Separators and Decimal Signs per Language
I noticed that in the Waze Editor, under Trips and Segment Lengths, there is a number where the sign for a decimal is a .
For example: At 175 kilometers and 300 meters it says: 175.300 km
In the Netherlands, for example, we use different signs to indicate decimals.
At 1000 meters we do: 1.000 meters
At 25 kilometers and 200 meters we do: 25,200 km (or 25.200 meters).For example, you see 844 meters for the lengths of segments. If you then click on a segment, it suddenly says 1.340 km. For us in the Netherlands, that is 1340…

Invert PUR Filter by type
With the latest release of WME, we can now filter place update requests (PURs) by type. There should be an option to invert the filter. By doing this, I can select one type of PUR and show everything except that type.
65 votesGreat timing! We’re currently working on the option to invert the filter. Keep an eye out for updates on the WME.

Learn and adapt to sequential traffic light switching
In Germany, switching traffic lights in sequence is a common thing ("Grüne Welle" - green wave). At some intersections, it would be great if the sequencing pattern is recognized by an algorithm to guide wazers based on their position in the traffic light sequencing, i.e. that on a long straight, the signal to turn left is only active in the first 30sec after turning green.

Suburb borders that add suburbs to segments automatically
Right now, every time we make a new segment on the map, we have to assign it to a suburb manually. Not only is this tedious, but it's prone to mistakes by editors, especially when editing near a suburb border.
But, in many countries, suburbs have a fixed area, and all roads inside that suburb's area will be part of that suburb.
If map editors were able to simply define the borders of each suburb in a state or country, then Waze could automatically assign any segment to the correct suburb, just by checking which suburb's area the segment falls…

Show HN stop points for all levels
When viewing a road that is locked to a higher level, it is not possible to view the HN stop points. This makes it impossible to troubleshoot the issue without requesting an unlock that might not be required if nothing needs to be edited. Being able to view the stop point even when I can't edit would let me know if the HN needs to be changed before I request an unlock.

Add map comments to the "All issues" section
It would be great to have all map comments in one place, and the all issues sections seems perfect for this. Include some filters like comment type (point, area), comment expiration date, comment creator (me, other), etc.

Signposts and crossings
The possibility of adding signage points and pedestrian and cycle crossings, as on open street map.
Signage is often unclear, especially horizontal signs during road resurfacing work. It would be helpful if the navigator warned of pedestrian crossings and signals such as giving way and stop signs.1 vote -

Allow closing/seeing closures on red turns
Why?
I got a UR with: from here you can only turn right.
- I changed the wrong turns from green to red.
- I would like to close the one I changed to have the change effective immediately instead of the next map update.The same is currently possible for one-way segments (you can close the other direction).

Bring back pave roads
Bring back the "Pave Road" function in the phone app.
If this makes a lot of duplicate roads, even them out, or make it easy to remove the wrong ones/ keep the good one..
Also bring back the "Pacman-style road verification" that was here 10 years ago.

Commercial vehicle restricted Roads
Rotherhithe tunnel in London is restricted. Commercial vehicles are not allowed to use it, but Waze always routes you through. People are getting hefty fines when they follow the guidance from Waze and if there are road closures on a usual river crossing, it always sends you through here.
I'm sure there are many commercial vehicle restricted roads that Waze routes you through, especially in London.
Please, PLEASE! look into having a commercial vehicle option. You've got motorbikes, private, EVs and taxis. How about you look after the ones that drive as part of their job.
I hope this gets…

Indiquer les voies bloquées dans l'onglet "Fermetures" de WME
Bonjour,
Serait-il possible d’ajouter une option dans l'onglet "Fermetures" de Waze Map Editor pour indiquer précisément quelle voie est bloquée ? Cela permettrait d’utiliser les flèches de l'onglet "Voies et largeur" pour spécifier les fermetures plus en détail.
Merci !

Issue Tracker Option ~ Add ability to have Map Area and Managed Area at same time
We need the ability to have the "Map area" option selected along with either the "Managed area" or "Specific location" option selected.
Why you may ask?
This just happened to me.
I keep my settings as "Managed area" or "Specific location" so that I can work URs, PURs, etc anywhere any my managed area or State without being at a specific map area
Someone contacts me by chat for assistance in a location that is not in my managed area or specific location (whichever I have set) and I help them out. Reporter is a happy camper.
Since I don't…

Editor visibility default state should be Visible (not invisible)
Problem Description:
I frequently see my status as invisible when logging into WME, even after I have previously explicitly set it to visible. The visibility appears to reset back to invisible after some time has elapsed, maybe a day or more, or perhaps it resets after session expiry. I am not certain exactly what criteria causes the visibility to reset back to invisible. I would much prefer to remain visible in WME without having to repeatedly check and manually set myself back to visible each time I authenticate or access WME.Requested Solution:
Please adjust the default value or default…48 votes -
Emergency services
An exciting enhancement for the Waze Map Editor could be the addition of markers for emergency service stations and permanent buildings, categorized into two types:
Interactive markers (a single tap on any icon adds it to your route):
- Hospitals: Represented by a red and white "H".
- Police stations: Displayed as a house outline with a badge inside.
- Fire stations: Depicted as a house outline with a fire axe or fire truck inside.Passive icons:
- Schools: Highlighted with a zone area around them. When a route passes through, it triggers an alert similar to "Road hazard ahead".3 votes -
Improve/change the error message
Improve/change the error message when low level editors tries to delete the house number on streets with higher locks. Now we got "Error saving, try later" message. It gives, to editor, no idea of what the problem is, and the user may thinks that's a WME bug. By changing this message, it will give to editor and mentor/higher levels editor's more information to understand where the problem lies.
40 votesThanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

Update gas prices where Waze venue is linked to GM place via external provider
Idea by reivaxX162.
Around the globe, Google Maps has already rolled out gas station prices. Many gas stations mapped in Waze are linked to GM via the external provider setting. Waze could automatically update the Waze gas prices where it is linked via the external provider. This would allow automatic price updates globally with little ease, and leverage the work GM has already done.
