Add In Car notification for Map Issues Request
With prevalence of In Car integration for Waze the large number of Map Issue being reported is done via Android Auto or Car Play.
When editors or as of now automated ping requests additional information there is no notification to the User through the In Car integration that this has occurred the user will need to check email through which they can't reply or the app, which most in car users don't open.
Can we have the notification for the user in car and what would be even more helpful is to give user ability to reply via voice to…

Keep Google Map Links Import
Matching Feed imports to Waze places should keep Google Maps links placed by editors. Currently, when matching feed runs, the Waze place is stripped of linked Google places. Alternatively, if the businesses are the clients of matching feed, Waze could make matching feed a bundled service covering Waze and Google Maps.

Semi-Permanent Hazards
Allow editors to add semi-permanent hazards such as lane blockages and construction, similarly to how we can add fully-permanent hazards like speed bumps and sharp curves.

Sort traffic events alphabetically
(This idea was originally raised by kndcajun at the 2026 NA Mega Meet-up.)
When duplicating recurring traffic events, especially events that happen around the same areas and times every year, one needs to navigate page by page to find these traffic events. It would be helpful to have a feature where you could sort them alphabetically.
For example, New Orleans area has over 30 parades each Mardi Gras season. Each one has to be managed carefully, including finding last year's to duplicate, then updating for the new year with any changes.
Currently, scrolling down the list to find a specific…

Show client app version in URs User Preferences field
Currently WME shows various useful information in URs, such as usernames (if available), report source, and various other User Preferences. Please also include app version from which the UR was generated.
This would be useful when troubleshooting certain reports, as some features may not be available to such users and also that some very old version of the app include 'Reported map issue' in the description field by default.
This, at the time of writing, also affects automated replies to URs, from Map Team account.
For e.g., see https://www.waze.com/discuss/t/introducing-automatic-replies-for-urs-without-description-enhanced-filtering/397655/122?u=darkestways thread.

Placing speed bumps from the app.
Hello, it would be interesting to have a way to add speed bumps to the map, mainly because in some places they are placed without permission and this subsequently causes accidents. One way to control this so that people do not abuse the system would be to require a certain number of users to confirm that the speed bump is in that location, so that the app then leaves it there permanently.

Carril Reversible en Guatemala
Permitir reportar carril reversible en Guatemala, las autoridades habilitan este tipo de carriles para agilizar el tráfico y sería una buena opción reportar dónde inician y dónde terminan para otros conductores, también estar alertas que durante cierto horario hay cambio de vías para evitar accidentes.

LPR
I would like to see a feature where I can tag an Automatic License Plate Reader (ALPR/LPR) as a hazard to ensure drivers are aware of cameras being utilized in their area. Thank you

Bring back the Pedestrian Crossings Permanent Hazard (PH)
With the recent launch of the Traffic Light feature, Waze has significantly improved driver awareness at intersections. However, a critical safety gap remains for unsignalized pedestrian crossings (such as those with warning beacons or RRFBs.
Previously, Waze included a "Pedestrian Crossing" category under Permanent Hazards, but its removal has left editors and drivers without a way to map these specific hazards. Currently, a driver will be alerted to a stop sign or to turn at a red light, but they receive no warning/surfacing for a mid-block crossing where a pedestrian might step into the road unexpectedly.
I am advocating for…

Add 'Custom' or 'Other' category for Permanent Hazards to cover undefined road conditions
Expand the Permanent Hazard categories with a "Custom/Other" option to allow editors to flag segments or points with unique, life-saving warnings that don't fit existing labels—such as low-hanging branches, flood-prone causeways, or unexpected dead ends—ensuring the map stays accurate and safe for every type of vehicle and terrain. A short description (e.g. 3 words) can describe the Hazard

Map Problems: Detect overlapping segments
It is very difficult to identify two segments with the same elevation that are overlapping but not connected. Until you click them, you don't realise that they are not connected.
This can leads to routing issues and are not identified until there is a UR or by an editor (mostly by chance).
The Checker tool helps identifying these, but it would be really nice if the overlapping segments could be natively flagged by Waze and surfaced as MPs (Map Problems).

Choosing the Route Type (Economic, Fast, or Safe)
Today, navigation primarily prioritizes the shortest estimated travel time, but the fastest option isn't always the most suitable for the moment.
Each driver has different needs depending on the time of day, context, and purpose of the trip.
Proposal:
Allow the user to choose the route type before starting navigation:
1- Fast Route (default)
Total focus on the shortest estimated time. Maintains the current model.
2- Economy Route
Prioritizes constant flow. Reduces "stop and go". May suggest avoiding tolls. Ideal for long trips or cost reduction.
3- Safe Route
Prioritizes avenues and main roads. Avoids back streets and low-traffic areas.…

Allow snapping of places geometry nodes together
It would be very useful to be able to "snap" geometry nodes of two different places together (just like to when creating an intersection with two segments). This would ease the mapping of adjacent places (e.g.: a mall next to a park, or a river next to a park, that goes all the way to the edge of said river).

Let us filter shown closures on the map after date
Recently due to the carnival festivals in south germany, where you have to close multiple segments in big areas on multiple different days and times, I have noticed that it sometimes gets confusing on which segments you have already closed for which day.
For example when I put a closure for the 15th Feb. then the segment appears with the gray icon showing that there is a upcoming closure. If the whole inner-city gets closed then ALL segments will have that gray icon showing an upcoming closure but in this scenario I also need to close ALL these segments for…
