Route under Sightseeing aspects
If you're choosing a route , waze suggests it always under the aspect of as-fast-as-possible aspects. I got time and am looking for a route under sightseeing aspects, For me it does'nt matter if the route lasts 2 hours longer. i'll make a rest in a nice littel town in a café and are enjoying the landscape.
So we have to use our analog paper map, waze is not really helpfull.
Please give the possibility, to choose a route under touristic aspects.3 votes -
Streamlining changes for adding house numbers
I'd like to suggest two related changes regarding the addition of house numbers. These are small changes, but in UI design, frictions like this can add up when one is performing the same action over and over.
- Always keep the text field active when selecting a house number point
After clicking to add a house number, the text field to enter the number is automatically active and can be typed in (which is great!) But, when clicking and dragging either the house number itself or the entry point, the cursor goes away, and one has to click the number field…

Height limitation of bridges
I think WME should have a bridge height segment. Some of the bridges, at least here in Finland, are really low and even a van is in danger of getting stuck on its roof. It would make driving easier.
With the same effort, it would certainly be great if the roads also got a possible weight restriction segment.

Show map error icon in the app / Kartenfehler Icon in der App anzeigen
Report card error should be displayed as an icon in the app so that the sender can see that the card error has been transmitted and can also edit the comment by clicking on the icon to make it easier for the editor to solve the problem.
Kartenfehler melden sollte als Icon in der App angezeigt werden, damit der Absender zum Einen sieht, dass der Kartenfehler übertragen wurde und zum Anderen den Kommentar pflegen kann durch Klick auf das Icon, um es dem Editor zu vereinfachen, das Problem zu lösen.

Ability to switch from segment node to junction.
When adding a junction to a segment, the only way now is to add a road and delete it.
clicking a segment and adding a node and being able to toggle that to a junction would make it less messy of adding and deleting roads.7 votes -
We are no longer in the Middle Ages, is the concept of "accepting credit cards" still useful?
In waze Editor, is it still useful to have the checkbox "accepting credit card", i mean every where they do, we are no longer in the Middle Ages

Add icon for roadworks with traffic-light controlled one-way
Add a new kind of roadworks notification (like the same icon as the one currently used for roadworks but with a little traffic light) for those that have a traffic to make the road one-way.
It'd be great to know in advance to avoid a road where there are multiple of these.

Add possibility to suggest bumps for users
I suggest adding the possibility to suggest "dangers" like obnoxiously tall road bumps or sudden turn in tight roads on the map like it is for speed limits.

Allow editing geometry of segments with permanent hazards (PHs)
Currently, if a segment has a PH, it automatically becomes non-editable by lower level editors, even if they would normally be able to edit a given segment, had there been no PH on that segment. This prevents an editor from continuing, and requires intervention from a senior level editor.
The only way around it, is to remove the entire segment with a PH and add it again, in order to continue fixing geometries. However, there is a big downside to this approach, that it also removes added HNs.
One could isolate the PH, by sub-dividing the segment into three segments,…

Il m’est déjà arrivé de conduire sur l’autoroute et de croiser une voiture qui roulait à contresens. C’était extrêmement dangereux et j’ai dû réagir rapidement. Dans ce genre de situation, une alerte immédiate de Waze (sonore et visuelle) aurait pu prévenir tous les conducteurs autour pour qu’ils redoublent de vigilance.

Please add sign icons for national and prefectural roads in Japan.
In Japan, there are road signs that show the numbers of national and prefectural roads. All major apps, including Google Maps, support this display, except for Waze, which does not support it.

Please add Japanese "Stop" signs and pedestrian crossings
In Japan, pedestrians are required to stop at places where there are stop signs and at crosswalks where there are pedestrians about to cross. In addition, pedestrians are required to slow down when crossing a crosswalk where it is unclear whether there are pedestrians about to cross. Violating these rules will result in police crackdowns and penalties such as fines being imposed on drivers. Currently, there are also "stop" cameras installed, but I understand that these are intended to draw attention to crackdown points. Instead, I would like to see signs and indications that there are crosswalks.

Add oblique imagery (birds eye view) from GMaps to WME
To allow editors a more comprehensive view of an area and to provide an additional data layer of imagery, use the already-available oblique imagery from GMaps in WME.
Oblique imagery allows for a 360° view of a location so we would need a new icon to allow for cycling around the 4 'quadrants' of the imagery.

Treat roundabouts as a single movable node when selecting the entire roundabout, to allow for easier adjustment and alignment.
It might be helpful if roundabouts in the WME could be treated more like area zones—something that can be selected and moved as a whole. As far as I know, the only way to move a roundabout is by either deleting and redrawing it, or carefully shifting each segment one by one—which can be time-consuming and often risks distorting the roundabout's shape. If there were a way to move the entire roundabout while keeping its structure intact, it could make editing a bit easier and more efficient. Just a thought that might be worth considering.
While I don't personally see…

Waze map Editor
Good Evening, Im from latin America and genuinely love Waze and th Waze map editor system, but I really think that the number of high level map editors that can make actual and meaningful changes is very close to none. Also I think that being a level one editor leaves you with very small options on how to better the experience to everyone, even though most of the level one editors are mostly people who saw a problem and joined just to get it fixed, adding to this the way a low level editor can add suggestions is not easy…

Allow editors to view restrictions (view only) regardless of their lock level.
Allow editors to view segment restrictions (view only) regardless of their lock level. This would be informative and a learning tool as to how advanced editors set up segment restrictions correctly.

Include temporary settings like HOV route selection in UR information
Relatively recently we got the ability to see some app settings in user reports. What we can't see are temporary settings like whether or not an HOV route was selected. It would be helpful to surface any information available that does not compromise anonymity.
