  1. Carpool/HOV lane detection

    Give us the option to comletely disable Carpool/HOV lane detection.

    For two years now the app keeps telling me to leave the carpool lane every 1 to 2 miles, even when I am not in the carpool lane. Please give us an option to completely disable the lane detection so I can enter or exit it whenever I want to.

  2. lane guidance

    Dear Waze Team,

    Good day, I am a user based in Malaysia. I have been using Waze as my primary navigation tool for many years and truly appreciate the innovation and convenience it provides. However, after years of usage, I have noticed a main feature where improvements could be made.

    Before Waze became my go-to navigation app, I used PAPAGO GPS. One standout feature in PAPAGO was its lane guidance system. Upon approaching an exit, a pop-out window would display an image of the specific junction with arrows clearly indicating the correct lane to take. This visual aid was particularly…

  3. Lane guidance colour

    The current lane guidance in Android Auto is shown such that the 1st line shows the upcoming lanes to take, and the 2nd line shows the next (i.e. then) guidance. Instead of taking up two lines, which takes up space, colour the most appropriate lane (s) in a different colour (green), and the least best lane in another colour (amber). For eg, if the upcoming highway exit is 3 lanes to the right, but the final edit is only the right most lane, colour the 3 arrows such that the right most is green, and the two…

    Love the new voice input. Can you please add a more specific option for lane closure/accident? For example, "accident in left lane".

  6. Separate lane sign for public transport

    Waze is far long ago navigates with public transport lanes, but still there is no public transport sign in lane editor on the junctions, so it is impossible to place the lane signs on junctions like in the pic. below correctly

    I suggest to add additional PT lane sign like this, that will solve the navigation problem and will correctly show the location of PT sign

    Great news! Lane guidance feature is now available in Waze. Install the latest app version to check it out.

  8. Better lane guidance

    Better lane guidance would be a big help. I’m coming from Google Maps. I would get notified at more than a mile when to get into a lane before a turn and how far over I need to be. So 1 mile to 2 miles out would be good especially on the expressway when traveling at higher rates of speed. If the notification became more frequent the closer you got to An exit or to a turn that would be a help as well

  9. Blocked lane(s) selection

    When a user selects to report a hazard on the road with either a stopped vehicle or object on road, display a view of that road’s lanes so they can select the lane(s) that are blocked for drivers approaching to prepare.

  10. User coud select correct lane

    In my country (Brazil), there are many places with Express & Local lanes running side by side.

    In that case when Waze makes the route and the traffic changes quickly, I decide to choose a different lane (for exemple express instead of local), I wanted to be able to "touch" the screen and select the correct lane, so Waze could re-route and show me the rights options to continue my route.

  11. Lane suggestions

    Recently went on a road trip where google maps told me what lane to be in when I was exiting the highway but Waze just said exit.

    My understanding is that Waze determines if the situation necessitates telling you what lane to be in but shoes it visually.

    I personally use a voice navigation system so I don't HAVE TO LOOK at a screen while navigating through traffic. This is especially important in places I am unfamiliar with. It might be easy for locals to know to go directly left, and your data might show that most cars go directly…

  14. High occupancy lane

    Waze prompts drivers to leave a high occupancy car lane. The app should ask if you have more than 1 person in the car.

  15. Tagging the lane of an accident

    It would be nice for users to have the ability to tag what lane(s) an accident is in when they report an accident. Often users add this information in comments, but that takes time and becomes hazardous to look through as you're driving.

  16. Report Blocked Lane by Voice

    It would be an amazing addition to be able to say "Hey Google, Report Left/Center/Right Lane Blocked" rather than needing to use the on-screen controls as it poses a safety hazard.

    I feel as if that would entice users to use the feature more; it's a very beneficial tool to have, allowing you to prepare for the lane chance before it's too late.
    That may also help with traffic congestion when everyone is trying to merge into a single lane on interstates.

  17. Report blocked lane

    Right now on Apple car play when you report a blocked lane. It’s left, right and center. I would always have to carefully read which one I tap while driving.

    I think have left, center and right would be easier to tap around

  19. 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.
