I check these 5 Waze settings before letting it choose my route

I use Waze virtually every day. Even when I know where I'm going, I still plug the address into my phone and let it navigate through Apple CarPlay in my vehicle. Why? It shows if there are any issues with my usual route, like heavier than usual traffic, an accident, or construction. I can get a head's up when police officers have been spotted to watch my speed. Plus, there are other useful updates, like an estimated time of arrival.
