Low clearance road
Good morning, everyone!
I would like to suggest adding a “low-clearance road” warning or avoidance option in Waze. Some roads are not suitable for sports cars or vehicles with low ground clearance, and ending up on one can cause drivers to get stuck, leading to backups or unnecessary delays for others who follow the same route.
It would be very helpful if Waze offered an option - when starting a drive - to avoid low-clearance roads, similar to avoiding dirt roads or tolls. This would improve routing accuracy, prevent traffic issues, and help protect vehicles that are more sensitive to…1 vote -
Sub selection of points under one POI umbrella. Like a mall with multiple entrance points
If i choose to go to a mall, it takes me to main entrance. But a user might wish to go to a specific gate of the mall, In this case, once a user selects mother POI, a popup of gates appears for user to choose

Add option to make restrictions visible similar to closures
This goes together with a suggestion on the APP side to add an option to display some restricted segments.
Since there is no easy way to add closures based on a schedule, there are times it would be nice to have restrictions that can be scheduled show in the app similar to a closure. That way someone driving without a route will have the visual cue like a closure.

Add an Option to keep or Removed Wazer icon from URs
With the new Release, we got a new UR icon design that has the Wazer on it, and i have seen many different opinions about it.
i think it would be great to have an option to decide how you want your URs to look, either have the Wazer on it or without the Wazer on it. as there is a lot of editors that like the new look, but there are also some that would like to have it as before. so this would solve this problem without removing the new look of the URs.9 votes -
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.

Adding stops to route be able to view on map
It would be extremely helpful to be able to view the locations of possible added stops along your route to be able to better visualize which location would be best and see how far off the route it is or how close/far from the original destination.

Choose which alerts are voiced when you have sound on
When you have the sound on for navigation, it would be great to choose which alerts to actually have the navigation voice. When on a long drive and trying to listen to music it can be very annoying to have your songs interrupted every few minutes because of a car on the shoulder.

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…

Let Editors set their preferred date format in WME Settings
Different regions of the world use different date/time formats, and even within some regions individuals may have their own preference for a date format that's most comfortable for them. Rather than have WME use one format for entering and displaying dates, allow the user to configure their preferred format on the WME Settings page, the same as configuring Imperial vs. Metric units. WME should then honor that date format on all date entry and display fields.
Sample date formats to offer could include "dd-mm-yyyy", "mm/dd/yyyy", or my preference for a default the ISO 8601 "yyyy-mm-dd" international standard format. I suggest…

(Emergency Service) Driving Forward on the current road | Coming from Behind
Hey everyone,
There have been many times while driving when an ambulance or police car comes up behind me, or I notice one driving ahead in the same direction. In those moments, I wish Waze had a quick way to alert other drivers.
I think it’d be great to add a “Police driving ahead” or “Ambulance driving ahead” report option. That way, users can warn drivers in front that an emergency vehicle is coming toward them or traveling along the same route.
It sounds simple, but I’ve had plenty of situations where I really wished I could report it. This…

Provide ample time to make an exit if you have to make a choice of right or left exit
Avoid people having to miss their exit because you don’t provide enough time and/or lane guidance ahead of time. Was supposed to go left on an exit that had left/right option and Waze did not tell me ahead of time and almost missed their exit.

User defined low speed input for better accuracy in journey time.
Not all vehicles can travel at the posted speed limit. Some are limited by type or load. It would be cool if Waze could accommodate this and give an accurate ETA based on the planned speed of the vehicle, rather than the posted limit. For example, the maximum legal speed limit for any vehicle towing a trailer is 80 km/h on all roads in Ireland. Similar restrictions apply to HGV's. A reduced speed field at the start of a route plan would be great for all those drivers.

Add “Pedestrian Crossing Zone” Warning in WME Map Editor
💡 Idea Description:
I suggest adding a new warning option in the WME Map Editor named “Pedestrian Crossing Zone” to be used in areas with frequent pedestrian movement, such as:
Local markets and shopping centers
Hospitals and medical facilities
Schools and universities
Parks and recreational areas
In reality, there are visible pedestrian crossing signs in these places, but this warning option does not currently exist in WME. As a result, drivers are not alerted to slow down or pay attention to crossing pedestrians in these locations.
🚗 Importance of the Suggestion:
Adding this warning will help drivers to:
Reduce speed…

Route under Sightseeing aspects
If you're choosing a route , waze suggests it always under the aspect of as-fast-as-possible aspects. I got time and am looking for a route under sightseeing aspects, For me it does'nt matter if the route lasts 2 hours longer. i'll make a rest in a nice littel town in a café and are enjoying the landscape.
So we have to use our analog paper map, waze is not really helpfull.
Please give the possibility, to choose a route under touristic aspects.3 votes
