level
There are some roads/ buildings that are not recorded on the map, but all the edits are limited by level, I feel hard to start being a new volunteer, and I feel disappointed the notice shows me I do not meet the required level after much editing.
Waze is killing my efforts and not welcoming any new volunteers, I decide not to give my hand to this map anymore.

New categories - apartment complex/building
Add a new category for "apartment complex" that'd include multi-building condos and coops. The "apartment building" category would be for single-building condo or co-op companies.

Photos in URs
Enable Wazers to add photo and video attachments to their URs from the phone or live map. Photos of intersections would enable editors to solve problems more quickly, especially in rural areas where street view is sparse.
Currently, some northeastern states let users send media via email, including the editor’s username in the subject line. This alternative would be easier for users and editors.
Ideally, if a user sends inappropriate media, then the editor can forward it to their RC in-app and have them review. Then, the RC could decide next steps.
Under this system, if a photo/video has illegal…

Personalizing dashboard option for frequently used notifications to improve posting time
Create the ability for users to select a handful (3 or 4) user-selected notifications of common notifications they post in Waze as the notice them on the road so they can access them directly from the Waze dashboard in the Waze app on Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
Also create the option for Waze users to update or change the notifications they want to show and have quick access to on the Waze dashboard.
This would improve the customer experience of using the app, improve the amount of notifications submitted by Waze users, and minimize the time lost by Waze…

Make lanes for highways so we know which lane we are supposed to be in
Update the map by making heavy detail in highways and making the map 3D. Like apple maps how they did it. Also, let us put how long construction on roads should last, or how long you would be in traffic for. I also would like you guys to add how to get inside water parks, like Soak City at Knotts berry farm in california. Thank you.

Issue tracker filter incorrectly showing drop down menu arrow direction
In the issue tracker filter settings, currently the drop down arrows in the map issues filter settings for UR, PUR, MP and map suggestions are showing an up arrow when collapsed and a down arrow when expanded.
However, in other best practice design scenarios, it should be the other way around. That is, when collapsed, show a down arrow so when you select it, the menu expands. Likewise when the menu is expanded, show an up arrow so when you select it, the menu collapses. This is done correctly in other dropdown menu options in WME

Making left side panel shorter with little tweak
I'd suggest to change "Edit house numbers" text to house icon and moving it before "Select entire street" text -> One row shorter side panel. Also, moving "View History" text next to road length field would shorten the panel by yet another row, there's plenty of space for it there. See https://ibb.co/b5gVSmb

timeline
I was accessing the app to see if there was a timeline history on my account as I was trying to see the routes I have been following to compare with other applications and see which ones provide the best routes.
Recently I experienced some long routes in waze that could have been avoided.1 vote -
Allow a specific path in a junction box to be Private/access only
If we have one-way access-only restrictions, it's impossible to map this if other routes are available.
Looking at the situation in the following graphic:
https://imgur.com/cJEtlk2There's no way to get to some of the streets without using the one road that's open to all traffic.
Having the ability to set a Private Road type to a particular route in a junction box will help resolve this situation.

Place Hours: Sunrise to Sunset
When adding Places, especially outdoor places (such as parks, playgrounds, beaches, etc), there are often posted hours saying the Place is open only sunrise to sunset, or conversely that the Place is closed sunset to sunrise. Unfortunately, the existing Place hours interface doesn't allow for these kinds of hours, only HH:mm times. As sunrise and sunset times change constantly, and in some places drastically due to orbital motion of the earth and time changes due to daylight savings times, it is impractical to estimate open/closing times using HH:mm formats.
It would be beneficial to both app users and map editors…
220 votesThanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

ability to write/entered info while reviewing images in UR
Hi
It is difficult when accepting user requests (if they contain a picture) and a name is not entered, for example.. to transfer the name from the shop board and to write at the same time.. because the way pictures are displayed in the map editor prevents you from writing if you only display any A picture, why can't we write in the side panel of the information and at the same time look at the pictures "the store's billboard" and transfer any information from it so that everything is added accurately?6 votes -

Add ability to mark Map Comments as critical with increased visibility
Please add a way to mark some Map Comment (MC) points as "critical" (as opposed to "informational"), with increased visibility. Instead of a small white dot, for example, you could display a slightly larger black-and-white or red-and-white bullseye. You could perhaps even add (gentle!) animation, such as gradual pulsing.
Why do I suggest this? Several times now, I have encountered oversights by editors who seemed to have missed important information in a nearby MC Point. These well-intentioned but uninformed edits degraded the driver experience until they were discovered and repaired. I've asked around and have come to three conclusions:
