Map edit request box
M4 motorway in Sydney Australia is now a toll road (starting from 15 Aug). as a level 1 i cant edit, i looked around the forums but i couldn't find any place to put it up so experienced users can fix this. maybe there could be a map fix reporting so that novice users can access easily (map issue report thing in app doesn't have much options)
As M4 is very a busy road it changed the traffic conditions drastically from the first day of toll, i hope someone can fix this right away. There is the detailed info…

Setting to turn off big purple road names
Many times these "new" big purple road names block the map at intersections and make it difficult to know if you are turning onto the correct street.

Improvement of Road Safety in Colombia
To improve the safety of drivers on the road, especially in Colombia, one should:
-Create a voice notification that suggests slowing down due to dangerous potholes on the road.
- Allow users to "paint" potholes in the road with a color that allows other users to realize their exact position. In the same way, they are allowed to "erase" the potholes that are being repaired.
- Allow the previous download of the route with notifications about potholes to avoid accidents due to loss of connectivity.3 votes -
Option to report change in toll charges
Toll charges change. There should be an option to report these changes.
Eg: Kherki Daula toll going from Delhi to Manesar shows a toll of ₹ 65.00. This is an outdated information. It was increased to ₹ 70 about a year back and is ₹ 80 for private cars now. (India)3 votesAdminElla (Waze Team) (Admin, Waze) responded

Reporting road closures shouldn’t report on a road being driven on
When I was trying to report a road closure, it automatically suggested the closure was for the road I was driving on. Why would that ever be the case?

Report "Good" road conditions
When I report "bad" road conditions, it helps drivers around me avoid an area. Sometimes, when I reach an area that is reported as "bad" it turns out to actually be less congested or jammed up than reported earlier.
It would be very beneficial to everyone using the app if we could report when a road has good conditions. This would meet the goal of providing real time map updates that benefit everyone looking to see what route is best for them based on the conditions.

Live Distance to next toll barrier
Like on the BMW GPS system, where you have an indication of the distance of the next toll barrier.
As the controls are mainly in the 10km before the toll barrier so it is easy to get stopped, this indication would bring much more safety.1 vote -
Add > Hazard > On road > Vehicle Stopped/Broken down
There are numerous times when one comes across a broken down or stalled vehicle in the road, and you end up reporting it as "Other" or even report it as "On Shoulder" which is inaccurate.

Simplify road closed
Marking a road closed can be simplified. Waze knows where it wants me to go, I hit the button saying closure, why am I not asked to confirm that road X is closed? I could do that, probably while trying to figure out where to go and traffic is behind me. There is no way I can figure out why waze is giving me a bunch of arrows pointing everywhere when I just said that road you want me to take is closed. Get me out of here and toward my destination, please..

Rail road crossings.
The routes need an option to avoid Rail Road crossings. The map should ideally show if there is an underpass for the train.

Remove mood icon from road reports
Have you ever changed a mood icon when making a road report? Do you think it is useful to know that someone is angry when the post a traffic jam? This feature takes up room that could be used for other options such as editable quick texts that could be used to enhance road reports.

Motivate road workers to report road closures.
Some how. I don't know how. An ad campaign on trade sites, a viral video. Suggest to any road worker who is digging up the road to first pull their phone out and mark the lane closure or closed road. Most people I know have Waze. I'd bet someone in the team digging up the road would have it on them.

Route through road closures
During last week Verizon had to support the first responders was satellite assets for their communications. We were able to go through road closures. I would like the ability to turn off the reroute around road closures so that the people that can actually go through the road closures can be routed to their destination lot faster because of Waze and other map programs we could not rout ourselves to the locations that we needed to go to, I am Sure that the mini first responders that were at the Ruidoso Fire had the same issue

Road restrictions
Entering this idea as the previous "Road width restrictions" idea is closed for votes as implemented, even though it is not. Probably why its been omitted for several years.
Have waze allow map editors to include road restrictions, including width, height, weight, vehicle type, time based and temporary.
Allow users to include vehicle specifics in their route options.
The existing implementation uses the vehicle registration, but that only works in some countries and not the UK which has a lot of such restrictions.
Other routing apps have these features.

Personal Road Tracker
A personal road tracker that shows you where you’ve driven and what roads you’ve missed. This would be good for road exploration.

Multiple road shield support for main segment name.
Other map devices show multiple road shields for users. Unfortunately Waze will only allow one in the main name. It would be useful for roads that have more than one road shield on them to show them all.
