Bericht sturen om een veiligheidsweg te maken als je in de file staat
Hey,
In een aantal landen is het verplicht om bij een file op de autosnelweg een ´safety lane´ vrij te maken door resp uiterst rechts en uiterst links van je rijvak te gaan rijden.
Maar in Belgie zijn chauffeurs dit nog niet gewoon. Is het geen idee om op het moment dat een chauffeur stil komt te staan in de file een bericht te sturen om hem hieraan te herinneren.3 votes -
For local distance use blocks instead of feet/miles
Please give directions like humans, not a robot. If an upcoming turn is 2 blocks ahead, that is what a human would say . . . not 500 feet ahead.
When on a highway, telling me that an exit is 1/2 mile ahead is fine.
However, when on local streets (even 4 lane local roads) pease at least offer me the option of telling me how many blocks ahead the turn is.1 vote -
Make Map Chats readable on Android Auto and CarPlay
Map Chats often contain useful information on lane closures or other hazards, but while their icons show up on the car's nav screen when using CarPlay or Android Auto, they can't be tapped on or read.
It is far more hazardous for me to unplug my phone, open the Waze app, and read the Map Chat than it would be to simply glance at my dash nav and tap the chat - you could even have the phone's TTS read it out while displaying it, then give the option to give it a thumbs-up.

Need to distinguish between HOV and Express/HOT/Toll lanes
Maybe this is California specific, but we have both HOV lanes, which require 2+ passengers but have no toll required, and then we have Express Lanes, which are toll lanes that you can drive in regardless of number of passengers, but do require a toll (paid for via a transponder - Fastrak in CA).
I drive by myself so I cannot use the HOV lanes, but I do have a Fastrak transponder so I can use the Express lanes. But if I tell Waze that I have Fastrak, it automatically also routes me on the…

Allow Preference for Open Road Tolling (no more "Exit Cash Lanes" directions)
I'm getting very tired of being told to "Exit to Cash Lanes" only to be navigated right back onto the same tollway. Best I can figure, Waze is trying to avoid you getting a ticket for driving through open road tolling areas (at least here in northern Illinois on I-294) by telling you to exit to cash lanes, but there should be an option to tell Waze you have a transponder and are good to go for open road tolling (and the app will stop telling you to exit at every open road tolling area).
The problem with…

Type of Route Options Preference settings
I frequently drive a route that gives me the option of taking a toll road or driving on the non-toll route or taking streets - but when I look at the routes available to me, I am not able to compare the time savings of taking the toll road vs the non toll version of the road. I am only able to see toll road, or a street option, or an alternate freeway option. I would really like to be able to see the difference in commute time if I jump in the HOT lane vs not paying toll and…

Add back the ability to simply tap at the top to see a direction list
In the latest release, the ability to tap at the top (where the next turn is) and see the direction list is no longer there. This is the only reason that I used Waze over other tools is that it allowed me to quickly see a list of directions. The use case for this is that if I'm turning left, I also need to know what the next turn is so I can get in the correct turning lane. If this is not added back, I will have no reason to use Waze.

Toll Transponder Preferences (for Exclusive Exits & Lanes)
In Pennsylvania (and other states, such as Florida) there are exits on toll roads that are only for holders of a certain toll transponder (such as E-ZPass) and have no cash facilities. Unlike all-electronic toll roads, using one of these ramps without a transponder is a "violation". There are also HOT (High Occupancy Toll) and Express lanes that require a transponder but may even allow for special transponders that give free rides to carpools.
Waze used to direct me to one of these ramps, which is closest to my house. However, likely because people without toll tags have been…

Wait times for metered on ramps
When On ramps are metered there can develop a very long queue to enter a freeway this should be considered in route calculations, but it doesn't seem to be. The navigation has you turning on to a street that had an on ramp to a freeway that is backed up several blocks beyond where you made your turn onto the street. The result is you cannot merge into the lane that allows you access to the on ramp.

Please remove from your street listing Canada Road, between Woodside Road and I280 in Woodside, CA 94062, not appropriate for commuters
Please remove from your street listing Canada Road, between Woodside Road and I280 in Woodside, CA 94062, this two lane country road is not appropriate for commuters. It has not stop lights, and only two stop signs. Long lines of cars block up this street during evening commute hours.

For turn notification, should state "Turn left in [300] meters, at the following junction" instead of "Turn left in [300] meters" only
Very often, i make the turn too early because the voice command said to turn left in *** meters and i saw a traffic junction coming up and lined up in the wrong lane when actually i should have continued straight and turned left at the following junction instead

Problem with Waze directions.
People are trespassing on my property saying Waze is directing them there, They are trying to get to trails in Horsepen Run in Sterling VA.20165 The only access is to turn North at the Algonkian Parkway and Westmoreland Drive intersection. There is no public access permitted on Askegren's Lane. It is my private driveway. Thanks

Add road closures that happen at specific times
For example, there’s a road on one of my regular routes that is currently undergoing construction and it’s a 2 lane highway so in order to work on it properly without traffic interference, they close the road between the hours of 10pm-5am Mon-fri. I noticed there is no option to report closures with a specific time frame which kind of sucks. I think it would be beneficial to add this feature as I know of quite a few other roads or ramps that close only at specific times.

Landscapes near you and you did not know about their existence
On an excursion in Europe between Germany and Austria and Switzerland, we reached our destination, like any destination. But it is also important to enjoy the road and breathtaking scenery. Sometimes it's worth stopping for a moment .. (That's how the idea came about)
Sharing landscape photos (located on / near the route I'm going through) of users will help those who do not know the area, reach the landscape that is on my route. Stop for a moment and watch from the vehicle and then continue on a trip
It will be possible to operate it as a feature…

TAKE OUT POLICE REPORTED AHEAD.
Police reports makes the drivers alert at that short particular moment. Especially those inconsiderate drivers who drives near the divider fast and cut in to the other lane opposite to what they used to speed forward. This MAKES THE JAM WORSE! INCONSIDERATE DRIVERS SHOULD BE PUNISHED SO THAT THEY LEARN.

A way for Waze to distinguish between travel in express lanes or regular lanes on I-90 (Kennedy Expressway) and similar Chicago area roads.
I would like to see a way for Waze to distinguish between travel in express lanes or regular lanes on I-90 (Kennedy Expressway) and similar Chicago area roads. These are not HOV or toll lanes. Waze will often route me to the express lanes, but the line to enter the lanes negates any benefit, so I bypass and take the regular lanes. Waze, however, thinks I'm in the express lanes, causing navigation errors and headaches. Otherwise, I'm very happy with Waze. Thanks.

Entrance to GWB from Riverside Dr South in NYC, dangerous directions.
This entrance puts you in the left lanes of 6 lanes of ferocious traffic. Waze always recommends the Lower Level, which is the rightmost 2 lanes, and would require crossing several lanes of traffic in a very short distance - very dangerous. Waze should recommend the Upper Level which is directly ahead and requires no lane change. People not familiar with the area may attempt to follow the Lower Level directions which would lead to hazardous driving.
