Differentiate between HOV(High Occupancy Vehicle) and an HOT (High Occupancy Toll) lanes.
In metropolitan Atlanta, the Georgia D.O.T. has been transforming HOV lanes to HOT Toll lanes, which will cause you to face a traffic ticket in the mail for $150, if you do not have a valid Georgia Peach (Toll paying) Pass, or a similar pass from select other states. The State of Georgia has plans to expand the program in other metropolitan regions as well as other freeways in the Atlanta region. The ability to alert drivers that the HOV Lane ends and a TOLL Lane is replacing it ahead is an important piece of information.

Add option to avoid toll roads in certain countries
If a route spans across multiple countries, it would be nice to be able to tell Waze that I would like to avoid tolls in specific countries. For example if my route goes via three countries, I would like to avoid toll roads in Country 2 only, but still use them in Country 1 and Country 3.

Take one toll on route but avoid another
If there is more than one toll on a route, I would appreciate if we were able to select that we want to take one toll but avoid another.
Eg. I have two tolls on my way to work, one is $5 and saves me 15 min, the other is $6 and only saves me 5 min, so I want the route to take me through the first toll and avoid the second.
Right now Waze will only let me either take tolls or none at all

tolls
There is a difference between express lane tolls and bridge tolls. Can you separate the two when it comes to avoiding tolls. If you set it to avoid tolls, it will avoid both express lane and bridge tolls. If you need to drive across a bridge, it will send you many, many miles around to avoid the bridge toll, when you really only want to avoid the express lane tolls.

Conditional use of toll roads if saves more than set percentage of time
I live in Northern Virginia (US) where we have a growing network of high occupancy toll (HOT) lanes paralleling existing roads. These come up as separate roads in Waze as they have their own on ramps and off ramps. Just to make them more fun, they have variable tolling so when traffic is more congested on the "free" lanes the toll lanes cost goes higher. The speed limit is also higher on the toll lanes so they always come out as preferred over the regular lanes for navigation.
The current Waze app allows selection to avoid or not avoid…

Exit express lane
Waze should tell when to exit express lane in order to have enough time to get to road exit. Your directions give highway exit number but don’t say when to leave express in time to cross several lanes to exit highway.

Content of "Toll passes & exemptions" should be IGNORED when "Avoid Toll roads" is UNCHECKED.
When the option "Avoid toll roads" is UNCHECKED, the content of the section "Toll passes & exemptions" should NOT be taken into account.
Currently,
WHEN "Avoid toll roads" is UNCHECKED,
IF I'm in a country which requires a highway pass AND I don't specifically mark that pass in the "Toll passes & exemptions",
THEN waze will keep me OFF the highways in that country.This is counter-intuitive, it can cause you to not know why you're constantly being routed OFF the highways, especially if you're not going abroad frequently and you're not aware of this feature.

"Prefer Freeways" instead of "Avoid Tolls"
Currently, you can set Waze to 'avoid tolls' which is handy - but this prevents Waze from recommending tollways when there is traffic on the freeway. For example, in Dallas we have 635 and 635 Express. Both follow the exact same path, the only difference is the express lanes cost around $5. It would be very nice if Waze would prefer the freeway, but still recommend the tollway if there is significant traffic reported on the freeway.
Also, Waze seems to have trouble telling if I am on the freeway or tollway, since they…

Avoid specific tolls
Can you make it possible to avoid specific roads (specifically tolls)
Let's say I'm in Indiana heading to Chicago. I want to get on the toll road in Indiana, but get off before the Chicago Skyway because it's more expensive.
Can you make it so I can still have it take me on the toll road in Indiana, but take me off before the skyway?9 votes -
Option to avoid country lanes in UK.
They are annoying to me and rarely Eta gets amended when I avoid them.
An option to avoid them would make me actually use Waze again.

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.

Toll roads
When entering in a destination, please put the toll roads option there instead of in the settings. I am a driver in New York City. All day long, I would need to go into settings and check/uncheck toll roads. When I drive a passenger, of course, all the toll roads are taken, but when returning, I avoid as much as possible. Please change the tolls feature to somewhere when entering in the destination. Thank you
106 votesHey,
Please note we're changing the status of this suggestion to Not right now, since we finalized our plans for 2023 and this idea won't be implemented this year.
We hope to have it included in our plans for later years and will keep you posted.
Thanks! -
Toll
I wish that there was a better way to handle toll roads. I live in an area surrounded by toll roads. It is cost prohibitive to use them all of the time. It is critically necessary to use them at other times. Unfortunately, you can have either of these situations several times in a single day. It is impractical to change the setting to avoid toll roads multiple times in a day. In my mind the best solution would be for us to have a user setting that determines when tollroads would be used. For example, if the routing…

When approaching each HOT lane entry point tell me how much time I'll save by paying the toll, even if no time savings
In areas with parallel, optional toll/express lanes like Northern VA -
At EACH HOT(High Occupancy Toll)/Express lane entry point tell me how much time I will save by choosing the toll lane, even if that time is 0 or negative.
Ex. "Approaching entrance to a parallel Toll lane, at this time entering the toll lane is estimated to be 30 min faster than the regular lanes"
Ex. "Approaching entrance to a parallel Toll lane, at this time there is no time benefit to entering the toll lane."Currently I think maybe Waze is suggesting I…

Add "avoid border crossings" setting, just like avoid toll roads or ferries.
Navigating from New York to Detroit, there's a route that crosses through Canada. I didn't bring my passport and wish to avoid this, but if I manually force another route, I might miss out on traffic-responsive optimizations. It should be possible to avoid border crossings just like any other route preference.

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.

Add option to Avoid Tunnels
For various reasons drivers may wish to avoid tunnels when navigating. This should be an option along side with Avoid Highways and Avoid Toll Roads.
