Disable closures' tab on non-drivable segments
It is suggested to disable the closures tab when selecting non-drivable segments (staurway, railroad, PBW, WT). It has no effect on routing and it distracts the attention of the driver.

Add Names of Lakes and Rivers to the display in the APP
In some areas bodies of water are significant landmarks that aid in navigation. The names of major bodies of water are shown in the Live Map already. I assume the names shown in the LM are coming from the Water Layer. Enabling these names to be displayed would be a great addition to the App.

Allow link RPP and Google addresses
Why we can link POI but can't link addresses?
We have a lot of problem with google addresses and have to use different hacks for it.
I suggest add function linking RPP and Google addresses like in POIs607 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.

Link Parking Lots to Places in WME
When Searching for a place in the app, I've noticed the place will pop up, for example "Target" and its designated parking lot will show up almost always right below it, "Parking - Target". But when you click "Target" and go to see parking lots that are close, the only ones that show up are ones that have a Public lot type, which naturally isn't the one marked Target bc that needs to be marked Restricted bc only those going to Target can park there. If there could be a way a link a few parking lots to a place…

Correction needed for Savannah historic district
From 16 into Savannah, GA. WAZE dictated a right turn on Abercorn but said "Abersham" so I missed the turn. That area is full of one-way streets and Abercorn would have "circled the block" to get me to Lincoln Street.

Fix bug when multiple URs are submitted from the exact same location.
When multiple URs are submitted at the exact same location only the last one can be opened. When you try to open the others the display hangs and a hard refresh must be used.

Allow to drag a node of a segment with closure
Dragging of a node is not allowed when the node is of a segment with closure on it, although the ID of the segment that includes the closure does not change. It is suggested to allow it.
As a temporary solution, it is possible to delete the closure, and then drag the node, and then reenter the closure (but still the closure is removed for the time it takes to complete the change).15 votes -
School Zones Speed limit 40km 2:30-4pm weekdays
We need to know the school zones and change the speed limit around these times near school which the time is 2:30-4:00 pm Monday to Friday only around school zones this feature should be added in so people like my self don’t get confused with the on screen speedometer

Lane closures
The possibility for us editors to close lanes on for example highways.
We'd indicate which lane is closed and a RoadShield like box would appear showing arrows so that users can change lanes early to the non close ones.

Drivable Areas
The current solution for parking lots and gas stations is not particularly user friendly. A user driving within these areas is directed to follow parking lot road segments which can be very complex and still may not represent the paths that drivers actually follow.
A means to give a user a general instruction to proceed to a particular exit to get going on their route could result in a better user experience, especially in the case of of multi-level parking structures where a user may drive in circles repeatedly as they proceed to the exit level.3 votes -

Apply alternative name to all selected segments of the street
Today, if an alternative name is only assigned to some segments of a street, and you select also segments of the street without the alternative name, there is no indication of such status and no way to apply the alternative name to all segments. Please add such indication and action.

New "comment" category: traffic cam
It can help editors a lot to have quick access to traffic cameras or similar government-deployed cameras that are accessible for the public.
Certain places have mapped them in WME with a Web Comment (point), but it might be useful to have a distinct category for them, so they are easy to spot.
It can be simply a duplicate of the existing comment category, but with a new symbol.9 votes -
Add filter to WME feed
Add state filter to the UR feed
To be able to focus on editing a state, il would be good to be able to filter the feed mainly when managing a country or multiple states.

Markers for Emergency Service Stations
An awesome addition to the waze map editor would be the addition of emergency service station markers and permanent building markers / icons with two types for example:
Emergency tap (single tap on any of the icons will add it to your route)
- Hospitals (Marked with a red and white "H")
- Police Stations (Marked with a house shape outline & a badge inside)
- Fire Stations (Marked with a house shape outline & Fire Axe or fire truck inside)
Passive Icons
- Schools (that have a highlighted zone area around them when route passes though and an alert…11 votes -
Closures - Don't return to top of list
When you have a lot of closures on a segment, Waze goes back to top of list each time you open one of the closures in the list. This makes it more labour intensive if you have to go through several to change settings. It should be constructed in such a manner that when you cancel or save a closure, you return to the same position in the list.

Allow roadshields with more than 5 characters
Hi,
Would it be possible to increase the number of allowed characters for the roadshields.
In Luxembourg, for example we have roads like the "CR189A" which sadly doesn't fit into the inbox.Best Regards
