Detour routes
We need the ability to add detour routes (paths) that can be added and removed in real time and/or scheduled to use in conjunction with closures. Often when local authorities announce closures, the also specify preferred detour routes.

Easier to switch between Brief and Sound On instructions
I like the Brief Instructions when I'm in familiar territory. I like full instructions when going somewhere new or unfamiliar.
It would be great if I could easily switch between the two. Could we add "Brief" alongside "Sound Off" "Alerts Only" and "Sound on" instead of going through the settings menu?1 vote -
Routines
I go to work every weekday around 8:00, and come home around 5:00. WAZE seems to know this, as it pops up on my screen so I can easily select it.
There are several routes to take between my home and work. Often, I drive the same route. Occasionally, there is an accident, construction, etc... so another route is better. So I always like to check WAZE.
WAZE knows that I'm going to work, and I generally know how I'm getting there. So, automatically provide minimal directions. If traffic is bad on my usual route, switch to full directions. When…1 vote -
A better separation between different road types in the layers panel
When working on complex junctions, tunnels, train tracks, and pedestrians, and when all of them are in the same area, the map becomes a real mess and is hard to work with. I suggest adding additional layers to toggle off the visibility of road types and a layer to hide tunnels (or change their transparency at least and make them unselectable and disable snapping).
Take a look at this picture, and you'll immediately understand the issue.

[QOL] Have Closure End Date Auto Update to Not Be Earlier Than Start Date
When setting a closure for the next day, for example, I have to update the start and end date even though the end date should update automatically to prevent an error in the data.
Is it not possible to set an event to run after the Start field losses focus to update the End date field to update to match the Start date field if the end date is before the Start date?

Country Manager
The Country Manager should be a local editor as we know the changes to the road, we are driving in the country, not a foreigner using satellite images to edit the map.
Some accidents are caused by drivers heavily depending on waze at night as they know its updated but now its not .

Event edit mode in WME
During Event Mode you only can select segments and you will not be able to edit them. Only RTCs are possible.
You also can select one previous entered event (MTE) --> this MTE will be preselected for RTCs during event mode. Also the name of the RTC will be the same the whole time.
Benefits: You only have to selects the segments, enter date & time and therefore save a lot of time. You also won't be able accidentally to move segments, nodes or POIs.
Also GPS, my area, POI, issue ans script layer will be deselected automatically (as an…47 votesThanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

Offline Maps
For me can be useful to have possibility to download offline area maps. Can be made when you're planning to go in another country without mobile data coverage or when you've issue on mobile data.

Suggest "Warehouse" and/or "Loading Dock" categories for Places in WME
Lots of warehouses in my area, lots of truck drivers are dropping Places that would meet this criteria. They usually select the Parking Lot category, and i generally end up changing them to Factory/Industrial.

Temporary driving directions (roadworks/ rerouting)
Temporary driving directions visible directly on the live map such as closures and that temporarily override the set driving direction in WME. This would be useful for one-way streets where there is a temporary reversal of driving direction due to roadwork or rerouting.

A maioria das cidade do Brasil tem diversos QUEBRA-MOLAS que não são padronizados, muito menos sinalizados. Sugiro notificação para eles
A maioria das cidades do Brasil tem diversos QUEBRA-MOLAS que não são padronizados, muito menos sinalizados. Levando uma infinidade de transtornos aos condutores, seja danificando o veiculo, seja causando até um possível acidente, caso o veiculo venha em velocidade e ao passar por esse mesmo quebra-molas venha perder o controle causando assim um acidente, que pode ser leve ou fatal

Enable zoom keyboard shortcuts (Shift + up/down) when Streetview is open
Zoom keyboard shortcuts (Shift + up/down) are not working when Streetview is open. Please bring them back :)
They were intentionally disabled apparently - see forum post for more info: https://www.waze.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=2362272

When adding a restriction is not possible to add a passed date even it is a reccuring limit
if the restriction is valid from 1 Aug to 31 Aug and recurring every year I can't enter it after 1 Aug. This should be possible.

Remove Search Disable At Zoom Levels Less Than 12
It's annoying with the recent implementation of disabling the search bar at zoom levels less than 12 (1 - 11). In places where I'm trying to find a particular location because a city name is repeatedly multiple times in the state I end up having to zoom out to see major roads and match the map up with the DOT reports for mapping closures. Once the zoom level is less than 12 the search feature is disabled so I have to zoom back in just so I can search for the next item on the list.

Use Paths or Restricted Areas to create drive through restriction
Amount of residential areas where drive through is forbidden is increasing everywhere. I was wondering could either Paths or Restricted areas have an extra setting "Not allowed to drive through" and by setting it router would prohibit such routes. Paths would work on smaller areas but in bigger ones would have to be set with Restricted area.

Average speed calculation in average speed zone
The idea is that once you enter a speed enforcement zone there will be an aditional box that displays the average speed driven inside the enforcement. This allows you to gauge how much you can speed up after stopping or going slow for awhile.
