Show only POI which are along the route to destination
Show only POI which are along the route to destination. While a user is driving, typically user will like to see POS like Gas Station, Coffee Shop, Hair Salon which is along the route in SAME direction as his/her destination.
Make UX simpler so user can pick POI which are along the route in 1, 2 miles or 5, 10 minutes increments.

Allow closing/seeing closures on red turns
Why?
I got a UR with: from here you can only turn right.
- I changed the wrong turns from green to red.
- I would like to close the one I changed to have the change effective immediately instead of the next map update.The same is currently possible for one-way segments (you can close the other direction).
31 votesGreat timing! We’re currently working on it. Keep an eye out for updates on the WME.

Bring back pave roads
Bring back the "Pave Road" function in the phone app.
If this makes a lot of duplicate roads, even them out, or make it easy to remove the wrong ones/ keep the good one..
Also bring back the "Pacman-style road verification" that was here 10 years ago.

Commercial vehicle restricted Roads
Rotherhithe tunnel in London is restricted. Commercial vehicles are not allowed to use it, but Waze always routes you through. People are getting hefty fines when they follow the guidance from Waze and if there are road closures on a usual river crossing, it always sends you through here.
I'm sure there are many commercial vehicle restricted roads that Waze routes you through, especially in London.
Please, PLEASE! look into having a commercial vehicle option. You've got motorbikes, private, EVs and taxis. How about you look after the ones that drive as part of their job.
I hope this gets…

Indiquer les voies bloquées dans l'onglet "Fermetures" de WME
Bonjour,
Serait-il possible d’ajouter une option dans l'onglet "Fermetures" de Waze Map Editor pour indiquer précisément quelle voie est bloquée ? Cela permettrait d’utiliser les flèches de l'onglet "Voies et largeur" pour spécifier les fermetures plus en détail.
Merci !

Issue Tracker Option ~ Add ability to have Map Area and Managed Area at same time
We need the ability to have the "Map area" option selected along with either the "Managed area" or "Specific location" option selected.
Why you may ask?
This just happened to me.
I keep my settings as "Managed area" or "Specific location" so that I can work URs, PURs, etc anywhere any my managed area or State without being at a specific map area
Someone contacts me by chat for assistance in a location that is not in my managed area or specific location (whichever I have set) and I help them out. Reporter is a happy camper.
Since I don't…

Editor visibility default state should be Visible (not invisible)
Problem Description:
I frequently see my status as invisible when logging into WME, even after I have previously explicitly set it to visible. The visibility appears to reset back to invisible after some time has elapsed, maybe a day or more, or perhaps it resets after session expiry. I am not certain exactly what criteria causes the visibility to reset back to invisible. I would much prefer to remain visible in WME without having to repeatedly check and manually set myself back to visible each time I authenticate or access WME.Requested Solution:
Please adjust the default value or default…48 votes -
Enhanced Road Type Attributes for Improved Route Planning
I’d like to suggest an enhancement to the Waze road attribute system to improve route planning in regions with diverse road types. Currently, Waze allows drivers to identify paved and unpaved roads; however, many cities, including mine, have roads with unique surfaces, such as cobblestone or "stoned" roads, which can significantly impact vehicle mechanics and increase wear and tear.
Proposed Solution:
Additional Road Surface Options: Include new road attributes, such as "Stoned/Cobblestone" roads, alongside "Paved" and "Unpaved."
User-Selectable Avoidance Options: Allow drivers to choose to avoid certain road types like "Stoned" roads, which can affect vehicle stability and wear.

Emergency services
An exciting enhancement for the Waze Map Editor could be the addition of markers for emergency service stations and permanent buildings, categorized into two types:
Interactive markers (a single tap on any icon adds it to your route):
- Hospitals: Represented by a red and white "H".
- Police stations: Displayed as a house outline with a badge inside.
- Fire stations: Depicted as a house outline with a fire axe or fire truck inside.Passive icons:
- Schools: Highlighted with a zone area around them. When a route passes through, it triggers an alert similar to "Road hazard ahead".3 votes -
Improve/change the error message
Improve/change the error message when low level editors tries to delete the house number on streets with higher locks. Now we got "Error saving, try later" message. It gives, to editor, no idea of what the problem is, and the user may thinks that's a WME bug. By changing this message, it will give to editor and mentor/higher levels editor's more information to understand where the problem lies.
40 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.

Update gas prices where Waze venue is linked to GM place via external provider
Idea by reivaxX162.
Around the globe, Google Maps has already rolled out gas station prices. Many gas stations mapped in Waze are linked to GM via the external provider setting. Waze could automatically update the Waze gas prices where it is linked via the external provider. This would allow automatic price updates globally with little ease, and leverage the work GM has already done.

On WME could there be a way to show UR that we already replied to as a notification in the notifications area on WME.
So i would suggest receiving notification from existing UR from the WME notification tabs (top right) that we have already replied to once the reporter has acknowledged us editors' response to their report that would link us directly to that report, the current method so far is via email when waze actually notify us or in the app also the app notification only shows when the app is open.
This would eliminate us having to go into our email every minute as to locate that specific UR as there are usually over 10, 20 UR in one spot that number…

time based lane direction and lane available based on weather
Some lanes are not two ways in some hours of the day and a lot of foreign drive in the wrong direction at that hour.
Some lanes will be flooded due to heavy rain... etc

Opening hours, by appointment only
Looks useful to me to add the option 'By appointment only' to 'Opening hours' in WME. You still need to choose the days on which an appointment can be made. It is important that the telephone number is stated correctly in the data.
