  1. Avoid school zones

    We need to be able to choose to avoid school zones. Waze takes me through several school zones on my way home. When you don't know the area, you don't know how to go around them. This is really frustrating. The speed slows down to 20 in most zones around here.

  2. Mark for "No Trucks Allowed"

    In Buckeye, Arizona there is a law prohibiting semi traffic in residential areas. With interstate construction it's creating backups and people are looking for routes around it. It's all well and good till a semi tries to drive through our golf community on a road that the city extended a couple of years ago to give residents easier access to Verrado Way. The semi's hit the reflectors marking the cart path crossings. They hit the curbs that weren't designed for truck dimensions. They also come dangerously close to children waiting on the sidewalk for their school busses. The street I'm…

  3. Gas station service level

    Enable editors to add gas station type (self-service, full-service, or either) when adding or modifying a gas station.

    On the client side, users should be able to select a preference for self-service or full-service in Settings > Gas stations. In most areas of the US, users don't know the service type until they reach the station.

  4. Trajectcontrole

    Hallo,

    Zou het ook mogelijk kunnen zijn om bij trajectcontrole een andere kleur weg te maken zolang de trajectcontrole duurt?

  6. Allow for combined speed/red light cameras on map edits

    Australia has combined speed and red-light cameras, so we need to be able to add this new type of camera.

  7. Center the elevation in the box

    When editing the elevation, currently the number in the elevation box is left justified. This puts it right next to the negative (-) sign making it look like it is a negative elevation.

    I recommend center justifying the number to make it more obvious what the actual number is.

  9. Allow addition of new traffic signal or stop sign where one did not previously exist.

    Allow editors to add a new traffic signal or stop sign. Allow alert similar to RR crossing sound. Set alert to expire 30-45 days after signal or stop sign is put into service.

  10. Issue tracker filter incorrectly showing drop down menu arrow direction

    In the issue tracker filter settings, currently the drop down arrows in the map issues filter settings for UR, PUR, MP and map suggestions are showing an up arrow when collapsed and a down arrow when expanded.

    However, in other best practice design scenarios, it should be the other way around. That is, when collapsed, show a down arrow so when you select it, the menu expands. Likewise when the menu is expanded, show an up arrow so when you select it, the menu collapses. This is done correctly in other dropdown menu options in WME

  11. Addition of danger on the road: Smoke

    Users should have the possibility to report a common danger in the road: Smoke. It can be from wildfires as described in another suggestion, however roads are not necessarily closed.
    We have dangers like "ice on road" or "snow", however those are never used in countries where winter never gets below 0°C (or is highly unlikely). On the contrary, every year there are fires causing road hazards with visibility dropping considerably.

  13. Coming up to your destination

    The app no longer gives an indication that you are near your destination or whether your destination is on the left or right anymore. I am constantly driving past my destination before I notice it. The app doesn't even "redirect" as I drive past.

  15. Emergency Closures and Events/accident reporting

    Allow users to add more than one section of road to a road closure.

    It would be good if emergency closures would show up in the app to influence driving directions, and if we could report closures longer than one section of road.

    I was driving somewhere on the weekend, and there'd been a fatal accident on the Highway at 2 am, but Waze still told me to drive using that section of the highway.

    When I looked the accident had been reported on the app hours before I left, and there were comments on the accident about what sections…
