Express Lanes - Avoid Express Lanes option
A nice feature would be a setting to avoid Express Lanes, like the ones on I95 (I-95) that require the EZ-Pass. Currently the only way to do this is to enable "Avoid Toll Roads." However this makes my route avoid the tunnel or bridge that I DO want to use. Avoiding the tunnel or bridge would add 20 or more minutes to my drive.
Basically, separate out the luxury Express Lanes from toll roads and create another setting for them.
Thank you.49 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.

Routing overview
I would like a routing overview option to easily access when driving for two reason:
1: For longer routes to see were I am in the country.
2: For shorter routes to have an overview of the traffic situations.This option could be a button directly on the map, maybe as an option to turn on/off from Settings or as an option in the pop up window where the mute, stop navigation, navigation list and recalculate route are.
49 votesPossibilities:
- check next turns list by clicking on the directions panel on the top, select ‘next turns’ tab
- check reports on the route by clicking on the directions panel on the top, select ‘reports ahead’ tab
- check map view of your route by clicking on ETA bar at the bottom, select ‘Routes’ and then ‘map view’ -
Be able to dismiss the traffic alert when traffic is gone
It happens often to drive through roads where traffic alerts have been reported but gone at the time of driving there. It would be useful to be able to dismiss the traffic reports

Add divided street option
Waze doesn't differentiate when a street has a median that blocks the ability to get to a destination. Add another option similar to elevation or direction but that requires Waze to navigate to the other driving direction for the street. This would allow editors to update Waze streets without having to split them for the same functionality.

Tell us WHY Waze can't find a route
Today I was in Virginia and starting a drive to Northampton, MA. Waze told me that it couldn't find a route. In fact, it couldn't find a route to Boston, or New Haven, or anywhere else north of NY, NY. (It can find a route to NY, NY). I'd like to know why. I tried multiple phones.
When things like this happens, Waze should say WHY it can't find a route.

toll estimator
today while driving I was given a choice of three routes, all of which had tolls. It would be great if there was an estimate on how much the total tolls would be for each route since I know from personal experience that one of the routes given had substantially lower tolls and only added two minutes to the trip
18 votesThank you for your suggestion! As you may know, Waze calculates and displays toll prices in many parts of the world. To know when this becomes available in your country, stay tuned on Waze’s social pages on Facebook and Instagram

carpool
Turn carpool notice OFF !! Retired and drive by myself almost every day. I don't need the Carpool suggestion coming on every time I drive. Really dangerous when using Waze at night and that pops up. It covers my screen and have to tap it to get back to map.
21 votesChanging this to Not Planned, as it doesn't fit on our roadmap in the near future. We'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

ETA on Carplay
Hi Waze team, any chance you can add a button to share an ETA on the Carplay layout? Current this can’t be done whilst driving.

Easily change fuel type when searching for gas stations
I have 2 cars, one petrol and one diesel, and changing the fuel from one car to another is too complicated when driving, so I end up looking for the gas station with the best petrol price even when I'm driving the diesel car, and maybe that gas station does not have a good price for diesel.

Auto turn screen on/off
When driving by directions, it would be great if Waze could turn off the screen when there is more than a specified distance to the next turn, and turn the screen on again when I'm within the specified distance.
We should have the option to set the specified distance to 500m, 1km, 2km, 5km and 10km.
It would also be nice to have an option to set the screen to turn on for 30 seconds or so if a report within our event radio comes in.

Make speed limit larger on apple carplay
I have read the responses to this issue. It seems to be a bot responding as:
Thank you for your suggestion! As you may know, Waze already displays a speedometer, including both your driving speed and the speed limit for the road you’re currently on.
That is NOT the issue. Just remove the speedometer and make the speed limit LARGER. Like it appears on Google Maps, which owns Waze.

I would like to add erratic driver to the hazards. Someone who is driving too fast/weaving in out.
I think we need erratic driver on the hazard list. i.e. weaving, speeding, texting. So that other drivers may get out of the way.

On commute mute turn by turn direction BUT announce incidents (accidents, caps, speed camera. Etc.)
If you drive the same route every day (as many people do ) you will not need to hear the turn by turn direction but do need advance warning of incidents ie: cop ahead, slow down in traffic, speed camera ahead etc. right now the only option is all or nothing in the (Setting-sound- navigate guidance) menu. it would also limit the number of times Waze interrupts on ongoing phone call. Thus making app even. MORE DESIRABLE!

I would like the app to display speed limits as I drive.
I would like the map navigation to display the speed limit as I drive.
Warning sounds if I exceed limits.
Also the ability to customize how much over the speed limit the warning should sound.
Also, to see the sky into top foreground as it would appear according to earths rotation.1 vote -
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.

PLEASE limit the number of fog alerts! I can SEE that it's foggy...I don't need to be alerted it's foggy EVERY minute on my hour drive!
PLEASE limit the number of fog alerts! I can SEE that it's foggy...I don't need to be alerted it's foggy at all let alone EVERY minute on my hour long commute to work! It was SO annoying...literally every minute I was getting the "warning fog reported ahead" over and over and over. Ideally, get rid of the fog alert option altogether so there are none at all! If it's foggy enough to be alerted about it 0.4 miles away, it's already foggy where you're driving! Fog spreads out!

I would like Waze to show me the recommended speed to avoid multiple stops while in slow moving traffic jam
Especially when driving regular gear cars, you prefer to drive slowly but steady, rather than stopping and accelerating consistently. This is also favorable in fuel consumption manners. In the long run, if a lot of users will obey this feature it could consequently help to promote the traffic congestion by preventing multiple stops, and improve the traffic flow.
