Emergency services
An exciting enhancement for the Waze Map Editor could be the addition of markers for emergency service stations and permanent buildings, categorized into two types:
Interactive markers (a single tap on any icon adds it to your route):
- Hospitals: Represented by a red and white "H".
- Police stations: Displayed as a house outline with a badge inside.
- Fire stations: Depicted as a house outline with a fire axe or fire truck inside.Passive icons:
- Schools: Highlighted with a zone area around them. When a route passes through, it triggers an alert similar to "Road hazard ahead".3 votes -
Ensure that permanent hazards and cameras are selected before they can be relocated
As shown in the above video, it's far too easy for a PH or camera to be moved accidentally when panning around the map. Hit a PH while panning, and it can be moved half way across the screen.
Please make it so they have to be selected before they're above to be relocated, just like other map elements.

On WME could there be a way to show UR that we already replied to as a notification in the notifications area on WME.
So i would suggest receiving notification from existing UR from the WME notification tabs (top right) that we have already replied to once the reporter has acknowledged us editors' response to their report that would link us directly to that report, the current method so far is via email when waze actually notify us or in the app also the app notification only shows when the app is open.
This would eliminate us having to go into our email every minute as to locate that specific UR as there are usually over 10, 20 UR in one spot that number…

по-големи улици
Предложението ми е, да се направи по-зуумната картата, така, че иконата на автомобила да се показва точно в платното за движение. А не както в момента да се носи над пътя! Това б било доста поориентиращо какато и по-красиво изглеждащо/

It would be helpful to access average speed and top speed data for past trips, with timestamps.

Link Google place to a residential place in Waze
Many addresses in the Google Maps are marked far away from real locations, and it badly affects user experience in Waze. Today we only can link such wrong addresses to public places in WME. It will be more reasonable to allow linking them to residential places.

Issue Tracker: better filtering of Map Suggestions
In the issue tracker, we can filter Map Suggestions by status: Open, Closed, or All, with a few subcategories under Closed. However, "Open" suggestions include (a) suggestions with status "Lapsed" and (b) suggestions that can't be accepted or rejected because "Change already applied to the map." Please add filters that would allow us to exclude (a) and/or (b) from the Open category.

Conduciendo con ruteo, poder cerrar calles laterales, o transversales a la ruta
Cuando conduces con ruteo, y cruzas una calle cerrada pero que no aparece como cerrada en la pantalla, solo puedes cerrar el segmento siguiente en tu ruta, para poder hacer ese cierre, debes "detener" tu ruteo, ahí empezar el proceso de cierre donde sí te aparece en la pantalla todas las posibilidades y hacer el cierre. Luego hay que volver a solicitar nuevamente ruta a nuestro destino. Si bien como está ahora facilita cerrar lo que tenemos delante de forma muy agil, acceder a esa posibilidad estaría interesante, ayudaría a mucha gente, no solo a los que usan Waze sin…

New icon
Hello, I think you should enable a new option in the weather section for dust and low visibility, in high humidity this happens when the air becomes full of dust and dust reduces the visibility. And the option for the police, the police who put the speed camera in the police car and every time it is placed somewhere, there should be a special icon for the moving speed camera. Currently there is only a police icon for the speed camera, it would be much better if it had its own icon

Multi-Select Option for Place Services
Current Functionality:
Services for a place are set with a yes/no checkbox. If a place has a service, editors check the box. Otherwise, the service's box is left unchecked.Proposed Functionality:
Services for a place are set with choice chips for Yes, Unknown, and No. Unknown is selected by default. If a place has a service, editors select Yes. If a place doesn't have a service, editors select No. If editors are unsure or otherwise don't check, the default Unknown is left selected.Reasoning:
The current system is somewhat ambiguous for editors. My own interpretation and expectation of the current…3 votes -
Adding a comment when requesting new aerial images
When L6 editors request up-to-date images for the WME, it would be useful if they could write a comment (for example, for whom they have requested the images) and this comment should also reappear when they get the notification that the new images have been provided.
It could also be helpful to have access to a list or map showing the areas that the new images were requested for so that new images are not requested for the same area by different editors.

An option to turn off camera alerts on daily routes
It would be useful for the app to have an option provided to users to turn off speed camera/ average speed zone alerts on daily routes where the user would already know the locations of.

Enhancing Waze with User-Contributed Neighborhood Names
As an avid user of Waze, I've experienced firsthand the convenience and efficiency this remarkable app offers. From navigating traffic congestion to discovering new routes, Waze has revolutionized the way we travel. However, there's always room for improvement, and I believe one feature that could significantly enhance the app is the ability for members to add neighborhood names to city maps.
Why This Feature Matters:
Local Insights: Who better to accurately name and define neighborhoods than the residents themselves? By allowing users to contribute neighborhood names, Waze can tap into local knowledge, ensuring that the app reflects the true identity…

Message from a user reporting the end of a closure, does not indicate the location
As a map editor, we can sometimes insert numerous closures in one day, due to construction or traffic events.
When a user reports that a closure is no longer active, I, as the editor who created it, receive a message in my application. However, this message only indicates the information that the user reported. Example: “This road is not closed”
This does not provide additional information, such as the name of the road or even the location’s PL. If I create a lot of closures, I can’t identify which location it is.4 votes -
Waze debería indicar la distancia a la localidad más próxima que esté sobre la ruta.
Waze debería indicar la distancia a la localidad más próxima que esté sobre la ruta, incluyendo su nombre. Actualmente, sólo indica la distancia a la próxima rotonda o bifurcación.

WME personal and Group Layer notices.
First if all the WME
To be able to add areas finished or areas of Interest or unfinished areas. To be shown only to yourself or to a group.Also to be able to see that area in the Waze APP.
So you can see areas that needs to be explored.I have notification layers for different addresses and streets confirmed, also areas that is boudneries to the ones i work in.
This is a mess to other users. But really good for me to keep track of things.

Unsaved edits - apply to map without saving
Related to this announcement:
if there were an option to simply “apply” the unsaved edits to the map, without saving them (basically treat the unsaved edits as a draft) that would be awesome. Sometimes the browser crashes or something gets in a weird state while doing a complex edit (common use case where this happens a lot is dividing roads for the falcon snapper) and I have to start over.
I think the times when I have a crash in a place where I'm actually ready to save my changes are much rarer than when I'm in the middle…
