Sync contribution points form all google services
I think waze app, waze map editor and google should merge all points and recalculate accounts levels. For example im contributing actively in waze driving app some time and in google maps pretty good time. And now when i started to edit in waze edit map, i cant even update/add speed bump in my city because of lack of levels/points... I mean, i understand that new users should get to know the platform, but we are not new, its not logically to me this.

Show when a driven editable area will expire
When you gain an editing area by driving, WME never tells you when it will be taken away. The only way to know is to remember the date of every trip you made, which is not realistic. In practice editors discover the loss after the fact, sometimes in the middle of handling a UR that can then no longer be closed.
The information already exists on Waze's side: those areas are derived from dated drives, and WME already shows that drive history to the editor in "My drives". What is missing is simply surfacing the resulting date.
What would help,…

Do not automatically re-add a deleted GeoClosure RTC
Once a GeoClosure RTC is deleted, it should not be automatically re-added to the map.
1) It interferes with adding the actual RTC, where it will be automatically re-added during the process of adding the actual RTC which most of the time involve the painstaking process of selecting many segments, only to get hit with a "overlapping time" error.
2) Occasional issue of an inaccurate RTC reported, and is being removed by an editor with on-the-ground knowledge. Only L5 and SM+ are able to add RTCs in Malaysia, surely these editors are more trustworthy on the ground than users who…

Allow longer Event Name character count
25 characters is simply not enough for most events. Abbreviations are not possible. Examples: "Merdeka Eve Celebration 2026", translated into Malay, "Sambutan Ambang Merdeka 2026", and some official marathon names I've come across, and ending up not adding these to the event calendar at all for these events.
Suggest to allow at least 50 characters, I believe that would be more than enough.

Ability to report and re-route around Flock and other traffic monitoring devices
Given the increase in all kinds of monitoring devices(mobile and fixed) - both end users and map editors need a way to add them all and have the ability to voluntarily route around them as much as possible, even if this is not the fastest or most efficient route (it should be an option).

Add warning for common speed trap area
Similar to the warning given in areas where there is a density of car crashes, the app should provide a warning when users enter an area where there is a historical high density of speed traps reported regardless of whether there is an active police warning or not.

חניה באזור היעד
נושא: הצעת ייעול – התראה והכוונת חניה חכמה לפני ההגעה ליעד
תיאור הבעיה
כיום, בעת ניווט ליעד, הנהג מגיע לעיתים קרובות עד לנקודת היעד המדויקת ורק אז מתחיל לחפש חניה (חניון או חניה ברחוב / כחול-לבן). כתוצאה מכך, הנהג חולף על פני מקומות חניה פנויים בדרך, ונאלץ לבצע סיבובים נוספים באזור כדי לחזור אחורה, דבר שגורם לעומס בכביש, לבזבז זמן ולתסכול.
הפתרון המוצע
להוסיף אפשרות מובנית במסלול הניווט שמזהה הגעה לקרבת היעד ( למשל כ-300–500 מטר לפני היעד הסופי) ומציעה לנהג באופן יזום

List (and filters) for Crisis Shelters in Side Panel
Since we have been able to create and push [crisis] shelter pins on our own, managing them has proven to be a challenge.
What I would like to see is a sub category for "Shelters" in say the Events side panel for where we can have filters (like within other WME side panels) that would allow us to show/filter through what's open, what's closed and be able to click through to that location to turn it off/on
We now have a good list of past shelter centres, which are often the same during the next emergency, so having this filterable…

Display real-time average speed inside average speed camera zones (section controls)
Description:Currently, Waze alerts drivers when entering an average speed check zone and displays the speed limit. However, it does not show the driver's actual average speed since the beginning of the controlled section.
Proposed Solution:When inside an average speed camera zone, Waze should display a dynamic indicator showing the user's current average speed for that specific section.
Benefits:
-Enhanced Safety: Prevents sudden braking and promotes a smoother driving flow.
-Peace of Mind: Helps drivers maintain the legal limit without doing mental math.
-Competitive Edge: Aligns Waze with features already available on other navigation apps.1 vote -
What do you think of creating icons for speeding cars?
There should be like four icons showing their directions such as North, South, East and West. This can inform all Waze users of speeding and reckless drivers that can endanger other drivers.

Add the option for wrong speed on the map issue button.
A lot for UR are made for a wrong speed limit. It would me useful if the driver could report a wrong speed limit with the proper button, under the "Map Issue" button in the report section. This addition could reduce significantly the time between the report and the map update, because a lot of time the map issue are send but not actively followed by the reporter, the editor remains with no clue about what the UR is about.

Feature Request: Mobile-Friendly Interface
Hi Waze Team,
I am writing to suggest developing a mobile-optimized interface or a dedicated companion mode for the Waze Map Editor (WME).
Currently, making quick map edits or adding house numbers while on the go requires a desktop setup, as the desktop editor is very difficult to navigate on mobile browsers—even with "Desktop Site" enabled.
A mobile-friendly editing mode would greatly benefit the editor community for several reasons:
Real-Time On-Site Verification: Editors could easily fix house numbers, street names, or missing turn restrictions while standing directly in front of the location, ensuring maximum accuracy.
Higher Community Engagement: Allowing editors…6 votes -

Don't detour off tolled highway and back on to save a minute
This morning waze thought it could save us a minute by directing us to exit the tolled highway. Take some back streets and then put us back on the same tolled highway. It didn't save us time but did cost us twice the amount for the trip.
Waze should not detour off and on tolled roads for insignificant time saving.

Live Municipality Display & "Now Entering" Border Alerts
Add a small, dynamic UI element (at the top or bottom of the map) that constantly displays the name of the current city or municipality the driver is in.
How it works:
When a driver crosses a municipal border, the app triggers a subtle chime and a brief notification: "Welcome to [City Name]".Why it’s a game-changer:
Driver Awareness: Prevents drivers from accidentally wandering into unintended or unfamiliar cities.
Situational Context: It’s simply helpful and engaging to always know exactly whose municipal jurisdiction you are driving through.
Safety & Enforcement: Highly beneficial for law enforcement, emergency services, and reporting incidents,…
