Speed pumps alert
Lots of speeding pumps are not correctly feasible, would be real helpful if we can add report to the map as well

Exempting some editors from waiting for changes to be applied to the map
Hi .
I don’t know if Waze can exempt some editors who dedicated their lives to editing from the 24-hour waiting period for changes.
Several reasons support this idea:
such as editors having limited time due to family and work commitments.
Some actions require immediate attention, and exceptions could enhance map accuracy, accelerate change application, and impress users with faster updates, attracting new users.Your thoughts stemmed from adding a Gate to a mall, experiencing instant change app, prompting the idea of applying this efficiency to the entire map.
thanks!

Add More Culture / Entertainment Subcategories
It would be nice to have more subcategories for Culter/Entertainment venues. A couple of examples would be Bowling Alley and Arcade. When I look at bowling alleys in Waze they are flagged as the the main category, but I feel having a subcategory for them would help with users locating them.
I don't think this is too much to ask when we have subcategories for Race Track and Theme Park which is significantly fewer in number.
A list of culture/entertainment subcategories that come to mind that would be helpful:
- Bowling Alley
- Arcade
- Mini Golf (Putt-Putt)
- Escape Room

אופציה ל'הערה אישית'
שתהיה אופציה לבניית הערה אישית, כמו שיש 'אל תשכח להדליק אורות' או 'אל תשכח את הילד'...
שתהיה אפשרות לכתוב הערה שתקפוץ כשמגיעים למקום מסויים. לדוגמה: 'לא לשכוח לעבור בסופר' או 'לא לשכוח לעבור במחסן'4 votes -
Category for map issues
I was driving the other day and the speed limit indicated by Waze was incorrect. I went to the map issue button in the car, but that was not one of the options for telling what the problem with the map was. The editor who handled my problem then needed to contact me just to find out what the problem with the map was. While I don't mind the contact, it would have quicker and easier for everyone if a speed limit change was an option. Where I'm currently living there is a housing boom. As new subdivisions go up,…

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..

place destination counter for the last 30 days
Selecting a Waze place could show the amount of route requests in the last 30 days that had the exact Waze place as a destination.
This would be quite informative and could give us editors an insight on how demanded an entry is.

Save changes as a draft
The "save as draft" button keeps the changes made but not yet saved, so that they can be resumed at a later time or continued on another device.

Restore UR interface to prior version
WME v 2.1.344.1-4e85e205 broke the UR comments interface in numerous ways. Restore it to 2.1.285.3-612222ad

Display state instead of country when zoomed out
If a country uses states then when between zoom levels 5/6 to 10 it should say the state name rather than country name. Once you are zoomed out past level 5 or 6 then it should start saying the country name.
E.g. More useful to know I am looking at Queensland instead of Australia at this zoom level

Work closer with scripters
Develop a closer working relationship with scripters. They provide great tools that make the time we can devote to editing far more productive - UNTIL the scripts are broken when WME is updated. When possible incorporate script functionality into native code.

Allow un-checking Segments layer to be persistent
When using Street Vector Layer I turn off the Segments layer but each time a hard refresh is required (which is far too often) the Segments layer is re-activated by default. Please allow the setting for the Segments layer to be persistent.

Bilingual
Hello. Is it possible that in the future, the names of cities may also be displayed alphabetically (Roman, Cyrillic, Chinese, etc.) to which I installed the application on the device?

Differentiate road name and road number
Many roads around the world have different names in addition to the name, such as the road number, whether federal or state. However, currently, this numbering is "hidden" in the alternative street name. In other words, the driver may even know that he is on a highway, for example, by the drawing, but he does not know which one if it has a name.
With this, in the Waze Map Editor, in the edition of the roads, the option of adding the street name or number, if it has one, could be added. Thus, Waze would show both the street…3 votes -
Editor Profile daily edit count displayed date
On the editor profile page (https://www.waze.com/user/editor/username), the daily edit count pill boxes advance at midnight GMT. The date displayed on mouseover shows the date relative to local time. This means after 1600 my time (-8), it will show today's date for edits in the previous 24 hours. At midnight local, the dates all switch and show the "correct" date until 1600 again.

Create or Save and edit drive route and daily commute
Hi
It would be great if we can create and alter our own drive route. While it is great that Waze does suggest the best route at the time, there might be more alternate routes that do not appear on the list. If we could be able to create and edit out own route, we avoid a certain toll road, but go on another. or choose a certain toll entry point over another that could save us a couple of dollars every trip.
Or if Waze could use and save our already travelled daily commutes? that would make it easier…

New health safety information in places
After the pandemic of COVID-19, some information such as air-conditioned or Wi-Fi became less relevant when choosing a restaurant, for example. It would be interesting for editors and users to be able to add information related to health safety measures, such as:
1.Need for reservations: Some restaurants require that the consumer has already made the reservation before.
2. Space for the elderly: Some places separate a place for the elderly, reducing the risk of contamination.
3.Contactless payment: The location features payment via NFC or other contactless methods.
4. Masks required: Despite obligation always, it is a good incentive and even…3 votes
