Add Permanent Hazard for Causeways (Fords / Dangerous Dips)
I would like to request the addition of a permanent hazard type in the Waze Map Editor for Causeways (Fords / Dangerous Dips).
In many developing countries, mountainous regions, and jungle areas (such as in Nepal), national highways and rural roads frequently cross seasonal rivers or streams via causeways rather than bridges. These sections of the road are prone to sudden water accumulation, standard flooding, and severe dips that can damage vehicles or pose a significant safety risk to drivers who are unfamiliar with the terrain.
Currently, local traffic authorities recognize these as permanent, high-risk road features. For example, Nepal…

On the display on Hyundai android auto (2025 Tucson) the hazard notification button would better put on the lower left of the screen as opposed to the right. it would be less distracting.

Bumpstops missing
Here in Mexico we have a lot of speed bumps ("topes") that are poorly marked by the authorities — often unpainted and with no warning sign.
It would be really helpful to have a dedicated icon to report the position of a speed bump missing, so drivers get an alert in advance, can brake in time, and avoid damaging their vehicle.

Better fitted screen icons when reporting road issues using Android Auto.
Hello Waze experts!
My suggestion is to resize the icons that appear when reporting an issue.
When I need to report a pothole or an object on the road, for example, some icons fall outside the visible area of the screen. This makes reporting harder and takes my attention off the road for longer than it should.
My proposal is to use smaller icons so that all options fit on a single screen.

Commute Breakdown: Highlights total distance driven, average speed, and time spent in heavy traffic vs. clear roads.
Community Impact: Shows how many reports submitted (e.g., potholes, police, hazards) and how many fellow drivers were helped.

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.

referring hazards such as potholes, raise these for map editors to transfer to local authorities escalation portal
when reporting in the uk hazards such as potholes, raise these for map editors to transfer to local authorities escalation portal. most county councils have online portals that could have the information shared ( gps; number of sightings; frequency of travel ) with co-ordinates ( maybe even what3words ) to formally report.

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!

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.

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
