  1. Fixing Map on Two Sides of the Street

    While trying to fix a map, I came to know there is no option to choose between the two sides of the road. How could we fix the restriction without having a separate road ? TNX

  2. have client generate text file of all unallowed moves while driving to view on computer

    I know the system technically does this automatically but I was thinking today as I was going through the cartouche fixing every intersection in my hometown, how it'd be handy if the client generated a text file showing all the things you did that you "shouldn't" have. Almost every intersection in my area has restricted turns that simply don't exist (it's a small town, there's only one turn restriction and no one ways, so i realize this is easier than most) but I was thinking it'd be handy if I could open a txt file generated by the client that…

  3. On a feedback there is no ability to report INCORRECT SPEED LIMITATIONS.IE Waze shows 50 KM/hour in a 40 Km/hour area

    Need to be able to press the golden diamond and notify speed display incorrect. This could be a permanent road change as on the Esplanade , Lindisfarne Tas. where 50 shows in 40 zone, or temporary restriction for roadworks

  4. Ability to Add a "Gate" to a segment of roadway on Waze Map Editor, then include Definitions of that Gate

    Ability to Add a "Gate" to a segment of roadway on Waze Map Editor, then include Definitions of that Gate, such as, Restrictions of Entry (Guests-only, Guests and Residents, Residents-only, Construction-only, All Types Available Access), Restrictions of Roadway (Narrow Road, Unpaved Road, Separate Lane for Guests, etc.), and Times of Guest Availability (Primarily for Gated Communities that employ staff and have to revolve around Holidays, Night Time Restriction Hours, etc.).

  7. expose intents

    for all clients expose an API

    for Android expose:

    • intents
    • broadcast intents
    • application shortcuts

    for the slightly savvier user this allows accelerated navigation by macro (Tasker, Llama, OmniDroid, et al)

    API allows for similar macro- or automation apps on iOS (ipad, iPhone), windows mobile, other platforms surely

    instead of

    ° load waze
    ° click or swipe to open navigate to UI
    ° search for address
    ° select match
    ° go
    ° pick route

    the macro app could accomplish this in

    ONE click

    this is employing merely one of a panoply of time saving waze measures

  8. UK time restrictions (School Streets)

    Monday to Friday
    No entry between 8am and 9:15am."
    And 2:45pm and 4:00pm."

    There are loads of these signs in hundreds of cities all over the UK especially London. Can't we allow for local map editors to save time based restrictions into the map?

  9. Enhancing Navigation by Selectively Considering Planned Road Closures

    One possible solution could be to include a checkbox that allows editors to choose which planned closures are considered so important that they should be taken into account in the navigation before they become effective. This way, editors can select only the closures that are critical for navigation, while excluding those that are not as important.

    For example, in Switzerland these days, the Gotthard Tunnel is closed at night for cleaning. This closure can cause significant disruptions to travel, as the Gotthard Tunnel is an essential link between German-speaking Switzerland and the Italian-speaking Ticino region. Without the tunnel, the detour…

  10. Report london restricted roads (bus only)

    London councils are restricting many roads to buses only. Waze still routs us to these roads casting us to get £65 penalty. If you could make it possible for us to report these roads so they will be avoided by everyone.

  11. Offset turn instruction

    Oftentimes at standard, perpendicular intersections, streets dead-end on one side and pick up again on the other side, offset by just a few dozen feet. For simplicity's sake and for routing, we map a lot of these as plain four-way intersections (like an italicized + sign, you could say).

    But this can be confusing for drivers, who arrive at the intersection with no special instruction and yet are forced to almost fully turn right or left. The simple four-way mapping style is appropriate when the offset would still allow a car's width to pass through without turning, but when there…

  12. Waze for Trucking

    We should have the option to input our clearance height and weight restriction to avoid routes that we can’t navigate. When the gps sends us down a wrong street with bridges with weight restrictions or towards an overpass with low clearance, it’s hard to find a turnaround point. Restricted points can be easily sourced through driver submissions to verify information in that area. There’s been plenty of times that I finish my route and the trucking app we used will automatically kick me out to where I can’t navigate using a predetermined GPS, so I opt to use Waze,…

  13. Evacuation zones

    I know these currently exist via Champs/Coordinators, this is a suggestion on how these work.

    We in NC have had a big issue with DOT not knowing every closed road and considered almost half the state as closed. NC leadership worked with champs and coordinators to get an evacuation zone set up. However, we noticed that routing through this zone was still enabled. Based on this here is 2 suggestions we came up with.

    1 - Route Around - This suggestion is to restrict travel from outside the zone to outside the zone through the zone completely. This is the…

  14. Weekly restrictions

    Weekly restrictions on some street/areas should be considered on the navigation route. We have a lot of streets and avenues that closes after a certain hour, or even during the weekends. We also have some open market on streets on a specific week(end) day. I already had to turn around and try a different route because of that. That, along with the new "restriciton zone" function you just added would make Waze, probably the most interactive and dinamic app ever.

  15. Time-based Map Topology

    In Washington, DC specifically, and in other cities around the United States (and probably around the world), certain turns are illegal between 7:00-9:30 am or 4:00-6:30 pm. More challenging, Rock Creek Park - a major commuter route that is often utilized by Waze - allows southbound traffic only between 7:00-9:30 am on mon-fri, and northbound traffic only between 4:00-6:30 pm on mon-fri. Waze is unable to factor in these restrictions, and becomes of limited usability during these times. Its really frustrating for me, and my partner. Please, please, please fix this? I'm afraid one of our phones might go…

  16. Add a "Military" pass to the options

    Just like there are toll passes, CAV decals, and other options, there should be a "Military" pass and the ability to set "Military" restrictions on segments. This would reduce the amount of through routing on military installations.

    I use android auto and my wife copilots using her phone. Now she cannot use her phone to scan for places to stop or check for obstacles especially in an rv. Waze is now useless for road trips. Back to another map because waze is the only one w this restriction.

  19. Add voice message to Update Request to reduce time reporting map errors to car drivers.

    Currently there is only text comment option which restricts the driver from adding details to the UR. Adding voice message could help to waze editor getting more specific information and minimize message asking additional information.

    This functionality improve URs resolution statistics.

  20. Possibilità di inserire la propria targa in Waze per ottenere suggerimenti di navigazione in base a questa

    Sono sempre più i divieti con restrizioni in base al numero di targa, vedo molti cartelli che consentono il transito in determinati giorni (pari/dispari) subordinatamente ai numeri di targa (pari/dispari), Waze dovrebbe avere la possibilità di inserire la propria targa (o soltanto alcune sue parti o dettagli) nel client e di conseguenza aggiornare l’editor di mappe di Waze per consentire agli editor di applicare restrizioni in base alle targhe, questa funzione già esiste in alcuni paesi e andrebbe abilitata anche in Italia
