When adding hazards, log GPS coordinates when click on the yellow triangle
At the moment, the location of a hazard is logged when the final tap is made (i.e. Hazard > Hazard > Vehicle on shoulder) - can the location not be changed so that it's logged when the first tap is made on the hazard triangle - it will make locations of hazards more accurate as now it can be half a mile down the road by the time the final tap is made...

Add an alert feature for vehicle driving in wrong direction on highway
Hi,
Recently in my neighborhood there was an incident where a southbound vehicle travelled on a northbound lane which resulted in a fatal accident. I have not been able to stop thinking about this incident.
When this incident occurred, there were several calls made to 911 by commuters who noticed the vehicle driving on the wrong side. Is it possible that Waze could tie up with 911 or capture this information is some way and get an alert out to other commuters who are unaware of such a vehicle? Although this would not prevent this type of incident, it would…

Traffic Indication on UR reports
When dealing with Update Requests, I'm seeing quite a few which has dubious waze navigation instructions where having an indication of the traffic levels at the exact point of the report being made would be quite advantageous.
In this example, was the bad navigation due to traffic levels, or do we have a serious mapping issue? Can't tell with the limited amount of information made available by the UR report.
Having such tools available would help greatly with managing the map

Ability to lock screen while riding
Whilst riding (motorcycle) in the rain, the rain can oftentimes register as accidental touches, causing unintentional actions (panning, changing destination etc).
The option to lock the screen from accidental touches and perhaps a simple press and hold or unlock gesture to re-enable touches would help to prevent accidental/unintentional inputs and would reduce avoidable hassle whilst riding in (already) difficult circumstances

Add height, width restriction for roads, and height, width of vehicle as config option
It is very annoying using Waze and being routed on some shortcut through a tunnel or some narrow road where your car doesn't fit.
This happened to me few times while driving a camper.7 votes -

Residential - show closest semgent where the drive will lead
Hello, there,
in the new editor v. 2.242 there are no possibility to show the residential names. I have to choose each to be able to see their names. And there is no possibility to show the neariest part of segment where the drive will be lead.
Is it possible to enable the option to "show residential names" just as it is for POIs and parking places?
Is it possible to enable "show the closest segment where will be driver navigated"?
It is pretty needed, because to create the residential is very easy, but if there are more streets around,…6 votes -

Add keyboard shortcuts for handling of URs
Another suggestion related to "mark as solved" and "mask as non identified" actions is now in the backlog.
Those actions are frequently made when handling URs, and would deserve shortcuts:
- "Send" (sending a comment)
- selecting the comment area (allowing to start typing a comment)
- closing the window of the UR (perhaps via the ESC key)3 votes -
Allow residential places to be moved farther from their "parent" street
Currently, it is generally not possible to create a RPP at, or move an existing one to, a location more than (approximately) 550 m from a segment that has the same street name as the RPP. However, in rural areas of the United States, it is not unheard-of for houses to be located much farther than that from the nearest road. Suggestion: increase the allowed distance for RPPs to at least 1,500 m (no objection if this would require a higher editing level to accomplish than the default R1 for creating an RPP).

Habilitar botón de Obras Temporales
Seria una buena utilidad, habilitar una nueva función en el panel de avisos de acceso rápido en la App, para notificar Obras de larga duración, o Obras de Corta Duración, estipulando un intervalo de tiempo fijo para mantener los avisos.
Un ejemplo: Cortan un carril por obras, por una rehabilitación de la mediana en una autovía, el tiempo de la obra no lo sabes, pero al ver que es una obra de gran envergadura, pondrías Aviso de Obra Larga duración.
Ejemplo 2: Vas circulando y ves que están asfaltando una calle, seguramente en 2-3 días, este terminada. Notificas aviso de…10 votes -
Change color of nature from pink to a color that matches the feature
Sometimes when being zoomed in to the map and working with different nature features such as water or forest, it is hard to see what is what. Would it be possible to make water a blue color instead of the pink color and forest green instead of pink?

Automatically create shapes for nature areas such as water or forrest
When adding certain nature-related areas such as water for ponds, lakes, etc., and forests it takes a lot of time and clicking to get them in place. It would be useful if we could point to an area and the map editor looked at that area, e.g., a lake, and then automatically create a shape from the contours of the nature feature. Then we could adjust it manually if needed before saving.

Use URL to add external provider
Sometimes WME fails to locate a right matching place from Google Maps, but the place can be found with Google search engine. As a solution I suggest to enable WME to assign a matching place also by a known URL from Google Maps.

Implementation of an App to be able to edit | Implementación de un App para poder editar
Hi 👋🏼 I have a suggestion that will change completely to improve the Efficiency of all editors and it is nothing more and nothing less than to implement an app for editors that allows us to edit like google maps only that the advantage of Waze is that it is more secure and reliable by the hierarchies. having the WME tool in our palm gives us the power to edit at any time and anywhere giving more constant tracking and updates without having to wait to get home or somewhere safe.
Cheers!Español:
