Turn openings (temporary green arrow)
I loved "turn closures", but now I see the need to have "turn openings".
For example, a left turn is usually prohibited (red arrow). However, due to an event occurring on the next block, this left turn is temporarily allowed (green arrow) for a few hours on a specific day.
This is a common situation and, depending on the location, can save a lot of time by avoiding an unnecessary detour of several kilometers.

]bz2012 ⑤ AM La: There is a problem I keep encountering: "accessable parking" is NOT allowed except for 'parking lot' places but many places try to add the feature on non parking lot locations.
It should really be allowed anywhere customer parking is allowed.

Road shields, ability to add different sign as override to the major one used for that street name
In Finland, we currently have named roads as "180 - Saaristotie" etc. and would like to get rid of the number in street name and just leave the shield. But that is not possible because we have quite a few locations where road number changes while road name stays the same. Another problem is when road category changes to minor road so that the number drops off completely.
So there is a need for feature where you could set an override shield to selected segments while the default sign for that road name stays active on other segments.

Move Previous Build Button
The small bar with tile build information moves and sometimes covers elements as different parts of WME are accessed. With the exception of my phone in landscape orientation, there seems to be an excessive amount of extra space on the tile bar. My suggestion is to move it to the tile bar on the left, near the settings button.

Third Lane Ahead Warning for Drivers in BRAZIL
I would like to suggest that Waze use a notification on Brazilian roads, similar to the ones already in place for speed bumps and potholes, to indicate the presence of a third lane on highways.
This would be very helpful since many roads in Brazil do not have dual lanes, and when a third lane does appear, it is extremely useful for all drivers.
Additionally, this notification could help reduce overtaking, as drivers would be warned in advance about the third lane ahead, allowing them to avoid unnecessary overtakes, thus reducing the risk of accidents.

Kunne være dejligt, hvis Waze kunne registrer kø automatisk, på samme måde som Google Map gør i dag.

Enhancing Waze with User-Contributed Neighborhood Names
As an avid user of Waze, I've experienced firsthand the convenience and efficiency this remarkable app offers. From navigating traffic congestion to discovering new routes, Waze has revolutionized the way we travel. However, there's always room for improvement, and I believe one feature that could significantly enhance the app is the ability for members to add neighborhood names to city maps.
Why This Feature Matters:
Local Insights: Who better to accurately name and define neighborhoods than the residents themselves? By allowing users to contribute neighborhood names, Waze can tap into local knowledge, ensuring that the app reflects the true identity…

Message from a user reporting the end of a closure, does not indicate the location
As a map editor, we can sometimes insert numerous closures in one day, due to construction or traffic events.
When a user reports that a closure is no longer active, I, as the editor who created it, receive a message in my application. However, this message only indicates the information that the user reported. Example: “This road is not closed”
This does not provide additional information, such as the name of the road or even the location’s PL. If I create a lot of closures, I can’t identify which location it is.4 votes -
Move Ferry, Railroad and Runway/Taxiway road types away from road type fast selection buttons
Those mentioned road types are about as rarely needed as the walking trail so moving those away from the normal road type selection buttons would be reasonable, there's no sense to keep those there. Maybe make submenu of those + Walking trail to that part of Unify Action Area?
This would have 2 benefits, it saves a little more of that limited space on left panel and also it helps to prevent accidental clicks which change road type and may go unnoticed when editor hits Save.

Need to add the option to change a roundabout if it is no longer there.
If construction has occurred and a roundabout is no longer there, we need the option to change the map to a straight street.

Remove bots from the last editor's username (updated field)
Lately, the last editor who edited an object appears to be a bot. There are a few names for bots: "matching feed 1", "waze-maint-bot", "Avsil".
IMO only human editors should appear as the last editor in the "updated" field. For example, if someone uses a script to filter edits done in the previous month, the filter includes many edits done by a bot, which is not what the user wants to see. The bot's name hides the name of the last human editor.
It is suggested that bots will not appear in the "updated" field.7 votes -
Seaarching on crossings
By long streets, it is easier to place two street names in the searching box so you can find direct the correct crossing, like it is possible in Google Maps

GASOLINERAS GLP y ELECTROLINERAS
Cada vez se utiliza más el combustible GLP las ELECTROLINERAS en España para que el vehículo tenga la etiqueta ECO. Pero hay muy pocas gasolineras que lo sirvan.
Conviene que Waze sepa esto de mi vehículo para que me lleve allí.3 votes -
Please can you introduce sub and sub-sub folders etc. for saved places.
It would be great to be able to have and categorise sub folders with labels such as restaurants, hospitals, friends, clients etc.. These might be further nested to a higher level by area, county or country for example.
It is really very cumbersome to scroll through hundreds of saved places to find the one I want. When I travel abroad I have different countries places all mixed together in one long list. With nested sub folders, finding a particular saved place could be done in mere seconds.9 votes
