  1. Show only active closures

    In the layers menu, under closures, there should be an "Only active" option. When this is enabled, only active closures will be shown in the WME. This would make the WME look "cleaner" and uncluttered.

  2. Editing Your Suggested Features

    Waze Live Map lets you add a new place, but in some cases, your device might not record the correct place or coordinates. When you want to edit the suggested place by placing the location symbol in the correct place on WME, it doesn't let you edit and recommends that it can only be edited by a Level 2 or higher.
    My idea is that it should let you edit your suggestion on WME regardless of your level, and then the reviewer can approve it.

  4. Hallo. Wäre ein Option für Grenzübergang zu sperren nicht schlecht.

    Hallo. Wäre ein Option für Grenzübergang zu sperren nicht schlecht.
    Mit Einsatzfahrzeug darf ich nicht über die Grenze fahren, aber manchmal führt die Navi mich dort durch. Und manchmal verbietet auch keine andere Option.
    Wie ich mich errinere, in iGo Navigation war diese Option verfügbar.
    Ich glaube könnten wir hier auch nutzen.

  6. Complex intersection in WME / Intersección Compleja en WME

    I suggest that the "Permanent Hazard > Complex Intersection" option should be restricted to connection nodes only, preventing its placement on segments. This will ensure accurate and consistent usage of the feature.

    Sugiero que la opción "Peligro permanente > Intersección compleja" se limite únicamente a los nodos de conexión, evitando su ubicación en segmentos. Esto garantizará un uso preciso y consistente de la función.

  8. New Permanent hazard: Check-point

    In many countries, fixed check-points are installed on the road. It could be done by Police, Customs, Tax services, Weight check... and even borders.

    It would be great to have those marqued on the map as permanent Hazard " Check point". It has basically the same effect of a toll booth: You often need to stop there, or a least drive through at a very reduced speed.

    This would be a great safety enhancement for both drivers and those manning those check points.

  10. Learn and adapt to sequential traffic light switching

    In Germany, switching traffic lights in sequence is a common thing ("Grüne Welle" - green wave). At some intersections, it would be great if the sequencing pattern is recognized by an algorithm to guide wazers based on their position in the traffic light sequencing, i.e. that on a long straight, the signal to turn left is only active in the first 30sec after turning green.

  11. Suburb borders that add suburbs to segments automatically

    Right now, every time we make a new segment on the map, we have to assign it to a suburb manually. Not only is this tedious, but it's prone to mistakes by editors, especially when editing near a suburb border.

    But, in many countries, suburbs have a fixed area, and all roads inside that suburb's area will be part of that suburb.

    If map editors were able to simply define the borders of each suburb in a state or country, then Waze could automatically assign any segment to the correct suburb, just by checking which suburb's area the segment falls…

  12. Show HN stop points for all levels

    When viewing a road that is locked to a higher level, it is not possible to view the HN stop points. This makes it impossible to troubleshoot the issue without requesting an unlock that might not be required if nothing needs to be edited. Being able to view the stop point even when I can't edit would let me know if the HN needs to be changed before I request an unlock.

  13. Invert PUR Filter by type

    With the latest release of WME, we can now filter place update requests (PURs) by type. There should be an option to invert the filter. By doing this, I can select one type of PUR and show everything except that type.

  14. Tijdens trajectcontroles gemiddelde snelheid tonen en ook op carplay aantonen hoelang deze nog is

    Tijdens een trajectcontrole je gemiddelde snelheid over die afstand weten is extreem handig zodat je jou kan aanpassen. En op carplay aantonen hoelang de traject controle duurt

  15. Signposts and crossings

    The possibility of adding signage points and pedestrian and cycle crossings, as on open street map.
    Signage is often unclear, especially horizontal signs during road resurfacing work. It would be helpful if the navigator warned of pedestrian crossings and signals such as giving way and stop signs.

  19. Allow closing/seeing closures on red turns

    Why?
    I got a UR with: from here you can only turn right.
    - I changed the wrong turns from green to red.
    - I would like to close the one I changed to have the change effective immediately instead of the next map update.

    The same is currently possible for one-way segments (you can close the other direction).

  20. Dead End Signs

    Very important to have a dead end sign on the map before heading down that street, since many times waze will recommend certain roads even though it’s a dead end. Hope this was helpful and becomes a feature. Thank you.
