Earlier notice for blocked lanes
Why in the world do we only get .2 miles notice for an upcoming blocked lane? Everything else is half a mile. This is equally important for drivers to know as far in advance as possible.

Add to reporting options
Please consider adding an addition to the hazard, crashes or traffic jams portion of the reporting...I.e., hazard LEFT shoulder, crash RIGHT lane, RIGHT or LEFT lane closed merge right/left. Today we do not know where the issue is, and this would be super helpful in Miami traffic 😩

Lengthening alert time before left/right turns
When approaching a right or left turn, the application many times doesn't give enough time to respond.
I assume this might be partly because of inaccuracies in the car location, but I think the basic problem is not recognizing it takes time to move from lane to lane, especially in crowded roads.
In my opinion you should lengthen the time for the final alert to at least 6-8 seconds before the turn.
I must emphasize that this time should be the time of the end of the alert, and not the beginning of it!8 votes -
Feature Suggestion for Toll Payment Navigation in Malaysia Dear Waze Team, I’m Mr. Chua Wey Choong from Malaysia (User ID: RyanChuaaaaaaaa
Dear Waze Team,
Currently, when approaching a toll plaza, many drivers are unsure where the RFID, SmartTAG, or cash lanes are located. This often leads to last-minute lane changes, causing traffic congestion and, at times, dangerous situations.
Suggestions for Improvement:
Toll Logo on the MapWhen a driver is approaching a toll plaza, display a small toll logo on the map to indicate its presence.
Alternatively, provide a small pop-up notification when nearing a toll.
Lane Positioning for RFID UsersShow a box displaying the approximate position of the RFID lane (e.g., "RFID is at lane 9/10") when a…

I15 Fastrak - HOV Only
An option for Carpool Lanes that let you pay if single vehicle that shows if it is only HOV allowed. Example California I15 Fastrak you can pay and use the lane (with appropriate transponder) however, if it is marked HOV only then you are not allowed to use the lane unless 2+ however, by the time you go the optimal route that takes you the express lanes and if HOV only it would have been more expedient to go a back road. It would be nice to see if the Fastrak is HOV only or Toll Option.
3 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.

Simplify and organize the user reports
The last major change to reports have been very confusing in a few ways.
- There are redundant and overlapping reports now. E.g. there is construction blocking the right lane. Do I report that as construction then go back and report right lane blocked?
One option would be to change this to have a construction tab which would be other side, right lane, left lane, center lane, shoulder. Then the drivers would know where the construction is.
Where did the ”Car stopped on road" report go? This is MUCH more important than the car on shoulder. If…

Commuter tips & tricks
How about using everyones experience in commuting to add tips that pop up while driving a route? example: use the left lane at this intersection to get through faster, or temporary construction right lane closed etc. Utilize the knowledge of people that drive these routes everyday and their daily experience and observations on the route they drive every day.

Closed off Lanes.
Hello again Waze,
I believe another useful feature would be an easy way to indicate to other drivers where a Lane (of a road) has been closed off (in addition to the ability to highlight ‘Roadworks’).
This would greatly assist other drivers who are stuck further back in a queue, in deducing what is causing a traffic holdup ahead.Best Rgrds,

Can add Favorites with GPS position
Add a "Add actual position" or something like this when we want to add a new favorite.
It's better for adding places than address when we are in an unknow long lane in the middle of the countryside...

always before a fork or road pre-selection, ie when you have to keep right with 2 parallel roads, it is ideal to mark the lane with flashin
always before a fork or road pre-selection, ie when you have to keep right with 2 parallel roads, it is ideal to mark the lane with flashing yellow so as not to create confusion on highways with two parallel lanes and you do not realize which you follow it because both are blue and it is difficult to drive and you will notice after 2 lanes having the same color that you have to follow.

Changing lanes
As a qualified driving instructor I very much like your app. However, when instructing to change lanes, your instructions often come too late often leaving the pupil straddling lanes or prevented from changing lanes. Advance warning is needed.
