Allowing business pages to edit their locations
We recently opened a new community health center and a lot of our clients utilize Waze to navigate the city. It would be extremely helpful for business owners and clients to be able to locate the correct address. It is almost physically impossible to edit the map and there are no instructions or guides for assistance. This error needs to be addressed immediately.

I would like to see a navigation function with detailed diagrams. (Since I am using a translation function, the text may be unnatural.)
nice to meet you. I am editing waze maps in Japan. I don't speak English so I use translation software. Therefore, there may be some parts of the text that are incorrect, so please forgive me.
Japanese car navigation systems have a function that displays a diagram that reproduces the shape of the intersection and which road to turn to when passing through an intersection or junction. However, that feature only supports some intersections.
It looks like the diagram on the right side of the screen in this image: https://panasonic.jp/car/navi/products/HA02_HE02/img/top/pic_01.png
Therefore, I would like to request that waze introduce such…4 votes -

Advance warning for speed limit changes
I drive a tracked vehicle, I need to be at the new speed limit before passing the signs. ie, 60mph dropping to 40mph, if the signs are hidden round the corner, I need to brake harder to slow down in time.
Would it be possible to have either a visible marker on the moving map to display the different speed limit up ahead, or a warning pop up maybe 200yds in advance?

New Permanent hazard: Check-point
In many countries, fixed check-points are installed on the road. It could be done by Police, Customs, Tax services, Weight check... and even borders.
It would be great to have those marqued on the map as permanent Hazard " Check point". It has basically the same effect of a toll booth: You often need to stop there, or a least drive through at a very reduced speed.
This would be a great safety enhancement for both drivers and those manning those check points.

Make easier to select segments
Sometimes we need to do a bulk alteration in several segments, like to change max-speed, directions and so. Although it is possible to select all the street, sometimes, we don't need to change all the segments in the street.
Also, if a person has some mobility disability or dificulties, it is common they lost their selection of several segments because either clicked in a wrong place or not hold the ctrl key.
The suggestion is either a creation of a 'Selection mode' that can be activated and allows the user to click in the desired elemnts or a checkbox like…6 votes -

Default new users in US and UK to Imperial units
Since the wonderful new Edit Suggestions tool has been released, we have seen many (too many) suggestions from well-meaning users in the US to change speed limits to values like 16 or 31 mph. Obviously these users were set by default to use metric units without realizing it.
If a user tries to edit using the WME for the first time in a country that uses Imperial speed limits (which I believe is only the US, UK, Anguilla, Antigua, Barbados, and the Cayman Islands), their units should automatically be set to Imperial by default.
53 votesGreat timing! We're currently working on defaulting new users in the US and UK to Imperial units. Keep an eye out for updates on the WME.

Allow Junction Boxes and Paths to exist together
When editing, there are many times that you need to restrict a turn that would require the use of a Junction Box (JB) to accomplish. The issue is that if a different route, that does not fit in the JB, needs to have Paths set up, we have to choose one or the other.
We need the ability to set Paths through a JB

Allow combining chargers when merging EVCS
When merging EVCS, give users the option to include both sets of chargers. For some reason, some networks (ahem, ChargePoint) sometimes list multiple charger sites in the same parking lot or garage. If we try to merge them, we have to select one or the other set of chargers. Please add an option to include both sets.

Enable Voice alert for approaching Speed bumps
Hello Waze Team,
It would be so helpful for all Wazers to receive Voice alerts when approaching a speed bump so that we can prepare ourselves to slow down before approaching the speed bumps, as actually speed bumps has been added but it does not appear or notify you via voice alert that we are nearing a speed bump.
Grateful to look into adding voice alert when approaching speed bumps.
Thank you,
Kushal
