Tell the editor why they can't edit Far Lanes
If you're below the required editor level to edit Far Lanes, then the Far Lanes interface is visible to you when editing Lane Guidance, but it's dimmed out - and there's no explanation why. For example, in Australia, Far Lanes requires Level 4 or higher - but nowhere in the Waze Map Editor does it mention this. For the user editing, the Far Lanes interface just appears greyed out for them for no apparent reason.
All that needs to be added is some kind of message that says "You need to be a higher level to edit Far Lanes" whenever…

Being able to add construction just like road closures
When you make a closure through the app or through WME , you are able to select one whole segment / multiple segments to apply the road closure on.
My Idea is that reporting construction would work just like reporting/making a closure, or probably giving the user the option to just place a warning or to select a whole road segment to add the construction to
And like european maps (from germany and nearby) , the whole segment should be covered in orange and white strips... Just like road closures but orange instead of red!

Change lane type sort order
Change the order to display non-driveable roads at the end of the list, as they are less used.

Traffic Control Devices
Enable editors to add traffic control devices to intersections like stop signs and traffic lights. This could help drivers navigate when there are few signs/lights.
It’d also be helpful since many drivers make “landmarks” along the way. They’ll know to look for the stop sign in 1000 ft, not just to make a right in 1000 ft.
I don’t think it makes sense to let phone users make these additions, though they can communicate through URs.

External providers: Also suggest places marked as permanently closed (with a proper mark)
WME uses Google Maps as the external provider in Israel and doesn't suggest places marked in Google as permanently closed. Meanwhile, showing that the place is marked as closed in Google would hint that the place needs additional checking and possibly should be removed from the Waze map.

Display locations where drivers often deviate from Waze directions
Locations where drivers frequently deviate from Waze directions may indicate mapping errors such as missing or incorrect turn restrictions, confusing turn instructions that drivers misunderstand and take a wrong turn, or poor routing where drivers know a better route than the one provided by Waze. It would be helpful for editors to have this data as an additional tool to detect possible locations for improvements to be made to the map.

Save filters
The new issue tracker is great, but I think it could be even better if we had the ability to save our own filters, so that I could create and save filters like: "no description", "unreplied", "rerported by me", etc.
For example, currently, if I want to filter unreplied URs I have to set: status = "open", types = "all types", description = "both", comments = "no comments", and uncheck "has comments".
It's really hard to always set all these options, and if I could save the filters, I would only have to do it once. Next time I could…

View of all types of roads in the editor view of the app
Hello,
It would be great if the map in the editor mode view would highlight unpaved roads, alleys and segments that have restrictions.
It would help editors to submit URs for our own attention and improve the map more easily.
Thank you.

Speed limit for default type of roads
Hi Everyone, Im editing in Vietnam area. I want to put default speed limit for roads. For example, in settings, I put 50kmh to Street or 90kmh to Major Highway, 120kmh to Freeway. Then, I add new roads, it automatically put speed limit according to value that I set before. It saves lot of time to edit. Tks in advance!

Is het mogelijk om je favorieten te categoriseren.
Is het mogelijk om je favorieten te categoriseren, zodat je niet een enorme lijst hebt om door te scrollen. Je **** dan naar het mapje gaan en daaruit kiezen. Google maps heeft deze mogelijkheid wel. Mvg

Traffic Control design
Traffic Control Design: Allow registered Contruction businesses to add traffic control setups(cones, utility workers present, etc.) when work is being done in certain areas and grant the ability to save those plans via PDF.

aggiungere la possibilità di correggere il limite di velocità in vigore sulla tratta percorsa (ove errato o modificato da lavori)
Vivo in svizzera. In questo paese la velocità consentita cambia molto frequentemente (specialmente in corrispondenza di lavori stradali) e questa cosa non va molto d'accordo con il fatto che qui sia consentito mettere autovelox senza alcun avviso. sarebbe fantastico se potessimo correggere i limiti di velocità in tempo reale per garantire la migliore informazione possibile a tutti.

External Providers Search Displays Too Little Information
The + Add linked Google place functionality on venues is incredibly difficult to use. When you search, the Waze-prioritized white space leaves almost no room for the search results to actually contain usable data. As it is now, I often have to guess as to which place it might be and often have to repeat the process making editing places very inefficient. Please expand the information displayed here so that this functionality is actually useful to finding and linking Google places. The whole name of a place should appear along with a complete address.
106 votesThank you for submitting this suggestion!
At the moment, when you hover over a place, it shows its complete address. Is this something that solves the original issue you mentioned?
If not, we would love to hear from you on how it can be improved.
Thank you!

Easier to switch between Brief and Sound On instructions
I like the Brief Instructions when I'm in familiar territory. I like full instructions when going somewhere new or unfamiliar.
It would be great if I could easily switch between the two. Could we add "Brief" alongside "Sound Off" "Alerts Only" and "Sound on" instead of going through the settings menu?1 vote -
Routines
I go to work every weekday around 8:00, and come home around 5:00. WAZE seems to know this, as it pops up on my screen so I can easily select it.
There are several routes to take between my home and work. Often, I drive the same route. Occasionally, there is an accident, construction, etc... so another route is better. So I always like to check WAZE.
WAZE knows that I'm going to work, and I generally know how I'm getting there. So, automatically provide minimal directions. If traffic is bad on my usual route, switch to full directions. When…1 vote -
Import a customer address list to route management
the possibility of adding a list of addresses via csv and using them to optimize the route that the delivery man must follow to deliver the products would be useful
