Unit of measurement according to the location/country.
It would be advisable for the unit of measurement of each country to be respected according to the region/location of the account. For example, in Brazil, KPH is used instead of MPH. It would be appropriate for the unit of measurement to correspond to the location where the editing is performed.

Allow one School Zone Polygon to Overlap, without creating multiple Polygons
Now we can overlap different polygons over each other, but if we create one Polygon for a school most of the times this Polygon has to go over itselft to cover the whole School zone, unfortunately if you go over the same polygon this will have a conflict and the area where is overlapping opens up, not allowing for the same polygon to overlap, so right now we have to bring part of the polygon very close to the other part and then extend the other side to the School sign without overlapping. this will allows us to created a…

Mytery drive
You know how some people like to go for a Sunday ride? We'll this app would be for you.
A map app that you could put in where you are, how long you want to drive, maybe what kind of things you to see. And it would give you some options of drives and you could pick one. They would be different kinds like staying off highways, or include them. Ways maybe you wouldn't think of going. You wouldn't have to have a destination. It could be just a circle back to your house or to a destination with different…3 votes -
issue tracker: add new area filter - "My editable areas"
For new editors, without a managed area the current Area filters don't allow them to see everything they have editing rights to manage. There should be an additional "My editable areas" option that filters aligned to the Editable Areas layer.
92 votesGreat timing! We’re currently working on the "My Editable Areas" option. Keep an eye out for updates on the WME.

missing sign icon, speed camera icon
There used to be an icon for missing signs, can we have it back? Here in Florida, we have lots of missing signs due to hurricane damage. Also, there are new speed cameras that are solar powered so they can be placed anywhere. Can we get an icon for those?

WME Feed customise by country
WME Default loading is launching with feed showing KoiFish suggestions that are locked for almost all editors.
Most L1-2 editors cannot add these and cannot hide them either. As a display, it is very confusing for them.
Without taking away any choices in Feed selection, it would be nice if the WME Default Feed could either be selected by country as defined by coordinators or at least remove KoiFish suggestion as default load for all editors.

Add a new closure type: “Intermittent Road Closure”
Description:
I suggest adding a new closure type called “Intermittent Road Closure” to better represent real-world temporary blockages where traffic is periodically allowed to pass. Examples include religious processions, parades, public events, or heavy machinery crossings that alternate between blocking and reopening the road every few minutes (e.g., every 15 or 30 minutes).Problem:
Currently, Waze only supports full or partial closures. However, intermittent closures behave differently: they can cause significant delays but do not justify a total reroute. This creates inaccurate routing decisions and unnecessary detours.Proposed Solution:
Implement an intermittent closure option with the following behavior:- Allows editors…

Remove turns you wouldn’t make off a highway onto a sideroad
Title, i know the “remove difficult intersections” exists, but i’ve tried with or without it and it wants me to go from 55 to 20 (school zone). Over four lanes of traffic, and, on a busy road by me. It’s happened before in other states aswell. Thank you!

Route under Sightseeing aspects
If you're choosing a route , waze suggests it always under the aspect of as-fast-as-possible aspects. I got time and am looking for a route under sightseeing aspects, For me it does'nt matter if the route lasts 2 hours longer. i'll make a rest in a nice littel town in a café and are enjoying the landscape.
So we have to use our analog paper map, waze is not really helpfull.
Please give the possibility, to choose a route under touristic aspects.3 votes -

Streamlining changes for adding house numbers
I'd like to suggest two related changes regarding the addition of house numbers. These are small changes, but in UI design, frictions like this can add up when one is performing the same action over and over.
- Always keep the text field active when selecting a house number point
After clicking to add a house number, the text field to enter the number is automatically active and can be typed in (which is great!) But, when clicking and dragging either the house number itself or the entry point, the cursor goes away, and one has to click the number field…

Show map error icon in the app / Kartenfehler Icon in der App anzeigen
Report card error should be displayed as an icon in the app so that the sender can see that the card error has been transmitted and can also edit the comment by clicking on the icon to make it easier for the editor to solve the problem.
Kartenfehler melden sollte als Icon in der App angezeigt werden, damit der Absender zum Einen sieht, dass der Kartenfehler übertragen wurde und zum Anderen den Kommentar pflegen kann durch Klick auf das Icon, um es dem Editor zu vereinfachen, das Problem zu lösen.

Ability to switch from segment node to junction.
When adding a junction to a segment, the only way now is to add a road and delete it.
clicking a segment and adding a node and being able to toggle that to a junction would make it less messy of adding and deleting roads.7 votes -

Support optional "display name" specifically for Area Places
The "name" field of an Area Place serves two completely separate functions. First, it seeks to form, together with the address, a unique search hit; this could involve a lot of text. But second, it displays on the app for everyone nearby.
Most drivers probably don't care about detail in the displayed name; for them, excessive detail may distract rather than help. For example, in some countries editing conventions dictate that rest stops along freeways should have highly detailed primary names in order to make them useful search hits, such as:
"Rest Area (no facilities) - I-680 mile 58 Benicia-Martinez…
