Filter Segment Closures
It would be great to have the option to filter closures on a segment. e.g. Hide all finished by default, only display active closures, only display upcoming closures etc

Disable Permanent Hazards on Non-Driveable Roads and Pedestrian Paths
Disable the ability for permanent hazards to be snapped to and/or placed on non-driveable roads (runway and railroad) and pedestrian paths (routable, non-routable, and stairway) in WME. PHs intended for driveable roads at junctions with these road/path types can be accidentally placed on the incorrect non-driveable segment. While easy to check and correct when placing, this could preemptively prevent mistakes.

Integration with ODB2 to display car information
It would be great to have the car's features displayed on Waze via an OBD2 connection, at least temperature, speed (already available through GPS), fuel consumption, and oil pressure.
Integration with Car Scanner, for example!

Save the Bumpers: Add a Roadkill Alert!
First of all, thank you for keeping so many of us safe, sane, and (mostly) on the right roads. I’m a devoted Waze user, and I wanted to pitch a tiny-but-mighty upgrade:
Could we please have a specific “Roadkill” hazard option?
Right now we only have “Object on road,” which is fine… except in areas like mine where the “object” is usually a deer, raccoon, porcupine, or some other sweet woodland creature who made a questionable life choice. 🦌🦝🦔
A dedicated “Roadkill” or “Animal on Roadway” alert would help drivers know what kind of surprise they’re about to encounter. It’s…1 vote -
Add "above" number of days since last comment filter to Issue Tracker
In the Issue Tracker, we have "Last 30 Days" and "Last 7 Days" options in the "Last comment time". This filters out the URs since the last comments were before 30 or 7 days.
Can we have another filter for "Above <number> of Days" ago?
The number of days on the Last and Above options should be configurable for the user. As such, if I enter 3, I should see all URs with Last Comment that was made more than 3 days ago.
We can use a between-dates filter, but this must be changed daily. If we have the above…

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

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).

Ability to add more than 4 fields in the Address box
Please give us the ability to create more than 4 address fields. and make it so that editors can set custom number of fields according to their own area.
Right now waze has four boxes for address: Street, City, State, Country.
Not all addresses in the world work quite exactly like this so please
I would like to suggest waze allow users to create custom fields and name them and Country coordinators set the limit of fields in each city and country.
So we can have many fields like:
Street
Sector
Phase
Town
City
District
State
etc.

Traffic Event closure selection
When selecting the closures tab, there should be a hierarchy for the default closures displayed. If there are no verified closures (such as when copying a Traffic Event), the list should switch to the Unverified closures list. If there are no verified or unverified closures, the list should default to the failed closures.

None as default for street and city in new segments
Submitted on behalf of the IL community: Why isn't a default value of "no street", "no city" entered in the address field of a new segment? New editors don't always fill out the address field and it remains "no address", creating a need to contact them and explain to them how to choose "no" for the street name.

Copy button for segment/place address
Very often you have to search info for address while editing maps and it could be made a lot easier by adding a copy button to copy address on properties panel. Or maybe 2 buttons, 1st for just the street name, 2nd for whole address.

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.

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…

Vehicle Height --> RV
Many RVs are much taller (and wider) than the typical passenger vehicles. Allowing the user to enter the vehicle height (and width) will assist when traveling as many bridges and roads do not accommodate Motorhomes, Large 5th Wheels / Trailers, etc.

To have a certain classification of road/highway to have a connection with at or higher highway classification
Some roads on Waze have highway classifications that do not continue. For example, a road close to me has a minor highway classification; when it reaches a round-about, it loses that classification, but in all directions, that classification does not have a connection. These roads should have its particular classification end at another road with the same or higher classification.

Editors who have several edits for review and are accepted or rejected to view which one of their edits was either accepted or rejected.
I have several edits subject for review. Some of them have been reviewed, but it won't tell me which edit was reviewed. We should have an option to view which of those edits was reviewed and the option to chat with the person who reviewed it for questions about their decision.

It would be great to show the name of the street you're currently on, as well as that of the next turn. Also, show the name of the street you're on when not in navigation mode.
