Make an opt in feature where it shows where the carpool lanes start and end on the map.

Can you explain how this was addressed? We continue to have significant issues with HOV routing.

I'll give that a try, but it doesn't make a ton of sense to me to designate my private vehicle as a taxi just to gain HOV routing.

This response does not address the idea. If a segment is only available for HOV+2, meaning there are two or more people in the vehicle, then how does a Wazer convey to Waze that they are compliant with the HOV+2 law and offer the segment as a route? When choosing a route, if a route requires HOV+2 (or more) compliance, Waze should ask the user before allowing the route. The current list of HOV passes and tag systems does not have HOV+2 as an option, moreover, this vehicle status changes on every trip. I would not expect a user to add or delete their owned passes to declare HOV+2 or not. This needs to happen.

Give me an option (in Settings???) to eliminate the car pool button. I primarily drive for my job and can NOT car pool. The button just takes up space that could be used for other map functions.

We need an option to completely disable and ignore toll/carpool lanes, so that it will never tell me to go into one or out of one and I can choose to do what I want on my own. It keeps telling me to exit the carpool lane when I am not in the carpool lane. Every 1 to 2 mi it's telling me to exit again and again and again.

Please do not close requests to allow DISABLING HOV lane here as "Now Available (ENABLING available for taxis)". This is dishonest and disrespectful to users and it feels almost like we have a rogue Waze staff here who really want to suppress the complaints.

This mandatory HOV routing caused me to waste hours because I miss highway exits and almost crashed because I had to change 5 lanes to get out of HOV left lanes to take the non-HOV exit! How dare Waze dropped this nasty app behavior change on us! If people got into accidents because Waze forced HOV lanes on everybody, they should be liable for lawsuits!

This HOV routing menace is a deal breaker for me to stop using Waze altogether!

I realize “there’s no plans for new HOV features” but this is making google maps take the edge. I can’t legally take the HOV lane most of the time but that’s the route that’s constantly planned out for me and it’s frustrating waiting for the GPS to recalibrate every time I don’t go into the HOV lane. Not even “changing to taxi” creates a toggle so I’m not sure why that’s always the suggestion

I wish I could downvote this. I want to be able to completely REMOVE or DISABLE the carpooling option.

Incluir la opción de etiqueta ambiental y/o número de ocupantes del vehiculo para que en los cálculos de navegación incluya los carriles para vehículos de alta ocupación

Please an an option to not be in the HOV lane. It’s still being tested where I am - Highway 880 in the San Francisco Bay Area. Drivers don’t know how to use it properly. It becomes a faster than fast lane. And don’t tell me to “To change your vehicle type go to Settings > Vehicle type. There are currently no plans to add more HOV options.” because I already use the Private vehicle option and the HOV navigation shows up. There is no non HOV option. I won’t use the HOV lane!!! Please be courteous to us users and add the option.

Turn off the fucking car pool feature it sucks and no one likes it.

I don't understand why carpooling routes are only available sometimes instead of every day during commuter hours. I carpool with work friends every single day during the week and on days where a carpool route option is mysteriously offered, we save ourselves anywhere from 30 mins to an hour in commute time. This feature also makes it more attractive to ride with others, thereby getting more unnecessary cars off the road. Please make carpool routes separate but permanent from other routes.

I drive HOV in Virginia every work day. Yet it is NEVER an option for me (WAZE via Android Auto). I can't even search for the route, AND it doesn't show up when I'm in the HOV lanes (WAZE insists I get off). Virginia does not require HOV passes/tags/etc., just 3 occupants and today I was over 30 minutes late because of an accident in the HOV. But I wouldn't actually know it wasn't the best route because it's never an option anyway. But the weird thing is that my husband CAN get it as a suggestion (WAZE via Android Auto as well), and I can't find ANY setting in my WAZE app that would change that for me. So if I could just mark that somewhere it would be amazing.

Using carpool, I get riders suggested that only allow me use of a portion of the HOV lanes on my way to work because their drop off is not close to my work. Other riders allow me to use HOV lanes all the way in. In this city, that’s a huge timesaver. Waze should recommend riders that offer the shortest overall commute time by maximizing time in HOV lanes instead of just showing how many minutes off the route a rider is.

Hi, I have noticed if I add my CAV decal in toll and HOV passes I get different options than if I remove it, and sometimes the options of the one not chosen are better. Would be great to get best possible route if HOV passes are added, even if that route is what you would get without the pass, and vice versa. Best possible is to combine both and get best possible. Thanks!

This is now an option if I am not mistaken

I agree, a simple toggle on the HOV lane would be helpful. Maybe an easy way to turn it off/on depending number of passengers.

Waze gets totally confused if one is driving a carpool lane during heaving traffic. I'm doing 60mph while regular lanes are 20mph. Waze wants me to exit. I ignore it so it's constantly re-rerouting. I'm in a carpool flyover and again Waze gets totally confused thinking I'm on some other road and re-routes every 30 seconds because it has no idea where I'm really located. I ignore it. I would also think that this will result bad data to your servers who may think the regular lanes are clearing.
