Add “Speed bump” as a map error report option
Add “Speed bump” as a map error report option
It would be useful to allow users to report speed bumps as a map error instead of only as a general hazard.
Currently, speed bumps are often missing or inconsistently mapped, and reporting them through broad categories reduces accuracy and slows down data correction.
Proposed feature:
- Add “Speed bump missing” or “Incorrect speed bump” under Map error reports
- Allow users to pin the exact location on the map
- Optional details (type, size, visibility)
Benefits:
- more precise map data
- faster correction of missing road features
- improved routing accuracy and driver awareness

Flag Waze segments for addition to Google Maps
If an editor adds roads to Waze and sees they aren't in Google Maps, we have to add them using the Google Maps interface. This does not include access to additional imagery which can make it easier to make the updates.
With the increased data exchange between Waze and Google, it makes sense to have a button to flag sections of the Waze map for incorporation of high priority changes rather than having to map the area twice.
51 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.

Do not automatically re-add a deleted GeoClosure RTC
Once a GeoClosure RTC is deleted, it should not be automatically re-added to the map.
1) It interferes with adding the actual RTC, where it will be automatically re-added during the process of adding the actual RTC which most of the time involve the painstaking process of selecting many segments, only to get hit with a "overlapping time" error.
2) Occasional issue of an inaccurate RTC reported, and is being removed by an editor with on-the-ground knowledge. Only L5 and SM+ are able to add RTCs in Malaysia, surely these editors are more trustworthy on the ground than users who…

Highway shields instead of plain numbers in Livemap and WME
In the Waze Map Editor and in Livemap, highways are currently identified only by “badges” that display the route numbers, without their alphabetical prefixes.
It would be very helpful to update these highway badges in both WME and Livemap to use the highway shield standard that already exists in the app.
This change would not only improve clarity, but also promote visual consistency of highway shields across all Waze platforms.

Ability to report and re-route around Flock and other traffic monitoring devices
Given the increase in all kinds of monitoring devices(mobile and fixed) - both end users and map editors need a way to add them all and have the ability to voluntarily route around them as much as possible, even if this is not the fastest or most efficient route (it should be an option).

Add warning for common speed trap area
Similar to the warning given in areas where there is a density of car crashes, the app should provide a warning when users enter an area where there is a historical high density of speed traps reported regardless of whether there is an active police warning or not.

חניה באזור היעד
נושא: הצעת ייעול – התראה והכוונת חניה חכמה לפני ההגעה ליעד
תיאור הבעיה
כיום, בעת ניווט ליעד, הנהג מגיע לעיתים קרובות עד לנקודת היעד המדויקת ורק אז מתחיל לחפש חניה (חניון או חניה ברחוב / כחול-לבן). כתוצאה מכך, הנהג חולף על פני מקומות חניה פנויים בדרך, ונאלץ לבצע סיבובים נוספים באזור כדי לחזור אחורה, דבר שגורם לעומס בכביש, לבזבז זמן ולתסכול.
הפתרון המוצע
להוסיף אפשרות מובנית במסלול הניווט שמזהה הגעה לקרבת היעד ( למשל כ-300–500 מטר לפני היעד הסופי) ומציעה לנהג באופן יזום
1. הכוונת חניה מוקדמת: הצגת חניונים מומלצים או אזורי חניה מועדפים הקרובים ביותר ליעד, עוד לפני שעוברים…1 vote -
List (and filters) for Crisis Shelters in Side Panel
Since we have been able to create and push [crisis] shelter pins on our own, managing them has proven to be a challenge.
What I would like to see is a sub category for "Shelters" in say the Events side panel for where we can have filters (like within other WME side panels) that would allow us to show/filter through what's open, what's closed and be able to click through to that location to turn it off/on
We now have a good list of past shelter centres, which are often the same during the next emergency, so having this filterable…

What do you think of creating icons for speeding cars?
There should be like four icons showing their directions such as North, South, East and West. This can inform all Waze users of speeding and reckless drivers that can endanger other drivers.

New camera type: Illegal turn
The number of camera type have been increased lately which is good, but I miss an 'Illegal turn' camera type. Since we have red light cameras and stop sign cameras we also need an illegal turn one. These monitor wheter you make and illegal turn or in a multi-lane intersection you violate your lane's instructions (turn right from a straight only lane etc.)
I think these, just like the red light camers and bus lanes cameras are international.7 votes -
Add start/end for average speed zones in WME and take them into account in the app
We need two new PH camera types for average speed zone start and end detection or a similar approach, which would allow the editors to map the start and end of average speed sections on top of the existing flag for the segments. The cameras would serve the following functions:
Indicate the start of a zone or a section in the zone - to be used for the alerts in the app instead of the segment flag. This would improve the accuracy and the experience for drivers who join the zone/section in the middle, including in residential areas where the…

Don't detour off tolled highway and back on to save a minute
This morning waze thought it could save us a minute by directing us to exit the tolled highway. Take some back streets and then put us back on the same tolled highway. It didn't save us time but did cost us twice the amount for the trip.
Waze should not detour off and on tolled roads for insignificant time saving.

Live Municipality Display & "Now Entering" Border Alerts
Add a small, dynamic UI element (at the top or bottom of the map) that constantly displays the name of the current city or municipality the driver is in.
How it works:
When a driver crosses a municipal border, the app triggers a subtle chime and a brief notification: "Welcome to [City Name]".Why it’s a game-changer:
Driver Awareness: Prevents drivers from accidentally wandering into unintended or unfamiliar cities.
Situational Context: It’s simply helpful and engaging to always know exactly whose municipal jurisdiction you are driving through.
Safety & Enforcement: Highly beneficial for law enforcement, emergency services, and reporting incidents,…

Poderia colocar um Pop-up igual a do google Maps. Isso é muito útil
Poderia colocar uma opção para deixar em pop-up ou janela flutuante para quando saimos do waze ele continua aberto no canto da tela pequeno. Tipo como é no google maps. Se podesse eu colocava um print aqui como exemplo.
