Suppress lane guidance announcement when turning lane is a single lane
Currently, on intersections with Lane Guidance mapped, for TTS voices, Waze announces the number of lanes that turn. For example, "Use the right 2 lanes to turn right".
My suggestion is that if there is only a single lane in the rightmost or leftmost position to perform the turn maneuver (whether it's a Keep, Exit, Turn, or U-Turn), Waze do not announce the "Use the right lane to turn right", or the "Use the left lane to turn left". If there are more lanes or more complex maneuvers, Waze keeps the lane announcments.
There are two benefits:…

Single lane/double lane countdown
For roads that switch between single lane and double lane (in the same direction) forth and back, it would be nice to have a counter indicating how long it is left to next switch.
These kind of roads are common on the swedish country side.

Carpool lane
It would be great if waze could calculate the time your route would take if you were in a carpool lane. As it can take less time when in an HOV lane, the arrival time given is usually off. For instance, when I use the I-405, it will want we to take the 1-110 and then the I-101, but then it will tell me that the route using the I-110 is slower than if I had just stayed on the I-405. This is quite annoying and so I would if you could put in either you were using…

Lane closure reports made easy
I'd like a report button that would indicate lane closures.
Could press to report the beginning of the lane closure, then press again to report the end.
Then you indicate whether it's the left, right, or center lane.

Lane Guidance
While using Waze on highways lately, I have begun to think that having the ability to see what lane becomes the off ramp would be great, especially in complex city interchanges.
Portuguese: Estava usando o Waze em rodovias e comecei a pensar que seria ótimo ter a capacidade de ver qual pista pegar, especialmente em trevos complexos dentro das cidades.
Spanish: Últimamente me he dado cuenta que al utilizar waze en capitales se hace muy necesario que waze indique cual carril de una calle, avenida o autopista, llega a ser una rampa, especialmente en complejos intercambios.

One Lane Bridge Alerts
It would be great to have a warning when approaching a one lane bridge, given that it's an important time to slow down and be prepared to stop. By one lane bridge, I mean a bridge with one lane that is shared be the traffic going in either direction (https://www.nzta.govt.nz/roadcode/general-road-code/road-code/about-driving/giving-way/giving-way-on-one-lane-bridges/).
Generally one direction gets the right of way, so it would also be handy to have that included in the warning.

lane change
In the map display, there are no lane change indicators like those white bold arrows when turning left, right or U-turn. Those are important to have an early indicator that you are about to lane change on a certain location in the map. This will also help in the use of the lane guidance to know which part of the map should we use the guidance.

Distance to overtaking lane
On australian highways we have overtaking lanes at various distances along the road. It would be nice to know the distance to the next overtaking lane to allow people to wait instead of making risky overtaking moves when the next overtaking lane is only 1km away

Third lane
It would be very useful if it showed on the map when there is a third track. It could help mitigate road accidents, as it is in the third lane that most cars overtake other vehicles, and knowing when there will be one would help a lot.

Lane Guidance on Roundabouts
When approaching a roundabout in the UK, waze will not tell me which lane I need to be in, to take my desired exit.
This is something that Google maps does so WELL! Please consider adding this on waze.

Lane guidance colour
The current lane guidance in Android Auto is shown such that the 1st line shows the upcoming lanes to take, and the 2nd line shows the next (i.e. then) guidance. Instead of taking up two lines, which takes up space, colour the most appropriate lane (s) in a different colour (green), and the least best lane in another colour (amber). For eg, if the upcoming highway exit is 3 lanes to the right, but the final edit is only the right most lane, colour the 3 arrows such that the right most is green, and the two…

Get in Lane
On many junctions and roundabouts, there are set lanes for turning left/right/straight ahead. For those not familiar with these roads it would be an invaluable addition if your set route could alert you to which lane you need to be in. I have often gotten myself into the wrong lane and taken the 'scenic route' because it hasn't been clear until too late which lane I am needing and I know many, many other drivers that have hit this problem, sometimes taking us miles out of our way to get back on route.
Thank you for your consideration :o)1 vote
