Make hazard potholes permanent
Dear Waze Team,
Please consider adding the option to mark potholes as permanent hazards, similar to how permanent speed cameras are handled. In South Africa, many potholes remain unrepaired for months or even years. Making these hazards visible on a long-term basis would significantly improve road safety and help drivers avoid costly damage, accidents, and injuries.
This feature could make a real difference in countries where road maintenance is lacking, and it aligns perfectly with Waze’s mission to improve driving experiences through community-driven insights.
Thank you for your consideration!

disponibilizar uma rota quando fazemos um percurso planejado
Seria importante o Waze disponibilizar uma rota quando fazemos um percurso planejado.
As vezes precisamos saber as vias que iremos passar para nos programarmos ou programar alguns pontos de encontro na rota.4 votes -
Lane guidance: Make "View Only" and "View and Hear" behaviors consistent for "continue straight" lanes
In WME we have two options if we want to force "continue" lane guidance to be surfaced to the user - view only, and view and hear (or more recently, with and without audible instructions).
Aside from the obvious difference in whether or not an audible instruction is issued to "use the Left 3 lanes to continue straight ..." or only a visual instruction, there's another more subtle behavior change that is not always welcome - namely, if you use the "View and Hear" option, it is additionally treated as a "Continue" TIO (turn instruction override). This means that, if…

Aviso de aclive/declive acentuado.
Importante colocar aviso de aclive/declive acentuado principalmente em ruas coletoras/arteriais/vias expressas/federais e etc. Poderia ter a função também de o motorista, nas configurações, colocar pra "evitar", nunca mandar ou permitir vias com aclives e declives muito acentuados, e colocar a tonelada(a medida do carro). Deve ser colocado manualmente no Waze Map Editor. Nível 1 podem editar isto. O aviso é oral pelo som de navegação escolhido pelo motorista. Deve ser colocado visualmente também.

Average speed and time checkpoint
Hello Waze. Since in certain points on the planet the speed limit is already measured by time, which determines the average speed, I would like to suggest that you create a checkpoint counter on a given section with the time the driver has left to the other camera, so that he is not in violation and will be within the average speed limit. This will improve by reducing accidents caused by improper speed, will provide normal and calm driving and will better optimize the road network by building a backup of optimized information with the option to upgrade the navigation…

House Number (HN) Mode recenters map
When hitting H to enter HN editing mode, the map is recentered and zoomed on the selected segment. There should not be any zoom or centering change if the current zoom level allows for HN editing.

Add an option to delete a community schedule
The scheduler does not have the option to delete a community schedule. Some schedules were added for testing, and some are not needed anymore since no school zone uses that schedule. It is suggested that any schedule that is not used at all, or when the defined time has expired, can be deleted.

Añadir las zonas de bajas emisiones y que la app te redirija atendiendo a si tu coche puede entrar o no
En una gran cantidad de ciudades hay ya las habituales Zonas de Bajas Emisiones. Sería idoneo poder meterlas en Waze y que así puedas circular sin miedo ya que la aplicación te dirá por donde no puedes entrar

Issue Tracker - add filter by Language
Now that the Language setting is attached to URs, it would be very beneficial in terms of efficiency to have the ability to filter by language in the Issue Tracker.
The filter should allow editors to select one or more languages and either include or exclude the selection.
For example:
1. include: English + French + Greek
2. exclude: Greek35 votesGreat timing! We’re currently working on adding filter by language. Keep an eye out for updates on the WME.

Add feature for people with Military Base Access to delete places.
People with base access should be able to delete place points and place areas for OPSEC considerations. When I noticed an OPSEC concern with a barracks building being mapped I had to notify a Discord chat to get the PP deleted. There should be a way to delete places like this without drawing more attention to it. Maybe if a Waze Map Editor has so many drives on post or uploads a DOD Cyber Awareness cert they could be trusted to modify on post places.

Development Idea for Waze
Feature Proposal:
Currently, another app called Sidecar offers a feature that Waze does not have: it displays speed limits and traffic signs directly on the car’s digital dashboard. This feature is available on vehicles like the Range Rover Sport 2023.
The idea is to develop a Waze integration that allows:
Displaying speed limits on the digital dashboard.
Recognizing and showing traffic signs on the dashboard in real-time.
Providing drivers with essential navigation information without looking at the phone, enhancing safety and convenience.
This would require Waze to leverage direct vehicle integration, possibly through Apple CarPlay, Android…3 votes -
Make the UR Issues Tracker a Tracker and not a Filter
Currently the Issues Tracker is not a tracker, but rather a filter because it hides other URs (issues) on the map.
Ad an option not to hide URs on the map and display the default view (default setting in tracker)... so yes, we need to have some default options (that each user can change)... and when this option not to hide URs on the map to display the default view (including URs).
For example:
I always leave everything to see on my map - my default.
When searching for new URs or looking for URs with answers from reporters, I…136 votes -
Exibir nome do Posto de Combustíveis e Bandeira.
No aplicativo ao clicar em Posto para ver o preço dos combustíveis, ou quando clica em + e escolhe Preço de combustíveis, se tiver cadastrado o posto e for colocado o nome da Rede, invés de mostrar o nome do Posto como principal, e facilitar a atualização de preços, aparece o nome da rede, quando existe 2 posto um pouco próximo, atrapalha a identificação, deve ser prioritário o nome do posto e abaixo a rede.

Better UX for WME boxes
Since Firefox hides the scrollbar when it'**** in use, some of the boxes in WME may contain more than the visible lines, but it's not immediate.
For instance, in the suggestion recap box, or in the Add Menu.I'd suggest adding a scrolling shadow, showing a shadow on the top when there is more content on the top and on the bottom when there is more on the bottom.
It comes from a CSS guru, Lea Verou https://lea.verou.me/blog/2012/04/background-attachment-local/I also added the horizontal version and generated a couple of CSS classes I use on the sites I develop: https://codepen.io/massic80/pen/jOQWxNm

Narrow Road Permanent Hazard
This permanent hazard would warn users of an upcoming section of narrower road width that has traffic and/or safety considerations. Potential applications include:
Areas where a two-way road transitions to a single-lane width where opposing traffic must alternate/give way through the narrow section

Apple Calendar Integration for Smart Navigation Suggestions
I would like to request an integration between Waze and Apple’s native Calendar app. If I have events scheduled with associated locations, Waze should be able to access this information and proactively suggest navigation — similar to how it currently suggests driving to “Home” or “Work”.
In Apple CarPlay, there is already a one-tap button to start navigation to Home or Work without opening any menu. This same functionality could be extended to also suggest navigation to the location of the current or upcoming calendar event.
This automation would significantly enhance the user experience and allow Waze to better integrate…
