Additional highlights for current lanes
A excellent feature that would help navigation in close intersaction areas would be additionally highlighting preferred lanes for next intersection. For example having 2 close intersections 1. shows use first 3 lanes for this intersenction 2nd shows to use the 1st or the last lane to continue. While the current feature of overall showing what lanes are plausible for this intersection is great, it has led me to fast maneuvering or slowing down to change lanes in unknown areas with close intersections, would be awesome if while driving before the 1st intersection as now it shows…

entering an accident
I would like to address you with one suggestion. I'm an everyday user of Waze and I came up with one small adjustment that might help.
When entering an accident, would it be possible to add to the application the option to mark the lane where the accident occurred? At the moment, it is written in the accident report, but few people read here. I often see situations where cars change into another lane, for example on the highway at the last minute, and this change could help to make the lanes smoother before the accident.Existing accident…

If when navigating waze told you whether your destination was on the right or left side of the street would help. Also the lane assistant would be nice.

A driver in the express lane without a transponder configured receives a notification that a transponder is required
If Waze detects that a driver is in the express lane but the driver does not have a transponder configured in the app, provide an alert telling the driver a transponder is required.
Alternatively, let a driver know at the start of a drive that a given route could be faster if they had an ezpass transponder configured.2 votes -
Add bike lanes on roads
There should be an option where you can see bike lanes, it can pop up on the side of roads that actually have bike lanes. If there is a bike lane and you need to turn where the bike lane is, it could give you a warning to watch for cyclists in the bike lane. With adding bike lanes, you can even add a feature for cyclists! When you put in your destination on Waze, there could be a pop up that is a little button which says CAR or BIKE. You could switch it on…

adjust hazard reporting to include where the problem is, IE left Shu
Location of Hazard/Accident: It would be extremely helpful to be able to identify where a Hazard or Accident is IE: Left or Right Shoulder, Left or Right Lane or Center lane. This would allow wazers to adjust there positioning on the road to get through the problem area quicker by knowing to stay on the opposite side of where the problem has been reported.

Add ability to specify number of passengers so that App can determine whether to suggest taking High Occupancy Vechicle Lane on highways
Some highways have HOV Lanes that are intended for cars with 2+ occupants (i.e. Hwy 403, 404 Ontario Canada). In cases when person is travelling alone the App still suggests taking HOV lane because it does not know the number of occupants in the car.

Add the ability for users to refine the location of a report by dragging the icon to the accurate location. This feature can also be useful when combined with another feature of lane identification i.e when an object is on the road and subsequent users refine the location and also identify the lane.

Differentiate between HOV(High Occupancy Vehicle) and an HOT (High Occupancy Toll) lanes.
In metropolitan Atlanta, the Georgia D.O.T. has been transforming HOV lanes to HOT Toll lanes, which will cause you to face a traffic ticket in the mail for $150, if you do not have a valid Georgia Peach (Toll paying) Pass, or a similar pass from select other states. The State of Georgia has plans to expand the program in other metropolitan regions as well as other freeways in the Atlanta region. The ability to alert drivers that the HOV Lane ends and a TOLL Lane is replacing it ahead is an important piece of information.

speed camera popup
The speed camera warning popup obscures the lane guidance when used in Android Auto. Lane guidance is more important than the speed warning, especially when getting close to highway exits or when the upcoming turn is close to the speed camera. Please reduce the speed camera pop up or move it elsewhere!

Add an option where you can choose whether you will be using a carpool lane so that
Add an option where you can choose whether you will be using a carpool lane so that traffic and ETA data are more accurate. If many members in a given area are using carpool lanes, they will bring the average speed up and ETA will be sooner than actual. There are times where my ETA has increased by 30 minutes on a 1 hour drive.

Lane shift - it could also be a sign, because it is very misleading that you cannot signal a shift, only a lane closure. There is a huge difference between the two, since in a lane closure the lane is closed, in a shift the lane is not, it is just diverted. In this case, we cannot talk about a closure, but since there is no other option, this is reported incorrectly, thereby giving false information.1 vote -
