POI statistics
Hello. It would be a great help and of interest to every community to have click statistics for POIs (points of interest). This would allow for greater attention and care when managing them, and even enable a specific lock level for a given POI based on its search popularity or click rate.

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,…6 votes -
Informacion Sobre semaforos.
Buenas,
Quería proponer una mejora relacionada con los semáforos que se pueda ver en la app de mobil que seria muy util, actualmente en Waze están como elemento visual en el mapa, pero no aportan información útil en la conducción.
Creo que sería muy interesante implementar información más “inteligente” sobre los semáforos, por ejemplo:
Aviso de semáforos con ciclos largos (los típicos que te hacen esperar bastante)
Indicación de si un semáforo va a cambiar pronto (especialmente útil en ciudad)
Posibilidad de mostrar un contador o estimación del tiempo restante en rojo/verde (si hay datos disponibles)
Aviso preventivo de semáforos…4 votes -
Use AI to see the live traffic levels in each turn lane/lanes going to different major roads
Use AI to see the live traffic levels in each lane based on user data and traffic movement. This could be a turn lane to turn left/right, or say if lanes 1&2 go to the M25 and 3&4 carry onto the A3. As the people who go to the M25 is queueing, AI could determine the estimated travel times by people who have already sat in the traffic queue by which direction they end up going.
This will give more accurate arrival times and better routes for the user.

Add new hazard type - "damaged mantinelli". This is frequently seen on roads in Bulgaria
Add new hazard type - "damaged mantinelli". This is frequently seen on roads in Bulgaria.
Those damaged road guardrails are huge risk as they are frequently left not fixed for several weeks or months.1 vote -
Add a flag to RTC to warn about the approaching final date
An editor should be able to "subscribe" to a specific RTC in order to receive a note message when the RTC is approaching its final date or is cancelled before the final date.

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.

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, Roger3 votes -
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…

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.

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…

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…

Show client app version in URs User Preferences field
Currently WME shows various useful information in URs, such as usernames (if available), report source, and various other User Preferences. Please also include app version from which the UR was generated.
This would be useful when troubleshooting certain reports, as some features may not be available to such users and also that some very old version of the app include 'Reported map issue' in the description field by default.
This, at the time of writing, also affects automated replies to URs, from Map Team account.
For e.g., see https://www.waze.com/discuss/t/introducing-automatic-replies-for-urs-without-description-enhanced-filtering/397655/122?u=darkestways thread.

Placing speed bumps from the app.
Hello, it would be interesting to have a way to add speed bumps to the map, mainly because in some places they are placed without permission and this subsequently causes accidents. One way to control this so that people do not abuse the system would be to require a certain number of users to confirm that the speed bump is in that location, so that the app then leaves it there permanently.

Carril Reversible en Guatemala
Permitir reportar carril reversible en Guatemala, las autoridades habilitan este tipo de carriles para agilizar el tráfico y sería una buena opción reportar dónde inician y dónde terminan para otros conductores, también estar alertas que durante cierto horario hay cambio de vías para evitar accidentes.
