A button for HOV or non-HOV
There should be a button to tell Waze whether the car is in the HOV lane. 1), it would help Waze better determine traffic speed since it wouldn't average Wazer's in the HOV lanes with the speeds of those driving slower. 2), the Map would/could show the average speed of HOV or non HOV speeds. A Wazer in the HOV lane could really impact the accurate speed average shown (and vice versa).

Great thinking! The issue you raised has been addressed in a recent redesign. Hope you like it!

I completely agree! Some days the HOV is the absolute worst and you can be trapped for an hour. I would love to get the heads up to avoid it before you get stuck!

In most metro areas, there are HOV lanes that are not to used by signle rider autos durring specific times. When driving to or from work, I'm routed using HOV lanes. Not sure if there is a way to make the app smarter in knowing what times HOV lanes are only to used by 2/3 rider autos or are "Open to all traffic." Or add another button.option within the app Yes/No to HOV.
Thank you!!!!!

Allow useres an option for choosing that they are HOV lane compliant. This way you waze can give traffic feedback for us in the HOV lane.

I agree, a condition toggle for USE or DON'T USE HOV LANE is necessary for a few reasons. Like Speedy said, when he's solo he shouldn't be told to take the HOV lane--it needs to ignore those lanes. In my case, I use them and I'd prefer it calculate and guide based on using them.
Furher, I'm sure that when I'm driving in the HOV lane at full speed and the mainline of the freeway is stopped, my speeds are throwing off the average for both sets of lanes.
WAZE needs to differentiate between both HOV and regular mainline lanes on the freeway.
NOTE: I also posted this with an "iPhone" suggestion since Waveguider posted a similar idea!

A lot on time Waze tells me there is a quicker route, but it requires I use the Carpool Lane or a Carpool Only Ramp.
I can't do this when travelling Solo.
We need an Avoid Carpool Lanes/Ramps" option.

Please add a switch. This would apply to "clearing" jammed speeds for non carpool Wazers, when I go thru jammed/slow traffic @ speed in carpool lane, and help me a little when Waze is routing me.
