Facilitate the addition/editing of rivers, lakes and water cover
Drawing large rivers on the map, for example, is torture. Although there are scripts that "help" the task, Waze should add its own feature to add water covers, instead of the place editors as it is today.
My suggestion is that each type of water cover has its own type of editor. For example, to draw a river, the editor draws a line that follows the direction of the river and chooses the width, Waze then fills in smoothly, that is, with several "dots".
Another suggestion is the possibility of connecting aquatic elements, such as connecting the river to a…

Name highways
Major highways in Perth aren't labelled. Particularly on routes other than ones currently selected for a journey. It would be useful to be able to know where alternate route highways are.

Traffic jam voice alerts
Add voice alerts along route for traffic jams up ahead. If you are driving you can not see them until it is too late. Right now, it is only visible on map with no voice alerts.

Locating Gravestones
when you go to a cemetery to visit or pray for somebody you don't know, for example, a friend's mom you most likely will need to find somebody around to help you find the grave this can be hard because to everybody will know where the grave is So if a number system for the graves is implemented in every Cemetary a person could easily type the name of the cemetery the name or number of the person they are looking for and they will be lead there using the app instead of having to ask around. This would make…

Corte de calle Yucatan, La Florida
Estimados, junto con saludarles, vivo en calle Yucatan, de la comuna de la Florida, Chile. Les escribo por que esta calle (Yucatan) esta cortada justo en la interseccion con la calle Palermo, por ende Yucatan es una calle sin salida; el problema es que ustedes tienen ambas calles conectadas con libre circulación, factor que no es real; esto resulta en que gran cantidad de autos al día llegan acá y se deben devolver, generando caos residencial.

Increase the number of things that can be modified at country management level.
For example each of the road types creation, could be limited to an editor of a certain level.
Similarly, the walking tracks, railroads, cameras, etc.46 votes -

Tell us if the reporter closes their own report
(Copied from https://www.waze.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1525&t=228417)
Please tell us if the reporter has closed their own UR (don't need to know their username).
Quite often a UR is closed by an editor, and it gives their username in the email and closed UR. The problem is we aren't told if this is just some random editor, or the reporter themselves.
It annoys me when an editors closes URs without comment, as it goes against etiquette, but I wouldn't be so bothered if I knew it was the original reporter. If it wasn't the original reporter, then we could follow up with the…

Invisible RTC's and visible TBR's
Add the ability to control the visibility of TBR and RTC in the client (and define it in WME).
They say they often use the wrong type, just to match the required visibility.1 vote -
Editing permissions - change request
I suggest to chane some editing pernissions as follows (the current required level is given in parenthisis):
- Giving a "narrow street" road type to a segment: 3 (1)
- Entering a TBR / TBTR (this includes difficult turn and toll road designation): 3 (1)
- Enter a turn instruction override: 3 (1)
- Delete a segment that someone else created: 3 (2)
- Create a new MTE: 4 (1)
- View RTC details (view only): 1 (4)
- View of house numbers: 1 (2)

combine Lane guidance segments
With the newly implemented Lane guidance we see new problems rising up.
In belgium, beeing densly populated, we somtimes have several entry's or exits of the highway following up on each other very closely.
sometimes even as close as 20-50 meters.I would like to have a sort of junction box type of tool to combine 2 lange guidance segments.
for example:
2 highway exits within 50 meters. I want the Lane guidance before the first exit to allready show in what lane I have to stay if I have to take the 2nd exit.It's kind of hard to…

custom alerts
I would like to be able to place custom warnings in WME that come through to the app.
problem:
- certain tunnels see a lot of truckers or camper vans getting jammed because they are too large to enter.
- school area's getting dangerous when people who do not know the area are routed through due to a traffic jam somewhere else.Idea:
I imagine this like placing a speedcam in WME but then beeing able to fill in a message (with a set maximum of characters).
We could use those to put warnings in problematic areas, and these can…18 votes
