Need way to edit one lane bridge, due to long term construction, causes two way traffic to wait, traffic lights on ramps and road
Need way to edit/show one lane bridge, especially due to long term construction. Current situation causes two way traffic to wait while traffic lights on ramps and road cycle to allow only one ramp or roadway lane to proceed at a time from any direction.
No existing Waze edit function to mark local bridge that is under repairs and causing traffic delays. How can we show detour? All traffic is now funneled through one lane on bridge one traffic direction/lane at a time. No edit function to indicate this to warn drivers to avoid bridge, at least not for…

Enable road closure selection for freeway offramps
when reporting a road closure there are little "X" marks all over the map but i never see one specifically for the freeway offramp. i have tried reporting freeway offramp closures several times around Los Angeles County (most recently on the 170 north Magnolia Blvd. exit) and the "X" never shows up for the offramp so i am unable to report. oddly enough i always see an "X" appear for freeway onramps, just never for the offramps.

More Road Closure Options
While navigating, if a road is closed, we have the option to enter that a turn is closed. You can enter construction, with temporary, or "several hours", or "several days". You should be able to enter times. For example, a road near my work is only open from 530am - 6pm M-F. There is no way to submit that.

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…

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.

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.

Express and local lanes
Problem: the GPS cannot precisely indicate which lane you are, if you are on express or local lane. This generates a risk to lead the driver to the wrong way since the driver will folllow what Waze says and cannot realize it's incorrect lane.
Solution: I have a solution to implement locally in the APP to distinguish if you are on local or express lane since the GPS cannot precisely indicate which lane you are.
The pseudo code is done and I can send to Google.

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.

When clicking on a road closure within an event, the map will pan to that road closure.
In Taiwan, we often have simultaneous road closures across multiple regions. This usually happens during public holidays based on government traffic forecasts. Furthermore, Taiwan frequently experiences natural disasters like typhoons and earthquakes. As a result, we often need to set up preemptive road closures in various areas, or report roads that are completely cut off due to disaster damage.
Currently, when users receive an Event notification containing a list of these closures, it's difficult for them to immediately pinpoint the exact locations on the map. They have to manually pan around the map to find where a…

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 -
Expand the Construction Warning
Expand the "Construction" tab to include multiple options to accurately warn drivers. For example:
- Flag Person
- Temporary Signal
- Left/Right/Center Lane Closed
- Lane Shift/Detour
- Pavement Ends
The biggest one for me is the lane closures, because I want to know which lane is blocked/closed ahead before I get to the situation. Just marking "construction" offers me no insight and just keeps me on high alert.

Add a HOT/HOV lane on-screen toggle
Please add an on-screen toggle when the HOT/HOV lane is coming up. Many people have different times they use the lanes. For instance, I always use the HOV lane when I have another passenger, but obviously never use it when I am alone. For the HOT lane, I only use it if the cost is under a couple dollars. I've seen it go up in the teens, and that is way too much. I only make these decisions while already driving because I'm not thinking about them at the start of the trip in the suburbs. If I'm…

I plan to use Waze data to support defense for moving out of lane unsafely summons
I plan to use Waze data to support defense for moving out of lane unsafely summons - is there any legal precedence? I have great downloads from Waze site showing I never moved out of my lane - will the New Rochelle NY court accept these photos?

A camera in a public transport lane
In Israel there are lanes designated only for public transportation, but a vehicle with 3+ or 2+ passengers is allowed to travel in the lane according to the signage.
They recently installed cameras that automatically count the number of passengers in the vehicle, and I did not find an option to notify the location of this camera.
Please add the option to notify you of the location of the camera to inform the other passengers.
Thanks for everything and have a nice day.2 votes -
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..

Add the ability to see lane merges ahead of you.
Might be nice to be shown arrows if you have a merge coming ahead of you on the route similar to how it shows lanes for exits, turns, ect.
This can prove useful if there is traffic and you can either pre-change to avoid having to merging or can stay in the merging lane to zipper merge later saving you time.

Road closure navigation update
When driving and find that the highway you're about to get on is closed. You sit in traffic for 45 minutes. After you pass the highway it continues to try to navigate you onto the highway when it is closed due to an accident

[Feature Request] Moving Lane Guidance (See Example)
It would be nice if we could have moving lane guidance to make things a little clearer.
Waze is sometimes too slow or unclear/confusing to give me a direction on the road, causing me to miss a turn.
TomTom Go does this exceptionally well and I would love to see this implemented in Waze.
Sharing this on the forum for visibility. I also posted it to the Waze Suggestion Box on Uservoice.2 votes
