  1. TIPO DE VIA "MUNICIPAL"

    Seria interessante criar via "MUNICIPAL" visto que tem estradas de dominio federal e estadual, mas não tem as vias municipais que são pavimentadas, estas não podem ser consideradas "ruas" visto que são de alta velociade e ligam zonas rurais e pequenas vilas, e não são estaduais pois estão *** responsabilidade do municipio bem como a manutenção e construção.

  2. External Providers Search Displays Too Little Information

    The + Add linked Google place functionality on venues is incredibly difficult to use. When you search, the Waze-prioritized white space leaves almost no room for the search results to actually contain usable data. As it is now, I often have to guess as to which place it might be and often have to repeat the process making editing places very inefficient. Please expand the information displayed here so that this functionality is actually useful to finding and linking Google places. The whole name of a place should appear along with a complete address.

    Thank you for submitting this suggestion!


    At the moment, when you hover over a place, it shows its complete address. Is this something that solves the original issue you mentioned?


    If not, we would love to hear from you on how it can be improved.


    Thank you!

  3. Disable double click zoom

    An option to disable this feature, or disable it completely. I've never used the double click to zoom in into something. That's the wheel for, or even the buttons on the side of the editor.
    Many times when the WME becomes unresponsive or laggy it is common that while selecting something the selection is not captured, so one tries again to select what ever it was trying to select, however instead of selecting a magic zoom in comes into play.

  4. Add residual kilometers for italian "safety tutor" speedtrap on Android Auto

    Hello! In Italy we have highways with "safety tutor", a speedtrap system which calculate average travel time. In Waze phone mode there's a small banner that indicates the remaining kilometers to exit the area, this feature is not available in Android Auto. Whyyy?? It's so useful :)

    Thanks, love you guys!

  5. Map Suggestions need hotkey

    Map Suggestions are a layer in WME. If you want to see under the suggestion, you have to disable the layer. The only way to do that is via the Layer menu. There is no option for setting a hotkey.

  6. Adding a Fire Maltese Cross for fire activity on the roadways. IE. Car Fires, Brush Fire etc.

    As a career firefighter with major highways surrounding our jurisdiction. with the usual bad direction we get, we often open and rely on Waze if and when we get called for a car accident. however, we can use a feature for car fires, car accidents, and brush fires along the highways. etc.

  7. Bicycle Paths

    Hi there Waze team, community,
    In the view of raising pollution from vehicles and health concerns due to sedentary lifestyle, I think it would be a great idea for Waze to it's bit by marking out biking (bicycle) lanes just like it is so easy to drive around with waze in a car.
    This will help people to get around quickly, safely and conveniently. Today in most part of the developed and developing world, bicycles are not given or considered a priority. And in some places it's half hearted efforts for example some central & western European countries where you…

  8. Waze editors should have a method to solicit information from Waze users who navigate via a specific road or POI

    It would be helpful to be able to request information from users who drive on specific road, or drive to/drive past a specific POI. The Waze app users should be prompted for specific information such as :-

    Road 1) Whats the name of this road?
    2) Is this road paved? What is the quality of the road?
    3) Possibility to submit a photo of the road?

    POI 1) Submit a photo for this POI
    2) Submit facilities available at this POI
    3) Submit hours of operation etc for this POI
    4) Submit a telephone number for this POI

    its much…

  9. Traffic Control Devices

    Enable editors to add traffic control devices to intersections like stop signs and traffic lights. This could help drivers navigate when there are few signs/lights.

    It’d also be helpful since many drivers make “landmarks” along the way. They’ll know to look for the stop sign in 1000 ft, not just to make a right in 1000 ft.

    I don’t think it makes sense to let phone users make these additions, though they can communicate through URs.

  10. Setting to see only issues reported or commented by me

    Please add a (easy to find) setting to see only the issues that I have reported or commented on.

    When I select the "Filter" function "Filter map issues", in the section "Update Requests (URs)", under "My actions", I select only "Reported by me", I expect that the results show ONLY issues that have been... reported by me.

  12. Calgary back alleys

    Many houses in Calgary have garages located in the alleys; it would be nice to include back alleys in Waze. I had to revert to using Google Maps for this reason because Waze could only route to my front door instead of my garage, which is located at the back of the house.

  13. Being able to add construction just like road closures

    When you make a closure through the app or through WME , you are able to select one whole segment / multiple segments to apply the road closure on.

    My Idea is that reporting construction would work just like reporting/making a closure, or probably giving the user the option to just place a warning or to select a whole road segment to add the construction to

    And like european maps (from germany and nearby) , the whole segment should be covered in orange and white strips... Just like road closures but orange instead of red!

  17. Incorporate Place Interface Enhancements Script RPP Editing Options

    The Place Interface Enhancements ("PIE") Script provided an easy way to add RPP's by offering to auto-populate the 'street name' field with values from the nearest street. Optionally, one could have it ignore the checking for the street name from nearby PLRs and PRs:

    (Options):
    - Use street name from closest segment
    - Use city name from closest segment
    - When the primary is "No city" look for an alt city
    - Ignore PLRs & unnamed PR when using closest segment's name and city

    The script stopped working after an update to WME earlier this year. It would be an…

  18. [QOL] Have Closure End Date Auto Update to Not Be Earlier Than Start Date

    When setting a closure for the next day, for example, I have to update the start and end date even though the end date should update automatically to prevent an error in the data.

    Is it not possible to set an event to run after the Start field losses focus to update the End date field to update to match the Start date field if the end date is before the Start date?

  19. Country Manager

    The Country Manager should be a local editor as we know the changes to the road, we are driving in the country, not a foreigner using satellite images to edit the map.

    Some accidents are caused by drivers heavily depending on waze at night as they know its updated but now its not .
