I-95/495 Express (HOT) Lanes
When navigating and driving in the I-95 and I-495 Express Lanes (DC area), Waze continuously tries to recalculate the route to get me back onto the regular I-95/495 lanes. Even though Waze shows me on lanes that Waze knows about (Express Lanes), it refuses to recalculate my route to use the Express Lanes that I'm on. The repeated recalcuations with wacky routes to get back on the regular lanes is very annoying.

And before anyone suggests adding an EZPass transponder to my Waze application, did you know that if you don't have an EZPass, you can still drive on the Express Lanes and get billed via your license plate? So, not everyone who drives in the Express Lanes necessarily has an EZPass. This past weekend I was driving my wife's automobile, using my phone for Waze and my wife's EZPass. I don't typically drive with an EZPass in MY car, so it doesn't make sense to add hers since Waze may route me onto toll roads in MY car when I don't have an EZPass.
The bottom line is that if Waze knows that I am driving on lanes THAT WAZE KNOWS ABOUT, Waze should recalculate my route TO THOSE LANES. Waze should not care if I have entered an EZPass in my configuration... that's irrelevant. I'm on the lanes, so just route me on those lanes!
