Drive with your friend(s) or Family
You can drive with your friends or family if you have a 2 or more vehicle convoy. This means if you loose a convoy member, you can find them on the map, and then set a route. All while your original route stays in a queue. You can also sent your friend(s) or family the route so they can set it up on their phone, car play or android auto.

Link Google place to a residential place in Waze
Many addresses in the Google Maps are marked far away from real locations, and it badly affects user experience in Waze. Today we only can link such wrong addresses to public places in WME. It will be more reasonable to allow linking them to residential places.

Possibility for editors to create map update requests, for changes that need higher level editors.
Many times I can see needed changes or map problems that are prohibited for my level to edit or fix. But there is no option to report these issues to the higher levels, inside the map editor.
Should I have to drive there and create a map issue report?9 votes -
Excluding Specific Road Types in Polygons Based Events
I would like to propose an improvement to the "Polygons Based Events" by adding an option to exclude certain types of roads, similar to the school zone alerts.
In my case, I want to set up a PBE for major roadworks, but a highway crosses at a lower level and will be notified of this event even though it is not affected.

Cambiar icono en modo moto
In Car mode, you can change the icon to another one. But in MOTORCYCLE mode, this is not possible and a very thin motorcycle (2D) appears that blends in with the road and is difficult to see easily when riding a motorcycle.
You should be able to change to a more visible one, such as the arrow or triangle that stands out more. This way, you will avoid taking your eyes off the road more than necessary.9 votes -
Automatically add street when adding a point location
As a waze level 2 editor, when adding a residential place, I'd like for the street to be automatically pre-filled with the closest segment in the map.
I have been adding a lot of residential places in my zone and I have to copy the street name and paste in each place I add. This process would be more expedite if street name is filled with the closest segment on the map and would avoid errors of places in streets different than the one they are put into.

Validation workflow & access to all functions
Hello,
I'm a current level 3 Area Manager and every day I have to deal with bottlenecks because I don't have the necessary level to make changes.
So I have to find a L4 or L5 to do it, explain it to them and get the result.
This is very time-consuming and somewhat archaic these days.I'd like to suggest the following:
Be able to give all editors access to all functions or perhaps from L2 or L3 if we want there to be a minimum of editing experience. As well as adding a validation workflow for functions that currently…9 votes -
Better support for Rural map editors
I live in a VERY rural area. Quite often, I'll be driving but not get EA credit because I didn't have cell service. I can literally drive for 50+mi without any cell coverage. I drove 530 miles two days ago and maybe got credit for half of it.
I'd like it if map editors would have the ability to turn on some sort of feature in the app that saves their location history until cell service is restored. Also, as I have seen others suggest, a larger EA radius from a given drive would be very helpful out here as…

Streamlining changes for adding house numbers
I'd like to suggest two related changes regarding the addition of house numbers. These are small changes, but in UI design, frictions like this can add up when one is performing the same action over and over.
- Always keep the text field active when selecting a house number point
After clicking to add a house number, the text field to enter the number is automatically active and can be typed in (which is great!) But, when clicking and dragging either the house number itself or the entry point, the cursor goes away, and one has to click the number field…

Please add Japanese "Stop" signs and pedestrian crossings
In Japan, pedestrians are required to stop at places where there are stop signs and at crosswalks where there are pedestrians about to cross. In addition, pedestrians are required to slow down when crossing a crosswalk where it is unclear whether there are pedestrians about to cross. Violating these rules will result in police crackdowns and penalties such as fines being imposed on drivers. Currently, there are also "stop" cameras installed, but I understand that these are intended to draw attention to crackdown points. Instead, I would like to see signs and indications that there are crosswalks.

Select and edit multiple RPPs
When you have a street name changed, HN numbers don't need to be modified.
When you have a street with many RPP, you have to change the street name in each RPP, one by one.
This is also the argument of some publishers who do not want to use residentialIt should be interesting to be able to select many RPP of the same street (with the control key for exemple or an option on the segment) to be able to change the street name in one time and in each RPP.

Update links in WME footer - "Get help" and "Editing forum"
In the footer of WME are two links: "Get help" and "Editing forum", which are out of date.
Get help - Redirects to Waze Discuss home page instead of Wazeopedia content on Waze Discuss
Editing forum - The link works currently, but it uses the old phpbb forum link instead of Waze Discuss. Update from http://www.waze.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=8 to https://www.waze.com/discuss/c/editors/waze-map-editors-topics/4930
Low priority fix, I only post this to make my OCD happy.

Allowing a way to requalify a part of a road to pedestrian and pedestrian to road..
A road was re-qualified as pedestrian, but a part of it is still drivable for local.
I was able do split the road in two parts.
But I had to add a new road path for vehicles.
And alter the pedestrian path elsewhere (where there is a pedestrian path) in the same area.The idea is to split a road or a pedestrian path in two or more and be able to switch from one to the other on a part of the path.

Suggestion: Expand “School Zones” into a Broader “Sensitive Areas” System
Waze already has a great and effective feature: School Zones.
Instead of creating new isolated features, I’d like to suggest expanding this existing model into a broader category called “Sensitive Areas.”
The idea is to reuse the same zone logic (visual boundary + contextual alert) and apply it to other high-attention environments.
Possible New Zone Types:
- Hospital Areas
Frequent ambulance traffic
High pedestrian flow
Need for increased driver awareness
Example alert:
“You are entering a hospital area.”
- Flood-Prone Areas
Roads with recurring flooding history
Could trigger alerts during heavy rain
Prevent vehicle damage and improve routing trust
Example alert:
“This…

Add a flag to RTC to warn about the approaching final date
An editor should be able to "subscribe" to a specific RTC in order to receive a note message when the RTC is approaching its final date or is cancelled before the final date.

Prevent segment node merging in certain cases
Just like when the speed limit or name differs between two segments we are trying to merge, merging segments by deleting a node should not be allowed if:
- the segment elevations are different
- the number of lanes is different
- segment alternate addresses are different (or one does not contain an alternate address and one does)
The goal is to prevent segment elevation or routing errors when cleaning up seemingly unnecessary junction nodes in an area.
I might be forgetting some cases, so please feel free to add any relevant ones in the comments!
