voice direction is confusing when changing lanes
Sometimes i turn in the wrong street cause the change lane and the turn directions are identical.

Traffic lanes speed.
It would be useful to add this feature back to the Waze app because the speed of traffic segments is useful, so that we drivers can understand how intense the traffic is on certain sections of the road. But it should be estimated in both Km and in miles.

HOV depending on people in car
As you plan a trip, if there are HOV lanes, the app should ask how many people are in the car so that you can be directed to HOV lanes if you pass the requirements for those lanes. Thx :)

add an option for Alternative fuel vehicles to be routed to HOV and HOT lanes since they are exempt
In the state of Georgia Alternative fuel vehicles are permanently exempt from HOV and HOT lane restrictions and as such they are a good option but waze has no way to know we electric folks are using HOV and HOT lane.

Avoid a specific road or place as a one-off when planning a route
I know we've had posts from people wanting to a avoid a particular road they never want to use in the past but what about a one off option to avoid one during the planning phase?
I needed to navigate at the weekend and had been informed a few hours before of a road closure on the most ideal route, Waze didn't know about this and obviously I can't report it until I'm there, so I wanted to avoid a particular location and have Waze route me around it.
I was sure there was an "avoiding" option during…

An option to avoid minor / tertiary/ un named roads
Can we please have an option for routing not using minor roads. These are often narrow, unsurfaced, roads, dangerous tootor cyclists, risking damage to cars and larger vehicles. GPS nav should assist, not cause undue stress.

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
After this UPDATE, if we are on a highway with 2, 3 or more…8 votes -
As a UBER , and LYFT driver , we need a button to push to let the app know we have passengers , and it will direct us to HOV lanes , ramps
A button we can push , to let the app know we have passengers , and it will direct us to the on , and off ramps , and HOV lanes ( High Occupancy Vehicle )
1 voteThank 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.

For multiple turns that are close to each other, only highlight the left or right lane that is needed for that turn
Waze highlights which lane(s) to be in for turns, which is extremely helpful. However, multiple lanes may be highlighted when a turn or ramp requiring a specific lane is coming very soon. For heavy traffic, changing lanes last-minute can be unsafe, inconvenient, and/or almost impossible. Highlighting the one lane that makes an upcoming turn easiest would be a very valuable addition.

Carpool
It would be great to be able to tell the app that we are a carpool and get adjusted travel time predictions and routes maximizing use of HOV lanes when beneficial

List Routes that avoid freeways as an regular option especially if it faster
There should an automatic option for routes to at avoids freeways as the ones that use highways/ freeways. Sometimes due to traffic, the route that avoid freeways is the faster route. Currently in order to request that I have to click avoids and the again click on other option to pick avoid freeways. Ideal would be an automatic route that notes ( avoids freeways). If you are unable to have that option pop up as one of the route options ( which other GPS sites offer) then at least place the option to Avoid freeways in the…

Give the option on "Avoid Freeways" to be temporary for just the next trip
I only have one place that I go where I want to avoid freeways, so once I turn it on, I have to remember to turn it off after I get back home, which I usually forget. Maybe have the option to be on or temporary on.

Adding report options "Oil Trace" and "Lane Closed" for Germany
I've seen that in Hungary there's the option to report at least a Closed Lane. This is also relevant for Germany. For example a closed lane on a relatively well known route of a driver could be dangerous. He's expecting a certain amount of lanes but doesn't know the newest conditions on road.
So please enable this option for drivers in Germany.The "Oil Trace" report could be helpful as well. Often such reports are mentioned in the radio. It would be a step forward to more safety in Germany and the rest of the world to add this kind…

Rettungsgasse / Rescue Lane - Reminder while traffic jams
In Germany and most European countries, you are supposed to form a rescue lane whilst being in a traffic jam on a highway/Autobahn.
This emergency corridor is always between the very left lane and the one next to her, so all cars need to move to the very left / very right on those lanes, making enough space to let emergency vehicles through.
After several incidents where people died after emergency services being stuck in the traffic jam, the German government wants to increase the sentence on ppl not making space for the rescue lane.My Suggestion:

Avoid Following a School Bus
It is always painful for drivers to catch and then follow a school bus for all its stops. Especially in cities, where it can result into big traffic jams. Can Waze partner with the school districts to provide live GPS data of school buses? It will be very beneficial if Waze can alert drivers about a school bus on their route, and give them an option to detour. This will save lots of time for drivers, and make it safer for the school buses because of less traffic.

Tracking stop signs and stop lights
In addition to "Difficult intersection" it would be very handy for two features:
1) Waze's map to record if there are stop signs (2, 4 way), and lights at an intersection. This would (hopefully) include separate turn signals; some intersections are VERY difficult to turn left at even with a light, for example.2) A setting for navigation (in the app) for "Avoid unguarded turns/intersections". This would then allow a driver to NOT have to turn left across 6 lanes of traffic, for example, as the app would know there was no light at that crossing (or even going…
