  1. Parking blue zone

    In the Netherlands, but also in other countries, there are parking spaces that you can use for a certain period of time (eg for a maximum time). Blue zone parking spaces. I would like to have an option for this in WME so that it can be checked.

    If more information is needed, please let me know.

  2. Clear direction cache when WME edits are made

    Often when WME edits are made affecting routing to an address, the Wazer still gets the same incorrect routing because the old data is cached. Then editors get another UR because the Wazer thinks the changes were never made, and we have to explain how to clear the incorrect data from the cache. That can be a problem for those who are technologically-challenged. Not to mention time-consuming for editors who have to walk them through it, sometimes exchanging multiple messages with the Wazer. Can Wazedev find a way to automatically clear incorrect data from the cache when edits have been…

  3. Add click now required for adding external provider link in WME

    After clicking on a Google place link, we now have to click add, instead of clicking on the Google place in the populated menu. This did not used to be the case and now requires an additional step.
    Please work to remove clicks, not add them unnecessarily.

  4. Remove screen size change

    https://www.waze.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=2293182#p2293182

    The WME screen size was changed, causing you to have to scroll up/down to see the full WME screen.

  5. When using the ruler tool in WME, please make nearby geometry handles visible.

    Currently, it is only possible to see the geometry handles when an object is selected for editing and the mouse cursor is very close. Most of the time the ruler tool is used, it is to measure the distance between nodes and/or geometry handles. It would be immensely helpful to be able to see them while using the ruler tool.

  7. Allow Editors to Set Functional Status of EV Charging Stations

    When mapping EVCS, I've noticed that there are comment sections on charging stations like PlugShare that allow users to share their experience using the stations, specifically if it's working or not. Would like to propose that apart from the comments, we can add in a functionality for editors to set the status of these charging stations based on user reports or own knowledge. As a result, users can see clearly the status of each charging station even before they navigate to the charging station, saving frustration when the station is unserviceable. Users should also be given the option to either…

  8. Allow marking issues unread from the Issue Tracker

    Currently, editors can "star" and "unstar" individual issues from the Issue Tracker panel, but there is no similar way to mark issues "read" or "unread". Once an issue is "read," you need to open it and then mark it unread from the issue's interface. Suggestion: add a button next to the star to allow toggling each issue's read/unread status.

  11. Road height restriction.

    To display road height restrictions for all tp yoe of vehicles. Some waze users does not select type of vehicle. At certain road, there are height restriction, if there is a notification when waze navigate trhough fastest routes it would be helpful for drivers.

  12. Ability to select metric for distance tool and imperial for speed limits

    This request is specific to the editor environment.

    As I am in the UK, I must have speed limits in mph, so have no choice but to select Imperial in my settings.

    However, this then causes the distance tool "Ruler" to measure in feet, however I want to measure in metres as that is what all the legal documents (Traffic Regulation Orders) show the new highway changes in.

    At the moment, I am having to resort to google to translate the metres to feet value in order to use the Ruler, and would prefer it if Waze would show the…

  13. Acknowledge really steep gradients in mapping

    I drove to and from Lake District this weekend and there was a road with a sign that restricts it to only 'light vehicles and motorcycles' as well as no tracffic at all in winter conditons. It was a 30%/1:3 gradient and in perfect conditions my front wheels were slipping going up the slope. Any heavier cars may struggle, especially if it rains. There should be an option to avoid these sort of roads or for editors to atleast be able to add permanent hazards.

  14. Make Issue Tracker keyboard (next/previous) shortcuts more prominent

    Some editors still have difficulty using the Issue Tracker, and some are totally against it, preferring to use the UR-MP script. One reason this may be the case is that it's not completely obvious how to navigate between the issues.

    My suggestion is to make the Keyboard Shortcuts for "Next" and "Previous Issues" more prominent, showing them at the top of the Issue Tracker panel. This may encourage more editors to use the feature.

  15. Make hazard potholes permanent

    Dear Waze Team,

    Please consider adding the option to mark potholes as permanent hazards, similar to how permanent speed cameras are handled. In South Africa, many potholes remain unrepaired for months or even years. Making these hazards visible on a long-term basis would significantly improve road safety and help drivers avoid costly damage, accidents, and injuries.

    This feature could make a real difference in countries where road maintenance is lacking, and it aligns perfectly with Waze’s mission to improve driving experiences through community-driven insights.

    Thank you for your consideration!

  16. Improve Segment History Reporting of Turns

    Description: Currently when editors make most changes to a turn between two segments the segment history simply shows "Turn onto X road updated". It would be much more helpful if we could easily tell what was changed about that turn. Was is a turn instruction override (TIO)? A difficult turn? Time-based restrictions? There was a change in a value associated with the data model of that segment, so it's very much possible to have the segment history be more specific.

    In this image there are three entries for turn updates to the same turn, but other than the TIO there…

  17. Add keyboard shortcuts for setting a voice prompt override when a turn is selected

    Please allow setting the turn override with a keyboard shortcut, when the turn popup is shown.

    Define a set of shortcuts for all possible values (or at least for the main common ones, continue, turn left, turn right, u-turn)
    You can show them on the dropdown, so that people know what key to use.
    Example: https://ibb.co/hHZsXtM

    This would save a lot of clicks (and would more likely prevent mistakes of setting the opposite direction) in particular when setting them over roundabouts.

  18. Autodetect road types

    Road classification seems to be a large source of disagreement and unecessary effort between map editors, part because we know it is used for routing.

    The classification should be autodetected based on average speeds and not editable by users, like average speed.

  19. Cropping tool for attached images

    While adding images from the editor is a bad idea, it could be useful to have the ability to crop images. This could allow generally good image to be improved and kept instead of removed.

  20. Select left hand drive or right hand drive vehicle

    My car is a left hand drive vehicle however while using the app on an android headunit the directions are on the left side of the screen while the map is on the right hand side of the screen which is very hard to see. I suggest an option if your car is a left hand drive vehicle to swap these two and revert back if it is a right hand drive vehicle.
