I support this idea.
I have noticed that when a very bad traffic condition occurs, Waze gives only local alternative route options that rejoin the original route. I would like to see a "get out of a real problem" button.
This morning there was a parked removal lorry some half a mile from where I joined the queue. But all I could see was a line of cars in front going nowhere. One route option included a mile and a half detour around an estate to rejoin the original route a hundred metres further along on the wrong side of the parked van.
It would be handy for more radical route options to be available eg "give me some options that ignore the existing route entirely and if necessary backtrack and take me all the way round the area of the current route". It might mean a "James Bond Aston Martin seat ejector button" -type button :D to get me out of a problem, if you get my drift...?
I would like to see a a "radical re-route" list of route options.
Now I realise that Waze can only work with the current map data, but I am sure that others will have fallen foul of this problem too.

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.

A no-brainer...!

It stands to reason that the W3W accuracy is far superior to postcodes. Addresses can be variable in accuracy, much to the driver's annoyance.
For the purposes of any human being at any point in the foreseeable future, a 3m square is likely to move no more than a couple of centimetres in their lifetime. Hence the W3W location model is pretty-much fool proof... my wife excepted ha ha!
Don't show this to my wife... :-)
Waze, please adopt W3W...
