  1. 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.

  2. Issue Tracker Option ~ Add ability to have Map Area and Managed Area at same time

    We need the ability to have the "Map area" option selected along with either the "Managed area" or "Specific location" option selected.

    Why you may ask?

    This just happened to me.

    I keep my settings as "Managed area" or "Specific location" so that I can work URs, PURs, etc anywhere any my managed area or State without being at a specific map area

    Someone contacts me by chat for assistance in a location that is not in my managed area or specific location (whichever I have set) and I help them out. Reporter is a happy camper.

    Since I don't…

  3. Bring back pave roads

    Bring back the "Pave Road" function in the phone app.

    If this makes a lot of duplicate roads, even them out, or make it easy to remove the wrong ones/ keep the good one..

    Also bring back the "Pacman-style road verification" that was here 10 years ago.

  4. Commercial vehicle restricted Roads

    Rotherhithe tunnel in London is restricted. Commercial vehicles are not allowed to use it, but Waze always routes you through. People are getting hefty fines when they follow the guidance from Waze and if there are road closures on a usual river crossing, it always sends you through here.

    I'm sure there are many commercial vehicle restricted roads that Waze routes you through, especially in London.

    Please, PLEASE! look into having a commercial vehicle option. You've got motorbikes, private, EVs and taxis. How about you look after the ones that drive as part of their job.

    I hope this gets…

  6. Enable closure duplication on expired closures

    It would be very convenient if you could duplicate an expired closure as you currently can with an active or planned one.

  9. Editor visibility default state should be Visible (not invisible)

    Problem Description:
    I frequently see my status as invisible when logging into WME, even after I have previously explicitly set it to visible. The visibility appears to reset back to invisible after some time has elapsed, maybe a day or more, or perhaps it resets after session expiry. I am not certain exactly what criteria causes the visibility to reset back to invisible. I would much prefer to remain visible in WME without having to repeatedly check and manually set myself back to visible each time I authenticate or access WME.

    Requested Solution:
    Please adjust the default value or default…

  10. Add map comments to the "All issues" section

    It would be great to have all map comments in one place, and the all issues sections seems perfect for this. Include some filters like comment type (point, area), comment expiration date, comment creator (me, other), etc.

  11. Emergency services

    An exciting enhancement for the Waze Map Editor could be the addition of markers for emergency service stations and permanent buildings, categorized into two types:

    Interactive markers (a single tap on any icon adds it to your route):

    - Hospitals: Represented by a red and white "H".

    - Police stations: Displayed as a house outline with a badge inside.

    - Fire stations: Depicted as a house outline with a fire axe or fire truck inside.

    Passive icons:

    - Schools: Highlighted with a zone area around them. When a route passes through, it triggers an alert similar to "Road hazard ahead".

  12. Improve/change the error message

    Improve/change the error message when low level editors tries to delete the house number on streets with higher locks. Now we got "Error saving, try later" message. It gives, to editor, no idea of what the problem is, and the user may thinks that's a WME bug. By changing this message, it will give to editor and mentor/higher levels editor's more information to understand where the problem lies.

  13. Update gas prices where Waze venue is linked to GM place via external provider

    Idea by reivaxX162.

    Around the globe, Google Maps has already rolled out gas station prices. Many gas stations mapped in Waze are linked to GM via the external provider setting. Waze could automatically update the Waze gas prices where it is linked via the external provider. This would allow automatic price updates globally with little ease, and leverage the work GM has already done.

  14. Animais na rua

    As cidades brasileiras estão cheias de animais abandonados ou em condição de rua. Milhares são atropelados todos os anos. Avisar os motoristas sobre estes animais, pode salvar muitas vidas.

  17. On WME could there be a way to show UR that we already replied to as a notification in the notifications area on WME.

    So i would suggest receiving notification from existing UR from the WME notification tabs (top right) that we have already replied to once the reporter has acknowledged us editors' response to their report that would link us directly to that report, the current method so far is via email when waze actually notify us or in the app also the app notification only shows when the app is open.

    This would eliminate us having to go into our email every minute as to locate that specific UR as there are usually over 10, 20 UR in one spot that number…

    Pls add covered bridge warnings like the train track warnings you already have. I live in Lancaster County PA where such bridges are severely damaged by large vehicles that shouldn’t be on them.
