  2. Indicate tunnels in the map

    When work in progress associated with the vicinity of tunnels, a clear indication on the map of the tunnel precise location can help identifying if the danger is associated while exiting the tunnel or further away.
    This make a huge difference in the attention and help ease the driving.

  3. Weitere Einschränkungen für Straßen ermöglichen

    Es gibt wichtige Einschränkungen wie: Maximal zulässige Gesamtmasse eines Fahrzeugs, Maximale Fahrzeughöhe, Verbot für bestimmte Fahrzeugklassen (z.B. LKW) . Diese sollten über den Editor eingegeben werden können.

    Debería existir una opción que advirtiera sobre que se aproxima algún cruce peatonal.

  6. Apple Calendar Integration for Smart Navigation Suggestions

    I would like to request an integration between Waze and Apple’s native Calendar app. If I have events scheduled with associated locations, Waze should be able to access this information and proactively suggest navigation — similar to how it currently suggests driving to “Home” or “Work”.

    In Apple CarPlay, there is already a one-tap button to start navigation to Home or Work without opening any menu. This same functionality could be extended to also suggest navigation to the location of the current or upcoming calendar event.

    This automation would significantly enhance the user experience and allow Waze to better integrate…

  7. Save speed history

    Got into a run in with an aggressive cop said I was speeding and other bs, my Waze app was on, it would be the best if I could have seen the history of speed bc I genuinely don't believe I was speeding or it was a fair stop.

  8. Registered adress for work-study student

    It could be cool if you can add school next to the home and work registered places on your Waze for student who work and go to school. I know that you can add a place but just a cool small shortcut to do that

  10. Invisible RTC's and visible TBR's

    Add the ability to control the visibility of TBR and RTC in the client (and define it in WME).
    They say they often use the wrong type, just to match the required visibility.

  11. Allow users to keep hands on the keyboard until done typing

    As a general principal of design, please allow the user to keep both hands on the keyboard until done typing information

    Examples of desired behavior:
    Places - After entering address, use the return/ enter key to activate the "apply" button. Or else automatically apply address changes when tab is used to advance to another field. (Currently, we have to move hand to mouse, click apply, find correct place on keyboard, and then use tab to advance to name field and resume typing)

    Closures - After entering description, use the tab key to advance to "direction" (Currently, this does not work).…

  12. About adding a river in the waze editor

    About adding a river in the waze editor

    It takes a very long time to add a river

    I think it would be easier if you could write a river as easily as you would write a road.

  13. custom layers and map editor colours / themes

    so I have used Waze for a bit and I love seeing the editor map with the coloured roads, but there's a few problems...
    - no support in night mode
    - can't change the colours, even if it's there to match the sign sometimes I want to have custom colours,
    - can't have custom layers, sometimes I want to have the alternate route 1 in Melbourne Australia white or create my own custom routes. a layer I would like to create is a mobile camera colour where a road that has mobile cameras and such shows up as a custom…

  14. Harmonize poor-road nomenclature to "Poor roads"

    Please harmonize the nomenclature Waze uses for roads that may beat up cars or get them dirty.

    Currently, WME allows marking segments as "unpaved", while the companion feature in the app allows the driver to avoid "dirt". But unpaved and dirt are two different things; for example, many would consider a gravel road to be unpaved, but few would call it dirt. Meanwhile, even some paved roads have such poor surface quality that local drivers might wish to avoid them in favor of better alternatives.

    Since the underlying goal is to allow drivers to avoid roads with poor surface quality,…

  15. modify navigation to Bombo Headland and Quarry

    After recently speaking to sightseers looking for Bombo Headland while walking from Darien av I asked them what navigation tool they use. The name Waze came up. Sightseers navigating with Waze to Bombo Headland and/or Quarry are taken into Darien avenue, a residential street. I have recently successfully modified Google maps to direct navigation to the carpark at Bombo Beach which is the intended direction from Kiama council and is closer to these wonderful sightseeing places. Please see example here:- http://ow.ly/MBgg50DFXBp

  16. Restricted areas: L5 users can restrict Rank 6 segments

    With restricted areas, a level 5 (or Level X user depending on what the final level will be when released in production/country setting) could currently add a restriction to a level 6 segment.

    Steps: find a rank 6 segment, draw an area on it => The segment is restricted.

    This may be a WAD (similar to closures for people who have closure permissions), but it's still risky and lowers the protection of the rank system. If the user deletes the area restriction right after the map update, the problem cannot be identified without staff intervention.

  17. Implement reCAPTCHA v3

    With the recent release of version 3 of reCAPTCHA (the thing you may get to see when you log in and the system suspects you may be a bot instead of a user), it would be a great idea to upgrade to the latest version. We've had several users who have had to fill in the CAPTCHA protection every time for some weird reason (I suspect someone in their neighbourhood is to blame), which could be alleviated with the new system. The system now gives you a score between 0 and 1 to gauge how trustworthy the request is. That…

  18. Prefill city when using a street name suggestion

    When we currently enter the name of a street, we get autocompletion suggestions based on existing roads in the neighbourhood. It would help quite a bit if the associated city field would also be filled in whenever we use one of these suggested road names. I know that every street has a city set (or none, on purpose) in the underlying data model, so this shouldn't be a big effort to add.

    (see Mock up 1 + 2 attached )

    I'm still contemplating whether I'll write a userscript for this or not. It's not so easy to hook into those…

  19. Selecting a search result shouldn't reset the zoom level

    When using the WME search box to find a road, it would be really nice if WME could leave the current zoom level well alone rather than always resetting it to level 3.

    Even if it just defaulted back to level 4 that'd be an improvement, but jumping back out to 3 means we then always have to zoom back in at least one step if we want to be able to select a street segment. And even at L4, anyone looking to do some work on point places would then need to zoom in one step more before they…

  20. Improvements in segment selection for road closures

    Sometimes it's necessary to select multiple segments to perform a road closure either for MTE or for a conventional closure. After you have several segments selected, you accidentally select a node and all work is lost (the section disappears). I suggest making a modification that prevents the disappearance of the selection of these segments and notifies the editor that you selected a node and it will not be possible to make the respective closure (before or at the moment of trying to save). Obviously the idea is to give you the opportunity to remove the node from the selection and…
