Add the option to Select the Car Pool Lane when determining routes
Add the option to select the Car Pool Lane when determining the quickest routes. In los angeles and other major cities we have a lot of car pool lanes that do not connect that should be factored into possible routes. Waze already tracks the speed in carpool lanes but does not factor that in when determining quickest route because there is no option to tell it whether you have multiple passengers or not.
Great thinking! The issue you raised has been addressed in a recent redesign. Hope you like it!

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.

Definitely need this!
I sometimes have someone else in the car with me so being able to advise how many people are in the car to then be able to make use of carpool/T2/transit lanes would make quite a difference on certain routes.
