Being able to add construction just like road closures
When you make a closure through the app or through WME , you are able to select one whole segment / multiple segments to apply the road closure on.
My Idea is that reporting construction would work just like reporting/making a closure, or probably giving the user the option to just place a warning or to select a whole road segment to add the construction to
And like european maps (from germany and nearby) , the whole segment should be covered in orange and white strips... Just like road closures but orange instead of red!

Emergency Closures and Events/accident reporting
Allow users to add more than one section of road to a road closure.
It would be good if emergency closures would show up in the app to influence driving directions, and if we could report closures longer than one section of road.
I was driving somewhere on the weekend, and there'd been a fatal accident on the Highway at 2 am, but Waze still told me to drive using that section of the highway.
When I looked the accident had been reported on the app hours before I left, and there were comments on the accident about what sections…

The Ability to add truck restricted routes so drivers do not get tickets.
As a truck driver, there are routes that are restricted to NO truck traffic. I have received tickets because I was not aware. Late at night it would nice to know if route is restricted because sometimes you cannot see posted signs until it is too late. It is too difficult to safely turn a big truck around past that point...

timeline
I was accessing the app to see if there was a timeline history on my account as I was trying to see the routes I have been following to compare with other applications and see which ones provide the best routes.
Recently I experienced some long routes in waze that could have been avoided.1 vote -
Time-based restrictions with annual repetition.
We should be able to place traffic restrictions on a segment, for example in the summer (June 1st to September 30th).
As the 1 has already passed, we can only place it from today (June 22) and we can only correct it to be correct for the next year after September.
In this case, it should be possible to insert the total (correct) date of the restriction.

JB, RRC, Camera: Edit only when the layer is on
For Place you have to enable the layer. This is a good feature so you can‘t create something what is still there but hidden.
Can you expand this also to JB, RRC, Camera?42 votes -
External providers: Sort suggested places by distance with closest first
WME uses Google Maps as the external provider in Israel and suggests places located in different towns, especially when the edited place belongs to a network. It would help to choose the right place if the suggested places are sorted by distance, with closest places first.

External providers: Also suggest places marked as permanently closed (with a proper mark)
WME uses Google Maps as the external provider in Israel and doesn't suggest places marked in Google as permanently closed. Meanwhile, showing that the place is marked as closed in Google would hint that the place needs additional checking and possibly should be removed from the Waze map.

Traffic data layers in WME for advanced editors
It would be useful for editors investigating routing issues and making mapping decisions to have a configurable traffic data layer in WME that could show a variety of information collected from drivers. This would include statistics such as the average number of Wazers driving on the segment per day, speed percentiles for drivers on the segment, the "freeflow" speed that Waze is using in routing, and the amount of times that the routing server has used the segment. It would also be useful for editors to be able to see locations where the app consistently has trouble snapping drivers to…

Display locations where drivers often deviate from Waze directions
Locations where drivers frequently deviate from Waze directions may indicate mapping errors such as missing or incorrect turn restrictions, confusing turn instructions that drivers misunderstand and take a wrong turn, or poor routing where drivers know a better route than the one provided by Waze. It would be helpful for editors to have this data as an additional tool to detect possible locations for improvements to be made to the map.

More informative options for the GPS layer colours (colour by speed or age)
Currently, the arrows on the GPS layer are coloured by direction. It would be useful for editors to be able to choose between that and at least two other options: colour by speed, to help editors understand historical traffic patterns and troubleshoot routing decisions; and colour by age, to help editors spot roads that may have been recently realigned or closed.
52 votesThanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

The type of way (preferred / unfavorable / neutral) now it does not appear anymore
The type of via appeared and now it does not appear anymore, even if the editor did not have access to edit this information it appeared on the screen, me and some friends here liked this information because it helped new users to better understand why they did not have access to edition. Because only levels 4 above appear. Could you go back?

Save filters
The new issue tracker is great, but I think it could be even better if we had the ability to save our own filters, so that I could create and save filters like: "no description", "unreplied", "rerported by me", etc.
For example, currently, if I want to filter unreplied URs I have to set: status = "open", types = "all types", description = "both", comments = "no comments", and uncheck "has comments".
It's really hard to always set all these options, and if I could save the filters, I would only have to do it once. Next time I could…
