Blocked lane options laid out vertically in CarPlay. The options would appear as the actual road position and be more efficient
Would it be possible to lay out the blocked lane options vertically as it would appear on the road in CarPlay rather than horizontally?

Highway symbols and lane assist on steering wheel screen (Android Automotive)
Highway symbols for state/province highways and interstates, as well as lane assist, should be visible on the steering wheel screen in Android Automotive (Polestar, Volvo, etc.) during navigation, just as they are on Google Maps, for better visual cues for drivers.

Add voice notification when there is a mobile police camera in the opposite lane
I use Waze almost every day. I recently received a ticket and noticed that when there is a mobile police camera marked in the opposite lane (even on a two-way road), Waze does not send me a voice notification or warn me about it. Mobile police cameras measure speed in both directions. Can you make the app send a notification even if there is a mobile police camera marked in the opposite lane?

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.

Reporting of traffic jams in filter lanes or turning lanes
Hi, many times while driving on the highway I would pass a filter lane or turning lane at a traffic light that is extremely long. I would like to be able to report this so other users who might be coming up to the turning lane would know its present status and can decide if they want to continue there or go to another turn off. Currently, I can only flag whether there is traffic on the "main road" that I am traveling on.

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…

Bus lane - options to enable them and present them on the map
I have EV and I have enabled EV mode. In my country, EV can drive on bus lane.
I was expecting that Waze would take that into consideration and it is : yesterday, when I set up the destination, Waze told/asked me that "The route might contains directions on bus lane". I had the checkbox to hide the prompt in the future (which I marked) and button like ok/dismiss (I don't remember). This is great.However I would like to unmark the button now and there is no option in UI (iOS) for it. Also while driving or…

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.
