Add north south west east direction when reporting from iPhone
Add preset when reporting anything to waze via iPhone to show which direction drivers will see the report. Accident. Police etc. This also should show in the text description of the report. Same lane or other can help and this may show on the map. But it's hard to tell exactly what lane it's in. Ie, car stopped on shoulder may look on map like it's northbound lane when it's really south. Add direction of travel preset similar to same lane button.

Turn Express Lanes off just like you can Toll Roads
Please Please find a way to turn off express lanes. You did it for Tol Roads do it for express lanes. I turned off my toll road pass to see if it would help and it does not - besides there are times I want toll roads to be an option but NOT express lanes. Every day I head home it only gives me express lane options - I'm not getting a ticket for being on an express lane as a single rider and I'm unable to get around traffic becauses waze wants to assume I'm on…

Always list how many turn lanes
As a truck driver and knowing there is no truck route option coming then at least posting how many lanes turn would be usefull. When I'm in an unfamiliar area I don't always know which lane to go to and as truckers need to turn from furthest lane and if we are in wrong lane it can cause MAJOR DELAYS AND DANGERS

Potential Bug: New lane closure report does not appear in achievements past reports
The new lane closure report type(thank you for adding that!) does not appear in the past reports when looking at your account under “achievements”(I think that is the name of the tab).
I’m sure the team is aware, but thought I would share my findings anyways.
Thanks!

Provide an auto-reroute disable function.
Provide an auto-reroute disable function. I was going through Atlanta and routed off of I-75 HOV lane (75 mph) to surface streets, only to be routed back on to I-75 slow lane (10-15 mph). That cost me about 15 minutes trying to get back to the HOV lane.

Stopped car in the lanes
Hi, recently the “stopped car in the lane” was removed from the Hazards. Could take it back? Thanks

Left hand HOV Lanes
Waze does not reliably suggest HOV lanes. When HOV lanes are dedicated, Waze will regularly suggest them when selecting an HOV route, but when it's a permissive lane (separated by dashed lines rather than separated by a physical barrier), Waze will not suggest the lane most of the time.
When a Wazer selects an HOV route, permissive HOV lanes should be suggested.

Bad weather warnings in both lanes
The weather warning should be on both lanes because it affects both sides. It doesn't snow in only one lane.

Show highway lanes like Sygic
Sygic shows the different highway lanes on a popup to know in which lane to be at the time of exiting, that'd be a great addition
1 voteGreat news! One of the most requested suggestions – Lane Guidance, is now available in Waze. Thanks for your suggestion. Drive safely!

A button for HOV or non-HOV
There should be a button to tell Waze whether the car is in the HOV lane. 1), it would help Waze better determine traffic speed since it wouldn't average Wazer's in the HOV lanes with the speeds of those driving slower. 2), the Map would/could show the average speed of HOV or non HOV speeds. A Wazer in the HOV lane could really impact the accurate speed average shown (and vice versa).

Be able to drop a pin to report later
Be able to drop a pin and report when not driving.
Say which lane to take on freeways with multi-lane exits.
Make “closures” actually work. I am in SF and it never lets me mark where I am that is closed, also for multi lane streets, like Juniperra Serra, the option to choose a lane is needed.

Variable distance until off-ramp
When on a 4, 5, or 6 lane highway, traveling at highway speeds in the left lane, in moderate or congested traffic in the left lane, I really need more than 1 mile notice of an offramp. So it'd be nice if either (a) the distance to a turn was related to speed (e.g., at 25 miles an hour, a mile notice is good, but at 65 miles an hour a three mile notice would be better) AND/OR (b) users having the ability to set the distance that they want turn-notices to be announced.

"Narrowed lanes" Danger
Hi,
I do more than 110km a day,
Very often, you'll encounter some situation where one lane is temporarily removed. Typically in Waze, Users would declare "Roadworks", but I think it's too general to really anticipate this specific situation.
I think it would be very interesting, both in terms of safety and information, to have the possibility to declare a "Narrowed lanes" danger, particulary because sometimes it is really abruptly becoming narrowed and the sole declaration "Roadworks" is not sufficient enough as it is very often used for works being done on the side of the road. It would…5 votes -
Close a report that is in the opposite lane or behind me
I am also often interested in the reports from the opposite lane. I can confirm these. If the report is definitely incorrect or no longer available, I would like to report it or even have it deleted.
If I have driven past a report and open it later, I cannot delete it either. I am more likely to be able to find out about suspensions behind or next to me than presumably in front of me. I would be very pleased if this function were added.

Can you show report types on the Desktop version of the Waze Live Map such as car on shoulder, car in lane, accident and the rest.

Node Types - Multi use and meaningful for routes (Traffic Lights, Lane Guidance, etc)
An intersection always has a node, this node could become much more meaningful than simple turns and could significantly enhance the functionality of Waze (albeit with a significant development penalty).
By adding some logic to nodes you will be able to introduce some logic that will significantly enhance the ability for the routing engine to calculate superior routes when taking in things like traffic light penalties and other metrics.
1) You can collect timing metrics for intersections much more efficiently, and potentially learn intersection timing and other factors which will help produce much more accurate route timings without depending on…
