Show visual instructions for "View Only"
For a View Only instruction, only a "Continue" instruction is currently shown in the app along with the lanes. It should also show visual instructions that are set by editors in the WME Turn Instructions panel.

Report single lane stopped traffic on motorway
Sometimes there is a build-up of traffic in lane 1 of the motorway when approaching a junction, due to issues off of the motorway - causing cars to slam on their brakes and sometimes even causing accidents - while lanes 2 and 3 remain free-flowing.
Please allow a way of reporting single lane stopped traffic, or "exit-lane spillover" traffic (not sure how it should be worded).

There is an "avoid freeways" option, however no "freeway promiscuous" option (or a simple slider bar).
Some people prefer to avoid highways, however I (and presumably others) prefer them (even congested ones). There ought to be fine positive and negative control (a slider bar?) over this metric, I often find Waze taking me through intersections etc rather than simply entering the highway.

HOV Lane Exit Notifications at Every HOV exit
When using a route with an HOV Lane, Waze defaults to telling the driver to exit the HOV Lane at every HOV Lane Exit on the route, even though the HOV Lane is available on the entire route.
The driver should only be alerted to exit the HOV Lane if it's the exit they need to take because there is no HOV off-ramp, or there is an issue in the HOV Lane ahead of them.The exit notifications have caused me to miss a freeway transition roads since Waze doesn't want anyone using the HOV Lanes.

Please include tunnel closures in your map feature so routes will avoid them in Singapore
There are many tunnels closure in Singapore in the middle of the night. Would be helpful for drivers if we get routes that avoid them

Add M6 toll mobility exemption to the list of toll passes
This will make it easier to pick a route for those who have it as Waze will not have to do the cost benefit analysis. This will also mean that we would not have to check the route just before that junction to see which is faster.

Suggestion for New Waze Feature - Avoid Bad Roads
Hey Waze Community,
I've got an idea for a feature that could make our driving experience even better, especially for those of us dealing with bumpy roads in the north.
How about a "Avoid Bad Roads" option on Waze? Our roads often get rough due to changing seasons, and it takes a while for the city to fix them. With Google's advanced sensing capabilities, why not use that data to detect road conditions like bumps and potholes?
This feature could help us choose routes that prioritize smoother rides. Additionally, we could have a city-specific ranking system highlighting the worst…
1 voteGreat thinking! The issue you raised has been addressed in a recent redesign. Hope you like it!

"Change of Lane" Transparent Buttons while navigating.
Sometimes while navigating, Waze suggests to change from the central lanes, to the low speed lanes, and sometimes we don't follow that suggestion (for different reasons) but still Waze thinks we did, therefore if we send a report then it would be in the wrong lane.
I suggest to place 2 transparent buttons (left and right) for a quick change of lane according in the direction we are travelling, this would be also helpful if we are using a "first level" road when Waze things we are on the "second level".

Clean Special Fuel Vehicle HOV Access
In Virginia they offer Clean Special Fuel Vehicle license plates for vehicles to access to only certain HOV lanes. For example, I cannot use I-95 EZ Pass for free unless I have 3+ people, but I can use the Dulles Toll Road and a few others that meet the criteria for the IRS for Clean Special Fuel Vehicles.
We need an option to put in the type of playe/access that will route away from tolls, but allow us to use the HOV lanes where it is free. I'm sure this is similar in other states and places.

State by state Laws
When crossing state lines, the app would alert you to state laws regarding cell phone/texting, wipers/headlights, toll transponder reciprocity, etc. We discovered the hard way (toll + fine) that Florida does not accept payment from any other states transponder.

Streamline CarPlay display
I totally appreciate turning off the ability to add comments to traffic reports while on CarPlay. But if they're not going to expand so I can read something someone's already commented, can those green bubbles stay off the map?
For accidents and road work, it would be nice to be able to see which lanes are closed (if any) to avoid merging at the last minute.

Utilise Waze's live traffic data to manage traffic flow for an entire city
Utilise Waze's live traffic data to manage traffic flow for an entire city by interfacing with traffic control systems, like lights and lanes, and charge local governments for the increased productivity.

Bicycle navigation and bike routes for waze!!! Please!!
Can you please add bicycle routes to the app and ways to avoid roads that go over a certain speed limit? The option to set your vehicle as a bicycle and find routes like that avoid high speed roads and roads that dont allow bikes conbined with all of the other great functions of the app will be fantastic...
But since you don't have the feature so many bicyclists won't get to navigate with your app and get the same benefits that car drivers have... I really need a navigator for bikers that shows the speed limits of the roads…

Cars with caravans
Could you do routes for cars and caravans. This should take into account the extra width and the difficulty in reversing along country lanes if you meet an oncoming vehicle

Google results be suppressed when a Waze place exists to avoid confusion.
Someone at Waze has been helping me with an issue on an incorrect Google address. He recommended that when Waze has the information correct, that the Google results be suppressed when a Waze place exists. This is a great idea to avoid confusion when the Google location is wrong and has not yet been corrected.

Lane Guidance
While using Waze on highways lately, I have begun to think that having the ability to see what lane becomes the off ramp would be great, especially in complex city interchanges.
Portuguese: Estava usando o Waze em rodovias e comecei a pensar que seria ótimo ter a capacidade de ver qual pista pegar, especialmente em trevos complexos dentro das cidades.
Spanish: Últimamente me he dado cuenta que al utilizar waze en capitales se hace muy necesario que waze indique cual carril de una calle, avenida o autopista, llega a ser una rampa, especialmente en complejos intercambios.

One Lane Bridge Alerts
It would be great to have a warning when approaching a one lane bridge, given that it's an important time to slow down and be prepared to stop. By one lane bridge, I mean a bridge with one lane that is shared be the traffic going in either direction (https://www.nzta.govt.nz/roadcode/general-road-code/road-code/about-driving/giving-way/giving-way-on-one-lane-bridges/).
Generally one direction gets the right of way, so it would also be handy to have that included in the warning.
