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.

Public transport lane indicator
By indicating the lanes on the road when driving on, for example, 4 lanes, there is no way to inform the user that one or more lanes are intended only for public transport.
It would be great to introduce a special public transport icon for such lanes.
This is especially true for straight stripes.7 votes -
Adding report options "Oil Trace" and "Lane Closed" for Germany
I've seen that in Hungary there's the option to report at least a Closed Lane. This is also relevant for Germany. For example a closed lane on a relatively well known route of a driver could be dangerous. He's expecting a certain amount of lanes but doesn't know the newest conditions on road.
So please enable this option for drivers in Germany.The "Oil Trace" report could be helpful as well. Often such reports are mentioned in the radio. It would be a step forward to more safety in Germany and the rest of the world to add…

Put a bike lane in the Lincoln and Holland tunnels
https://twitter.com/waze/status/1091359985647394816
Nobody can walk into NYC from Jersey City/Hoboken. You need to drive a vehicle or take a bus. Seems really tone def. I'm just following instructions from your twitter account. Would love for you to work with the port authority of new york / new jersey to get a bike lane or some way for pedestrians to walk under the tunnel.

Buss lane camera UK
Dear Waze Team,
I’m a regular user of Waze and truly appreciate how it helps make driving easier and safer. I’d like to suggest adding a new feature to the app: bus lane camera alerts, especially in cities like London where these cameras are widespread.
Many drivers are fined for accidentally entering bus lanes without realizing it, and an alert system could prevent such mistakes, just like the existing speed camera notifications. This would be incredibly helpful for users unfamiliar with specific areas or road layouts.

Second and third lane early warnings
Second and third lane early warnings. Through many of my travels in south america i often have to pass busses, trucks or slow cars. Many times i had to pass them on a straight with high visibility, but sometimes i had to pass or a short straight. Many of those times i'd just pass them and a second or third lane would open after a hill or very short time. All of those times that this happened, i always had the same thought "i wish Waze had an early warning of a second and third lane for passing heavy and…

Colour code the best lane options for upcoming turns
It would be fantastic if the lanes could be colour coded for upcoming turns to get you into the best lane possible. Example is if you are a long way from the turn, have all the lanes in Green. Then as you get closer to the intersection, colour the lanes next to your optimal turning lane in Orange and all other lanes in Red. This would then encourage you to get into the correct lane in preparation for your turn well in advance. This would help when you are in heavily congested traffic, multilane highways…

Send lane INTERDICTION alert through the vehicle's multimedia.
Hello, I believe that the following idea is an improvement and it is not a possible bug solution, because the functionality would have been tested before the release of the version.
When trying to send a lane interdiction alert through the vehicle's multimedia, the option does not appear, just using the cell phone without mirroring, I am using a cell phone with an IOS operating system, but the same behavior is seen with cell phones with an Android operating system.
Particularly, I don't walk with my cell phone in hand while driving, nor would I like to stop the vehicle…

Give the option to say I entered the express lane or not
Every morning Waze says to use the express lane. I usually don’t need to. In the afternoon I am not told to use the express lane. I almost always need to. If I could say when I entered it or not Waze could get better data to suggest when I will need the express lane

A way to take a picture of slow left lane drivers
Waze users take pictures of slow left-hand lane drivers. Then multiple pictures of the same slow vehicle in the left lane would notify law enforcement.

Blocked Lane achievement points for reports and likes
The Blocked Lane report is a terrific addition to reports. However, Waze users do not get any credit in Achievements for seen or likes as they do on other reports. This disincentivizes users from using the feature. I hope Waze will allow users to collect points for reporting a blocked lane as they do on all other reports.

Bring back opposite lane reporting
Why on earth was opposite direction reporting removed? I could get quite sarcastic right now, but it's too early..

You sent me into bus lane
In Tel Aviv, Waze directed me to use a bus lane and I got a 500 shekel fine. This is not the 1st time.
Please contact me & compensate me for the fine.

Improved lane guidance for consecutive intersections
An example is three consecutive intersections coming with very short distance (e.g. https://www.waze.com/en/live-map/directions?latlng=56.923461945338325%2C24.165415763854984 going from Krasta Iela to P (Akropole) it's important to stay in the correct lane in all three intersections. Otherwise, you will either end up doing a U-turn, continue towards Salaspils or end up on Slavu Iela towards Dreilini.

Lane Assignments / Off-ramp Turns
I love Waze…. Hands-down, best traffic app there is! But I also absolutely HATE the app at times, especially when I miss my turn. The interface at interstate intersections, on and off ramps, is subpar to say the least. This is where Waze fails miserably. Every other app there is, or pre installed vehicle navigation systems, do such a better job at breaking down lane assignments or alerting to difficult or congested intersections. Waze needs to do better! I cannot miss anymore turns at off-ramps … I will pull the rest of my hair out!

Add Hazard for Vehicles Stopped in the Lane
I have a feature suggestion that could improve road safety and the accuracy of hazard reporting. Currently, Waze allows users to report vehicles stopped on the shoulder, but there is no option to report vehicles stopped directly in the driving lane.
Such situations pose a significant danger to other drivers, especially at night or in poor visibility conditions. Adding a hazard category specifically for "Vehicle stopped in lane" would help alert drivers more effectively and enhance safety for everyone on the road.

Yager Lane in Austin is pro
Yager Lane in Austin is pronounced like the famous test pilot "Yeager" and not "Yay-zhur" as the app says it.
Not sure if this is the appropriate place, but I can't find anywhere else to submit this.

Show Lane Guidance Even If Continuing Through Junction
Lane guidance (along with Visual Instructions) is a great and helpful feature, but I've noticed that it really only comes up if making a turn.
There are many locations I've come across as an editor where a Visual Instruction would be great if continuing on the road because it provides the driver with more information. Unfortunately, even if I add it to the system it never comes up because I'm going straight through the intersection/junction.
I think showing lane guidance regardless of the "turn" would make the app more user friendly, but it obviously needs to be balanced to not…
