Custom layers for map editor.
It could be helpful in map editing, if users could add their own layers. Just for their own use, for example shape or wms.
Users may have access to local map layers that they can use to add landmarks or edit roads. At the moment I can only rely on blurry bing aerial map, gps tracks and memory.14 votesThanks for your feedback.

Auf der www.waze.com/de sind jede Menge Rechtschreib- und Satzzeichenfehler, was ziemlich unprofessionell daherkommt. Ich bin Korrektor und würde gerne helfen. Wie?

Control the map editor clique
The map editors in my area seemed to have formed a clique of "insiders" who do not permit others to try map editing. Everything is locked down to "level 2" or "level 3" and above, so anyone who is new to map editing is unable to do ANYTHING. The one time I made a change, I was questioned and given some snippy attitude about it. Then, the map editors undid my change, and locked that section to a higher level. I think there should be some kind of oversight for calling out zealous map editors. Just because they started earlier…

Remove Two-Way Segments
Two-way segments are very rarely necessary and are very often overused by map editors to oversimplify maps. Even the smallest "two-way roads" have at least one lane dedicated to each of the two directions. Having each segment representing a single roadway will permit maps and navigation that are more intuitive to the users of the app, and perhaps help avoid the tendency of editors to try to combine separate roadways into one segment.

Color-coded according to speed in editor
A feature that had been good when you are editing speed limits would be to go into a "Edit mode for the speed limit" just as the house number.
That all roads would be color-coded according to speed. and roads with no speed would be gray, so you can easily see which roads have the limitation and which have not.Another thing that would be great is that you can put limits whereever on the road and not just at a crossing. Again, just as the house number.

Make it possible in editor to mark where the main lobby is for businesses
It would be awesome if we could have the ability to mark where the front/main lobby is for business, such as hotels and hospitals. As a delivery driver, I have a hard time for finding entrances to business in strip malls as well, so being able to mark them would not only help delivery drivers, but everyone else as well.

Map Editor - More edit room than driving area
Allow editors to have more room to edit than just the area they recently drove. This would allow editors to help each other out better than they currently are. For example I'm a L1 and I've had multiple people help me and they couldn't help edit anything b/c they haven't been to my area which caused confusion when they tried to explain what they see and how to fix it. I've also wanted to help in other areas that I can't drive to on a normal basis and can't because I haven't been there recently. Removing editing restrictions on area…

More options for the business hours for shops or places (WME)
In the WME, I guess we can modify the option available to define the business hours.
In France and I guess in other countries, some shops or places are closed for lunch. We should be able to define the duration of the break between morning and afternoon.
in the same way, some shops or places don't have the same business hours for each day, so we should be able to define the business hours hours day by day.
Last point is that depending on the seasonality shops or places ( for exemple on the west coast in france) don't have…4 votesGreat thinking! We’ll share with the team; they’re always interested in new feature ideas.

Make speedtraps work like House Numbers on WME
Speedtraps are hard to edit correctly on WME.
They don't snap properly, and a lot of times, they don't give a warning (when you're above the speed) because they're not snapped correctly.
Make them work like house numbers: with a direct link to the road.
Also, we could have the option to mark a speedtrap as "both ways" to reduce clutter on the navigation screen and speed up the work of Editors.3 votes -
Improve satelite image
In "Valera, Venezuela" the satelite image of Google is a real mess. I really loved the former images from the waze map. Do something google because your satelite image is not helping me to edit the roads in my city

Let's hide roads built in a small number of satellites
Do, please, so that if waze sees at least three satellites, it does not display those tracks in the map editor. It often happens that you forget to disconnect waze and go in the building. Satellite reception quality decreases. And in the editor there is a lot of chaotic tracks around the building. This prevents debris find tracks of roads that were built when waze seen enough satellites for precise positioning.

Drive to Feature on Cartouche
While editing the map I would like a separate layer so that I can make notes and pin it to areas of the map that I would like to visit. These online notes should only be viewable by the user who made the notes. It would also be necessesary to navigate to these Points of Interest and have the notes pop up so that pictures can be taken of the surrounding so that the Waze map can reflect real world situations out there on the road.
The Waze notes layer (home computer) and the Android phone should be synced so…

Autodetect road types
Road classification seems to be a large source of disagreement and unecessary effort between map editors, part because we know it is used for routing.
The classification should be autodetected based on average speeds and not editable by users, like average speed.
