  1. Edit in easy Residential/Commercial Construction Area on Level 1

    I was looking to add an easy designated construction area with an entrance that would have its own designation instead of placing it under "Other" on my Level 1. The residential/commercial project also dose not have a name so I placed the Company, and project affiliates in the description.
    The edit submitted seemed to be dry and non-descriptive because of the lack of options. I am not looking to apply for a larger numerical level, but would prefer that the Level 1 be updated on the computer dashboard.
    There are major construction obstructions on the street that have no designation…

  2. Enhanced Dynamic Segment Creation and Editing

    Dynamic Curve Adjustment:

    I propose introducing a dynamic segment creation tool in the Waze Map Editor. This tool would allow users to create a segment by selecting the start point and the endpoint, and then dynamically adjusting the curve by dragging the segment with the mouse. Additionally, the properties menu would enable further adjustments, including angle degrees, after the segment has been created.

    Users can click to set the start and end points of a segment.
    The segment curve can be adjusted in real-time by dragging with the mouse, providing a more intuitive and precise way to shape roads.

  3. See Editable Areas and Area Managers when zoomed out

    The layers "Editable Areas" and "Area Managers" are only visible at zoom layers 12 and above.

    It would be helpful to see these layers at larger zoom levels to better understand what areas you can edit, and who the relevant Area Managers are.

  4. 5 Digits for Gas prices in Colombia

    In colombia the prices of Gas and Diesel have 5 digits, but when a lot of wazers wants to update the prices, in the App we find that in the moment to write the updated price at the 4 digit in the cell the cursor jumps to next cell, this produces in the map wrong prices and wrong ranking of Cheap and Expensive gas stations.

  5. Public construction site road network editors

    Creating an account for construction site managers to be able to add site road networks and speed limits within private construction sites. This would enable clear directions within private construction sites with detailed information including specific delivery locations, specific work zones or site offices, etc.
    The feature could be made available per construction site to a selected manager and a secondary person under an approved waze editor who would validate additions / changes before they are published to ensure they are valid.
    This could potentially also be a revenue stream as you could have a small subscription fee to enable…

  6. Expand original category of a new place

    Today, when adding a new place, we cannot assign to it a specific sub-category at once (except sub-categories of Car Services). We have to assign a generic category, then remove it and either enter the sub-category directly, or add again the proper category, expand it, and select the sub-category from the list. I suggest enabling expanding of the originally assigned category similar to categories added later.

  7. In Greenville, WI, most of our address start with a letter in front of the number.

    In Greenville, WI, most of our addresses start with a letter in front of the number (e.g., W6000 Greenville Dr). Can you allow letters in the street number to ensure accuracy?

  8. Recategorizing UR's when solving

    Add a feature to WME to recategorize the Solved UR's when closing those. This would give Waze a true insight of what reports are really needed and vice versa, what are rare and could actually just be within General Error category etc. Based on my research of all Solved UR's in Finland for last 3 months only about 50% were in right category.

    In my opinion this would help to reduce and refocus UR categories to better match with reality which in turn helps users when they are reporting meaning less UR's with wrong category -> Better data and better…

  10. Editing Your Suggested Features

    Waze Live Map lets you add a new place, but in some cases, your device might not record the correct place or coordinates. When you want to edit the suggested place by placing the location symbol in the correct place on WME, it doesn't let you edit and recommends that it can only be edited by a Level 2 or higher.
    My idea is that it should let you edit your suggestion on WME regardless of your level, and then the reviewer can approve it.

  11. Add height, width restriction for roads, and height, width of vehicle as config option

    It is very annoying using Waze and being routed on some shortcut through a tunnel or some narrow road where your car doesn't fit.
    This happened to me few times while driving a camper.

  12. Hallo. Wäre ein Option für Grenzübergang zu sperren nicht schlecht.

    Hallo. Wäre ein Option für Grenzübergang zu sperren nicht schlecht.
    Mit Einsatzfahrzeug darf ich nicht über die Grenze fahren, aber manchmal führt die Navi mich dort durch. Und manchmal verbietet auch keine andere Option.
    Wie ich mich errinere, in iGo Navigation war diese Option verfügbar.
    Ich glaube könnten wir hier auch nutzen.

  14. Complex intersection in WME / Intersección Compleja en WME

    I suggest that the "Permanent Hazard > Complex Intersection" option should be restricted to connection nodes only, preventing its placement on segments. This will ensure accurate and consistent usage of the feature.

    Sugiero que la opción "Peligro permanente > Intersección compleja" se limite únicamente a los nodos de conexión, evitando su ubicación en segmentos. Esto garantizará un uso preciso y consistente de la función.

  16. Separators and Decimal Signs per Language

    I noticed that in the Waze Editor, under Trips and Segment Lengths, there is a number where the sign for a decimal is a .
    For example: At 175 kilometers and 300 meters it says: 175.300 km
    In the Netherlands, for example, we use different signs to indicate decimals.
    At 1000 meters we do: 1.000 meters
    At 25 kilometers and 200 meters we do: 25,200 km (or 25.200 meters).

    For example, you see 844 meters for the lengths of segments. If you then click on a segment, it suddenly says 1.340 km. For us in the Netherlands, that is 1340…

  17. New Permanent hazard: Check-point

    In many countries, fixed check-points are installed on the road. It could be done by Police, Customs, Tax services, Weight check... and even borders.

    It would be great to have those marqued on the map as permanent Hazard " Check point". It has basically the same effect of a toll booth: You often need to stop there, or a least drive through at a very reduced speed.

    This would be a great safety enhancement for both drivers and those manning those check points.

  18. Invert PUR Filter by type

    With the latest release of WME, we can now filter place update requests (PURs) by type. There should be an option to invert the filter. By doing this, I can select one type of PUR and show everything except that type.

  19. Learn and adapt to sequential traffic light switching

    In Germany, switching traffic lights in sequence is a common thing ("Grüne Welle" - green wave). At some intersections, it would be great if the sequencing pattern is recognized by an algorithm to guide wazers based on their position in the traffic light sequencing, i.e. that on a long straight, the signal to turn left is only active in the first 30sec after turning green.

  20. Suburb borders that add suburbs to segments automatically

    Right now, every time we make a new segment on the map, we have to assign it to a suburb manually. Not only is this tedious, but it's prone to mistakes by editors, especially when editing near a suburb border.

    But, in many countries, suburbs have a fixed area, and all roads inside that suburb's area will be part of that suburb.

    If map editors were able to simply define the borders of each suburb in a state or country, then Waze could automatically assign any segment to the correct suburb, just by checking which suburb's area the segment falls…
