Editor drop pin on app
It would be great if Editors could have a "pin" button on the app drive screen. Sometimes when driving I come across a map error or some feature not existing on the map that would be good to add (like new speedbumps, changes in speed limits etc).
At the moment Editors would either have to wait for someone else to report the change, or they need to log a General map error, which takes a few screens to complete on the app. This is quite a dangerous situation as your eyes will not be on the road but trying to…

URs: Simple reply form to provide more detail
As most editors will attest to, the rate of receiving follow-up details from users who submit URs is still very low. When we follow up and ask for further details, I'm sure many users click on the 'View Report' button in the e-mail intending to reply, but are then put off by the fact that they have to go through a clumsy process of logging in to a WME interface they probably haven't used before (which is not optimised for mobile phones, and if they haven't previously logged in to WME they have to go through two layers of security…

schedulerEnable Use of Community Schedule for Road Restrictions in WME
Currently, in the Waze Map Editor (WME), road restrictions (TBR) must be managed manually. I’d like to propose integrating the ability to use community-created schedule — already available for school zones — to automatically apply restrictions based on dates, times, or days of the week.
This improvement would:
Reduce manual workload for editors
Increase restriction accuracy (e.g., roads closed only on Saturdays, during recurring events, or excluding public holidays)

Pin reports to report - not submit
Sometimes it can take a while to report (especially map issues which usually require comments), and by the time I hit "submit" I'm already a considerable distance away, which can sometimes make it impossible to figure out what the issue was. So I think the report should be shown at the place where the Wazer starts reporting instead of where they finished submitting the report.

Actual scale option for map viewing
One improvement I think would be worth implementing in Waze is offering a true-to-scale map view option, in addition to the current zoom feature.
In some situations, especially when driving within cities, I find that the map is zoomed out too far, making it difficult to see the details of roads, intersections, and nearby access points. This can make navigation less intuitive, especially in areas with many streets close together.
My suggestion would be to allow users to choose between the current view, with adjustable zoom, and a true-to-scale mode, which would maintain a more accurate representation of distances and…

Suggestion for improvement: Voice notification when entering a city
Hi, everyone!
Recently, while traveling, I found myself missing a feature that I think could be very useful in Waze: a voice notification when entering a city.
The idea is that, when crossing a city boundary while navigating, Waze would announce something like: “Welcome to [city name]!”
This would be especially useful on highway trips, since many cities don’t have visible or well-placed identification signs, making it hard to know exactly when we’re entering or passing through a city.
In addition to making the trip more informative, this feature would help drivers better orient themselves along the route without having…

Make editors able to place down Pothole hazards in WME
As of right now, you can only add a road hazard in the map, then a bypasser doesn’t see the pothole and mark it as “Not there” which removes it.
There should be a feature in WME that lets us editors add potholes which we know exist there, more permanent ones.

Camera distance report
Please add an option in the settings that allows users to select the notification distance for police and speed camera alerts. Ideally, this would let us choose a specific number of kilometers (or miles) before the reported location where the warning should appear — for example, 1 km, 2 km, 5 km, etc. This would function as an "early warning" system that the user can customize based on their preferences and driving conditions.
Why this would be useful:
It gives drivers more time to adjust their speed safely.
It allows users to tailor alerts to their driving environment (highway vs.…

Car/Vehicle On Inside or Outside Shoulder
I’ve had situations where I can’t see over the vehicle in front of me, and after seeing the car on shoulder hazard, assuming they are off to the right side shoulder, boom someone on the inside appears and it’s scary sometimes.

There is an intersection that doesn't need to be a point of reference. How do I provide more details?
There is an interscetion that shows up as a point of reference that doesn't need to be- it's the enterance to a mall. The main issue I have with this is that it's really close to a freeway entrance and the next turn directions don't always show up so it creates a last minute "what lane do I need to be in" situation. I woudl love to be able to update this on the map

Frontière

Safety Concern: Missing Stop Sign Display in Waze
Although stop signs exist at certain locations, they are not displayed in Waze.
This lack of support may cause drivers—especially those unfamiliar with the area—to overlook stop points, creating safety concerns.
If Waze Map Editors could directly add stop signs within the editor interface, such issues could be resolved more efficiently.
For improved safety and map accuracy, please consider adding a feature that allows editors to place stop signs directly.5 votes -
Flock cameras notifier
We need flock camera notifier on the Waze app. Flock camera has been everywhere and can we add a feature to notify where they are and a feature to select the route to the destination avoiding all or most of the flock camera.

Issue Tracker support for .wkt "Specific area"
The Issue Tracker allows for specifying a scan area with 3 options - Map area, Managed area or Specific area. Adding the ability to provide a .wkt (Well-Known Text) file containing a POLYGON to the Specific area section would be very useful.

None as default for street and city in new segments
Submitted on behalf of the IL community: Why isn't a default value of "no street", "no city" entered in the address field of a new segment? New editors don't always fill out the address field and it remains "no address", creating a need to contact them and explain to them how to choose "no" for the street name.
