Manual turn guidance: "Continue"
One of the most requested features of Waze is the "continue" prompt.
I'm proposing we place the "continue" prompt into a variety of scenarios where the re-assurance is appropriate, and is not given by exiting turn/keep prompts.
1) The best continuation to/from a ramp or freeway segment from/to a different road type, when there are other turns available. These are often signed by a forward arrow on roadside signs.
Examples:
ON:
Woodbine / Hwy 404 DVP / Lake Shore Trafalgar P&R @ Hwy 407 BC:
Alderbrige / 91
Counter example:
2) 403 / Center View '
99 / Sea Island Way
2) International border crossings
The majority of North Americans do not carry enough ID to successfuly cross the border, and these "blind" drivers. It's best to give reassurance that they will be crossing the border at the "point of no return".
4) Upon entering a tolled segment as the best continuation (i.e., "Toll Road" would have never been announced).
Rationale: Because "Avoid toll roads" is merely a penalty, it is good to inform the user that wherever they will continue to next is tolled. In San Francisco, there is no un-tolled method going westbound across the San Francisco Bay, except for driving around the Bay. We often get URs saying "toll booth" or "WTFBBQ no one toll me it wasn't tolled". Informing users before the point of no-return at least gives them a chance to re-route themselves.

5) The BC from one freeway to another freeway.
It gives better context as to where the list of instructions (and exit number) is representing. I propose this instruction is given either at the merge, or the last exit where the continuing freeway name is signed
