We visited Miami and were directed by the Waze app to use the I-95 Express Lane.
Unfortunately, we didn't have the required subscription so we were issued a $28 ticket.

Possibility to tick an avoid country lanes box
Overview routes are only general. A button to tick "Avoid country lanes/no name lanes) would be so useful to not go in circles, trying to find a better route towards a location. It's not always possible to avoid country lanes, but most of the times/most of the route can be at least on B roads.

Misuse of comment section on accidents
I see some inappropriate comments in the comment section like “please die moron” or even posting small adds to peoples business. Dont think this is the intended use of the comment box, everyone makes mistake sometimes, very sad to see these comments. Actually don’t think the comment box is particularly helpful in any way, even if we know lane 1 or lane 2 can’t escape the jam. Also promotes driving and typing. How else would they add comment? Literally not safe. Suggest to remove comment function, screen the comments, or given warning to the users that recurrently give inappropriate comments.…

Improve route guidance
Please take your time to analize these factors;
Waze, everytime you release a new update, it doesn’t alway fix or updates one of the most important thing, which is the routing itself, another word;
Waze does not always end the route where it needs to be (it ends somewhere close),
When it comes to apartments complexes, it takes you most of the time through the exit gate instead of the main gain (just because it seeing the final address as closer to the exit, I get it but it it’s not correct),
The “fastest route” it’s not alway the safer…1 voteThanks for reaching out.

Incline or decline alert
When approaching a significant incline or decline it would be great to get an alert. Sometimes you can be driving along a country lane at 60mph and suddenly there is a crest of a hill and a step decline with no warning. Very dangerous

Popup
Hazards and speed camera pop-ups are blocking/obscuring the lane guidance in Android Auto. Please redesign and make it smaller or move it somewhere else. It's dangerous as drivers have to keep dismissing and closing the dialogue pop-up

Alert popup windows cover vital information
On android auto, the alert popup windows cover vital information such as time to reach destination and which lane to pick at the next crossroad. This is very annoying and potentionaly dangerous.
This does not happen on the phone display, even thought it is much smaller then the cars display.Could this be fixed so that the popup window would not cover other informations?
Thank you

CA HOV lanes
On some roads in CA 2+ can used HOV lanes for free. Allow an easy method to override avoid toll lanes. I know that I can uncheck avoid toll lanes in settings but don't want to chance forgetting to recheck avoid toll lanes after using HOV lanes when in carpoiol status.

I-4 Ultimate Express Lanes
The new express lanes on I-4 through Orlando, aka I-4 Ultimate, are finally finished. While they physically show up on the Waze map display, they're never recognized as roads whenever anyone drives on them and it just freaks out thinking I am either on the normal I-4 lanes or somewhere off route. They also are never offered as routes and no doubt save a ton of time when the downtown Orlando traffic is backed up.

When a user approaches a collision, they should be able to report which direction they had to shift to. i.e Alert to merge left
When sitting in a traffic jam due to accidents or construction, users should be able to report which way (lane) to shift to so other users behind them can prepare to merge sooner and ease some congestion. Similar to reporting a vehicle on shoulder.

text reminder to pay toll
It would be nice to have a text sent when I drive on a toll road/toll lane to remind me to pay the toll. I am often not familiar with which highways are toll roads or the ones that have toll lanes. The later is the most unclear.
1 voteThanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

Adding a work area as a contractor
When we are going to be working on a main road it would be nice to have the option to go on Waze to let everybody know where the work area will be what kind of work is being done, and to be able to alert drivers what Lane will be closed and so on . It will also keep the workers safe as well as keeping traffic flowing and avoiding accidents

Street names covering the turn on the road
When the car needs to turn, the street name goes over the turning or corner line. You then can't see which turning you need to take if multiple roads you could turn down or a lane to get into. This is since an update early in 2025

UPDATE SECTION: Warning on the route
Currently, if we are on a highway with 2, 3 or more strips per sense, and an accident is reported, although the road is crowded, we do not know which band to fall in to avoid the accident.
After the warning buttons like: accident, hole, works, etc
Show the selection of the band on which the warning is placed
Let's have options, three lanes.
This will help us whether we are on a road with a band, or that we are on a 5-lane highway

Add a check box for the number of people in the car and determine when to avoid HOV HOT (High Occupancy Toll) lanes and when to use them
HOV and HOT Lanes
23 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.

Public or private events
Please add the option to set a public event (with proof of its occurrence) to allow people to avoid routes that may be congested because of the event such as a farmers market. This would help a lot of people as the traffic option usually doesn’t last too long meanwhile events can last the entire day, blocking roads or decreasing lane sizes, forcing a merge.

on my iphone I can see the option to add 'closure' however on my car screen, this option is not available
Why does the screen not copy to my car screen? 2 x recently I have encountered this issue, one was when a road was completely closed for 24 hours due to a thatched cottage being on fire and 80 firefighters across the road - the app only showed 1 lane closed so clearly other drivers encounter this issue, and yesterday in central Milton Keynes a road was closed but the app screen on my car only showed 1 lane closed. Please review the system to mirror mobile phones to systems in cars to prevent delays and traffic hold-ups as drivers…
