User defined low speed input for better accuracy in journey time.
Not all vehicles can travel at the posted speed limit. Some are limited by type or load. It would be cool if Waze could accommodate this and give an accurate ETA based on the planned speed of the vehicle, rather than the posted limit. For example, the maximum legal speed limit for any vehicle towing a trailer is 80 km/h on all roads in Ireland. Similar restrictions apply to HGV's. A reduced speed field at the start of a route plan would be great for all those drivers.

Hazard addition to go to suggest an edit
Let all editors add Permanent Hazards but since it is locked by level they can be moved to "Suggest an edit" so spamming with permanent hazards or fake hazards are not added to the map.

New Satellite Imagery available for L1
By making various satellite imagery layers available to L1 editors, we can eliminate the need for them or other editors to re-analyze areas and significantly boost their productivity.

Improved Notifications in WME
I suggest adding in WME notifications to improve tracking of URs and map notes:
- Followed URs: Receive notifications directly in WME (not only on the mobile app) when there are updates or new replies.
- Followed map notes: Receive notifications inside WME (not only by email) when new comments are added to notes I am following.
These improvements would make it easier to stay updated, respond faster, and enhance community collaboration without relying only on email or the mobile app.

Counter for Chargers at a Charging Station
Please add a counter to charging station tab Chargers. Once you need to scroll (~7+ charging points), it's difficult to assess how many chargers there are. Example: this Tesla Supercharger: https://waze.com/nl/editor?env=row&lat=52.16064&lon=4.54912&zoomLevel=20&venues=2949642.29824096.27841780
Just something like this would suffice: https://i.postimg.cc/90z5LZ8z/afbeelding.png

Camera Type: Yellow Box
There is locally to me a traffic enforcement camera that ensures a yellow box outside a fire station near a busy junction is kept clear. There is not currently a camera type that is applicable and can be added.

WME Notes List
Should add a tab in the left side panel with a list of all our Notes and those we have answered so we can quickly find them again on the map.

Suggest an Edit: Endpoint and junction nodes
New editors can add new roads, suggest changes to segment attributes, and add new geometry nodes for existing roads. But this isn't very useful without being able to:
- Suggest connecting a new or existing segment to an existing segment (making a new junction node)
- Suggest moving or otherwise editing an existing endpoint node
It would be great for Suggest an Edit to fully support editing road geometry, connecting segments, and editing junctions.

Support "alternate one ways" as permanent hazards
Allow mapping permanent "alternate one ways" as permanent hazards.
Alternate one ways are two-way roads that are not wide enough for two vehicles to transit in opposite directions at the same time.
In Europe, they are the road section within a square blue sign with two arrows (this side has the right of way) and a white circle with 2 arrows with a red border (this way must give way if someone is already transiting from the other direction).

Adding a comment when requesting new aerial images
When L6 editors request up-to-date images for the WME, it would be useful if they could write a comment (for example, for whom they have requested the images) and this comment should also reappear when they get the notification that the new images have been provided.
It could also be helpful to have access to a list or map showing the areas that the new images were requested for so that new images are not requested for the same area by different editors.

Full Multi-Stop Route Planning
I’d like to request a true multi-stop route feature like Google Maps has, where you can add and reorder several stops in a single trip. This would make it much easier to plan errands or road trips without having to set each leg separately.

add time zone change
Exit 340 on I-40 West is US-11W (Bristol Hwy) near Knoxville, Tennessee is where the time zone sign is posted but it does not show up on waze. It would be nice to see that since watching the clock on the phone while you drive is difficult.

Low clearance road
Good morning, everyone!
I would like to suggest adding a “low-clearance road” warning or avoidance option in Waze. Some roads are not suitable for sports cars or vehicles with low ground clearance, and ending up on one can cause drivers to get stuck, leading to backups or unnecessary delays for others who follow the same route.
It would be very helpful if Waze offered an option - when starting a drive - to avoid low-clearance roads, similar to avoiding dirt roads or tolls. This would improve routing accuracy, prevent traffic issues, and help protect vehicles that are more sensitive to…1 vote -
Sub selection of points under one POI umbrella. Like a mall with multiple entrance points
If i choose to go to a mall, it takes me to main entrance. But a user might wish to go to a specific gate of the mall, In this case, once a user selects mother POI, a popup of gates appears for user to choose

Update links in WME footer - "Get help" and "Editing forum"
In the footer of WME are two links: "Get help" and "Editing forum", which are out of date.
Get help - Redirects to Waze Discuss home page instead of Wazeopedia content on Waze Discuss
Editing forum - The link works currently, but it uses the old phpbb forum link instead of Waze Discuss. Update from http://www.waze.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=8 to https://www.waze.com/discuss/c/editors/waze-map-editors-topics/4930
Low priority fix, I only post this to make my OCD happy.

Batch Input Road Closures
We have several large construction projects that will span several months, with mostly repeating road closures (Ex: Monday-Friday, 7AM-3PM). The only way I'm aware of to add these is by each individual day, then repeating next day, which gets tiring. There should be an option to bulk upload a closure, selecting the days of the week (Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Etc.) and the time it applies. There would also need to be an option to remove a closure on a specific day (Ex: Holidays).

WME - Requests window blocking city/country - shift it couple pixels down?
Hello,
Check out screenshot:
https://i.imgur.com/zrA1Hly.pngEach time you are dealing with user reports or any kind of reports it's blocking city name.
When you close to report, you need to search for it again and again on the main list.Would be good that we can see city name while working on reports.

Sugestões para otimizar o processo de edição de segmentos no WME
Gostaria de compartilhar algumas sugestões para melhoria do Waze Map Editor (WME), baseadas na experiência diária como editor ativo. Acredito que essas ideias podem ajudar a tornar o processo de edição mais ágil, eficiente e menos repetitivo, beneficiando toda a comunidade.
Seleção múltipla com o mouse: Permitir que o editor selecione vários segmentos de uma só vez arrastando o cursor (como uma caixa de seleção). Isso tornaria mais fácil aplicar alterações em massa.
Pré-configuração de segmentos: Criar uma funcionalidade onde o editor possa definir previamente as configurações (tipo de via, sentido, velocidade, regras de trânsito) antes de iniciar a criação…7 votes -

Please I'm new to this community but I would appreciate if we have a user guide or a short demo of key features of this Map Editor for new members or joiners1 vote -
3000 edits are too much for level 2, don't let us edit some locations if we were there.
My idea is to reduce the edits to advance in level and let the members of this community edit the locations that were not using Waze and were without using it
