Have a checkbox for "Cash Only" instead of or as well as "Accepts Credit Cards" in the Services menu
As most businesses accept credit cards, I feel like a more applicable option to select would be for "Cash Only" as that is very important information to know about a place before heading there.

Add Keyboard Shortcuts to Google Places / Agregar atajos de teclado a Google Places
I would like to suggest adding keyboard shortcuts to Google Places.
Keyboard shortcuts could help users work more efficiently by reducing the need for repetitive mouse actions, especially when reviewing or editing multiple places. This improvement would save time, improve usability, and make the overall experience faster and more comfortable for advanced users.La sugerencia que deseo hacer es agregar atajos de teclado a Google Places.
Los atajos de teclado permitirían a los usuarios trabajar de manera más rápida y eficiente, reduciendo el uso repetitivo del mouse, especialmente al revisar o editar varios lugares. Esta mejora ayudaría a ahorrar tiempo,…3 votes -
Eliminate "HN already used" error.
When adding HNs, if a particular number and street name combination exist anywhere else in the state, you get an error message that the HN 'can't be added because it already exists on the street.' It's not unusual for a street name to be used many times in other cities in the state.
There are work-arounds to force the HN to be accepted but it would be much simpler if the city name could be considered in determining if that the HN already exists. A street name is normally used only one time in a city so when there are…

Alpha Sort Shield picker display order
Need to alpha sort Shield Picker and place all generics (County Road) at the top. This was fixed shortly after the NA MMU in Seattle, but has reverted in subsequent releases.

Add an “Aerial Traffic Enforcement / Aerial Patrol” report type.
Currently Waze users often report helicopters monitoring traffic using generic police or hazard reports, which creates inaccurate map data.
A dedicated temporary aerial-surveillance event would improve report quality and traffic awareness, especially on highways where helicopter presence influences driving patterns over large areas.
Suggested characteristics:
temporary event
larger visibility radius than regular police reports
optional direction of travel
low-noise notification style
community confirmation required3 votes -
Rerouting optional
In the beginning of a ride, the app will let you chose between several routes. However, even if you purposely selected a certain route, it will automatically reroute you, if it found a "faster" route. Sometimes though, you do not want that because you chose a certain route on purpose. Unfortunately, other than in Google Maps (where you get a notification that a faster route was found that you can dismiss) there is no option in Waze to reject such rerouting. This can sometimes even lead to dangerous situations, like if you get rerouted through an unsafe neighborhood.

SAFEST not FASTEST route
This might not be relevant to users in very safe countries, but if you live in or travel to some South American or African countries (or even in some districts of the US), you do not necessarily want to get the fastest route, but the SAFEST one – omitting dangerous areas (like gang zones). As a concrete example, I was driving through Rio de Janeiro and Waze suddenly tried to reroute me through a Favela, because it was supposedly a few minutes "faster" (something, travel guides and the State Department even explicitly warn about). In fact, there were already news…

Schedule speed limit changes
Allow editors to schedule speed limit changes. For example during roadworks there is often a reduced speed limits. It would be useful to be able to set, in the editor, a start and finish date for these reduced speed limits. This would prevent an editor changing the speed limit and forgetting to change it back. This could be tied into tile builds so the edit is made in time for that days tile build.

El número de casa en Colombia está al final de la dirección
En Colombia, las direcciones se estructuran indicando primero la vía donde está situada la puerta, seguida del número de la vía de intersección con el símbolo #, y finalmente el número de la casa. Por ejemplo, Calle 67 #39-44: la puerta está sobre la Calle 67, la intersección más cercana es la Carrera 39, y el 44 corresponde al número de la vivienda. Por lo tanto, no está bien que en WAZE las direcciones empiecen con el numero de casa, como se muestra a continuación: 44 Calle 67 #39-44.

Lane closures
The possibility for us editors to close lanes on for example highways.
We'd indicate which lane is closed and a RoadShield like box would appear showing arrows so that users can change lanes early to the non close ones.

Posibility to add type of plug and charge speed for EVCS from the app.
Costa Rica is not on the list of countries where Waze has implemented the features for EVCS.
Here are more than 1000 charging stations between L1, L2 and L3 and we have added almost all of them in Waze manually.
We have to introduce all the characteristics of each charging point in the app from the WME.
It would be great if it can be done from the app. Like adding plug type or charging speed. From the application it is not yet possible.2 votes -

voice controll over waze
Voice controll when waze is on and the voice controll is on as well.
Just say "Waze danger", it will ask what kind of danger, you say on road it confirm you say after that car stop, or wheather, fog... etc...
It recognise the item and ask to confirm, you say yes and you made a sign without to watch and manual input the danger.

Multimodal Routing
Traffic navigation isn't limited to cars. Waze could expand to include cycling, walking, and even public transportation options. By incorporating real-time data on bike lanes, pedestrian paths, and bus schedules, Waze could become a one-stop shop for navigating any mode of transportation in a city.
