Stick to main roads - in UK
Alongside the ‘avoid single track’ vote I also suggest there is a ‘stick to main roads’ option. Waze seems very keen to send me down twisty side roads where it’s hard to pass as there are cars parked on both sides, it sends me down country lanes which are NOT faster and through little villages, which, although scenic, can be very tiring on a long journey. Also, the side streets and single track lanes often lead to a tricky right turn (UK) onto a fast road, even a tricky left turn. I like Waze for the notifications of speed limits,…

Display clogged and cluttered with senseless labels of streetnames
Quite often, in dense areas, the display of my cellphone is cluttered with adjacent streetnames shown as big labels. These labels/names hide the map details (i.e. approaching turns, exits etc.). So I am distracted by zooming in and out and panning the screen.
I would REALLY like the opportunity, to switch OFF the streetname label.3 votes -

Make editor impact more obvious
Drivers get a regular report of their reporting impact, such as how many reports and how many people were impacted and helped. It would be nice if WME did something similar. Perhaps in the editing history show some statistics to allow editors to see their impact for edits.
Such as:
Segments: Give a rough estimate of how many drivers navigated to a destination on this segment or traversed the segment (such as navigated to a PP with a stop point or to a HN).
Places: How many users have searched for / navigated to this place.
Under each edit in…

Road Closures History
For a segment, it can be useful to have the history of closures, with start and ending, especially the most recent ones.
This could help in the management of some UR (a closed segment the previous days helps to think that the segment is still closed).
198 votesGreat timing! We’re currently working on having the history of closures. Keep an eye out for updates on the WME.

Phone number extensions
Enable editors to add extensions to phone numbers by adding a semicolon after the completed phone number. This way, mobile phones will automatically dial the extension for a user.

Make new editors complete a quiz on the wiki before they can edit.
After being locked out from editing after a bad user last year and only regaining editing permissions early this year, I was thinking you could create a compulsory quiz that new editors have to complete before they can edit the map. This would help prevent rogue users that don't understand what their actions do to the maps and creating a better editing experience for everyone.

When updating places on the map should grant points per change or addition made
Every change or addition made to a place on the map should grant an edit point for every change or addition e.g. presently if I select a place on the map and link to google and include phone number this will grant only 1 point. Make it 2 to give incentive to do more and better corrections to places on the map

Don't display a connection node where there isn't any connection
If one segment touches another segment somewhere in the middle it should be visible if there are two or three segments. Think of a T-crossing. At the spot where the segments meet a dot is displayed, which suggest there is a connection, but sometimes there isn't any: instead of 3 segments there are only 2. Better only display this dot when there is really a connection.

Personalizing dashboard option for frequently used notifications to improve posting time
Create the ability for users to select a handful (3 or 4) user-selected notifications of common notifications they post in Waze as the notice them on the road so they can access them directly from the Waze dashboard in the Waze app on Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
Also create the option for Waze users to update or change the notifications they want to show and have quick access to on the Waze dashboard.
This would improve the customer experience of using the app, improve the amount of notifications submitted by Waze users, and minimize the time lost by Waze…

Smoke on Road
Users should have the possibility to report a common danger in the road: Smoke. It can be from wildfires as described in another suggestion, however roads are not necessarily closed.
We have dangers like "ice on road" or "snow", however those are never used in countries where winter never gets below 0°C (or is highly unlikely). On the contrary, every year there are fires causing road hazards with visibility dropping considerably.

- new route guidance box and fonts too large make smaller.
- too many icons on display map . Have them go to sleap after 30 seconds. Too much of the map is lost.

Multiple entry points
Waze should re-enable its multiple entry points feature (eg one side of building or another).
Instead of using the first entry point, Waze users should be directed to the one that’s marked as the main point in the editor.

ability to write/entered info while reviewing images in UR
Hi
It is difficult when accepting user requests (if they contain a picture) and a name is not entered, for example.. to transfer the name from the shop board and to write at the same time.. because the way pictures are displayed in the map editor prevents you from writing if you only display any A picture, why can't we write in the side panel of the information and at the same time look at the pictures "the store's billboard" and transfer any information from it so that everything is added accurately?6 votes
