Default new users in US and UK to Imperial units
Since the wonderful new Edit Suggestions tool has been released, we have seen many (too many) suggestions from well-meaning users in the US to change speed limits to values like 16 or 31 mph. Obviously these users were set by default to use metric units without realizing it.
If a user tries to edit using the WME for the first time in a country that uses Imperial speed limits (which I believe is only the US, UK, Anguilla, Antigua, Barbados, and the Cayman Islands), their units should automatically be set to Imperial by default.

Report wild animals on the live map
Report wild animals on the live map
The idea would be to report on the live map, about wild animals (whether: goats, foxes or any type) that the report lasted a couple of hours on the road, and over time reports and warnings could be made about the roads where there are more appearances.
This would be very good for secondary roads or mountain passes, in such a way as to create a warning if the route passes through an area that has a high level of reports of wild animals and the user would drive with more caution.1 vote -

Allow combining chargers when merging EVCS
When merging EVCS, give users the option to include both sets of chargers. For some reason, some networks (ahem, ChargePoint) sometimes list multiple charger sites in the same parking lot or garage. If we try to merge them, we have to select one or the other set of chargers. Please add an option to include both sets.

Keep usernames in WME history instead of "inactive user"
Whenever an user is banned or deletes his/her account or just mysteriously (!!) loses his/her account, all edits in history will be shown under name "inactive user" with a link to 404 page.
Just, for the sake of history, please keep the original username in history and add a little remark that the account is inactive/deleted/etc..

Narrow Road Permanent Hazard
This permanent hazard would warn users of an upcoming section of narrower road width that has traffic and/or safety considerations. Potential applications include:
Areas where a two-way road transitions to a single-lane width where opposing traffic must alternate/give way through the narrow section

Re-Center Directional Map
While driving my route yesterday, I accidentally touched the map screen. For the life of me, I couldn’t find a ‘Re-Center’ indicator or get back to the usual directional map. I gave up in frustration and switched back to the GPS map I was using prior to trying Waze again.

"Check and try again"
Save error suggestions should provide useful, actionable info to the editor to help them know what to do to solve the problem.
"Check and try again" isn't helpful. Check what?

add ''HIGHWAY FIRST" to preference
When there are several routes available, I've noticed that Waze may calculate a route that combines both ground roads and highways. This is done to save a little time or reduce toll fees but can result in entering the highway from a distant entrance or exiting the highway too early. This approach leads to more instances of entering and exiting, as well as increased interactions with other drivers, which is unnecessary and more dangerous.
I suggest implementing a "HIGHWAY FIRST" preference. When a highway is available, the system should calculate a route that prioritizes the use of highways, even if…

Directly Navigate To Trauma Center Facility
I wanted to offer a suggestion that could potentially save lives and improve the efficiency of emergency medical care navigation in Georgia.
Currently, Waze provides invaluable assistance in navigating through traffic and finding nearby emergency departments in times of need. However, it's important to note that not all emergency departments are equipped to handle trauma cases. In Georgia, as in many other regions, there are designated trauma centers that offer specialized care for severe injuries.
My suggestion is to enhance Waze's functionality by incorporating information about trauma centers alongside regular emergency departments when users search for medical assistance. By doing…

Loosing costumers
Hi !
"This idea was created based on the response received by contacting customer service. Therefore, the idea directly addresses what is said in the conversation. The topic deals with users of the country of Azerbaijan. And since there are approximately 5 editors for the country in question, it is obvious that this issue will not attract much attention. Because I haven't seen any of them make any suggestions or post on any topic here yet."... And yes, I have one more issue to talk to you about. So, is there another way for me to become a moderator…

Adjust Categories to cover Sports Clubs
Some of the categories don't quite cover what editors might be looking for. For example, Game Club should be a Sports Club, and a Club should be like a nightclub or function room type place. Currently, there is no category that covers a local sports club/function room. they're often a vital community asset and are used for plenty of social functions by non-club members which often leads to "non-locals" having to try locate them

Parking lot type (motorcycles-only, cars-only, both)
It's very common, at least in Colombia, parking lots only for motorcycles and it's really dissapointing to arrive at a parking lot suggested by Waze, and realize that it's a motorcycle-only parking lot and you're driving a car.
Please add a new property in WME to choose the type of parking lot: motorcycles-only, cars-only, or both, and add a new feature in app to filter by parking lot type.49 votes -
