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.

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.8 votes -
Speed limit visibility
When you pass the speed limit, for example riding a motorcycle, it becomes very difficult to read the actual speed.The speed indicator should be bigger, and when you traspass it, it shold have more contrast. I simply can´t see it on my phone. Maybe, as an option, the user could set the size and color of theese thins on screen. Thanksss

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.

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.

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

Habilitar botón de Obras Temporales
Seria una buena utilidad, habilitar una nueva función en el panel de avisos de acceso rápido en la App, para notificar Obras de larga duración, o Obras de Corta Duración, estipulando un intervalo de tiempo fijo para mantener los avisos.
Un ejemplo: Cortan un carril por obras, por una rehabilitación de la mediana en una autovía, el tiempo de la obra no lo sabes, pero al ver que es una obra de gran envergadura, pondrías Aviso de Obra Larga duración.
Ejemplo 2: Vas circulando y ves que están asfaltando una calle, seguramente en 2-3 días, este terminada. Notificas aviso de…13 votes -

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.

I would like the Level 1 Gold cloud to be a Normal NoN damaged Gold Cloud
I understand that new users are given beginning editing tools that culminate in results that would resemble the current status of the picture. Having had premium hands on knowledge with Photo/Video editing software I came to the conclusion that many mistakes were made because of the Waze editing software.
I have my name to this account and would like to request the picture represents Gold is a better light.1 vote -
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…1 vote -
