For multiple turns that are close to each other, only highlight the left or right lane that is needed for that turn
Waze highlights which lane(s) to be in for turns, which is extremely helpful. However, multiple lanes may be highlighted when a turn or ramp requiring a specific lane is coming very soon. For heavy traffic, changing lanes last-minute can be unsafe, inconvenient, and/or almost impossible. Highlighting the one lane that makes an upcoming turn easiest would be a very valuable addition.

Eliminate country lanes
Eliminate country lanes as an option for routing would be great in the UK as these roads are often single lane and dangerous to drive. All to save a minute from the main roads!

Single Lane with/without passing places
In the UK, we have a large number of narrow two way roads which are often only the width of a single vehicle. You can often meet oncoming traffic head-on with no easy way of passing unless one driver decides to reverse. Either that, or at best, you both end up with scratched paintwork.
Waze has no way of knowing which roads are narrow, so will often route along this type of road. Many of us would prefer to take a longer route to avoid this type of road.
I suggest that within WME we have a tickbox option of…

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!

Mark overtaking lanes on back roads / B road highways
On minor highways (in Australia at least) they are often one lane in either direction, with the occasional overtaking lane being two lanes in one direction, one in the other.
These can be 10km+ apart and aren’t signposted until they are close.
It would be nice to colour indicate these lanes on the map so the driver/passenger can see if it is worth waiting to overtake a vehicle in the single lane road or wait until the safer overtaking lane15 votesThanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

Show blocked and illegal lanes
London, Clapham Park Lane. Bus lane at a junction. There is a left turn lane for buses only. But Waze shows to turn left and does not show the forbidden lane on the map. I had a fine for being in that lane. Please edit the map to show that lane. Possible even a verbal warning to the unwary

Lane based time estimates / estimated times based on destinations, exit ramp backups
This one's a tricky one to explain. Sometimes, I'm on a highway, and Waze's suggested route goes out onto a very backed-up exit ramp that backs up a half-mile before the actual exit ramp begins, occuping the right lane of the road, even while the other travel lanes are moving at full speed.
I'm trying to figure out if this skews the traffic routing and travel time estimations. Yes, the highway is backed up and traveling at 2 MPH, but only in the right lane where that exit is backed up half a mile. If you're in the center…

need waze to tell me the turn after next, so I can set lane position properly when making the next turn
Waze will show/tell m the next turn to make, but before I get to it, I need to know what the turn after will be, to insure my lane position is correct for the coming turn.

Permanent road closures in London
Permanent road closures in London
There have been so many new road closures due to the LTN scheme (low traffic neighbourhoods). There is nowhere on the app that allows you to say that the road has been blocked to traffic in both directions at a particular point and that it is a road closure – usually permanent. Please add permanent road closure as an option.10 votesThanks for contacting us about reporting an error on the map. Our community of volunteer map editors handle all changes to the Waze map.

Suggestion for New Feature: Reporting Hazards on Opposite Lane
As a frequent user of Waze, I have found it incredibly useful to report hazards such as accidents, objects on the road, or other potential dangers. However, I have noticed that the current reporting system only allows us to report issues on the lane we are driving in. There are many instances where I have observed hazards on the opposite lane, which could be equally important for other drivers to be aware of.
I would like to suggest adding a functionality that allows users to report hazards on the opposite lane. This could be particularly beneficial on highways…

Hi dear waze team. Now we have highlighted lane on express way with 3 or more lane on the top of navigation screen, that very helpful .
Hi dear waze team.
Now we have highlighted lane indicators on the top of screen which is very helpful to drive in the express way with 3 or more lane. Thanks for this great improvement.
The only thing missing in this App is the Bluetooth and FM transmitter
With improving this two option, waze will be the top and best in the world.

Road closure
Please for the love of god, let us report road closures in our general vicinity (5-10 mile radius), it's completely impractical and unsafe to only allow us to report something if we're 10ft from it. Often I'm on a motorcycle and can't be messing with my phone on the road, but even if I pull over, I can't report something a few hundred feet away or behind me. Especially in the mountains where reception is scarce. Same goes for gas prices. Make it make sense. Fix this.

When approaching each HOT lane entry point tell me how much time I'll save by paying the toll, even if no time savings
In areas with parallel, optional toll/express lanes like Northern VA -
At EACH HOT(High Occupancy Toll)/Express lane entry point tell me how much time I will save by choosing the toll lane, even if that time is 0 or negative.
Ex. "Approaching entrance to a parallel Toll lane, at this time entering the toll lane is estimated to be 30 min faster than the regular lanes"
Ex. "Approaching entrance to a parallel Toll lane, at this time there is no time benefit to entering the toll lane."Currently I think maybe Waze is suggesting…

Temporary HOV/Carpool lanes
If I'm in a 2+ vehicle, it would be nice if a route preferred HOV lanes. In my area, there is a "temporary" HOV lane which has a different direction in morning and evening. (See US-93 between Boston and Braintree MA)
20 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.

Add option to make restrictions visible similar to closures
This goes together with a suggestion on the WME side to add a check box in WME.
Since there is no easy way to add closures based on a schedule, there are times it would be nice to have restrictions that can be scheduled show in the app similar to a closure. That way someone driving without a route will have the visual cue like a closure.
