  1. Add Driving Restriction option to enable Toll flag for specific date / time / vehicle settings

    Driving Restrictions currently has Allowed, Toll Free, Prohibited
    But we also need an option to explicitly set Toll Enabled

    We have a road that operates as a Toll road for all vehicles 6-9am but then changes to not a Toll road (also for all vehicles) from 9:01am to 5:59am the following day.

    We can't use the Toll Free option as there isn't a subset of vehicles that are not charged a Toll during this time period.

    Also setting a Toll Free period 9:01 to 5:59 has no impact as the driving restriction is only checked during the hours its active…

  2. Bring back pave roads

    Bring back the "Pave Road" function in the phone app.

    If this makes a lot of duplicate roads, even them out, or make it easy to remove the wrong ones/ keep the good one..

    Also bring back the "Pacman-style road verification" that was here 10 years ago.

  3. Commercial vehicle restricted Roads

    Rotherhithe tunnel in London is restricted. Commercial vehicles are not allowed to use it, but Waze always routes you through. People are getting hefty fines when they follow the guidance from Waze and if there are road closures on a usual river crossing, it always sends you through here.

    I'm sure there are many commercial vehicle restricted roads that Waze routes you through, especially in London.

    Please, PLEASE! look into having a commercial vehicle option. You've got motorbikes, private, EVs and taxis. How about you look after the ones that drive as part of their job.

    I hope this gets…

  5. Inclusão de Semáforos, sem ou radar de velocidade.

    I propose the implementation of marking all traffic lights, even those without speed radar, in the Waze app’s mapping system. This feature aims to enhance the navigation experience, provide greater driver safety, and enable more accurate and efficient routes.

    Including traffic lights on the Waze map would allow:

    1. Greater Accuracy in Route Time Calculation: By accounting for waiting times at traffic lights, Waze’s algorithm could offer more precise route estimates, preventing unexpected delays for users.

    2. Suggestion of Faster and Safer Routes: With the location of traffic lights known, Waze could suggest alternative routes, avoiding intersections that require longer waiting times…

  6. Indiquer les voies bloquées dans l'onglet "Fermetures" de WME

    Bonjour,

    Serait-il possible d’ajouter une option dans l'onglet "Fermetures" de Waze Map Editor pour indiquer précisément quelle voie est bloquée ? Cela permettrait d’utiliser les flèches de l'onglet "Voies et largeur" pour spécifier les fermetures plus en détail.

    Merci !

  7. Speed limit visibility

    When you pass the speed limit, for example riding a motorcycle, it becomes very difficult to read the actual speed.The speed indicator should be bigger, and when you traspass it, it shold have more contrast. I simply can´t see it on my phone. Maybe, as an option, the user could set the size and color of theese thins on screen. Thanksss

  9. Delayed Caused by Trains

    It would be nice to know when a train is stuck on the railways or there is a delay caused by trains. I sometimes end up in the longest traffic jam. Just to realize the train isn't over a certain section of road further down the other intersections. If it could suggest an alternate route or tell us "Rail road traffic jam reported up ahead"

  10. Add a gradient border to Editing Areas based on age.

    For lower rank editors and those that tend to travel, it would be helpful to add a 1-3 pixel gradient border, likely at a 50% transparency level around each editing area based on the age of the area. I propose the gradient go from green to red for expiring edit areas and 50% grey for any LAM/AM areas for differentiation.

    I know that it would be beneficial for me to have that visual representation as I patrol the EA in WME that I gain each Northern Hemisphere summer that I drive around the USA.

  12. Enhanced Road Type Attributes for Improved Route Planning

    I’d like to suggest an enhancement to the Waze road attribute system to improve route planning in regions with diverse road types. Currently, Waze allows drivers to identify paved and unpaved roads; however, many cities, including mine, have roads with unique surfaces, such as cobblestone or "stoned" roads, which can significantly impact vehicle mechanics and increase wear and tear.

    Proposed Solution:

    Additional Road Surface Options: Include new road attributes, such as "Stoned/Cobblestone" roads, alongside "Paved" and "Unpaved."
    User-Selectable Avoidance Options: Allow drivers to choose to avoid certain road types like "Stoned" roads, which can affect vehicle stability and wear.
    Condition…

  14. Remove bots from the last editor's username (updated field)

    Lately, the last editor who edited an object appears to be a bot. There are a few names for bots: "matching feed 1", "waze-maint-bot", "Avsil".
    IMO only human editors should appear as the last editor in the "updated" field. For example, if someone uses a script to filter edits done in the previous month, the filter includes many edits done by a bot, which is not what the user wants to see. The bot's name hides the name of the last human editor.
    It is suggested that bots will not appear in the "updated" field.

  16. Mark gas station brands as "Top Tier"

    When refueling, many drivers are much more interested in fuel quality than in the specific brand. But at present, the Waze gas-station finder offers no means to limit searches by fuel quality.

    Waze can solve this problem by supporting the identification of brands selling "Top Tier" gasoline. "Top Tier" is a consortium of vehicle manufacturers that approves certain gasoline brands as preferred for their engine designs (toptiergas.com).

    "Top Tier" designation is associated with all stations selling certain brands and not with any individual station. I'm not sure what mechanism to suggest for Waze to support editing a brand-wide feature like…

  17. Add entry point automatically for RPP and Point Pkace

    Would it be possible to add entry points for RPPs and Pont Places automatically by default like for the HN?
    Now after inserting the RPP or Point Place on the map, also bringing them closer to the relative segment, often Waze does not take you to the desired arrival point and so to solve the problem we have to manually insert the EPs.
    I think it would be useful if it was automatically inserted by default as it already happens for HN, so the editor would immediately understand where the navigation will lead .
    We will also fix the problem…
