  1. 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…

  2. 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…

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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!

  9. Close places temporary just as you can with roads

    As roads can be closed between certain dates it will be great that we can also get this for places. For example when a place is going to close for temporary construction.

  10. 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…

  11. [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?

  12. 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 .

  15. medidas de vehículos

    Estaría bien poder introducir las medias del vehículo dado que hay muchas personas con autocaravanas que se están metiendo por calles muy estrechas e incluso con balcones o puentes por los cuales no pueden pasar, así, de este modo el GPS calcula ruta y omite esas calles o zonas en las cuales no debería acceder vehículos de dichas dimensiones, altura, anchura, largo o incluso toneladas.

  16. The Ability to add truck restricted routes so drivers do not get tickets.

    As a truck driver, there are routes that are restricted to NO truck traffic. I have received tickets because I was not aware. Late at night it would nice to know if route is restricted because sometimes you cannot see posted signs until it is too late. It is too difficult to safely turn a big truck around past that point...

  17. Image next and back option while viewing uploaded photos.

    Requesting the feature to include image next and back button as seen here (https://youtu.be/mmKyAL7MPEs) while viewing the images from the place update request popup box (https://youtu.be/mmKyAL7MPEs)

    Hope this video explains what I am referring to.

  18. Time-based restrictions with annual repetition.

    We should be able to place traffic restrictions on a segment, for example in the summer (June 1st to September 30th).

    As the 1 has already passed, we can only place it from today (June 22) and we can only correct it to be correct for the next year after September.

    In this case, it should be possible to insert the total (correct) date of the restriction.

  19. Temporary driving directions (roadworks/ rerouting)

    Temporary driving directions visible directly on the live map such as closures and that temporarily override the set driving direction in WME. This would be useful for one-way streets where there is a temporary reversal of driving direction due to roadwork or rerouting.
