Absent Segments in Waze
There are people using Waze moving through segments NOT YET drawn.
KoiFish apparently can not trigger a warning for us to create such segments.Examples (enable GPS points to see)

Please vote! Thank you!!

Allow snapping of places geometry nodes together
It would be very useful to be able to "snap" geometry nodes of two different places together (just like to when creating an intersection with two segments). This would ease the mapping of adjacent places (e.g.: a mall next to a park, or a river next to a park, that goes all the way to the edge of said river).
55 votesThanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

Add shortcut to the panel
In my opinion, it would be very useful to add shortcuts next to the possible actions in the panel, so that by seeing them often, editors could remember them better and use them more frequently.
You can see an example here https://drive.google.com/file/d/1EDSybQCFW-2n-if12sFXVMXC6Zkef4UV/view?usp=drivesdk44 votes -
Add option to make restrictions visible similar to closures
This goes together with a suggestion on the APP side to add an option to display some restricted segments.
Since there is no easy way to add closures based on a schedule, there are times it would be nice to have restrictions that can be scheduled show in the app similar to a closure. That way someone driving without a route will have the visual cue like a closure.

Include Permanent Hazard (PH) changes in segment history
Currently, when a Permanent Hazard (PH) is added or updated in a segment, no record is created in the segment's history.
Ideally, changes to their attributes should be tracked, but for now, recording when they are added or updated would be very helpful.

WME Client simulator
With each additional functionality on WME (Paths / Far-Lanes / Jubra / Junction box / lanes / ....) gets increasingly difficult to map. This makes it more likely that us map editores will make some kind of mistake or don’t take something into consideration. Having a way to preview the changes before they are live on the map will made both editors and client less frustrated, with a more accurate map.

Person on road" to Hazard Reports (On Shoulder)
Currently, there is no specific option to report pedestrians or people walking along the side of the road. When driving on narrow suburban or rural roads that lack sidewalks, encountering people on the shoulder represents a major safety hazard.
Many users currently use the "Animal" or "Object" report as a workaround, but this is neither accurate nor clear for oncoming drivers.
Proposed Solution:
Please add a dedicated "Pedestrian" or "Person on shoulder" sub-option under the Hazard -> On shoulder reporting menu.Why this is useful:
Safety first: It would instantly alert drivers to slow down and pay extra attention, which…

Waze Head up display
When I make a route with an app like Apple maps or Google maps in Carplay. I can follow the navigation on my Mercedes head up display. However, this is not the case with Waze. This would certainly be an added value.

Associate permanent hazards with a path
When using permanent hazards, they sometimes only apply to some of the traffic on a give segment. An example would be a freeway segment where oncoming traffic from one ramp, and exiting traffic from the freeway merge on a specific segment between on and off ramps. If we add the multiple lanes merging hazard, it will alert for both groups but also all traffic that continues on the freeway even though it does not impact them. Instead, I have it mapped on the on-ramp but not for exiting traffic to alert to this often challenging merge zone.

Add “Pedestrian Crossing Zone” Warning in WME Map Editor
💡 Idea Description:
I suggest adding a new warning option in the WME Map Editor named “Pedestrian Crossing Zone” to be used in areas with frequent pedestrian movement, such as:
Local markets and shopping centers
Hospitals and medical facilities
Schools and universities
Parks and recreational areas
In reality, there are visible pedestrian crossing signs in these places, but this warning option does not currently exist in WME. As a result, drivers are not alerted to slow down or pay attention to crossing pedestrians in these locations.
🚗 Importance of the Suggestion:
Adding this warning will help drivers to:
Reduce speed…

Multiple temp road closures = MP
I've had many circumstances where a road has been marked as closed by drivers through the app, but we only discover it around a week later when someone raises a PUR for it.
Is it possible for multiple driver reported closures on the same/adjacent segments to result in a MP or system generated PUR so that it's brought to our attention sooner?
Often these closures are seen on sites such as One.Network, but not pulled through automatically.

Virtual Cockpit Audi MMI
Hello, so nowadays there are updates on AUDI virtualCockPit to see waze on dashboard and not only in MMI display.
It works perfectly, but the buttons on the wheel is not working not zooming in, zooming out.
MMI version:
MHI2QERAUG22_P5092it's working through carplay. Point is that google maps are working perfectly with wheel buttons to zoom in and zoom out. it's waze's app issue and not audi.

Additional verification options in WME
I need additional options for verification in WME.
For example:
1) Code in SMS message to the registered number
2) Code in voice call to the registered number
3) Verification with another device (like Google verification even from a device in offline mode)
As you know, these options do not reduce the level of security and are not difficult to implement. Any of the additional options would help me a lot. (Yes, it is unusual, but complicated for me via email)Thanks in advance

Variable Speed Limits
Variable speed limits on motorways should be a feature.
It could be a tick box to add (as a speed camera is), which lets users know the maximum speed limit, but also that it is variable in that section.
And/or, users can report what the variable speed limit is while in a variable speed limit zone. A pop up could come up like for petrol station prices.With enough responses, the most chosen speed limit can be shown to the users as the variable speed limit, and/or used to indicate whether the app will alert the user with sound for…

Show Permanent Hazard edit count on the editor profile page
Currently the editor profile page has the House Number edit count listed twice - the duplicate could be replaced with a total count of edits received from editing all Permanent Hazards. There are lots of hazard types now and editors would enjoy knowing the impact they are making by mapping them!

Would like to hear verbal announcements when the speed limit changes. Do not give me verbal directions on my normal home or work trips unle
Would like to hear verbal announcements when the speed limit changes.
Do not give me verbal directions on my normal home or work trips unless the suggested trip deviates from the normal drive between to points such as home and work. I know the way to work and home. Please only give verbal suggestions if the best drive there would be better due to some other traffic that would delay the trip.
I also don't need a reminder 200 feet away from an intersection and then another as I get there. Sometimes these announcements are only 5 seconds apart. It…

Display summary of saved changes for all hazards in WME
In the current state when adding, modifying or removing any hazards (i.e. cameras, railway crossings, sharp curves, speed bumps, complex intersections, multiple lanes merging, toll booths, school zones and traffic lights) in WME, these edits show as pending changes when hovering over the save button.
However, after pressing the save button, the summary of saved changes does not show a summary of hazards added, modified or removed. It only says "saved".
I am suggesting to provide a list of changes made after pressing the saved button in WME.

Master chief line performances and lines
Not sure what this category nor where to put this. But i absolutely hate when master cheif calls me a soldier. Im uniquely from a position like him. Its SAILOR, SHIPMATE, MARINE, DEVIL, DEVILDOG. NOT SOLDIER! THATS ARMY! Everyone Master cheif worked with was MARINES and Sailors. I absolutely love that yall changed some lines around like him talking about the Covenant, there was some cool *** lines like "finish the fight" but that should be like on the longer or around when u have to do like 2+ back to back turns, or if your getting off the freeway…

Update 'Actionable URs' filter
Update the logic of the 'Actionable URs' filter to show all actionable URs regardless of the number of consecutive comments left by the reporter. The UR should remain in the "Actionable" feed as long as an editor has not yet responded
