In order for Waze to accurately give you the optimal route, depending on your settings, it needs to have accurate data for all neighboring segments and routes. Because of that, we don't currently support navigating in lanes dedicated to public transportation, bicycles or trucks.

As a community-based traffic and navigation app, Waze was created as a social navigation tool for private cars. Drivers connect to one another and work together to improve each other’s driving experience. Waze is powered and used by drivers all over the world. The more people drive with Waze open, the better the navigation. The maps and navigation are powered by users. In fact, Waze works best on your regular trips and commuting. There's no need to make special trips with Waze. Waze uses the information it collects to calculate average speed, check for errors, improve road layout and learn road and turn direction. Even if you aren't using Waze to navigate, just open it. The easiest way to improve Waze is just to drive around with Waze open on your screen. Waze collects this information and immediately analyzes it in order to provide other Wazers with the most optimal route to their destination, 24 hours a day. When you use Waze, you can also actively report to the community on traffic, accidents, police traps, blocked roads, weather conditions and much more. By simply driving around with Waze open on your device, you share real-time information that translates into traffic conditions and road structure.
