Permanent Hazard Cameras: Electronic Toll Collection
Many locations are now using electronic toll collection systems that take a photo of a user’s license plate, then send the user either a bill or a violation/penalty notice by mail. Since this is relatively new tech, a common concern over many of these applications is that they could be easy to miss, thus causing confusion over an “invisible toll” even if clearly signed. Additionally, some of these toll cameras also act as lane-use and HOV lane cameras in the case of express and HOT lanes. In some jurisdictions, they even act as speed cameras.
Since PHs show up on…

Allow the user to spot unexistent speed track assigned on the map
Allow the user to spot errors on the map specifically regarding if permanent speed traps assigned on the map actually exist or not. Nowadays, such an error is spotted as a general error on the map.

WME wrong address reports must show the search terms used
Update Requests about wrong addresses MUST show the search terms used by the reporter to look for the venue.
Usually, we have to ask the user (who rarely responds), which takes time and significantly delays a possible map correction.

Pop-Up Alert telling users the address they are routing to has been updated recently
It would be awesome if there was a system that alerted a user that's navigating to an address that has recently been updated and then ask if they would like to continue to the old location or if they would like to go the new updated location. This would help a ton when it comes to URs that are reporting that navigation to their house is wrong and delivery drivers or even family and friends cannot properly find the house because Waze has the pin improperly placed. (And yes, I know there's no way to know for sure the other…

Layers: Color according to speed
It would be helpful to have a new filter allowing users to quickly view speed limits. Red: 110 km/h, green: 50 km/h, etc.
This filter would also allow users to identify roads for which no speed limit is recorded in the editor.

WME issues filter
Part of the daily work of map editors is to delete old URs via WME issues filter that have no activity.
Currently there is no way to filter URs older than N days and the only way to filter is to filter from date to date. This requires defining new dates each time and filtering cannot be saved.
The suggestion is to add a filter of "older than N days"22 votes -
Integration with ODB2 to display car information
It would be great to have the car's features displayed on Waze via an OBD2 connection, at least temperature, speed (already available through GPS), fuel consumption, and oil pressure.
Integration with Car Scanner, for example!

Save the Bumpers: Add a Roadkill Alert!
First of all, thank you for keeping so many of us safe, sane, and (mostly) on the right roads. I’m a devoted Waze user, and I wanted to pitch a tiny-but-mighty upgrade:
Could we please have a specific “Roadkill” hazard option?
Right now we only have “Object on road,” which is fine… except in areas like mine where the “object” is usually a deer, raccoon, porcupine, or some other sweet woodland creature who made a questionable life choice. 🦌🦝🦔
A dedicated “Roadkill” or “Animal on Roadway” alert would help drivers know what kind of surprise they’re about to encounter. It’s…1 vote -
add time zone change
Exit 340 on I-40 West is US-11W (Bristol Hwy) near Knoxville, Tennessee is where the time zone sign is posted but it does not show up on waze. It would be nice to see that since watching the clock on the phone while you drive is difficult.

Low clearance road
Good morning, everyone!
I would like to suggest adding a “low-clearance road” warning or avoidance option in Waze. Some roads are not suitable for sports cars or vehicles with low ground clearance, and ending up on one can cause drivers to get stuck, leading to backups or unnecessary delays for others who follow the same route.
It would be very helpful if Waze offered an option - when starting a drive - to avoid low-clearance roads, similar to avoiding dirt roads or tolls. This would improve routing accuracy, prevent traffic issues, and help protect vehicles that are more sensitive to…4 votes -

Batch Input Road Closures
We have several large construction projects that will span several months, with mostly repeating road closures (Ex: Monday-Friday, 7AM-3PM). The only way I'm aware of to add these is by each individual day, then repeating next day, which gets tiring. There should be an option to bulk upload a closure, selecting the days of the week (Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Etc.) and the time it applies. There would also need to be an option to remove a closure on a specific day (Ex: Holidays).

Add option to make restrictions visible similar to closures
This goes together with a suggestion on the APP side to add an option to display some restricted segments.
Since there is no easy way to add closures based on a schedule, there are times it would be nice to have restrictions that can be scheduled show in the app similar to a closure. That way someone driving without a route will have the visual cue like a closure.

User guide or a short demo of key features for new members
Hi Team,
Please I'm new to this community but I would appreciate if we have a user guide or a short demo of key features of this Map Editor for new members or joiners1 vote -
3000 edits are too much for level 2, don't let us edit some locations if we were there.
My idea is to reduce the edits to advance in level and let the members of this community edit the locations that were not using Waze and were without using it
