Customize "Services" checkboxes by Category
Most Places have a set of checkboxes under Additional Information that are relevant for restaurants, but are just silly for almost any other Category. It should be possible to provide relevant services that are different based on the Category of the Place. This will enhance the information saved for most non-restaurant Places and make WME (and Waze) more relevant.

Traffic data layers in WME for advanced editors
It would be useful for editors investigating routing issues and making mapping decisions to have a configurable traffic data layer in WME that could show a variety of information collected from drivers. This would include statistics such as the average number of Wazers driving on the segment per day, speed percentiles for drivers on the segment, the "freeflow" speed that Waze is using in routing, and the amount of times that the routing server has used the segment. It would also be useful for editors to be able to see locations where the app consistently has trouble snapping drivers to…

Parking along with the Parking area code and Charging info would be helpful
Showing the nearest Parking close to destination is Cool, would be good to also see the Parking area code and if that has Charging points (wherever applicable) -
I am in Stockholm, I usually have to struggle understanding the parking code, for which I can check the charges before I travel.
With Electric cars becoming more popular, it would be great to have the Parking code combined with a Mark highlighting if cars can be charged.
Example Stockholm P - which allows free charging or Mer or Incharge which are paid. This info will be really helpful.
That way can…5 votes -
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.

Make route color in Apple CarPlay adjustable
I have a problem with the contrast of the map when using Apple CarPlay. On my iPhone the contrast is excellent and the route I have to follow is easy to distinguish from the rest on the map.
On the display in the car, the contrast between the route to be followed and the other map elements appears to be very poor. This means you have to pay close attention to which line on the map is your route. As a result, attention is diverted too much from the road.
My proposal is to make the colors of the route…5 votes -

Hallo. Wäre ein Option für Grenzübergang zu sperren nicht schlecht.
Hallo. Wäre ein Option für Grenzübergang zu sperren nicht schlecht.
Mit Einsatzfahrzeug darf ich nicht über die Grenze fahren, aber manchmal führt die Navi mich dort durch. Und manchmal verbietet auch keine andere Option.
Wie ich mich errinere, in iGo Navigation war diese Option verfügbar.
Ich glaube könnten wir hier auch nutzen.5 votes -
Dead End Signs
Very important to have a dead end sign on the map before heading down that street, since many times waze will recommend certain roads even though it’s a dead end. Hope this was helpful and becomes a feature. Thank you.

"Take me back the same way I came!"
"Take me back the same way I came!" Garmin has such an option and it is very useful, especially when the driver gets lost. It can be turned on and off at will.

Allow editors to view restrictions (view only) regardless of their lock level.
Allow editors to view segment restrictions (view only) regardless of their lock level. This would be informative and a learning tool as to how advanced editors set up segment restrictions correctly.

Color scheme
On highways the exit matters a lot not being able to read an exit because of the color scheme used by waze make us skip the exit and go to next exit. Surprisingly not always but sometimes the color for exits is white letters with yellow/ orange background which makes it hard to read especially at night.
Kindly stick to black letters on bule background or something thing similar to help read the exit sign
Thanks a lot
May be you can add an option to pick your own colour scheme that may help choose the display colour what they…5 votes -

Improvement for lanes
I am attaching a suggestion here to allow adding lanes in node that refer to a "far turn". Implementing this suggestion will solve all the problems of setting lanes (including extreme complicated junctions, H and # junctions) without the need for any heuristics! It will work at any junctions even if it is extremely complex with many auxiliary segments.
In the WME:
When defining lanes to a segment, turns are automatically displayed for the end of the segment with the segment names to which they refer.
My suggestion is to add an option for adding to lanes a "far turns".…5 votes -

Currently, WME only shows the date the map comment was created and then the date it was last edited. The details in the history pane that is shown for places and road segments is not currently available for map comments.

Please include option to avoid steep hills. With lockdown, driving isn’t an everyday thing so driving a manual car is getting harder and harder.
