  1. Map colors

    You should put the same card colors as the edit mode. It will be better seen and clearer.

  2. Mark segments as "slip lanes" that delay voice instructions

    At the moment, ramp segments generally delay voice instructions until you have merged or turned onto the segments at the end of the ramp, such as a freeway or highway.

    Australia and some other countries utilise "slip lanes" at some intersections, which is basically a left turn (for countries that drive on the left) that does not use the main intersection.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slip_lane

    When a slip lane is mapped on Waze, we usually implement the turn instruction where the driver enters the slip lane, as that is where they need to be told to turn. However, this can mean that Waze…

  3. Temporary downgrade of own editor level

    I’d like to suggest in the WME a switch (perhaps in the user control panel) for downgrading the own editor level.

    For example:
    If I’m a level 5 Editor, but only want to edit simple streets which are only on level 1, i can switch my own editor level to something lower than 5 for this action. This would prevent myself for accidental editing more important street e.g. highways.
    Compare this with an account in the IT… Even if I am an administrator… I shouldn’t be logged in always as an admin but just as a normal user with rights…

  4. Add surveillance camera as an option under the "enforcement cameras" category

    Add surveillance camera as an option under the "enforcement cameras" category. Currently there is only red light, speed, or fake. There are times where a camera is tagged as red light in my community but, in fact, it is only surveillance.

  5. Allow Manually Inputting an address in Waze on Android Auto (There is No Search Box)

    Why can't I manually input an address in Waze on Android Auto? It doesn't matter if I am stopped, parked, or driving. The search box doesn't show up anytime when I am using the app!!!

  6. Close User reports automatic after seven days with no response

    We suffer from the spread of reports on the map, and unfortunately we have to wait for seven days until they are closed. During this, weak reports may come that were previously, then it becomes difficult to close them. If the feature of closing after 7 days is included (in the event that there is no response from reporters) will be useful new for cleaning up the map from useless reports

  7. Properly display far lane guidance at exit arrows on Junction Boxes

    The current implementation of far lanes does not allow map editors to easily see the end result of their selection. We have to "guess" at what the app will actually display to the user and, many times, we have to actually drive there to experience the lanes.

    This feature requests Waze to add the ability to show the combined far lanes at the exit arrow of a Junction Box.

    Currently, if we block a turn using the Junction Box, the exit arrow turns red. If we change the voice prompt for an exit arrow (e.g. changing from Waze default to…

  8. Customize report icons

    Customize the display with "favorite" reports. For example when I drive I see many cars on the shoulder it takes 4 touch on my screen to report this. As this is a frequent one I see, I will add this to dashboard screen and when driving just one touch should send this. I would limit to "two icons" in the dashboard :-)

  9. URGENT : Possibility to indicate a closed road on Android Auto

    Dear Development team,

    Can you please take this point as priority.

    I'm using daily Waze on Android Auto.

    On Android Auto it is not possible to indicate from the interface when a road is Closed.

    This is a very dangerous situation, when we are driving. As we are totally lost at this moment, Waze is then not able to recalculate, as it will recalculate a way to take the closed road.
    So while driving, as most of the time it is difficult to stop somewhere), we need to unplug the phone, launch waze, indicate the trip as it can have…

  10. Filtering Waze Map editor Feed

    Hi.
    fi we had a chance to filter all the feeds that we receive in the main page of editor.
    This way they looks untidy and unwieldy, the filters may bring it back to life

  12. add RTC details to segment history in WME

    Currently in WME segment history we can see that a closure was added and when it was added, but It doesn't contain any details about the duration of the closure itself. If a closure is manually deleted by an editor I believe that also shows up in the history, but when a closure expires naturally that is not captured.

    It would be very useful if there was data about the actual closure itself. I'd like to at the very least be able to see when the RTC was scheduled to begin and end. This would help when there are URs…

  15. Project Zone for Large/Difficult Projects

    Sometimes when working on large projects, it is difficult to get the timing with tile updates to make a major project (or even smaller projects) go live at the correct time. Often this is done with adding segment restrictions to new segments, waiting for a TU, then applying an RTC and removing the restriction, so that when it goes live, just the RTC has to be removed. However, this usually only works when what is added is totally new and doesn't require reuse or reconfiguring of previous segments. It is also very difficult during reconfigurations when the project all of…

  16. Add Place setting to force arrival on drive side of road

    Please add a normally-off setting in Place entry points to force arrivals to be on the drive-side of the roadway. In urban areas it is common to have drop-off/pick-up or valet areas in front of hotels and similar places which cannot be accessed legally via a U-turn.

  17. Give the user the possibility to set the start and end point of construction sites

    Give the user the possibility to set the start and end point of construction sites. With that WAZE and they community know how long the construction sites will be (and can be better calculated with the speed limit). In addition, if an accident happend, you know where it happend within the construction sites and if it makes sense to avoid it, if possible.

  18. Unique alerts

    Enable editors (with minimum rank or role) to write unique verbal alerts on the map. Example: when crossing a country border, the app could alert users to get their documents ready. Another possible use is for agricultural and other permanent interior checkpoints.
