UI Improvement for exiting to parallel/marginal roads (Visual Transition Zone)
Hi Waze team!
I would like to suggest a UI improvement regarding maneuvers where the driver needs to exit a main expressway to enter a parallel/marginal road.
The Problem: Currently, when the route requires leaving the main road for a parallel one, the standard purple route line often blends in with the main road on the map. Because the roads are right next to each other, it can be very confusing to determine the exact moment to switch lanes and take the exit, often leading to missed turns.
The Proposed Solution (as seen in the attached image): Create a distinct visual highlight for the “transition zone.” My suggestion is to have the route line change color (e.g., from purple to a bright orange/yellow, as illustrated) or become significantly thicker for about 300 meters before and 300 meters after the exit.
This would provide drivers with immediate, intuitive visual feedback that the upcoming maneuver is a transition to a parallel road, making it much easier to navigate safely without second-guessing the map.
Thank you for your time and for the great work on the app!
