I live near the Georgia, USA, I-75 Northwest Corridor Express Lanes. When a user enters the Express Lanes without a corresponding pass in settings, Waze acts like the road doesn't exist and keeps offering turns as if they were on the main highway, going the opposite direction, on nearby surface streets, etc. After entry there are very few ways to exit the Express Lanes, and it's unhelpful to have suggestions to turn around or to exit from the main highway when you're in the Express Lanes. Perhaps Waze could recognize that the user is on the road, stop freaking out about the lack of a pass, and just let the user deal with the consequences if they don't have a pass. It's the same when they change the schedule and a user drives northbound but Waze thinks the road is heading southbound at that time. Waze keeps saying "I know that road is oriented southbound right now, so you must be driving in reverse by heading northbound at 75mph. I'll tell you to take backwards exits and get you off this road ASAP!" It would be great if there were some mechanism to make the routing server realize that despite any programmed restrictions, a vehicle is actually traveling on that highway and should start receiving proper routing instructions.

As an example, the Tesla routing will not ever suggest using the express lanes as far as I can tell, no matter what options are selected. Once I'm on the Express Lanes, however, Tesla realizes I'm on a recognized road and will route me to my destination using valid exits until it can get me back on a road it is able to use. Now it will try to get me to exit early to get on the regular highway, but once I ignore that instruction it goes back to navigating the Express Lanes. Waze on the other hand acts like there's no road at all if I don't have a pass entered or if the road is operating out of cycle from the programmed schedule. Its instructions in that case are completely unusable until back on a regular segment. I hope this makes sense but can provide more explanation if needed.
