Set user level using points
I've been an active user on waze for over 10 years reporting items like police cams and intermittent construction. In order to make any edits to the map requires level 3 which currently requires 5000 edits. Add an additional way to achieve higher levels based on user points. For example I have 239,582 points and it doesn't seem they are really useful for anything.

Request: Add adjustable handle size as a standard WME feature
Hi Waze team,
The handles for roads and Places in WME are currently very small, which makes them difficult to grab accurately.
Beginners often struggle with precise editing, and even detail‑oriented editors would benefit from being able to adjust the handle size to match their workflow.I would like to request that WME include the following as a standard feature:
Larger default handle sizes, or
A setting that allows users to adjust handle size
Adding this feature would improve usability for all editors and reduce frustration, especially for new contributors.
Thank you for considering this enhancement.6 votes -
when reporting errors on the map, there is no option to correct speed limits that are incorrectly shown by waze
If you notice a wrong speed limit indicated by Waze, there is no easy option on the app to report or even correct the speed limit even if you are seeing it as a perm change and not a temporary decrease speed limit

Show Where Community Schedules Are Used
In the Community Schedules section of the Waze Map Editor, please make the "Used In" count clickable or provide a way to show a list of school zones using a specific schedule. Currently, it only shows a number, not the actual locations. Recently, I was trying to find a school zone with an incorrect schedule so I could remove it and then delete the Community Schedule, but I couldn’t locate it even after searching an entire province and four major cities.

Notify on severe delay on regular route
Sometimes we drive the same route home every day and dont notice water routing specifically to avoid a major traffic jam. Would be helpful to receive specific notice that we are going a different route for a very good reason

Visual only Traffic Lights
Hi Waze Team and Community,
I’d like to suggest the implementation of a visual-only Permanent Hazard for traffic lights (eg. located at pedestrian crossings that are not part of an intersection or junction).
Currently, to map a traffic light, we often have to split segments to create a junction. However, on long roads with simple pedestrian crossings, "breaking" the segment can negatively impact routing data and unnecessarily complicate the map.
Having a specific "Traffic Light" hazard (similar to the "Red Light Camera" but without the enforcement/fine implication) would allow:
Better driver awareness of upcoming stops for pedestrians.

Notify User when PUR approved
Waze should notify the user when an editor approves or disapproves a PUR. That way, the process doesn't feel as much like a "black box" for the user.

Add destination after the actual destination (optional)
When I add a destination when it is already one destination, it adds before the actual destination. I would like to have the option to add after the actual destination

Prevent segment node merging in certain cases
Just like when the speed limit or name differs between two segments we are trying to merge, merging segments by deleting a node should not be allowed if:
- the segment elevations are different
- the number of lanes is different
- segment alternate addresses are different (or one does not contain an alternate address and one does)
The goal is to prevent segment elevation or routing errors when cleaning up seemingly unnecessary junction nodes in an area.
I might be forgetting some cases, so please feel free to add any relevant ones in the comments!

Icon on map screen to report pot holes in 1 action, current set up means that you have to press 3 icons to report a pot hole.
Icon on map screen to report pot holes in 1 action, current set up means that you have to press 3 icons to report a pot hole. Due to the increasing number of pots holes this would make it easier to report. I report pot holes more then any other action in waze.

Different speed limits for School zone Polygon depending on Entry Point
When creating School zones, i encounter the weird situation where the same segment has 2 different speeds, for example: when you go Southbound is 25mph school zone and for the same street but going Northbound the speeed is 15mph. in this case we will use the lowest speed but this wont be accurate, as the alert is telling users that the School zone is 15mph, mean while they going Southbound where the School sign shows 25mph, so this would create URs, complaining about the proper speed for the Soutbound lane, and this is what this suggestions is intended for so…

Add a flag to RTC to warn about the approaching final date
An editor should be able to "subscribe" to a specific RTC in order to receive a note message when the RTC is approaching its final date or is cancelled before the final date.

Road Closure Metrics
It would be nice to be able to see how many people were successfully rerouted around a closure. We specifically use road closures for emergencies like crashes on major roadways, and it would be beneficial to be able to see how effective that is.

Selection of the period of GPS history
As the editor, I would like to have an impact on the length of the GPS track history.
Sometimes you need a short history to catch events, and sometimes as long as possible to check the traffic density or the correctness of the road.

Improved Notifications in WME
I suggest adding in WME notifications to improve tracking of URs and map notes:
- Followed URs: Receive notifications directly in WME (not only on the mobile app) when there are updates or new replies.
- Followed map notes: Receive notifications inside WME (not only by email) when new comments are added to notes I am following.
These improvements would make it easier to stay updated, respond faster, and enhance community collaboration without relying only on email or the mobile app.
