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.5 votes -
Controlli di Polizia
Oltre che segnalare gli autovelox fissi o temporanei, avere la possibilità di segnalare i posti di blocco di controlli delle pattuglie di Polizia/Carabinieri.

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.

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…

Road shields, ability to add different sign as override to the major one used for that street name
In Finland, we currently have named roads as "180 - Saaristotie" etc. and would like to get rid of the number in street name and just leave the shield. But that is not possible because we have quite a few locations where road number changes while road name stays the same. Another problem is when road category changes to minor road so that the number drops off completely.
So there is a need for feature where you could set an override shield to selected segments while the default sign for that road name stays active on other segments.

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.
65 votesGreat timing! We’re currently working on the option to invert the filter. Keep an eye out for updates on the WME.

MyRadar weather integration
Partnering with a quality weather app like MyRadar would be very helpful for not only motorcyclists but for choosing routes on longer trips.

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.

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…

Show HN stop points for all levels
When viewing a road that is locked to a higher level, it is not possible to view the HN stop points. This makes it impossible to troubleshoot the issue without requesting an unlock that might not be required if nothing needs to be edited. Being able to view the stop point even when I can't edit would let me know if the HN needs to be changed before I request an unlock.

Signposts and crossings
The possibility of adding signage points and pedestrian and cycle crossings, as on open street map.
Signage is often unclear, especially horizontal signs during road resurfacing work. It would be helpful if the navigator warned of pedestrian crossings and signals such as giving way and stop signs.1 vote -
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).

Ability to select metric for distance tool and imperial for speed limits
This request is specific to the editor environment.
As I am in the UK, I must have speed limits in mph, so have no choice but to select Imperial in my settings.
However, this then causes the distance tool "Ruler" to measure in feet, however I want to measure in metres as that is what all the legal documents (Traffic Regulation Orders) show the new highway changes in.
At the moment, I am having to resort to google to translate the metres to feet value in order to use the Ruler, and would prefer it if Waze would show the…

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…
