Show which side of the street the location is on when you turn onto it
I would love for Waze to show which side of the street the location is on when you turn onto the final street. This would be especially helpful when there are two lanes to the road and you need to know which lane to be in.

Separate toggles for Toll Bridges and Express Lanes
Please add an option to avoid Express Lanes while still using Toll Bridges.
The HOV lanes in my area are being converted to Express Lanes that charge excessive tolls (closing in on $10) to use them. I refuse to drive in them. However, it's necessary for me to cross toll bridges to get to work (avoiding them will add an hour to my commute). If I tell Waze to avoid tolls, I avoid the Express Lanes AND the Toll Bridges, which is terrible.
Separating the 'Toll' toggle into 'Toll Bridges' and 'Express Lanes' would be…15 votes -
Mobile Police Unit Reporting Plan
“Report Mobile Emergency Vehicle” voice command to prompt the query ‘type and direction of travel’ followed by the Wazer reply “Police/Fire/Ambulance - My Lane/Opposite Lane”. This would follow with allerting Wazers a predetermined distance ahead (1 to 5 miles) in any lane of travel to be on the lookout. Police presence is to encourage obeying speed limits and this feature acts as an extended police presence. This feature also alerts traffic to make way for emergency vehicles as we are in most countries legally obliged. Programming and implementation should be straightforward, but as any open source requires community…

Stop HOV Notifications
WAZE will always default to HOV. It is not always the most efficient and best option, especially during non-rush hour, when the option to lane change makes more sense. It adds unnecessary and distracting instructions to driving. I have made lane changes because WAZE is telling me to get off of an HOV that I was never on. This option is clearly state centric for California and does not make sense countrywide.

Traffic fixer/ Auto Traffic Control
Use the wazer data to "improve" traffic scenarios. Like serving as air traffic control, waze could recommend speed to reduce the stop and go of traffic and "fix" one of the causes of traffic from driving habits. Would prob need to expand functionality to identify travel lane .. But with the number wazers around it could have huge impact

Right Center Left description for alerts such as hazards
ADD buttons for
Right
Center
Left
The app already has a description for everything else you just need to add the above on a single line.Other side of the highway would be nice to have.
The ability to UPDATE a notice someone else added to show misreported or under-reported notifications.
It works now as,
Hazard reported shoulderWELL as a responder I might want to get something out of that side of the road BEFORE the hazard gets worse or move over to a clear lane.
So the change would work something like,
Hazard reported RIGHT shoulder.You…

Listen here. Look at you, you goin 55 in a 30. You got a left turn on Melrose comin up. Get in the left god damn lane. Nah, there ain’t no stores that sell danishes in your area. You better slow down Larry! Enough said.

Add "Help me" button
I use Waze all the time while i drive the roads around Israel and i see people stuck on the road a lot. but i cannot always stop and assist since i am driving too fast or on the far lane when i cannot reach them. this "help me" button will pop up (like any other report) and ask for help: maybe a person needs a jump, or a ride to somewhere, or help changing a tire. the respondent will have an "on my way" button to come and help that person.

the operation of the classification tape has changed adversely
It is unpleasant that the meaning of the upper ribbon has changed during navigation. So far, the classification signal has shown in which lane I should move according to my current situation. This has changed and now it shows that at some point, when I have to change direction, in which lane I will have to be classified. This is very distracting while driving and dangerous for accidents. Please restore the previous system!

Wide/Oversize Load Hazard
As a Wide/Oversize Load Escort it would be great to have an option on the Hazard menu to warn of "WIDE LOAD" hazards such as narrow bridges, low wires, etc. because it often involves dangerous last minute lane changes or braking.

Ability to add obstructions offline
Wish there was a way to add (eg, road closures) offline - currently it seems the only way to do it is to actually drive there until the triangle button appears on the screen. Trying to warn everyone as a closed road is currently showing as roadworks/closed lane.

Your new app is BAD. THE “plan a drive” is buried, there still isn’t an easy way to add a stop. I’ve quit using Waze as my regular map.
Make the app ACCURATE, and easy to use, plan a drive, change starting location, correct lanes to be in.- NO, I can’t “ stay in the HOV lane” , and exit the freeway at the same time!
I can’t be in the leftmost turn lane, and exit right to the freeway!
I’d like it to be easy to use-change start location, add a stop, maybe even help me route a drive- which stop in which order ( start and stop location, with 2-3 stops on the way)1 vote -
Suggested driving speed based on traffic
Based on current driving conditions, the app would let you know how fast you should be going to keep traffic moving (i.e., if it was heavy traffic the app would recommend a speed of 10mph vs. moderate traffic with a recommended speed of 35mph). The feature would also suggest a lane you should be driving in, based on GPS speed, so drivers who prefer to go at a modest highway speed are in the middle or right lanes.

Slowpoke Driver
Include under the Hazard option "Slowpoke Driver in Speed/Passing Lane Traveling Under 60 mph" to alert other drivers like me who find this a daily nuisance as it adds to the traffic problem driving in Los Angeles freeways

Make Waze a perfect navigation system
It definitely needs lane guidance (even google maps which technically is not a navigation system has lane guidance)
When you search for POI it should tell you how far (distance and time) off rout the POI is from your rout. (again google maps does that.)
Wase has problem with long distance. I travel a lot from Somerset NJ to Toronto Canada, and always have to wait at least half an hour for Wase to start working aside from several times crashing and not being able to do anything with phone because it crashes. This might be due to large amount…

You could also show dimension 3 in a lane at the bottom of the screen, that is, whether the road will go up or down in front of the car.

Map icon indicator showing destination is on the left side or right side
When approaching your destination, there needs to be a Left side or Right side indicator icon on the map. I live in a city where there's a 3-4 lane one-way road and is frustrating when I'm approaching my destination and it doesn't tell me if it's going to be on the left side or right side. I don't use the map voice so that's not an option. Please do not tell me this feature exists when it doesn't.
