Send ETA➡️ Live Activity
I would like to have a live activity on my phone just like google maps have been testing out that shows progress of the trip. When I share my eta with someone, it would be cool if they got a live activity just like Lyft/uber does.

Parking spaces for the disabled
Please add parking spaces for the disabled (blue envelopes). Ideally, they can be added like, for example, dangers. Enough to be able to navigate to them. Tom

Highways traffic officer
Proposal: Addition of National Highways Traffic Officer Reporting Option in Waze
In the United Kingdom, National Highways deploys Traffic Officers to manage both emergency and routine incidents on the strategic road network. These officers are civilian personnel and are not police officers.
Currently, within Waze, patrol vehicles operated by National Highways Traffic Officers are frequently misreported by users as police vehicles. This creates confusion for drivers who receive notifications of “police reported ahead,” only to find that the vehicle in question belongs to a Traffic Officer rather than the police.
To address this, I propose the introduction of a new…

Unify the number of lanes fields in the WME Lanes & Road Width panel
In my opinion, it would be very useful to combine the two fields for the number of lanes in the left panel of WME. Currently, there are two fields: one to indicate the number of lanes and their width, and immediately below that, a second field to indicate the number of lanes, which allows us to add turning instructions. I think it would also be useful to save space by having a single field for the number of lanes, where we can indicate the width and, if necessary, add turning instructions.

Improved Notifications in WME
I suggest adding in WME notifications to improve tracking of URs and map notes:
- Followed URs: Receive notifications directly in WME (not only on the mobile app) when there are updates or new replies.
- Followed map notes: Receive notifications inside WME (not only by email) when new comments are added to notes I am following.
These improvements would make it easier to stay updated, respond faster, and enhance community collaboration without relying only on email or the mobile app.

House numbers on unnamed streets
It is currently not possible to create house numbers on unnamed streets. Here in the Czech Republic it is VERY, VERY, VERY common to have unnamed streets in villages. We need to have this option to start any meaningful house number mapping in the region.

Waze drivers in Canada should be able to report the locations of both Speed and Stoplight Cameras. This ability is not currently vailable.
Speed cameras are being used more and more in Canada, to issues speeding fines. This in itself is not a bad thing except speeding tickets are issued by computer even when only over the speed limit by 1 or 2 kilometers.
Stop light camers are increasing at intersections. Wazers can help slow down traffic for safety by reporting thes camera locations. Reducing speeds in these areas can save lives. Non-wazers who speed through intersections even when the light is red, should be fined and heavily !!
Wazers could help control speeds in critical pedestrian areas by reporting the locations of…

Please add "pause" function for Closures
The "pause" feature will allow editing/modification of segments affected by an ongoing closure. While the closure is active, those segments cannot be edited until the closure concludes or is deleted and recreated. Temporarily pausing a closure to allow changes allows editors to modify any part of the segment. This is useful for long-term closures where significant changes are made to the segments. These changes can be applied to the WME before the closure ends or the roadway expansion or work project is completed, allowing those segments to reopen to vehicle traffic.

Highlight or add areas that have GPS traces without a Waze segment
To identify natively within WME to access areas where the GPS points clearly identify that the road is now constructed and ready for use but Waze doesn't have a segment at this location.
WME/Waze could highlight this to us on the WME feed or as a separate sheets file or any other method where GPS traces are present but no segment under?
This will be the highest confidence that the road exists in real life and editors can focus on it.
GPS Traces are not supported currently by the WME SDK also so we can't script our way through identifying…

Allow speed bump identification for south africa map
South Africa has a lot of speed humps which extend across the entire width of the road.
These speed bumps are not marked very well and adding these to the map will be a great help.1 vote -
long trip
Ability to select way points on your trip so you can specifically select certain roads.
Ability to skip a country due to tolls or other reasons. Example: UK to Italy you select avoid France, the system will generate roads based on skipping France.
More support in general for long trips across country.1 vote -

alternate routes
I drive to the same home twice a week, another location once a week, and run errands on Tuesdays. I use Waze not because I don’t know the routes, but to ensure I’m taking the path of least resistance.
Waze often suggests a route different from my usual one — but I don’t know why. It would be extremely helpful if Waze could show a brief explanation such as “2 minutes faster due to traffic” or “avoids accident ahead.”
Knowing the reason would help me trust Waze’s rerouting, especially when I have regular routes and driving habits.

Full Multi-Stop Route Planning
I’d like to request a true multi-stop route feature like Google Maps has, where you can add and reorder several stops in a single trip. This would make it much easier to plan errands or road trips without having to set each leg separately.

Update links in WME footer - "Get help" and "Editing forum"
In the footer of WME are two links: "Get help" and "Editing forum", which are out of date.
Get help - Redirects to Waze Discuss home page instead of Wazeopedia content on Waze Discuss
Editing forum - The link works currently, but it uses the old phpbb forum link instead of Waze Discuss. Update from http://www.waze.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=8 to https://www.waze.com/discuss/c/editors/waze-map-editors-topics/4930
Low priority fix, I only post this to make my OCD happy.
