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.

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…

More advance notice on warnings while driving
For more time to respond while driving to safety warnings it would be great to allow them to come in a mile or so in advance. This would allow accurate time to respond and safely transition to another lane… It would be good also if this was available for police warnings as well.
Thanks!

Add the ability to edit and combine reports
for example,
(1) correct 'danger' to 'stopped vehicle' and 'stopped vehicle' to 'police',
and
(2) combine 'accident' or 'police' with 'blocked lane'2 votes -
Semi-Permanent Hazards
Allow editors to add semi-permanent hazards such as lane blockages and construction, similarly to how we can add fully-permanent hazards like speed bumps and sharp curves.

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.

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.

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…

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.

Can you please place Stoplight icons at all intersections including it along any 4 lane routes.
We don’t see stoplight icons on our maps like google and maps offer. They really help us know how many stoplights are ahead before having to make a turn. Also if the speed limit sign could stay on in upper RH corner the whole time that would be helpful while traveling through other states. Thank you! We are new to the app and love it otherwise.

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!

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. -
Hope Waze Adds 3D Maps
Hope Waze can add a 3D map view like Amap to make lane guidance clearer at complex junctions and highways. This would help drivers avoid choosing the wrong lane.
Since Google Maps is also introducing 3D maps, it would be great to see this in Waze too.

Contribution reward for driver who give way during heavy traffic
during heavy traffic jam, driver hit the gas & stop again, the traffic condition remain not smoothly for very long period.
can waze pop up a message to driver, drive slow to 20km/h(or some specific detected speed ) to keep distance with front car & change to slow lane. and who accept this get the reward.and always pop up a mesage teaching driver don't cruise at the fast lane, give way to other & collect reward when they accept
of course if gps can really detect the driver who really change lane, the reward ranked are…

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.

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.13 votes
