Mute Button for temporary stops
On the app, how about a mute button for temporary stops, like for a rest stop, gas station or restaurant that is off a highway? Not having to listen to make a u-turn every 5 seconds when a restaurant is a mile off the interstate, can be annoying

Have police marking start at dark blue...
On the app, have police marking start at dark blue and the next 10 minutes, have the shade go lighter and then again in 10 minutes, even lighter. This will help determine how long ago that the report was made.

Mytery drive
You know how some people like to go for a Sunday ride? We'll this app would be for you.
A map app that you could put in where you are, how long you want to drive, maybe what kind of things you to see. And it would give you some options of drives and you could pick one. They would be different kinds like staying off highways, or include them. Ways maybe you wouldn't think of going. You wouldn't have to have a destination. It could be just a circle back to your house or to a destination with different…3 votes -
About road closures from the app
Currently, the Waze app only allows you to set road closures in the direction of travel, but if you could select road closures in both directions, we believe it would be possible to provide more flexible and accurate traffic information.

Traffic Event date selection
When adding a Traffic Event, when you select the beginning date and time, the end date and time should default to the same date. This would be similar to how closures work (add a closure and the start time is the current time, end time is the same day at midnight).

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.

missing sign icon, speed camera icon
There used to be an icon for missing signs, can we have it back? Here in Florida, we have lots of missing signs due to hurricane damage. Also, there are new speed cameras that are solar powered so they can be placed anywhere. Can we get an icon for those?

Allow us to mark where a train is crossing a road
If we could let everyone in our area that a train is blocking a road, it would save lots of time sitting at the crossing waiting and burning gas.

Flag Waze segments for addition to Google Maps
If an editor adds roads to Waze and sees they aren't in Google Maps, we have to add them using the Google Maps interface. This does not include access to additional imagery which can make it easier to make the updates.
With the increased data exchange between Waze and Google, it makes sense to have a button to flag sections of the Waze map for incorporation of high priority changes rather than having to map the area twice.

Select and edit multiple RPPs
When you have a street name changed, HN numbers don't need to be modified.
When you have a street with many RPP, you have to change the street name in each RPP, one by one.
This is also the argument of some publishers who do not want to use residentialIt should be interesting to be able to select many RPP of the same street (with the control key for exemple or an option on the segment) to be able to change the street name in one time and in each RPP.

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.

Add new layer with Road Signs (generated from Street View)
Use AI models to identify Road Signs from existing Street View images, and surface them in WME as a new layer.
Road sign examples:
- Speed limits
- Stop/Give way
- No entry
- Prohibited turns
- Sharp bends
- Lanes mergingIdeally this new layer should come with sub-layers and allow editors to show/hide on demand (similar to how Hazards currently appear in WME). Sub-layers could be groups - for example:
- Warnings
- Speed limits
- Orders
- Instructions42 votes
