Exactly, I received a violation because WAZE directed me onto a carpool lane freeway entrance only. It was a quick left and quick right by USC off of Flower and 39th.

Often when in the car pool lane Waze prompts me to move to the right to connect to another freeway when there is a direct connection from one car pool lane to the other freeway.

The user should simply check a box for "carpool/HOV eligibile". Some areas have dedicated roads separated from the main highway (Houston apparently), others have designated lanes (San Francisco, for example). The former can't drive on the chosen route (similar to "avoid toll roads"), and the latter will get unrealistic drive times. Waze could be able to deal with either situation off of one setting.

sometimes the navigation directs the driver to express/carpool lanes, but if your a single driver they are not available options. I think there should be a setting or drive option to set how any people are in the vehicle so the navigation can readily use carpool/express lanes to drivers advantage to bypass traffic and make the drive faster. Since carpool and express lanes sometimes have operating times based on the time of day it would be helpful

I drive in Houston. I have stopped using Waze because it always directs me to the HOV lanes! I drive alone. Please make an HOV option in settings.

Being able to identify yourself as a carpool so Waze lets you take advantage of roads with carpool lanes.

In quebec, many roads are avaible only if you are 2 or more persons in car. It may change fastest road. Maybe an option ''use carpool lanes' should be great

Add an HOV/express/toll lane feature for users to check when using these lanes for improved routing.

HOV ONLY, more specifically. Waze can not tell which lane a car is in, yet, due to the inaccuracy of the GPS it uses. Soon this will be possible, but TRUCK ROUTES, yes, in the Washington DC area, this is of extreme importance. Many routes in and out of DC limit the use of trucks, and Waze does not currently support this feature, but it should.

Needs an HOV on/off button. We carpool and use the HOV lanes. Waze could make better calculations if this was accounted for.

A selection to show traffic on Carpool lane and choose for routes

I'm in Houston and can't use the HOV lane. Waze keeps trying to route me onto the HOV. It's making the app almost unusable. If it's not addressed soon, I will probably switch to another app. It's a shame, I love waze otherwise.

Waze goes to great lengths to avoid the 405 in LA. But with 2 or more people in the car it might still be a better option.

Make it available to avoid HOV lanes. I get routed to use them and I can't. So the best route for me can't be met.

ugh I just got a ticket because Waze took me into an Express lane in LA. I didn't know you had to have a certain pass in order to use the Express lane. Because I was in a rental car, now I have to pay the fine plus the fees from the car rental company! Thanks Waze.

Hov feature. I use everyday

Carpooling designation option

Please add an hov feature for non toll freeways

I was taken to a HOV lane only on ramp and I am not a HOV driver. This was the only lane option to get on the freeway at this entrance. I had never been on this on ramp and thought there must be a regular driver lane next to it, there wasn't. It was Friday afternoon traffic and we were going pretty fast and I wasn't paying as close attention as I should have ( was in an important convo) and suddenly as I realized I'm in this "only" lane I couldn't make my way out of this lane and now I'm stuck in this HOV only onramp with a $461 ticket option waiting for me if I get caught by a cop. Thank god I did not, but I did get a ticket via the camera. Not only did this cause me undesirable stress while swiftly getting out of this lane before getting caught, but I'm stuck with $25 ticket, yes it's only $25, but would prefer not to pay this ticket at all. Please make an announcement, and stress this is an ONLY HOV lane or make it available o Waze to option in or out of HOV. Thank you

I was on my way to work and Waze put me on the gridlocked freeway and instructed me to move to the far left to the hov or hot lane which would have been nice if I had more people in my car to qualify for that lane.
