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,…

Show place sub-categories sorted A to Z
When a general category is assigned to a new place, its sub-categories are shown in some constant but not obvious order. I suggest sorting the sub-categories in A-Z order (according to the used language).

Closed Place - Permanent/Temporary
Suggestion:
"Place Closure" Feature.
Please provide an option for editors to mark any place as closed, preferably with permanent closure or temporary closure options. Based on these two choices, branching options should be displayed.
For example, if a place is marked as permanently closed, the reason should be displayed along with an option to delete the place from the map.
If it is temporarily closed, options for duration and reason should be shown.Additionally:
Display a warning to drivers before starting the journey, along with a red icon indicating that the place is closed.Many people I have spoken to…

Report wild animals on the live map
Report wild animals on the live map
The idea would be to report on the live map, about wild animals (whether: goats, foxes or any type) that the report lasted a couple of hours on the road, and over time reports and warnings could be made about the roads where there are more appearances.
This would be very good for secondary roads or mountain passes, in such a way as to create a warning if the route passes through an area that has a high level of reports of wild animals and the user would drive with more caution.1 vote -

Add a penalty to PR crossing an LS+ junction
Suggest adding a penalty to all PR segments that junction with an LS+ segment for continuation. That is, do not continue on to another PR segment unless necessary.
This would be helpful for alleyways in cities to force the user to an LS+ segment instead of continuing alleyway to alleyway.
Also useful for local-access only situations were we want to force a user off the PR segments ASAP. I can't think of any situations where this would be an issue as if the destination is on a subsequent PR segment, that would rule.

Detour routes
We need the ability to add detour routes (paths) that can be added and removed in real time and/or scheduled to use in conjunction with closures. Often when local authorities announce closures, the also specify preferred detour routes.

Combined Red Light & Speed Cameras
The UK now has a growing number of red light cameras that also double-up as speed cameras. These should be able to be captured and displayed/warned as having both functions to drivers.

Re-Center Directional Map
While driving my route yesterday, I accidentally touched the map screen. For the life of me, I couldn’t find a ‘Re-Center’ indicator or get back to the usual directional map. I gave up in frustration and switched back to the GPS map I was using prior to trying Waze again.

Change Forum Sharing Options object types posted in forum
Currently when an editor uses the Forum Sharing Option to request an unlock, the request ALWAYS says "I would like to be able to edit the following segment(s)." no matter what type of object is selected.
The request should be automatically based on type of object selected
If segment(s) selected, no change
If venue(s) selected, the request should say "I would like to be able to edit the following venue(s)."
If they have any other type of object selected, the request should say "I would like to be able to edit the following [selected object type]."85 votesThanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

Extra click required for approving a PUR
When approving/rejecting a PUR (new place, new photo, change in details), an extra click is now needed to close the window. Simply clicking approve/reject would close the window, but now you also have to click done to close the window. This wasn't the case until WME v2.109 (released August 2022)
