Polygons in WME should just be a thick border instead of a full fill
To allow for easier interaction with polygons and segments & places inside polygons, change the polygons to be a thick border instead of it being a filled polygon.
With the expansion of features that include many polygons beyond just places (JBs, Permanent Hazards, Natural features, etc), it would make it much easier to work with these shapes.OpenStreetMap does this very well.

Keep usernames in WME history instead of "inactive user"
Whenever an user is banned or deletes his/her account or just mysteriously (!!) loses his/her account, all edits in history will be shown under name "inactive user" with a link to 404 page.
Just, for the sake of history, please keep the original username in history and add a little remark that the account is inactive/deleted/etc..

Narrow Road Permanent Hazard
This permanent hazard would warn users of an upcoming section of narrower road width that has traffic and/or safety considerations. Potential applications include:
Areas where a two-way road transitions to a single-lane width where opposing traffic must alternate/give way through the narrow section

Refer to turn closure from adjoining segment's closure list
RTC on turns are only visible in the "edit turn" infobox and with a small icon on the node. It would be great if the closure list of adjoining segments would contain a referral to the existence of this turn closure (possibly with a shortcut to edit this turn / turn closure). Could be as simple as "1 turn closure active" or something like that.

Enable merging residential places
Today we cannot directly merge two residential places (or merge a residential place into a public one). There is a workaround: convert residential places to public ones, save them, merge, then convert back to residential if needed. Why not allow merging the direct way?

Re-Center Directional Map
While driving my route yesterday, I accidentally touched the map screen. For the life of me, I couldn’t find a ‘Re-Center’ indicator or get back to the usual directional map. I gave up in frustration and switched back to the GPS map I was using prior to trying Waze again.

"Check and try again"
Save error suggestions should provide useful, actionable info to the editor to help them know what to do to solve the problem.
"Check and try again" isn't helpful. Check what?

add ''HIGHWAY FIRST" to preference
When there are several routes available, I've noticed that Waze may calculate a route that combines both ground roads and highways. This is done to save a little time or reduce toll fees but can result in entering the highway from a distant entrance or exiting the highway too early. This approach leads to more instances of entering and exiting, as well as increased interactions with other drivers, which is unnecessary and more dangerous.
I suggest implementing a "HIGHWAY FIRST" preference. When a highway is available, the system should calculate a route that prioritizes the use of highways, even if…

Directly Navigate To Trauma Center Facility
I wanted to offer a suggestion that could potentially save lives and improve the efficiency of emergency medical care navigation in Georgia.
Currently, Waze provides invaluable assistance in navigating through traffic and finding nearby emergency departments in times of need. However, it's important to note that not all emergency departments are equipped to handle trauma cases. In Georgia, as in many other regions, there are designated trauma centers that offer specialized care for severe injuries.
My suggestion is to enhance Waze's functionality by incorporating information about trauma centers alongside regular emergency departments when users search for medical assistance. By doing…

Oval roundabouts
Hi,
Is it possible to draw a roundabout not only in the horizontal or vertical oval direction, but in all directions?
If you have a roundabout that runs from northeast to southwest oval, you can currently only mark it like this by hand.

I need an app that also tracks my mileage. Since I always use Waze to do all my traveling, can Waze have an added feature to keep track.
