Add neighborhoods to places
Many cities have stores with many locations around the city. These can be hard to distinguish in Waze, since people might not be familiar with the specific street name, and some countries have many streets with no name or similar names. Just as places are assigned to cities, it should also be possible to assign them to a neighborhood (defined based on community guidelines), so it's easier to find and identify places.
A recent feature allows for neighborhoods from Google to appear in search results, but this request is to define and manage neighborhood areas directly in the WME, either…

Event Announcements
Currently, event announcements remain displayed even after the event has ended.
Unless they are deleted manually, they stay on the screen and make it difficult to view new announcements.Therefore, I would like to request the addition of a feature that automatically deletes event announcements once they have ended.

Batch Input Road Closures
We have several large construction projects that will span several months, with mostly repeating road closures (Ex: Monday-Friday, 7AM-3PM). The only way I'm aware of to add these is by each individual day, then repeating next day, which gets tiring. There should be an option to bulk upload a closure, selecting the days of the week (Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Etc.) and the time it applies. There would also need to be an option to remove a closure on a specific day (Ex: Holidays).

Allow segment suggestions on segments with permanent hazards
Well its not possible to suggest edits when a segment has hazards like speed bumps. Its anoying when we are changing smt like direction of an entire street and some of the segments have hazards.

long-term construction & speed limit changes
offer long term road work or detour options.. Especially for areas of high volume housing development and infrastructure changes.

Add a hidden stop sign permanent hazard.
I think it would improve user safety if we were able to label hidden/hard to see stop signs. For example stop signs behind a bush, after a blind curve, or awkwardly placed signs.

Allow reporting from iPhone while Waze is connected to CarPlay
I would like to request the ability to submit reports directly from the iPhone, even while CarPlay is active.
This would be useful for passengers or in situations where interacting with the CarPlay screen is not practical.6 votes -
Post-Trip Summary & Route Comparison
I would like to request a "Trip Summary" card that appears automatically upon reaching a destination. Currently, the navigation simply ends, and valuable driving data is lost.
Proposed Metrics to Display:
- Performance: Distance, Total Time, Avg/Max Speed.Efficiency: Estimated fuel/battery cost for the trip.
Traffic Insight: Moving time vs. Stopped time (idling/traffic).
Smart Comparison Feature: For frequent routes (specifically "Home" to "Work" and vice versa), the summary should include a comparison against the user's historical average.
Example: "You arrived 3 minutes faster than your average commute."
Benefit: This would help users analyze their driving habits, optimize their commute times,…

Let us filter shown closures on the map after date
Recently due to the carnival festivals in south germany, where you have to close multiple segments in big areas on multiple different days and times, I have noticed that it sometimes gets confusing on which segments you have already closed for which day.
For example when I put a closure for the 15th Feb. then the segment appears with the gray icon showing that there is a upcoming closure. If the whole inner-city gets closed then ALL segments will have that gray icon showing an upcoming closure but in this scenario I also need to close ALL these segments for…

Keep Google Map Links Import
Matching Feed imports to Waze places should keep Google Maps links placed by editors. Currently, when matching feed runs, the Waze place is stripped of linked Google places. Alternatively, if the businesses are the clients of matching feed, Waze could make matching feed a bundled service covering Waze and Google Maps.

Add In Car notification for Map Issues Request
With prevalence of In Car integration for Waze the large number of Map Issue being reported is done via Android Auto or Car Play.
When editors or as of now automated ping requests additional information there is no notification to the User through the In Car integration that this has occurred the user will need to check email through which they can't reply or the app, which most in car users don't open.
Can we have the notification for the user in car and what would be even more helpful is to give user ability to reply via voice to…

WME EVENT Page Upgrade Suggestion
Hello. I would like to suggest an improvement to Events: it should be possible, directly within the Event Page, to manage the associated road closure(s) by enabling or disabling them. Additionally, it would be useful to define new schedules for each closure—specifically, if a closure is extended, the Event duration itself should automatically update to match, even if it’s just one or a small part of the multiple associated closures. Thank you.

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!

Use AI to see the live traffic levels in each turn lane/lanes going to different major roads
Use AI to see the live traffic levels in each lane based on user data and traffic movement. This could be a turn lane to turn left/right, or say if lanes 1&2 go to the M25 and 3&4 carry onto the A3. As the people who go to the M25 is queueing, AI could determine the estimated travel times by people who have already sat in the traffic queue by which direction they end up going.
This will give more accurate arrival times and better routes for the user.

Visual only Traffic Lights
Hi Waze Team and Community,
I’d like to suggest the implementation of a visual-only Permanent Hazard for traffic lights (eg. located at pedestrian crossings that are not part of an intersection or junction).
Currently, to map a traffic light, we often have to split segments to create a junction. However, on long roads with simple pedestrian crossings, "breaking" the segment can negatively impact routing data and unnecessarily complicate the map.
Having a specific "Traffic Light" hazard (similar to the "Red Light Camera" but without the enforcement/fine implication) would allow:
Better driver awareness of upcoming stops for pedestrians.
Cleaner map geometry,…6 votes -
Multiple sets of hours
Add the capability for editors to add multiple sets of hours for an establishment. This feature would be especially beneficial for banks and pharmacies. At banks, ATMs are often open 24/7, while human tellers, consultants, notaries, and other banking personnel are not at banks 24/7. At pharmacies, the convenience store and the pharmacy itself mostly have different hours. Finally, there are some establishments with delivery hours and/or drive-thru hours that differ from the establishment's standard operating hours.
6 votesGreat thinking! We’ll share with the team; they’re always interested in new feature ideas.

2D Hazards
I'm not sure if this sort of thing will be covered in Permanent Hazards development, but it would be very handy to be able to define an area polygon to which a hazard report would apply.
To me, the obvious application would be for prolonged construction zones where roads remain open but users ought to be made aware of an issue ahead.
How I see this working:
An editor would draw a polygon over the affected area and then choose a hazard type and add an optional comment to the polygon. It should be possible to define schedules and an…6 votes
