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…

WME EVENT Page Upgrade Suggestion
Hello. I would like to suggest an improvement to Events: it should be possible, directly within the Event Page, to manage the associated road closure(s) by enabling or disabling them. Additionally, it would be useful to define new schedules for each closure—specifically, if a closure is extended, the Event duration itself should automatically update to match, even if it’s just one or a small part of the multiple associated closures. Thank you.

Use AI to see the live traffic levels in each turn lane/lanes going to different major roads
Use AI to see the live traffic levels in each lane based on user data and traffic movement. This could be a turn lane to turn left/right, or say if lanes 1&2 go to the M25 and 3&4 carry onto the A3. As the people who go to the M25 is queueing, AI could determine the estimated travel times by people who have already sat in the traffic queue by which direction they end up going.
This will give more accurate arrival times and better routes for the user.

when reporting errors on the map, there is no option to correct speed limits that are incorrectly shown by waze
If you notice a wrong speed limit indicated by Waze, there is no easy option on the app to report or even correct the speed limit even if you are seeing it as a perm change and not a temporary decrease speed limit

Make editors able to place down Pothole hazards in WME
As of right now, you can only add a road hazard in the map, then a bypasser doesn’t see the pothole and mark it as “Not there” which removes it.
There should be a feature in WME that lets us editors add potholes which we know exist there, more permanent ones.

Multiple sets of hours
Add the capability for editors to add multiple sets of hours for an establishment. This feature would be especially beneficial for banks and pharmacies. At banks, ATMs are often open 24/7, while human tellers, consultants, notaries, and other banking personnel are not at banks 24/7. At pharmacies, the convenience store and the pharmacy itself mostly have different hours. Finally, there are some establishments with delivery hours and/or drive-thru hours that differ from the establishment's standard operating hours.
6 votesGreat thinking! We’ll share with the team; they’re always interested in new feature ideas.

2D Hazards
I'm not sure if this sort of thing will be covered in Permanent Hazards development, but it would be very handy to be able to define an area polygon to which a hazard report would apply.
To me, the obvious application would be for prolonged construction zones where roads remain open but users ought to be made aware of an issue ahead.
How I see this working:
An editor would draw a polygon over the affected area and then choose a hazard type and add an optional comment to the polygon. It should be possible to define schedules and an…6 votes -
Better history for place update
Hey,
in place edit history, it would be nice to have more details on PUR : the only status is accepted or rejected.
Maybe it is not easy to tell what photo was refused or a refused change name, but it would be nice to know what was the updated fields (was it about adding or removing a photo, rename the venue).by kpouer

Show RPP PUR's on feed list
There is no privacy issue involved here.
There's simply a pin in the map, among many others, but I can't find them like any others, just because category is "residential"
The privacy issues are solved by the already omitted creator/updater of the place. By not showing them, you are simply making it harder for the PUR be moderated, as we have to scan the map or rely on scripts to do that.
So, plainly: RPP PUR's should be shown in feed list just as any other PUR.
OBS: Previous discussion took place here: https://www.waze.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=211&t=249211&p=1774596#p1774596

Remove Two-Way Segments
Two-way segments are very rarely necessary and are very often overused by map editors to oversimplify maps. Even the smallest "two-way roads" have at least one lane dedicated to each of the two directions. Having each segment representing a single roadway will permit maps and navigation that are more intuitive to the users of the app, and perhaps help avoid the tendency of editors to try to combine separate roadways into one segment.

Enable Undo after Save
It happened to me a couple of times. I deleted and element, clicked Save, and then understood it wasn't the element I meant to delete.
It would be great to enable undo changes that have been just saved.

Update Request Submission Time
The submission time listed for URs SHOULD indicate the time the reporter clicks the report button in the app, NOT the time it is submitted/sent. The timestamp of sending is not as important as the timestamp when the button is pressed (i.e. for verifying Time Based TRs)

Subway station elevation
There should be a feature that would enable editors to include the elevation of a subway station as they can do with PLAs.

100 gas, fuel station price list update suggestions
Hello dear Waze Team,
I am contacting you because I’d like to suggest some features to be added. As I am a gasoline car user who always fills her car with 100 octane gas, I’d like to see prices of that as well in the price list at fuel stations. I’d also add a menu for updating prices by seeing the info page of the station.
Thank you for your consideration.
All the best,
Hanna

Please integrate postal codes with actual addresses in Singapore
I have a hard time syncing my new postal code with my address. The address shows the proper position on the map. But the postal code brings me to a different position. When I highlighted this issue, the Waze map editors said that they are not able to make the change, and that postal codes were out of their domain.
Postal codes are the main way that people search for addresses. If the postal code points to the wrong area, the app is not accurate. If Waze is serious about using crowd sourced information to improve, why is linking up…

Make road hazard and police icons bigger while using apple carplay
While using apple CarPlay in a 2020 Silverado, the road hazard and police icons are tiny little dots, while the restaurant and other less important icons are huge. Please make the icons for road hazards bigger.
