Send lane INTERDICTION alert through the vehicle's multimedia.
Hello, I believe that the following idea is an improvement and it is not a possible bug solution, because the functionality would have been tested before the release of the version.
When trying to send a lane interdiction alert through the vehicle's multimedia, the option does not appear, just using the cell phone without mirroring, I am using a cell phone with an IOS operating system, but the same behavior is seen with cell phones with an Android operating system.
Particularly, I don't walk with my cell phone in hand while driving, nor would I like to stop the vehicle…

Put a bike lane in the Lincoln and Holland tunnels
https://twitter.com/waze/status/1091359985647394816
Nobody can walk into NYC from Jersey City/Hoboken. You need to drive a vehicle or take a bus. Seems really tone def. I'm just following instructions from your twitter account. Would love for you to work with the port authority of new york / new jersey to get a bike lane or some way for pedestrians to walk under the tunnel.

passing lanes on single lane roads - wouldn't be great if one could get informed how long the incoming passing lane is?
Passing lanes - always a guessing game how long they are - the roads sign is there, and tell you that is coming ahead, but sometimes you have a very short one, meaning you won't be able to pass if you are three cars behind. Would be a good hint to all drivers, as slow down to let pass, or get ready to do a quick passing. - So once the road sign saying passing lane 1 mile ahead - you could tap on screen and see it's length too or set app to warn you if shorter tan…

Give the option to say I entered the express lane or not
Every morning Waze says to use the express lane. I usually don’t need to. In the afternoon I am not told to use the express lane. I almost always need to. If I could say when I entered it or not Waze could get better data to suggest when I will need the express lane

Identify when passing is allowed on two lane roads
Two lane roads, usually rural, have designated areas where it is legal to pass. It would be very helpful to have those identified as you approach so you know you will have an opportunity to pass as it approaches. Many times people tailgate until reaching one and this could prevent that activity and make it safer to pass in general.

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.

Route info for drivers eligible for the Commute (HOV) lane.
When giving route info do you take into consideration wether commuters are eligible to use the commute (HOV) lane. Some commute lanes require 2 or 3 persons per vehicle. We were traveling form Palm Springs to Redwood City, California, and were diverted to an alternate route because of traffic conditions. We were not sure if the commute lanes
were also full.4 votesThank you for your suggestion! As you may know, Waze offers HOV routing for taxis. To change your vehicle type go to Settings > Vehicle type. There are currently no plans to add more HOV options.

Bus lanes - when you are allowed to use them - or is there any bus lane watch out for
I would love to see bus lanes in Waze. I live in London, driving 50 or so miles a day and I think it would help to get from A to B faster.
In London majority of bus lanes are restricted for certain times.
for example 07 am to 10 am and any other times anyone can use it. Or different times, the point is that they are not always restricted.The way I see it, a small icon on the screen that resembles to something like a bus lane when the bus lane where you are is…

Colour code the best lane options for upcoming turns
It would be fantastic if the lanes could be colour coded for upcoming turns to get you into the best lane possible. Example is if you are a long way from the turn, have all the lanes in Green. Then as you get closer to the intersection, colour the lanes next to your optimal turning lane in Orange and all other lanes in Red. This would then encourage you to get into the correct lane in preparation for your turn well in advance. This would help when you are in heavily congested traffic, multilane highways…

Show Lane Guidance Even If Continuing Through Junction
Lane guidance (along with Visual Instructions) is a great and helpful feature, but I've noticed that it really only comes up if making a turn.
There are many locations I've come across as an editor where a Visual Instruction would be great if continuing on the road because it provides the driver with more information. Unfortunately, even if I add it to the system it never comes up because I'm going straight through the intersection/junction.
I think showing lane guidance regardless of the "turn" would make the app more user friendly, but it obviously needs to be balanced to not…

Suggestion to add 'vehicle stopped in lane' in the 'hazard on road' option.
I often encounter vehicles stopped in the lane on the interstate as well as the surface streets. It would be helpful to have an option to report that hazard just as you can report a vehicle stopped on the side of the road. This would definitely help drivers so that they are aware and prepared for that hazard.
