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.

OK, I don't know if this will work, so here goes... 'mashing' the accelerator (Post comment button)
This is my 1st post, so please, be gentle. I haven't figured out how to display (much less search) the forum yet. I imagine this subject has been discussed Ad nauseam (or at least until everyone's carsick). Anyway, here's my 2¢ toll.
Is there a way to accommodate many's wishes? I don't know, but there'd be more buttons for more preferences, prompts, computational infrastructure & an untold amount of programming (the juice might not be worth the squeeze or juice/squeeze, ratio).
If WAZE is about getting people from A to B (out-smarting traffic), then why are there not different modes of transportation to represent how people travel? Is WAZE's Primary Direction helping cars or people? If WAZE is only about automobiles, then WAZE might drop service of buses, blimps (oops, how'd that get in here?), postal workers, truck drivers, commercial deliveries, taxis, uber, commercial services (contractors-yuck), motorcycles, race cars, and all the similar riff raff.
Consider if most modes of transportation were represented in WAZE. Then, if a disconnect were detected moving with (or not) with traffic, WAZE could query the user's mode of transportation: hiking, walking, swimming, running, bicycle, autonomous, boat, plane, space ship, other (wormhole, fold space; can we ignore no clue?) etc. and route traffic per its intrinsic abilities (sub surface travel is automatically excluded since GPS doesn't work well at all under solid or liquid substances like thick tree canopy, soil & water). Let's say a different user doesn't want all this nonsense on their screen. Could an optional preference turn it all (or partially) on or off if they want the option of having all the options (roundabout reasoning)?
OK, maybe a different User doesn't want to have to deal with all the options; just cars. Could that person be served by something like WAZE Base Model?
Some people don't like advertisements. Is $ insufficient to offer a block button?
Maybe a geek like me likes some of the older features such as shortest distance or shortest time. Maybe I'd like every feature known to WAZE; ever. Could there be something like WAZE Over Loaded? Maybe I'm crazy enough to allow WAZE use my computers' extra computational resources to help process my ridiculous desire to have every option. Maybe I'd even have to upgrade my bandwidth to accommodate it.
The point is, I don't know. You guys are very creative. Just look at what you've accomplished through WAZE. Getting any 2 people to agree on anything is optimistic, but WAZE strives for consensus from every crazy, flipping, idiot, rebel capable of signing on (I personally represent these remarks).
May I suggest that we invest our time, money, etc. where our interests take us? Can we express interest in options in advance to estimate $? If Management gets enough interest, can they look at the cost/benefit and assess the juice/squeeze ratio?
All I ask is to be left out of all the ciphering. There's way too much to read here on this forum. Besides, I don't know where to start typing
