  1. Detour routes

    We need the ability to add detour routes (paths) that can be added and removed in real time and/or scheduled to use in conjunction with closures. Often when local authorities announce closures, the also specify preferred detour routes.

  2. Combined Red Light & Speed Cameras

    The UK now has a growing number of red light cameras that also double-up as speed cameras. These should be able to be captured and displayed/warned as having both functions to drivers.

  5. Add a penalty to PR crossing an LS+ junction

    Suggest adding a penalty to all PR segments that junction with an LS+ segment for continuation. That is, do not continue on to another PR segment unless necessary.

    This would be helpful for alleyways in cities to force the user to an LS+ segment instead of continuing alleyway to alleyway.

    Also useful for local-access only situations were we want to force a user off the PR segments ASAP. I can't think of any situations where this would be an issue as if the destination is on a subsequent PR segment, that would rule.

  6. Change Forum Sharing Options object types posted in forum

    Currently when an editor uses the Forum Sharing Option to request an unlock, the request ALWAYS says "I would like to be able to edit the following segment(s)." no matter what type of object is selected.

    The request should be automatically based on type of object selected

    If segment(s) selected, no change
    If venue(s) selected, the request should say "I would like to be able to edit the following venue(s)."
    If they have any other type of object selected, the request should say "I would like to be able to edit the following [selected object type]."

  9. Allow marking issues unread from the Issue Tracker

    Currently, editors can "star" and "unstar" individual issues from the Issue Tracker panel, but there is no similar way to mark issues "read" or "unread". Once an issue is "read," you need to open it and then mark it unread from the issue's interface. Suggestion: add a button next to the star to allow toggling each issue's read/unread status.

  10. "Check and try again"

    Save error suggestions should provide useful, actionable info to the editor to help them know what to do to solve the problem.

    "Check and try again" isn't helpful. Check what?

  11. Extra click required for approving a PUR

    When approving/rejecting a PUR (new place, new photo, change in details), an extra click is now needed to close the window. Simply clicking approve/reject would close the window, but now you also have to click done to close the window. This wasn't the case until WME v2.109 (released August 2022)

  12. add ''HIGHWAY FIRST" to preference

    When there are several routes available, I've noticed that Waze may calculate a route that combines both ground roads and highways. This is done to save a little time or reduce toll fees but can result in entering the highway from a distant entrance or exiting the highway too early. This approach leads to more instances of entering and exiting, as well as increased interactions with other drivers, which is unnecessary and more dangerous.

    I suggest implementing a "HIGHWAY FIRST" preference. When a highway is available, the system should calculate a route that prioritizes the use of highways, even if…

  13. Directly Navigate To Trauma Center Facility

    I wanted to offer a suggestion that could potentially save lives and improve the efficiency of emergency medical care navigation in Georgia.

    Currently, Waze provides invaluable assistance in navigating through traffic and finding nearby emergency departments in times of need. However, it's important to note that not all emergency departments are equipped to handle trauma cases. In Georgia, as in many other regions, there are designated trauma centers that offer specialized care for severe injuries.

    My suggestion is to enhance Waze's functionality by incorporating information about trauma centers alongside regular emergency departments when users search for medical assistance. By doing…

  14. Oval roundabouts

    Hi,

    Is it possible to draw a roundabout not only in the horizontal or vertical oval direction, but in all directions?

    If you have a roundabout that runs from northeast to southwest oval, you can currently only mark it like this by hand.

  17. Loosing costumers

    Hi !
    "This idea was created based on the response received by contacting customer service. Therefore, the idea directly addresses what is said in the conversation. The topic deals with users of the country of Azerbaijan. And since there are approximately 5 editors for the country in question, it is obvious that this issue will not attract much attention. Because I haven't seen any of them make any suggestions or post on any topic here yet."

    • ... And yes, I have one more issue to talk to you about. So, is there another way for me to become a moderator…

  18. Déviations pour les créateurs local

    pouvez-vous rajouter une fonctionnalité pour les créateurs locaux, un signalement avec le fléchage de la déviation.
    Faire la déviation obligatoire lors de travaux.
    Cela me permettra de mettre en place la déviation qui ne fera pas perdre de temps aux utilisateurs qui s'engouffre dans les travaux et qu'ils sont bloqués.
    Merci par avance.

  19. Change Forum Sharing Option autofill

    When an editor uses the forum sharing options, new editors are consistently adding the wrong lock level to their request.

    For example, the current Unlock Request automatically fills in the following information:
    Hi Editors,

    I would like to be able to edit the following segment(s).
    Your help would be greatly appreciated.

    Permalink: https://waze.com/en-US/editor?env=usa&lat=29.63406&lon=-104.27920&zoom=5&segments=516527406
    Reason:
    Unlock to level:

    Thank you in advance,
    The "reason" and "unlock to level" kind of blend in.

    My suggestions would be to automatically fill in the current lock level of the selected objects and the rank of the editor making the request for the "unlock to…

  20. Speed Limit Pinned on Segments

    I'm wondering if speed limit pins can be placed on the segment exactly where it shows on the map using street view as a guide. This will make it easier to find speed limits when responding to speed limit UR. I'm thinking of this as more of a visual aid for editing. I would also like a toggle on and off option that can be added on the right map layer panel.
