When adding a restriction is not possible to add a passed date even it is a reccuring limit
if the restriction is valid from 1 Aug to 31 Aug and recurring every year I can't enter it after 1 Aug. This should be possible.

The possibility of making edits similar to Google Maps editor
I suggest the possibility of making edits as is done in Google Maps editor. There, anyone can edit freely and these edits are subject to technical evaluation before being approved. Here we can improve and, for example, put that these edits are evaluated by editors of a higher level than the one who submitted the edit.
The reason for this suggestion is due to the probable problem that more places, besides my city, may end up facing: currently I am a level 2 novice editor, and I live in a small town in the state of São Paulo, but this…

Support more kind of private roads.
Several categories of private roads exist.
The common is that transit should not be allowed within them.
But after that different categories exists :Some are open but only visitors allowed
Some other are physically closed with or without the ability to open them.
It would be useful to be able to map those categories so Waze would warn the driver before driving about the condition of the destination, and eventually change destination if it is not reachable.1 vote -

Copy and Paste Turn Instructions from one turn to another
Please allow us to Copy into the clipboard (or similar function) all Turn Instructions from one turn, and Paste them into another turn.
Quite often, I'm having to replicate the same instructions for different turns at the same junction for those coming from different directions, but turning into the same road. It would be a big timesaver if we could copy TIs into other turns without having to repeat the same steps.

Allow Editors to Set Functional Status of EV Charging Stations
When mapping EVCS, I've noticed that there are comment sections on charging stations like PlugShare that allow users to share their experience using the stations, specifically if it's working or not. Would like to propose that apart from the comments, we can add in a functionality for editors to set the status of these charging stations based on user reports or own knowledge. As a result, users can see clearly the status of each charging station even before they navigate to the charging station, saving frustration when the station is unserviceable. Users should also be given the option to either…

Put the House number field before the Street field
In some countries, House number needs to be before Street. Maybe this can be customisable by country? If not, I believe it's more logical to have House number first (smaller to larger).
133 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.

Transparent point places while moving
Now that point places are much larger in WME, it would be helpful to make them transparent when dragging them across the map, so they can be easier aligned with features on satellite image.

Pagar peaje por solo unos 200 metros de autorpista?
Todos los días me dirijo a mi casa por una calle a un costado de una autopista que tiene peaje, y cada día WAZE me recomienda pasar por la autopista que tiene un pórtico de peaje. El problema es que solo tendría que recorrer unos 200 metros de autopista y luego salir de inmediato.
¿Es posible que exista un criterio de definición de ruta evaluando no solo el tiempo de ruta, sino que además evalúe el pago a realizar en el los peajes según la distancia que uno recorre dentro de la autopista? Pôr ejemplo, que elija la autopista si…

Arrival time for calendar events
When adding events from my calendar, Waze assumes I want to arrive at the event start time. This is mostly not true; I usually want to arrive 10-15 minutes early, to give me time to park up (and in the case of shifts at work, make a drink before I get started!)
I would like an option in the app settings to always arrive X minutes before event start time (with a drop-down menu allowing me to choose from eg 5, 10, 15 minutes).
Alternatively, when confirming the address for a calendar event, an option offering "arrive before event start…

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.

WME - Default Category List.
Hi.
Please, allow us to change the default - WME Category choices in the drop-down menu to our own preference. As for example we do not use any of the "parent" categories, so it would be great if we could choose what we want making it easier for us to create places.
Thanks!

Waze - Version Release (Number).
Hi.
It would be a nice touch to add the - Waze Version Release, under (Waze Map Editor), so users can see what version they are running and if any bugs are needed to be reported, they can using that version as a reference?
Thanks!

The type of way (preferred / unfavorable / neutral) now it does not appear anymore
The type of via appeared and now it does not appear anymore, even if the editor did not have access to edit this information it appeared on the screen, me and some friends here liked this information because it helped new users to better understand why they did not have access to edition. Because only levels 4 above appear. Could you go back?

Parking along with the Parking area code and Charging info would be helpful
Showing the nearest Parking close to destination is Cool, would be good to also see the Parking area code and if that has Charging points (wherever applicable) -
I am in Stockholm, I usually have to struggle understanding the parking code, for which I can check the charges before I travel.
With Electric cars becoming more popular, it would be great to have the Parking code combined with a Mark highlighting if cars can be charged.
Example Stockholm P - which allows free charging or Mer or Incharge which are paid. This info will be really helpful.
That way can…5 votes -

Add Globe View from Google Maps to the Waze Map Editor.
There is a vast difference between having Globe View toggled on and off. If it was added, it would allow new edits to be made with the ever changing infrastructure of the world. I've noticed myself that I was unable to make some changes due to outdated satellite imagery through the map editor, however I am able to see changes much more clearly with it toggled through Google Maps directly.
Since Waze is now owned by Google, would this be a hard thing to port over to the map editor?

School zones variable speed limit
Most of our speed zones in province of Quebec are variable in time of day, day of week and month of year. Do you think you could add this feature so it represents the actual speed limit in real time.
In a regular 50km/h residential zone, the school zone is normally active from 7 to 17, monday to friday, september to july.22 votes
