Waze often sends me into the thick of traffic during rush hour, ostensibly on a faster route as measured by other Wazers' progress. However, when I see the traffic volume and divert to a route I know will be relatively traffic free, it's much faster because not only are there no Wazers on my alternative route, _there's no traffic at all_. Should be a simple addition to make, an option to route me to the nearest shortest path with zero Wazer reports. In a major metro area, that only happens when there's no traffic on that route at all. It's easy to spot other Wazers on the road; they're the ones joining you in diving for the exit ramp when Waze pops up a route change...
