Suggested driving speed based on traffic
Based on current driving conditions, the app would let you know how fast you should be going to keep traffic moving (i.e., if it was heavy traffic the app would recommend a speed of 10mph vs. moderate traffic with a recommended speed of 35mph). The feature would also suggest a lane you should be driving in, based on GPS speed, so drivers who prefer to go at a modest highway speed are in the middle or right lanes.

QEW hot pass
For Ontario you should add the QEW hot lane pass (HOV) as an option - I have a hot lane pass but it is only for use on QEW not 403 - therefore the choices to come into the office or on the way home are never correct as I have to choose HOV lane and then it assumes I can use all HOV lanes. Thank you.

Add ability to specify number of passengers so that App can determine whether to suggest taking High Occupancy Vechicle Lane on highways
Some highways have HOV Lanes that are intended for cars with 2+ occupants (i.e. Hwy 403, 404 Ontario Canada). In cases when person is travelling alone the App still suggests taking HOV lane because it does not know the number of occupants in the car.
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.

Alternative Route Calculation Appears to Disregard Options without Freeways
The Alternative Route Calculation Appears to Disregard Options without Freeways with avoid freeways turned off.
Hi, I’ve noticed on several occasions that when I look at “other routes” with “avoid freeways” turned off, the app will suggest only routes that use freeways, even though some of these have longer time estimates and longer distances than some options that appear with “avoid freeways” turned on.
For example when navigating from Detroit to Royal Oak (with avoid freeways off) I am given three options involving highways, one 23 minutes and the other two 28 minutes. With avoid freeways turned on,…

Avoiding Via
At first step, the purpose of this list (or menu) is:
Any user to create a list of roads, streets, etc. that will be avoided by them, either by holes (poor maintenance) or Unsafe (crime) preventing Waze of create routes for such via.In a second step, the policies and area managers (Waze) create risk zones with respect to crime.

Alert And/Or Settings/Navigation Option for Low Bridges
Low bridges (rail and road) are an issue throughout Westchester County, NY and over-height trucks frequently strike these bridges. Apparently on S Main (Rt 1) in Port Chester, Metro North is reporting a low bridge as an object in the road (for several months).
The problem here is, I would never consider a bridge as an 'object in road'. Rather, this alert distracts from looking at the low bridge warning signs. Drivers would pay attention to a permanent alert of a low bridge for this and other sites. Or for navigation by over-height vehicles, adding an option in settings/navigation to …68 votes -
Carplay settings
It would be nice to have access to the waze settings though apple carplay so that I can turn toll roads or other features on and off quickly as opposed to having use the phone app. Google already has this but I prefer using Waze so please work on this.

Allow us to click on reports on the map and select "avoid" or "route me there"
We should be able to click on a report that we see on the map, and select an option on the go. If it's something you definitely don't want to deal with (construction, ice, etc.) you can click "avoid this" and the map would update your route to take another road. Or in my case, I seek out and provide free roadside assistance to any disabled vehicles, so I would like to see stopped vehicle reports on the map and be able to click "route me there" or "add this as a stop to my trip" so I can…

In Brazil why in the waze, the highways have no speed limit, tax to use de road and values?
I´m a brazilian user of wase, some things i observe:
1- Why waze doesn't show speed limit road like the car speed?
2- Why toll location in the map don't have (local do pedágio)?
3- Why don't allow include/change the prices for use the road (toll price)?
4- Why points of emergency services maintenance for road users don't have ?2 votes -

Horse-riding
It would be great if you could mark yourself as a slow-moving hazard for other Wazers to be alerted to on their screens as they drive.
Imagine you are riding a horse on a narrow country lane. Considerate drivers slow right down when passing riders on horseback to avoid spooking the horses.
If you could declare yourself a rider on horseback, and had your phone with you then other Waze users could be alerted to your presence well before rounding the very last corner and needing to brake suddenly.
This could reduce accidents between horses and cars.

Match multiple riders to unlock HOV for everyone
In the San Francisco Bay Area, and many other municipalities, HOV lanes require 3 or more people to use. If Waze Rider had a feature that let you request an HOV carpool only, and would enable multiple matches so that you could get 3 people in the car (driver + 2 riders), everyone would save 45 minutes of traffic. That would be a huge incentive to get people to use the app, meaning easier and more matches and fewer cars on the road.
Add HOV matching!

Which lane should follow before getting to the location where Waze tells your next turn
Waze shows the lane that should be used for the next turn, but do not show which lane you should follow at each cross road or traffic light. I was using the Waze in cities abroad or even in my country and as I didn’t know the town was cumbersome to guess which lane should I take at every cross road / traffic light before getting to the actual position where I should take a turn and Waze was telling me which are the coreect lanes. It would be great in the city that Wase shows you at every…

Capture Entry/Exit Locations On Tool Roads - California Visitors
When visiting California from out of state, toll roads come into play. Most often they are the most direct route. But the challenge is knowing when and where you have actually entered and exited them. So when you visit TheTollRoads.com to pay your toll, you need to know the date, time, entry point and exit point for the fare calculation. When you don't know these facts it's impossible to properly fill out the bill. In a rental car, if the data doesn't match up, you'll pay the toll commission AND the rental company will double up (or…

Taxi Features / Funcionalidades para taxis
Develop options for taxi navigation such as:
- Routes that have exclusive lanes of taxi use;
- Proposed destination by proximity that has a shorter travel time for the passenger to end their route by walking. For example, if the navigation can determine that a point of up to 300 meters (parameter) of the destination will significantly reduce the travel time, this can be given as an option to the passenger.Desenvolver opções para navegação de taxis como:
