ability to amend speed limits
I'd be interested to find out how I can advise of a change in speed limit please. Our village (Newington, Sittingbourne, Kent) has recently introduced a 20mph limit across the village, but it's still showing on the app as 30mph.

Add the ford option
Waze should add another option for ford, along with the existing ones: "Unpaved", "Tunnel", etc.
In the Waze Map Editor, the editor could choose this option for the entire length of the road that passes through a body of water.

Sub-cities
The goal is to have a mechanism for attaching localities or hamlets to a city.
The French wiki presents a number of situations (https://wazeopedia.waze.com/wiki/France/Routes_Nommage).
There is also the management of districts or neighborhoods of large cities that could also benefit from this feature.101 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.

WME Form autocomplete=off
Disable the autocomplete in the forms in WME. Frequently while adding street information, Chrome attempts to offer up personal saved addresses for street names, etc. This covers over WME's street name suggestions and buttons. A simple fix would be using HTML autocomplete=off for form fields or the whole form would stop this from happening.

speed limit user poll
The idea is very simple but could improve the editors SLUR extremly.
In the moment we have poll´s for Police controll, Accident, Danger and so on.
Why not having a Posibility to do an limited (e.g.48hours) Poll for a Speed Limit like "is 120km/h the correct Limitation" (Yes, No)
and display the Poll Result in WME which would easyly allow to check if a submitted Speedlimit is correct.3 votes -
Notification alert in WME when GPS Traces appears over no segments
In Waze Map Editor, receive alert when some GPS traces appears over map with no segments.
Helps to Editors to review or create new segment in map.13 votes -
Directly edit water layer
The water layer should be editable.
The water layer import is outdated and frequently lakes and ponds are drawn where roads and houses now exist.
We can add hacks to WME to suppress the display of these water features in the Waze app but this is not ideal.
125 votesHi all,
Unfortunately this isn't possible at the moment. Many thanks for the suggestion, and we'll update if and when the status changes for this.
Best,

Blocking edits when has unread PM
Editors would not be able to edit in WME while they have unread PMs. The idea is to get new editors to contact you to receive instructions about wrong edits. Now we send PMs and they ignore and continue to make wrong edits which forces us to block him via CAR to force him to contact the community

Allow 3 choices for PURs that report closed places. 1) Ignore; 2) edit place 3) delete place
Currently we can only ignore a PUR that reports a place closed or delete the closed place. We have no other choices available. Often, we need to make changes in operating hours or make other changes but NOT delete the place. If we ignore the PUR, it counts against the reporter. We need a third choice that gives the reporter credit for the report but allows us to keep the place and make appropriate changes to it.

Speed cam edits should initiate tile update
Currently, speed limit edits depend on nearby map edits to be included in the tile update process. This seems to be an old limitation.
It should be possible to add or edit speed cams without requiring additional edits.

WME road closure history information
In WME, editors are able to see road segment information and current road closures. At the moment, after road closures end, there is no visibility of what the road closure was in relation to and how long it was set for. This makes it a bit difficult when editors receive URs from road users and are unsure what the issue is related to.
It would be handy to see historical road closure information on that segment (if it be within the last 30 days or for the life of the segment).

Highlight Lane Guidance Icons on hover
Currently in Lane Guidance there are the icons up the top showing the composition. It would be great if when hovering over an item it would fade out the icons that wouldn't be shown and highlight the ones that would. You're already highlighting the path on hover so it could be associated in that! I think this would be especially helpful for FL2

Bring back the zoom bar
With all of the new zoom levels I'm respectfully begging for the return of the zoom bar in order to know what zoom level you are at. Since many map objects only display below a certain zoom level, in vanilla WME, you must guess whether you'll be able to see what you need. Also, the zoom bar allowed for single click zooming, rather than using the scroll wheel or multiple clicks.

Add support for Passing Lane Alerts
Add functionality when on main single lane roads so the User can opt to display the distance to the next passing lane. The location and length of passing lanes would be added by editors and would give drivers an indication of how long until the next passing lane (and once in the lane, how long until it ends), potentially preventing drivers from taking unsafe risks and passing when not safe.
Passing lanes are used extensively in New Zealand and Australia, and I imagine are also used around the world.

Reorder custom turn instruction elements
When editing custom turn instructions, if an element (shield or free text) should be inserted before existing elements, then the existing elements must be deleted. There is no way to create new elements in front of existing elements.
Please add the ability to reorder elements. This way we could create new elements and then move them to the front if needed. This would save many clicks and retyping.

Editar valores dos combustíveis nos postos pelo WME (Editor)
Seria interessante, se tivéssemos condições de atualizar os valores de combustíveis nos postos diretamente pelo WME (Editor de Mapas de Waze), pois, eu passo nos locais e nem sempre consigo editar na hora por conta do transito, contudo, acredito que os valores poderiam ficar mais atualizados deste forma. Além de quê, eu trabalho com rede de posto e boa parte deles, ficam com o mesmo valor.

"Hide street name" option
Include a checkbox near the street name for segments, so that when it is selected the name of the street does not appear on the live or client map. This would be useful for segments that have a name that would benefit directions, but could be confusing to see on the map. For example, seeing the name "Main St Frontage Road" on the app, especially when zoomed out enough that the name appears right over "Main St", could easily cause confusion and take longer for the driver to comprehend the map, especially if they are familiar with the area.

Let editors tell app users why Places or Place updates were rejected
Editors must sometimes reject Places and Place updates submitted from the app. But WME provides no means to communicate WHY. This is discouraging for both editors and submitters.
WME should allow editors to select from a list of the most common reasons for rejecting Places or Place Updates in order to inform app users how to improve their Place suggestions. An example list:
- Photos must provide clear exterior orientation for drivers
- Descriptions must meet Waze community guidelines
- Could not verify deletion, renaming, or other significant change
- Non-residential Places must be meaningful to the general public
- Gas prices cannot be moderated,…
