Draw Bridge Traffic Controls
My suggestion is Draw Bridge Traffic Control as a Perm Hazzard in WME
Awareness need for Draw Bridge control ahead that could engage their Traffic Light or Swing Arms to stop traffic.
The icon should be different for a Draw Bridge than the usual Traffic Light icon.In more words:
We have RRC and now rolling out Traffic Lights. RRC can be plain, can have Traffic Lights, and can have Swing Arms. Draw Bridge controls pose the same problem. But in this case, they usually have both Traffic Lights and Swing Arms or some other blocks.No difference than a…

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.

Ability to add RTCs to new segments
It would be useful to be able to add RTCs to newly added segments. Without the segment(s) included in the current tile build, the closure wouldn't be "real time" but would allow for applying the closure immediately after the tile build finishes. A disclaimer could be (should be) displayed that the closure will not go live in the app until the tile build finishes. This could allow us to more efficiently construct roads ahead of their opening so that the RTC is in place for real time opening. It could also allow for cutting segments for upcoming construction (bridges, culverts)…

Allow me to specify a route
You only suggested 93N and 95N from southeastern Massachusetts to southern Maine when I wanted to go 495N which was actually faster than 95N. I'd like to specify a route without having to add an arbitrary stop

Profile statistics
Waze WME continues to evolve in terms of features, but the editor profile hasn’t changed at all over time. That’s a real shame. We no longer have access to detailed statistics. I’m suggesting we update the profile page to something more up-to-date. And add the other statistics.
-> https://www.waze.com/discuss/t/update-to-the-statistics-profile-page/406450
I’m attaching an image to illustrate the idea; if other editors have different ideas, feel free to share them!

Add new layer with Road Signs (generated from Street View)
Use AI models to identify Road Signs from existing Street View images, and surface them in WME as a new layer.
Road sign examples:
- Speed limits
- Stop/Give way
- No entry
- Prohibited turns
- Sharp bends
- Lanes mergingIdeally this new layer should come with sub-layers and allow editors to show/hide on demand (similar to how Hazards currently appear in WME). Sub-layers could be groups - for example:
- Warnings
- Speed limits
- Orders
- Instructions42 votes -
Filter GPS tracks by vehicle type: private, taxi, motorcycle
The GPS layer should have checkmarks where we could choose the vehicle type of the GPS tracks we want to see.
This would be great for determining what type of vehicle is using a particular road, which in turn would be useful for deciding what road restrictions a road should have.85 votes -
Set user level using points
I've been an active user on waze for over 10 years reporting items like police cams and intermittent construction. In order to make any edits to the map requires level 3 which currently requires 5000 edits. Add an additional way to achieve higher levels based on user points. For example I have 239,582 points and it doesn't seem they are really useful for anything.

Pontos de recarga de carros elétricos
O waze poderia mostrar pontos de recarga elétrica veicular em seus mapas, cada vez mais aumenta o numero de pontos de recarga e a venda de veículos híbridos e elétricos, e nesse ponto indicaria qtd de pontos e a potência do carregador, dando a opção de colocar o preço do KW.

Request: Add adjustable handle size as a standard WME feature
Hi Waze team,
The handles for roads and Places in WME are currently very small, which makes them difficult to grab accurately.
Beginners often struggle with precise editing, and even detail‑oriented editors would benefit from being able to adjust the handle size to match their workflow.I would like to request that WME include the following as a standard feature:
Larger default handle sizes, or
A setting that allows users to adjust handle size
Adding this feature would improve usability for all editors and reduce frustration, especially for new contributors.
Thank you for considering this enhancement.6 votes -
when reporting errors on the map, there is no option to correct speed limits that are incorrectly shown by waze
If you notice a wrong speed limit indicated by Waze, there is no easy option on the app to report or even correct the speed limit even if you are seeing it as a perm change and not a temporary decrease speed limit

Add a feature so drivers can avoid width restrictions
Would be good to add a feature to avoid roads with 7 foot or 6.6 foot width restrictions

Proposal: Improve Access to Event Announcement Pages from the Live Map
Hello Waze Team,
Currently, the Waze Live Map does not provide a link button to event announcement pages. In addition, event detail pages do not include a button to return to the Live Map or the event list.
As a result, when users share an event detail link on social media and others try to check additional road closures afterward, they have no way to navigate back, which causes the experience to break down.
To improve usability and navigation, I would like to request the following enhancements:
Add a link button to event announcement pages on the Live Map

Show Where Community Schedules Are Used
In the Community Schedules section of the Waze Map Editor, please make the "Used In" count clickable or provide a way to show a list of school zones using a specific schedule. Currently, it only shows a number, not the actual locations. Recently, I was trying to find a school zone with an incorrect schedule so I could remove it and then delete the Community Schedule, but I couldn’t locate it even after searching an entire province and four major cities.

Notify on severe delay on regular route
Sometimes we drive the same route home every day and dont notice water routing specifically to avoid a major traffic jam. Would be helpful to receive specific notice that we are going a different route for a very good reason

Please consider adding a "Prefer fewer speed bumps" route option. It would improve passenger comfort and reduce vehicle wear, especially for professional drivers.
