not just to the elite few who live in million dollar mansions that have exclusive access to shortcuts inside their McCountryClubs that they already know about and don't need an app like Waze to tell them about!
This becomes an even more critical issue in tourist-heavy locations like Orlando, where visitors are taken to a back entrance with only a card reader and no information about where the main entrance is. I recently had this problem and had to "force" my way back to a main road before Waze rerouted to the main entrance, rather than telling me to make a u-turn to go back to the location I couldn't enter!
Waze can already differentiate between "dirt road" and "toll roads," there's no reason why "restricted access" roads can't be a thing.
Waze should not route drivers through roads that are known to be restricted to residents, cardholders, employees, etc.
The simple fix is to mark those roads as one-way streets (for community exits, so everyone can exit the property easily), and mark the entrance lanes as "restricted," and never route a driver to that location until the Waze *USER* has taken that route several times (Waze still "learns" your preferred routes over time, right?).
Right now the rest of us, including tourists and new drivers, still get taken to places we're not allowed to go, leaving us stranded, trying to find another way to get in. This is especially harmful to those of us who drive for a living. It's bad enough being taken to a resident-only restricted entrance to a gated community when you're delivering a pizza and end up late because you have to figure out how to get to the right place, but imagine being a ride share driver taking a tourist from the airport to their rental house only to end up at the back gate and not know where the front entrance is? It's bad enough that taxi cab drivers have a reputation for taking the longest possible route to run up the meter, why do we willingly force this on our own community of users?
I've repeatedly been given the brushoff excuse of "Waze is for commuters", however anyone in a commuting situation will know that certain dedicated entrances are available for their use, like a gated community that has a second entrance on the opposite side of the property that requires an entry card, clicker or transponder, but doesn't have a call box or security guard to facilitate non-resident entry.
Out of the nearly 16 million registered drivers in Florida alone, Waze says we should give preferential treatment to the 300 residents in a gated community... How is THAT fair to the rest of the Waze community?
