Spoken instructions on second next turn
Could you please add spoken instructions on the second next turn? Now it just says "in 200 meters turn left" but in a multi lane situation it makes quite a difference which lane you are in if the second next turn is either left or right.
Other navigation apps and systems, such as Google and Garmin, will tell you "in 200 meters turn left, then right". That is very useful information because it allows you to choose the best lane to easily make the second next turn.
Waze is already very good and if you can add this feature it…2 votes -
Allow junction boxes to include RoundABout exits to prohibit illegal route suggestion possibility.
This is not about lane control, it is to attempt to prevent in Australia, left/next exits on some Roundabouts when a dedicated exit is missed.
The are RABs that you can not take the first exit on, you had to have taken an exit lane before the RAB.
It would be useful to be able to restrict these particular exit choices when required. A JB would be drawn to cover the area and be allowed to restrict that particular A-B.
Thanks.

during heavy traffic jam, driver hit the gas & stop again, the traffic condition remain not smoothly for very long period.

Account for congestion of multiple lanes merging into one
When there is a junction with two highways and a small road, consider it a standstill traffic jam heading from any highway onto a small road. Because it's 4-6 lanes going into 1 lane - it will certainly slow traffic down to a halt.

Bring back Service Lanes
I'm frustrated with the recent attempts by Waze to take me off of the main road and into the Service Lane, only to tell me to get back onto the main road further up.
I disagree with this method of saving time because it's rude to other users and not a constructive use of the road.Previously, Waze labelled these roads differently to the actual road and wouldn't route you there unless necessary for arriving at your destination. Now, it's just silly and I'm constantly having to touch my phone, scrolling to see if I actually need to use…

Addind a "Facing the opposite direction" button
When I get to the car, many times Waze suggest a route in the oposite direction of how the car is parked. This causes a major time loss as the app needs time to realize I'm headind the opposite way, recalculate and offer a new route. Therefore a banner "facing the opposite lane?" is necessary and would upgrade the app signifully.
Sorry for my English.19 votesThank you for this suggestion.
Setting the Car’s direction when starting the app and navigation is a known matter which will be addressed in the future.
There are many complexities in location tracking which cause this issue and hold us from providing a solution.
It’s currently on the back burner, but definitely a part of the backlog. -
Ability to say 'dont send me this way again' for dangerous turns or bad neighborhoods.
I live in a big city with a long commute and many options to to my destinations. Sometimes the way Waze sends me around traffic is dangerous (i.e. Turning left onto a 5 lane, busy highway just to immediately turn right, or through high crime areas). An option to indicate unsafe guidance and not to suggest it again would be great.

Allow reporting of New Incidents while an Alert is active (Android Auto)
When using Waze on Android Auto, if an active alert (e.g., speed camera, crash, lane closure) is currently displayed on the screen, the button to report a new incident becomes inaccessible or disappears.
To submit a new report, the driver is currently forced to first accept or close the existing alert. This is highly impractical and potentially unsafe while driving.This limitation prevents users from easily reporting multiple, co-located events (like a lane closure and a crash) in densely populated areas where multiple things often happen near each other.
I suggest that the Report Button should remain visible and accessible…

OBJECT IN ROAD
Need a very specifc alert for object in road. HAZARD REPORTED AHEAD is 90% of the time a car on the side of the road. There should be a verbal alert for objects. MUCH not important than a disabled car on the side of the road. Sample "OBJECT IN ROAD REPORTED AHEAD -CENTER LANE Now that's information we can use!

highway wrong direction car alert
it could be useful to add an alert to inform other wazers that a car is driving in wrong direction (very useful for the Highways). The alert will blink to any wazer smartphone display that is driving that way before the alert point.
This feature could permit alerted drivers to mantain the right lane till the end of the emergency.11 votes -
Matrix signs in the app : The digital traffic signs (matrix signs) are above the motorway. The actual information of these signs can be used

Layer at multi direction road
Due to modern road infrastructure, today interchange has multiple layer, in waze will show all layer as one, thus is easy to miss judge the correct lane.

Long Time Report from WME or Livemap
I think this is something that has been asked and requested for a long time from all over the world.
I think that it would be very useful to be able to insert Long Time Reports from WME or Livemap, also in order to better manage crisis or event situations.
The Report should Be:
Work on Road
Narrow or Low Road
Dangerous Road
Landslide
Changing lane
One way alternatively controlled by traffic light44 votes -
Not there outside routing
We need an option to report "Not There" on incidents, even if it's not on the planned route. Now it's only possible when a popup comes up for the planned route. The "Not There" option should be present on any popup when clicking on an incident icon, even if it's on the other lane or outside the planned route, but within viewing distance.

Allow using lanes reserved for public transportation
Excellent software! Thanks.
Drivers entitled to public transport lanes are guides away from such lanes.
Public transport lanes option would be an important feature.

Report two different things with one event report
Example of what I mean: Last week I reported an accident on the highway, but because I moved while reporting it I could not also report an object on the road, what has happen is, a car crashed on the light post and it then ended up on the highway's right lane.
