User defined low speed input for better accuracy in journey time.
Not all vehicles can travel at the posted speed limit. Some are limited by type or load. It would be cool if Waze could accommodate this and give an accurate ETA based on the planned speed of the vehicle, rather than the posted limit. For example, the maximum legal speed limit for any vehicle towing a trailer is 80 km/h on all roads in Ireland. Similar restrictions apply to HGV's. A reduced speed field at the start of a route plan would be great for all those drivers.

Different speed limits for School zone Polygon depending on Entry Point
When creating School zones, i encounter the weird situation where the same segment has 2 different speeds, for example: when you go Southbound is 25mph school zone and for the same street but going Northbound the speeed is 15mph. in this case we will use the lowest speed but this wont be accurate, as the alert is telling users that the School zone is 15mph, mean while they going Southbound where the School sign shows 25mph, so this would create URs, complaining about the proper speed for the Soutbound lane, and this is what this suggestions is intended for so…

Add a new closure type: “Intermittent Road Closure”
Description:
I suggest adding a new closure type called “Intermittent Road Closure” to better represent real-world temporary blockages where traffic is periodically allowed to pass. Examples include religious processions, parades, public events, or heavy machinery crossings that alternate between blocking and reopening the road every few minutes (e.g., every 15 or 30 minutes).Problem:
Currently, Waze only supports full or partial closures. However, intermittent closures behave differently: they can cause significant delays but do not justify a total reroute. This creates inaccurate routing decisions and unnecessary detours.Proposed Solution:
Implement an intermittent closure option with the following behavior:- Allows editors…

Remove turns you wouldn’t make off a highway onto a sideroad
Title, i know the “remove difficult intersections” exists, but i’ve tried with or without it and it wants me to go from 55 to 20 (school zone). Over four lanes of traffic, and, on a busy road by me. It’s happened before in other states aswell. Thank you!

Add “Pedestrian Crossing Zone” Warning in WME Map Editor
💡 Idea Description:
I suggest adding a new warning option in the WME Map Editor named “Pedestrian Crossing Zone” to be used in areas with frequent pedestrian movement, such as:
Local markets and shopping centers
Hospitals and medical facilities
Schools and universities
Parks and recreational areas
In reality, there are visible pedestrian crossing signs in these places, but this warning option does not currently exist in WME. As a result, drivers are not alerted to slow down or pay attention to crossing pedestrians in these locations.
🚗 Importance of the Suggestion:
Adding this warning will help drivers to:
Reduce speed…

Route under Sightseeing aspects
If you're choosing a route , waze suggests it always under the aspect of as-fast-as-possible aspects. I got time and am looking for a route under sightseeing aspects, For me it does'nt matter if the route lasts 2 hours longer. i'll make a rest in a nice littel town in a café and are enjoying the landscape.
So we have to use our analog paper map, waze is not really helpfull.
Please give the possibility, to choose a route under touristic aspects.3 votes -

Camera Type: Yellow Box
There is locally to me a traffic enforcement camera that ensures a yellow box outside a fire station near a busy junction is kept clear. There is not currently a camera type that is applicable and can be added.

Suggest an Edit: Endpoint and junction nodes
New editors can add new roads, suggest changes to segment attributes, and add new geometry nodes for existing roads. But this isn't very useful without being able to:
- Suggest connecting a new or existing segment to an existing segment (making a new junction node)
- Suggest moving or otherwise editing an existing endpoint node
It would be great for Suggest an Edit to fully support editing road geometry, connecting segments, and editing junctions.

Allow for polygons in major traffic events to be bigger than 20km
Waze Map Editor doesn't allow a polygon bigger than 20km to be used for a Major Traffic Event.
Example: Attempting to create an MTE for Twin Cities Marathon that only targets a 0.06mi buffer around the route itself, so it only alerts affected drivers.

WME - Requests window blocking city/country - shift it couple pixels down?
Hello,
Check out screenshot:
https://i.imgur.com/zrA1Hly.pngEach time you are dealing with user reports or any kind of reports it's blocking city name.
When you close to report, you need to search for it again and again on the main list.Would be good that we can see city name while working on reports.

Il m’est déjà arrivé de conduire sur l’autoroute et de croiser une voiture qui roulait à contresens. C’était extrêmement dangereux et j’ai dû réagir rapidement. Dans ce genre de situation, une alerte immédiate de Waze (sonore et visuelle) aurait pu prévenir tous les conducteurs autour pour qu’ils redoublent de vigilance.
