Animal Crossing and Equestrian Road Usage Attributes
Requesting a feature in Waze Map Editor that allows editors to assign permanent animal-related road attributes to road segments.
Many roads are marked with official signs indicating wildlife crossings, or regular use by horse riders. These represent ongoing, predictable conditions rather than temporary hazards, but there is currently no structured way to reflect them in the map.
This feature should allow editors to tag roads with:
Animal crossing (e.g., wildlife such as deer or moose)
Equestrian road usage (roads frequently used by riders)
Making these attributes visible to drivers would improve awareness and safety, especially on rural or mixed-use roads…

LPG (GLP) stations
I would like to suggest adding LPG (GLP) stations as a specific fuel category in the app. In the Dominican Republic, a large percentage of vehicles run on LPG, and it is currently difficult for users to locate these specific stations quickly. Adding a dedicated filter or icon for LPG would greatly improve the navigation experience for thousands of drivers in the region.

Additional Imagery requests feedback
With the great feature of Additional Imagery, we can make requests for updates using "The Button".
If the imagery update meets our needs, we should be able to confirm that it did (like a thumbs up for alerts in the app).
If we get an alert that imagery has been updated, but the imagery is not sufficient (not new enough, clouded over, etc), we have to submit a new request. Instead of submitting a new request, there should be an option to reopen the original request to get newer/clearer imagery.
As is, there is no easy way to provide feedback…

Post-Trip Summary & Route Comparison
I would like to request a "Trip Summary" card that appears automatically upon reaching a destination. Currently, the navigation simply ends, and valuable driving data is lost.
Proposed Metrics to Display:
- Performance: Distance, Total Time, Avg/Max Speed.Efficiency: Estimated fuel/battery cost for the trip.
Traffic Insight: Moving time vs. Stopped time (idling/traffic).
Smart Comparison Feature: For frequent routes (specifically "Home" to "Work" and vice versa), the summary should include a comparison against the user's historical average.
Example: "You arrived 3 minutes faster than your average commute."
Benefit: This would help users analyze their driving habits, optimize their commute times,…

Add "Any date after today" for age of new aerial data requests (Request updated imagery)
BLUF Recommend adding an option for “Any date after today” Especially for new construction.
Thank you for adding the Request updated imagery straight from WME to the WME Beta site. It allows one to request imagery that is 1 year, 6 months, 1 month. To improve the process it would be great to add "Any date after today". For construction the new configuration may have occurred within the last month or significant changes were made within the last month (lane guidance painting, etc.

Remember orientation when dragging Street View handle
When the Street View handle is dragged onto the map and subsequently moved again, the orientation snaps to north. It would be helpful to maintain the current heading so that when moving the handle along a street the heading doesn't have to be repeatedly rotated back parallel with the street.

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…4 votes -
Отмечать не рабочие камеры
Дать возможность водителям отмечать что в населенных пунктах не работают камеры (радары) измеряющие скорость
Просто часто в Европе существуют коробки где уже нет камер для замера скорости при въезде в наследный пункт и выезд
И на картах Waze они отмечены как рабочие хотя они пустые (там видно )1 vote -
Drawing similar type segments
In WME Advanced Preferences, similar to the option to “Draw new roads as two-way,” add an option to be able to change the default Road Type to something other than Street.
Helpful when adding a new highway/freeway or a parking lot where all the segment types are the same, I would like to check a box in the Preferences to either “Draw all segments as [Road Type selection]” or “Default Road Type [selection]”

Time Based Permanent Hazards
Some permanent hazards can be time-based, especially if the local community maps them when they actually alert the driver about a hazard. For example, complex intersections might be complex only at night because of poor visibility, but during daytime the visibility is perfect, and the hazard is not needed.

Adding Traffic Lights to the Map
It would be very helpful if Waze displayed traffic lights on the map. This feature would allow drivers to better anticipate delays at intersections, adjust their speed smoothly, and avoid sudden braking or collisions. It would also improve the accuracy of travel time estimates and help Waze suggest alternative routes that avoid long red lights or heavy congestion. Additionally, showing traffic lights would assist drivers in timing their turns more effectively, reducing the chance of missing them due to unexpected stops or light changes.

PERMITIR PROGRAMAR ALARMA PARA QUE SE ACTIVE AL LLEGAR A UN LUGAR DESEADO

Segment history - moved house numbers
When looking at segment history, you can see details of house numbers that have been added or removed. When the position of the house number is changed, the history says "House Number: Missing Data". It would be better to list the house number and that it was moved.

keyboard shortcut for adding POI
A significant workflow inefficiency within the Waze Map Editor (WME) currently stems from the lack of keyboard shortcuts for adding Points of Interest (POIs). Users are required to rely solely on mouse interaction – hovering over the POI menu and clicking the desired category – every single time they need to add a new point.
This becomes particularly tedious for editors who frequently utilize specific categories. For instance, I personally rely heavily on the 'OTHER' POI category. This isn't for standard points, but rather as a necessary workaround to map complex Residential Place Points (RPPs) or House Numbers (HNs) that…39 votesGreat timing! We’re currently working on the keyboard shortcut for adding a POI. Keep an eye out for updates on the WME.
