Ability to reorder or select primary picture
Allow the editor to select the primary picture shown in the app that best represents the location for the driver. Another option is to allow drag and drop ordering of all the pictures available in order of precedence.

Manual input for zoom level
With all the new zoom levels being planned, clicking the +/- to go up/down in zoom gets very tiring. This suggestion is to add a "Manual" number input field between the + and - to
a) display the zoom level (instead of using a tooltip) - disadvantage of tooltip is you have to hover your cursor over the zoom control
b) allow you to manually input the number you want the zoom to jump to. For example, you are at zoom level 20. You want to get to zoom level 12. Instead of clicking - 8 times, you type "12"…

Add the ford option
Waze should add another option for ford, along with the existing ones: "Unpaved", "Tunnel", etc.
In the Waze Map Editor, the editor could choose this option for the entire length of the road that passes through a body of water.

Allow editing geometry of segments with permanent hazards (PHs)
Currently, if a segment has a PH, it automatically becomes non-editable by lower level editors, even if they would normally be able to edit a given segment, had there been no PH on that segment. This prevents an editor from continuing, and requires intervention from a senior level editor.
The only way around it, is to remove the entire segment with a PH and add it again, in order to continue fixing geometries. However, there is a big downside to this approach, that it also removes added HNs.
One could isolate the PH, by sub-dividing the segment into three segments,…

House Number (HN) Mode recenters map
When hitting H to enter HN editing mode, the map is recentered and zoomed on the selected segment. There should not be any zoom or centering change if the current zoom level allows for HN editing.

WME Feed customise by country
WME Default loading is launching with feed showing KoiFish suggestions that are locked for almost all editors.
Most L1-2 editors cannot add these and cannot hide them either. As a display, it is very confusing for them.
Without taking away any choices in Feed selection, it would be nice if the WME Default Feed could either be selected by country as defined by coordinators or at least remove KoiFish suggestion as default load for all editors.

Automate restricted area pass creation directly from WME to eliminate lengthy manual workflows
The current workflow to create and deploy navigation passes (toll and restriction passes) is overly complicated, error-prone, and causes massive delays for local communities and map editors.
Current Workflow Bottlenecks:
Manual Data Duplication: Editors must configure the restricted area in WME, manually fill out an external spreadsheet with the area's technical details, and hand it over to the coordinators.Complex Communication Chain: Coordinators must submit a request to the dedicated team.
Massive Turnaround Times: The review and creation process often takes months. If instructions are misunderstood or a minor mistake occurs, the request is rejected or improperly configured, forcing editors…

Ajouter un outil de signalement d'animaux perdus
Bonjour, je me permets de vous contacter pour vous soumettre une idée qui pourrait rendre votre application encore plus attractive et qui pourrait rendre service à un grand nombre de personnes...
Étant actuellement à la recherche du petit chien de ma sœur qui à fugué, j'utilise Waze pour vérifier les signalements d'animaux morts sur les routes (en espérant ne pas le retrouver de cette manière).
L'idée est qu'il serait vraiment très pratique de développer une option permettant de signaler des animaux errants... Encore plus pratique, un service permettant de signaler aux conducteurs qu'un animal est recherché dans une zone précise…

Allow editors to override default order in which area polygons are rendered.
Often times we find that area places intersect on the map and do not render in a way that makes sense. As an example, under the current scheme, a large water body will be drawn behind a smaller park polygon where these two types of objects are drawn together. To combat this, editors are required to either draw complex coastlines twice, or break up water objects to create smaller polygons that will be drawn on top. We could improve the appearance of the map significantly if we had some control over which objects appear in front of others. This could…

We would like to get some examples with permalinks in order to be able to check this suggestions.
Any example will be highly appreciated.
Thank you!

New Feature Request - When a photo must be rejected
It would be nice to have a comment window or a multi-choice button list in WME to send to the Wazer who submitted a rejectable photo so that we can tell them why the photo is being rejected:
- This photo shows a person's face
- This photo is too blurry
- This photo shows a license plate
- This photo is not helpful in identifying the place
...and so forth. It would be something more than just "this does not meet our community standards."
16 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.

Could you add express lane support.
Could you add express lane support. I would like to be able to edit the map for express lanes and when they are open be directed to take them when I can! Right now waze gets confused when I use the express lanes and tends to direct me on the slow freeway.

Note or comment on reason for place update request in editor
Create an option to add a note onto a PUR in the editor when a change is pending for a higher level editor to approve the request.
There are several suggestions on being able to add reasons for why an update is rejected, but a method for the submitting editor to explain the reason for a change might be more effective in helping the senior editor make the decision to accept or reject.
This can currently be done with a map comment, but often those arent noticed when reviewing the PURs in busy areas or will remain on the map…

Closure layer behaviour on selected segments
When the closure layer is off and you have a segment with closure selected, the active closure is not showing when you switch on the closure layer. You need to unselect and reselect the segment to be able to see it. It would be nice if that can be resolved.

New WME Layer - Submitted Imagery
Google-provided aerial imagery is very outdated in places, being at least 6 years old in the area I live. Even in more recent areas, there are new developments and intersections which have been built since. I suggest a way for experienced (lvl 3+?) editors to submit personal drone shots or publicly-available renderings of new developments to be added to a new layer on the map editor. This would make editing updated areas significantly more accurate, and provide a way to confirm the new developments before GPS traces are available. It would also make such imagery accessible to all map editors.

Allow to drag a node of a segment with closure
Dragging of a node is not allowed when the node is of a segment with closure on it, although the ID of the segment that includes the closure does not change. It is suggested to allow it.
As a temporary solution, it is possible to delete the closure, and then drag the node, and then reenter the closure (but still the closure is removed for the time it takes to complete the change).15 votes -
TR-panel shouldn't cover the TR-arrows
I've the impression that the behavior of the TR panel is changed. The panel remains longer visible after clicking one of the TR arrows. Nice in certain circumstances. Not so nice if you want to set all TR arrows of a crossing and some of the arrows are covered by the panel.
Suggestion:
Place the panel a bit further away from the crossing, making all TR arrows reachable.
The little triangle pointing to the selected arrow could be lengthened.15 votes
