Lane guidance: Make "View Only" and "View and Hear" behaviors consistent for "continue straight" lanes
In WME we have two options if we want to force "continue" lane guidance to be surfaced to the user - view only, and view and hear (or more recently, with and without audible instructions).
Aside from the obvious difference in whether or not an audible instruction is issued to "use the Left 3 lanes to continue straight ..." or only a visual instruction, there's another more subtle behavior change that is not always welcome - namely, if you use the "View and Hear" option, it is additionally treated as a "Continue" TIO (turn instruction override). This means that, if…

Voice Updates
For reporting of Voice Updates of Hazards etc, the button should be bigger and should not conflict with other buttons or map options, if possible if we speak like "waze" and then report a hazard etc this should work with voice command without pushing any buttons

Edit opening hours
Today we cannot modify opening hours assigned to a place, but have to delete them and add new ones. We need a control to modify opening hours.

NOMBRE CALLE
Seria muy interesante que Waze, pusiese la calle por la que uno circula cuando no llevas un destino fijado.
Como si lo hace cuando llevas una ruta estableciada
Supongo que no seria dificil, si ya lo hace al llevar un destino marcado
Gracias

Validation workflow & access to all functions
Hello,
I'm a current level 3 Area Manager and every day I have to deal with bottlenecks because I don't have the necessary level to make changes.
So I have to find a L4 or L5 to do it, explain it to them and get the result.
This is very time-consuming and somewhat archaic these days.I'd like to suggest the following:
Be able to give all editors access to all functions or perhaps from L2 or L3 if we want there to be a minimum of editing experience. As well as adding a validation workflow for functions that currently…9 votes -
Segment history - moved house numbers
When looking at segment history, you can see details of house numbers that have been added or removed. When the position of the house number is changed, the history says "House Number: Missing Data". It would be better to list the house number and that it was moved.
46 votesGreat timing! We’re currently working on it. Keep an eye out for updates on the WME.

Option to Avoid Specific Places or Intersections
It would be very helpful to have the ability to mark specific places, roads, or intersections that users want to avoid — like setting a "do not route through here" point. Waze could then calculate routes that steer clear of those areas.
The current issue is that Waze often reroutes dynamically while driving. Even if I start on a preferred route, I sometimes follow Waze's updated instructions and end up passing through places I was specifically trying to avoid. This can be frustrating — especially in countries where some intersections or roads are known to be dangerous, either due to…

Feed - Unique "Area" setting per feed type or "distance" sorting.
I most often use the Solve Feeds to work User Reported issues across my managed area. While looking a those, I am inclined to work nearby surfaced MS and PUR. However those feeds greatly exceed the limit of items exposed.. As a result, the items in the feed are only the 500 most recent items, regardless of their proximity to where I am currently viewing. I'm not inclined to switch feeds and click though the 10 pages of items to get to the "Load more", and repeat that 5-10 times for the PUR feed, and then more than 50 times…

Filter GPS tracks by vehicle type: private, taxi, motorcycle
The GPS layer should have checkmarks where we could choose the vehicle type of the GPS tracks we want to see.
This would be great for determining what type of vehicle is using a particular road, which in turn would be useful for deciding what road restrictions a road should have.85 votes -
I want to put a warning icon like in partnership
I would like to see the Waze Partnership-specific warning icons, which can currently only be installed on-site, made easier to install. For example, it would be useful to have a system where you can pull over and set it on the navigation screen, or a function where you can set it using the Waze Editor in your browser.

Additional Imagery requests feedback
With the great feature of Additional Imagery, we can make requests for updates using "The Button".
If the imagery update meets our needs, we should be able to confirm that it did (like a thumbs up for alerts in the app).
If we get an alert that imagery has been updated, but the imagery is not sufficient (not new enough, clouded over, etc), we have to submit a new request. Instead of submitting a new request, there should be an option to reopen the original request to get newer/clearer imagery.
As is, there is no easy way to provide feedback…

Please allow font size change. Letters are too small now.
I think font is too small, and requires taking eyes off road to focus on letters - a safety issue. You can with Google Maps by changing phone settings, but this doesn't work with Waze. I prefer using Waze over G Maps. Please consider adding this option.

Improve House Numbers Editing Interface Clarity
Since the version 2.272, the HN interface has become visually overloaded mainly on cross roads. In the previous version, entering house numbers mode would visually isolate the numbers belonging only to the selected street. This behavior was much more intuitive and provided a cleaner, distraction-free environment for editing.
We suggest restoring this functionality - either by default or as an optional toggle - so that only the house numbers from the selected street are shown during editing. This change would significantly improve clarity, reduce errors, and enhance the overall editing experience.
Thank you for your consideration.

link to contacts
When searching for an address to you are going to, have it search the contacts on the phone. IE I want to go to John's house, I would type or say go to johns house. And it can search my contacts for his address.

"Take me back the same way I came!"
"Take me back the same way I came!" Garmin has such an option and it is very useful, especially when the driver gets lost. It can be turned on and off at will.

Ability to create an Update Request on a Permanent Hazard segment
AS a Waze Editor Level 2, I'd like to be able to propose Update Requests on segments of any lock level that have a permanent hazzard like a speed bump. Actually it is not able to be done.

WME Feed customise by country
WME Default loading is launching with feed showing KoiFish suggestions that are locked for almost all editors.
Most L1-2 editors cannot add these and cannot hide them either. As a display, it is very confusing for them.
Without taking away any choices in Feed selection, it would be nice if the WME Default Feed could either be selected by country as defined by coordinators or at least remove KoiFish suggestion as default load for all editors.

Automatically add street when adding a point location
As a waze level 2 editor, when adding a residential place, I'd like for the street to be automatically pre-filled with the closest segment in the map.
I have been adding a lot of residential places in my zone and I have to copy the street name and paste in each place I add. This process would be more expedite if street name is filled with the closest segment on the map and would avoid errors of places in streets different than the one they are put into.
