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

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

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.

Add 'Custom' or 'Other' category for Permanent Hazards to cover undefined road conditions
Expand the Permanent Hazard categories with a "Custom/Other" option to allow editors to flag segments or points with unique, life-saving warnings that don't fit existing labels—such as low-hanging branches, flood-prone causeways, or unexpected dead ends—ensuring the map stays accurate and safe for every type of vehicle and terrain. A short description (e.g. 3 words) can describe the Hazard

Avoid specific street or area
Add the option in the settings to avoid specific areas, the functionality already exist as you already have the features of avoiding toll roads, dangerous zones, and complex intersections, so just add the functionality to avoid custom areas, for example a specific street or city i dont want to pass through

Visual only Traffic Lights
Hi Waze Team and Community,
I’d like to suggest the implementation of a visual-only Permanent Hazard for traffic lights (eg. located at pedestrian crossings that are not part of an intersection or junction).
Currently, to map a traffic light, we often have to split segments to create a junction. However, on long roads with simple pedestrian crossings, "breaking" the segment can negatively impact routing data and unnecessarily complicate the map.
Having a specific "Traffic Light" hazard (similar to the "Red Light Camera" but without the enforcement/fine implication) would allow:
Better driver awareness of upcoming stops for pedestrians.
Cleaner map geometry,…7 votes -
Notify User when PUR approved
Waze should notify the user when an editor approves or disapproves a PUR. That way, the process doesn't feel as much like a "black box" for the user.

Rerouting optional
In the beginning of a ride, the app will let you chose between several routes. However, even if you purposely selected a certain route, it will automatically reroute you, if it found a "faster" route. Sometimes though, you do not want that because you chose a certain route on purpose. Unfortunately, other than in Google Maps (where you get a notification that a faster route was found that you can dismiss) there is no option in Waze to reject such rerouting. This can sometimes even lead to dangerous situations, like if you get rerouted through an unsafe neighborhood.

Car Play - Heads up Display Integration
Google maps and Apple maps has this feature.
With my car, I have a heads up display feature.
The direction arrows and lane arrows will show up on the heads up display.I'm not sure what tech this is actually linking into to do this, but I would love this feature.

Toggle to avoid turning right/left where there are no traffic lights.
The ability to toggle on or off to avoid turning left (In right hand drive countries) and right (In left hand drive countries) where there is no traffic lights present. Sometimes waiting at a giveaway to cross traffic can take a lot longer than driving a bit further and turning at a turn signal. Or for those who aren't comfortable. Also, could filter it to only lights with turning lights to be more specific.

Prevent segment node merging in certain cases
Just like when the speed limit or name differs between two segments we are trying to merge, merging segments by deleting a node should not be allowed if:
- the segment elevations are different
- the number of lanes is different
- segment alternate addresses are different (or one does not contain an alternate address and one does)
The goal is to prevent segment elevation or routing errors when cleaning up seemingly unnecessary junction nodes in an area.
I might be forgetting some cases, so please feel free to add any relevant ones in the comments!

Road Closure in the app while driving
To be able to quickly say road closed or junction closed while on route would be great, too often I am sent back to a closed part of the road if I go another way due to a divertion
