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 -

Support optional "display name" specifically for Area Places
The "name" field of an Area Place serves two completely separate functions. First, it seeks to form, together with the address, a unique search hit; this could involve a lot of text. But second, it displays on the app for everyone nearby.
Most drivers probably don't care about detail in the displayed name; for them, excessive detail may distract rather than help. For example, in some countries editing conventions dictate that rest stops along freeways should have highly detailed primary names in order to make them useful search hits, such as:
"Rest Area (no facilities) - I-680 mile 58 Benicia-Martinez…

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.

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.

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…

Solving Waze map issues and user levels
It would be great to be able to assist in solving issues by being able to see the issues at your Wazer level and higher. I have been trying to help, but it takes ages to find where to help and give up as I have an insufficient level (one). The filtering lock doesn't work. And my areas saved are way out of date and can help further distances but no way to update. Thanks, Wazers!

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.
