Showing lane signs even without navigation
Sometimes you drive without navigation and reach an intersection where some of the lanes go in different directions, and because of the road conditions the signs are hidden and it is impossible to understand which lane to choose.
It would be useful if the directions of travel in each lane were displayed on the screen, as there is during navigation but without highlighting any lane.3 votes -
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:

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.

Lane guidance interface
Hi, I have a suggestion to improve lane guidance in Waze.
Currently, when a turn is coming up (e.g., turn right), Waze shows which lanes can be used (e.g., both right lanes). But sometimes, right after that turn, the driver needs to make another move (e.g., a left turn).
In those cases, it would be helpful if Waze still showed the usable lanes, but highlighted the most optimal one for the next maneuver. For example, use a slightly different shade (like a darker green) to indicate that staying in the left of the two right lanes…

Feature request - ability to specify which lane is affected
I wonder if it would be possible to add an extra screen where you can specify where a hazard is - e.g. a pothole or object in the road. It’s not useful on a 3 lane motorway to be informed about a pothole in lane 3 when you’re driving in lane 1!
Additionally if a feature could be added regarding reporting things on the other side of the road - e.g. roadworks that are in the lane going in the other direction but not affecting your lane.

Time based lane guidance
Atm you can't set Lane Guidance based on time. Unfortunately this is an inconvenience in places like Melbourne, Victoria, Australia where certain lanes change depending on the time of the day.

Add lane icons near the car collision icon
Hello waze! It occurred to me that they put an icon next to a car crash, some arrow that has 3 points. Left, center or right, because I see that many people always ask what lane the collision is in. They say that in the CHAT, that is, the messages, apart from saying negative things.... then... allow those who put car crash icons to also put IN WHICH LANE the accident is, so that the people who see it, you don't have to log in to see the messages. thx a lot, bye!

Suggest to show clearly which lane to choose for multi-lane roundabouts in the UK and bus lanes
Eagerly hoping Waze will have a clear guidance of which lane to choose for multi-lane roundabouts in the uk, i often get confused about which lane to choose. This will be very helpful especially for new drivers or people entering new zones, i often see crashes of cars choosing wrong lanes in multi-lane roundabouts. Please add this feature. Another suggestion is adding bus lanes alert.

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).

Full visual lane guidance (like TomTom or Sygic)
Hello,
I would like to suggest adding full visual lane guidance to Waze, similar to what TomTom or Sygic offer.This means showing all lanes clearly on the screen, with the correct lane highlighted using arrows or lines, not just a small icon or short instruction.
The current Direction card with a lane icon is helpful, but not enough, especially when driving on highways or in complex intersections.
A visual guide across the screen would make navigation safer and easier to follow – especially for less experienced drivers or tourists.
Please consider adding this feature in future updates.

Lane display in AA/CarPlay
Hello,
I suggest changing the lane display on Waze in CarPlay/Android Auto. The display is too small although there is the possibility of having a larger display without losing the basic instructions.
Here is an example --> https://photos.app.goo.gl/yDCGB9X6EhJyWogAA

Indicate best lane on upcoming turns with multiple left or right lanes
I find myself still using google maps while driving in the city, because it gets tricky when for example, a right turn needs to be made quickly after a left turn, and there are two left lanes. Google maps indicates that the right left lane is the correct lane. I love everything else about waze and if this one feature was added, I would use it at all time and cut out maps completely!

Please add lane guidance to the Heads up display in carplay
Please add lane guidance to the Heads up display in carplay. If we have to look at main display for the lane direction, it makes the heads up display useless. So kindly complete the heads up display support by giving lane guidance on it.

Select which lane a hazard or stopped vehicle is in on the motorway/freeway
Users should be able to select which lane a hazard or stopped vehicle is in on the motorway/freeway.
When driving on a multi-lane road, there's often reports of a hazard that cannot be seen. It would be more useful for "Which lane is the hazard in?" then select 1/2/3/4/5 so that drivers know specifically if it is likely to affect them.

Recommended lane marked with a star
I think it would be beneficial to add something like a star symbol on the recommended lane for the driver to be. Because here in my city (Plovdiv, Bulgaria), there are some weird intersections where Waze tells me I'm ok to use both lanes but then suddenly I have to be on the right lane only to take the next turn.

passing lanes on single lane roads - wouldn't be great if one could get informed how long the incoming passing lane is?
Passing lanes - always a guessing game how long they are - the roads sign is there, and tell you that is coming ahead, but sometimes you have a very short one, meaning you won't be able to pass if you are three cars behind. Would be a good hint to all drivers, as slow down to let pass, or get ready to do a quick passing. - So once the road sign saying passing lane 1 mile ahead - you could tap on screen and see it's length too or set app to warn you if shorter tan…

It would be amazing to have traffic conditions and route details based on the HOV lane. Thanks!
HOV Lane button would be amazing! I would love to know the traffic conditions based on using the HOV lane. Thanks!
2 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.
