  1. Map editers can notified on app

    As editers we only get notified when we log on the map editer. Would be good for us to be notified of changes or errors via the app.

  2. WME EVENT Page Upgrade Suggestion

    Hello. I would like to suggest an improvement to Events: it should be possible, directly within the Event Page, to manage the associated road closure(s) by enabling or disabling them. Additionally, it would be useful to define new schedules for each closure—specifically, if a closure is extended, the Event duration itself should automatically update to match, even if it’s just one or a small part of the multiple associated closures. Thank you.

  3. Ability to hide or move individually each native issue tracker filter

    Please provide the ability to hide or move down the list, individually, each WME provided Issue Tracker filter.

    WME has 4 supplied Issue Tracker filters
    All issues
    Starred
    Unread
    Actionable URs

    This request is for WME to have a Hide button next to each filter tracker so that we could hide it in the drop down list. Alternately, please provide us with the ability to move these filters down the list.

    For those of us who have created custom filters, we may want those filters at the top of the list (especially if we have many filters) so we want…

  4. Drawing Major Event Polygon should not select Hazards and cease drawing

    While drawing a major event polygon (specific area) should you click near a hazard the polygon drawing stops and you need to start from scratch. Polygons are complex and having to start from scratch is time consuming and frustrating. Drawing other polygons such as Place area or Map Note allows you to continue to draw a polygon.
    Hazards are increasing particularly with traffic lights and this issue frequently occurs. You shouldn't need to turn of map layers to simply draw an event polygon.

    Video here of showing behaviour when drawing a event polygon vs map note or area place.

  5. Alertas atrapalhando navegação ao deslocar rota para a direita

    Boa tarde!
    Não gostei da posição dos alertas no lado esquerdo superior da tela, fazendo com que a imagem do alerta desloque a rota para o lado direito e em um tamanho menor, dificultando visualização da rota. O mais importante em apps de navegação é a rota, e não os alertas. Os alertas são bons, ajudam, porém, deviam aparecer no lado direito, sem atrapalhar a imagem da rota. Gostaria de publicar imagens aqui, porém não encontrei campo. Me refiro ao Waze utilizado no Brasil. Grato, Roger

  7. Add shortcut to the panel

    In my opinion, it would be very useful to add shortcuts next to the possible actions in the panel, so that by seeing them often, editors could remember them better and use them more frequently.
    You can see an example here https://drive.google.com/file/d/1EDSybQCFW-2n-if12sFXVMXC6Zkef4UV/view?usp=drivesdk

  8. Road Closure Metrics

    It would be nice to be able to see how many people were successfully rerouted around a closure. We specifically use road closures for emergencies like crashes on major roadways, and it would be beneficial to be able to see how effective that is.

  9. Entrance to Valencia Walk at Riverland is on SW Sea Jewel not Marshall Parkway.

    The main entrance to Valencia Walk at Riverland is on SW Sea Jewel not Marshall Parkway. Only residents can enter on Marshall Parkway. When coming from the north, Waze is sending me past SW Sea Jewel to Marshall Parkway. This is more than a mile out of my way. Guest coming to my home in Valencia Walk can not enter off of Marshall Parkway. Please fix this .

  10. Clearer speed limit alerts for speed cameras and average speed zones

    I would like to suggest a feature that could significantly improve driving safety and usability in Waze.

    Currently, when approaching a speed camera, Waze alerts the driver about the camera, but the associated speed limit is not always clearly highlighted or immediately noticeable. It would be very helpful if the speed limit for that specific camera were displayed more prominently on the screen, making it easier for drivers to recognize it instantly.

    An even more important improvement could be made for average speed control zones (Tutor systems). At the moment, the voice alert only says “You are entering a speed-controlled…

  13. Move layer, refresh, and permalink icons when chat is open.

    When you have the chat panel open, the layer, refresh, and permalink icons are hidden. That means when working with an editor in chat, the panel has to be closed to grab a link. Then chat has to be opened again to share it.

  14. Suggestion: Expand “School Zones” into a Broader “Sensitive Areas” System

    Waze already has a great and effective feature: School Zones.

    Instead of creating new isolated features, I’d like to suggest expanding this existing model into a broader category called “Sensitive Areas.”

    The idea is to reuse the same zone logic (visual boundary + contextual alert) and apply it to other high-attention environments.

    Possible New Zone Types:

    • Hospital Areas

    Frequent ambulance traffic

    High pedestrian flow

    Need for increased driver awareness

    Example alert:

    “You are entering a hospital area.”

    • Flood-Prone Areas

    Roads with recurring flooding history

    Could trigger alerts during heavy rain

    Prevent vehicle damage and improve routing trust

    Example alert:

    “This…

  15. Issue Tracker support for .wkt "Specific area"

    The Issue Tracker allows for specifying a scan area with 3 options - Map area, Managed area or Specific area. Adding the ability to provide a .wkt (Well-Known Text) file containing a POLYGON to the Specific area section would be very useful.

  16. Add In Car notification for Map Issues Request

    With prevalence of In Car integration for Waze the large number of Map Issue being reported is done via Android Auto or Car Play.

    When editors or as of now automated ping requests additional information there is no notification to the User through the In Car integration that this has occurred the user will need to check email through which they can't reply or the app, which most in car users don't open.

    Can we have the notification for the user in car and what would be even more helpful is to give user ability to reply via voice to…

  18. Keep Google Map Links Import

    Matching Feed imports to Waze places should keep Google Maps links placed by editors. Currently, when matching feed runs, the Waze place is stripped of linked Google places. Alternatively, if the businesses are the clients of matching feed, Waze could make matching feed a bundled service covering Waze and Google Maps.

  19. Semi-Permanent Hazards

    Allow editors to add semi-permanent hazards such as lane blockages and construction, similarly to how we can add fully-permanent hazards like speed bumps and sharp curves.

  20. Sort traffic events alphabetically

    (This idea was originally raised by kndcajun at the 2026 NA Mega Meet-up.)

    When duplicating recurring traffic events, especially events that happen around the same areas and times every year, one needs to navigate page by page to find these traffic events. It would be helpful to have a feature where you could sort them alphabetically.

    For example, New Orleans area has over 30 parades each Mardi Gras season. Each one has to be managed carefully, including finding last year's to duplicate, then updating for the new year with any changes.

    Currently, scrolling down the list to find a specific…
