Speed pumps alert
Lots of speeding pumps are not correctly feasible, would be real helpful if we can add report to the map as well

Exempting some editors from waiting for changes to be applied to the map
Hi .
I don’t know if Waze can exempt some editors who dedicated their lives to editing from the 24-hour waiting period for changes.
Several reasons support this idea:
such as editors having limited time due to family and work commitments.
Some actions require immediate attention, and exceptions could enhance map accuracy, accelerate change application, and impress users with faster updates, attracting new users.Your thoughts stemmed from adding a Gate to a mall, experiencing instant change app, prompting the idea of applying this efficiency to the entire map.
thanks!

I am the GIS Analsyt for Saluda County, SC and I am looking for a way to share my road centerline and address point databases with Waze.
I just completed a readdressing project where our entire unincorporated area of our county was readdressed. I would like to be able to submit the current databases to Waze so that correct information is in the Waze maps. I can't find anywhere to do that.

Horrible new display! Wrecked into a ditch what happened to the exit numbers
WHY would you put the miles left ABOVE the exit you’re supposed to take? And what’s worse is you also make the long names of the exits the SAME font size as the exit number. I’m in Atlanta and almost had a wreck because I was so dang busy reading the stupid street names of the exit and the miles left, I barely could see the actual EXIT NUMBER and had to run into a ditch desperately trying to read where the exit number was. Please reconsider changing it back b cause I was not ready for that. Splot seconds…

Add More Culture / Entertainment Subcategories
It would be nice to have more subcategories for Culter/Entertainment venues. A couple of examples would be Bowling Alley and Arcade. When I look at bowling alleys in Waze they are flagged as the the main category, but I feel having a subcategory for them would help with users locating them.
I don't think this is too much to ask when we have subcategories for Race Track and Theme Park which is significantly fewer in number.
A list of culture/entertainment subcategories that come to mind that would be helpful:
- Bowling Alley
- Arcade
- Mini Golf (Putt-Putt)
- Escape Room

Speed Limit Pinned on Segments
I'm wondering if speed limit pins can be placed on the segment exactly where it shows on the map using street view as a guide. This will make it easier to find speed limits when responding to speed limit UR. I'm thinking of this as more of a visual aid for editing. I would also like a toggle on and off option that can be added on the right map layer panel.

Road layer: if disabled, enable when clicking an issue tracker koi suggestion, not after accepting/rejecting
When a user decides to have the road layer off, there is probably a good reason for that / he knows how to turn it back on when he wants to.
It would make more sense to enable it when the user first clicks on the suggestion on the issue tracker, not when one gets accepted (I think it's not needed, but it would be more beneficial for the unlikely use case "the user switched off the road layer by mistake, is not realizing it and now wants to add segments that are already there4 votes -
Impossible for Level 1 to advance
As a level 1 editor, you need to gain experience to learn how to properly apply edits to the map for the betterment of the community. But as a Level 1 editor, you essentially can't edit anything. I understand not allowing a novice editor to make changes and potentially break the map. I understand there could be malicious actors who could sabotage this platform. But as it stands now, this voluntary map editing feature will die.
The amount of edits needed to move up levels is high. I'm fine with that IF edits are allowed. Sooner or later, the senior…

Keep usernames in WME history instead of "inactive user"
Whenever an user is banned or deletes his/her account or just mysteriously (!!) loses his/her account, all edits in history will be shown under name "inactive user" with a link to 404 page.
Just, for the sake of history, please keep the original username in history and add a little remark that the account is inactive/deleted/etc..

Replace Delete button for Save in the MTE form
When I want to put in a MTE lots of time I press on the delete knop after finishing instead of the save button.
May be the trash button can be used to delete the form and replace the delete button for saving4 votes -
Advance warning for speed limit changes
I drive a tracked vehicle, I need to be at the new speed limit before passing the signs. ie, 60mph dropping to 40mph, if the signs are hidden round the corner, I need to brake harder to slow down in time.
Would it be possible to have either a visible marker on the moving map to display the different speed limit up ahead, or a warning pop up maybe 200yds in advance?

I would like to see a navigation function with detailed diagrams. (Since I am using a translation function, the text may be unnatural.)
nice to meet you. I am editing waze maps in Japan. I don't speak English so I use translation software. Therefore, there may be some parts of the text that are incorrect, so please forgive me.
Japanese car navigation systems have a function that displays a diagram that reproduces the shape of the intersection and which road to turn to when passing through an intersection or junction. However, that feature only supports some intersections.
It looks like the diagram on the right side of the screen in this image: https://panasonic.jp/car/navi/products/HA02_HE02/img/top/pic_01.png
Therefore, I would like to request that waze introduce such…4 votes -

In alerts, add a button to report that there is a fixed speed bump in the road.
In the alerts the user can report, having a button to report that there is a fixed speed bump in the road would be useful.

Natural sequence for house numbers
Is necessary to enable the insertion of house numbers that are a sequence of natural numbers (Ex.: 101, 102, 103, 104, ....), which is very common in several condominiums in Brazil.

Correction- Brazil
In Brazil, using English directions, many highways are designated as "SP-###", which stands for "SãoPaulo". The audio direction is calling out ALL SP highways as "Sulfur mono Phosphide" which is a chemical formula abbreviation S P. Every time an SP hwy is called out, she literally says "sulfur mono phosphide" each time, rather than São Paulo, or simply SP. Needs correction. Very annoying 😑

MyRadar weather integration
Partnering with a quality weather app like MyRadar would be very helpful for not only motorcyclists but for choosing routes on longer trips.

Average Speed Camera Location
Give the ability to pinpoint the location of the camera's that are being used for ASC's.
It adds another layer of information (besides the speed check zone announcement) to the map and avoids users reporting these ANPR-camera's as regular speed camera's.

Implementation of an App to be able to edit | Implementación de un App para poder editar
Hi 👋🏼 I have a suggestion that will change completely to improve the Efficiency of all editors and it is nothing more and nothing less than to implement an app for editors that allows us to edit like google maps only that the advantage of Waze is that it is more secure and reliable by the hierarchies. having the WME tool in our palm gives us the power to edit at any time and anywhere giving more constant tracking and updates without having to wait to get home or somewhere safe.
Cheers!Español:
