Rest Stop feature to every 1 1/2 or 2 and notify rest area is closed.
I just came off a long trip we tried to stop every two hours and ran into a couple stipulations we need to stop. Having a handicapped daughter we need to stop and where we thought the rest area was open it was closed. Quite racking trying to find a stop. Hope you can figure this out and add an option for closures and rest time.

Option for not enabling Closed updates layer when opening UR
The latest version of WME will now enable the Closed updates layer when opening a UR. Many editors don't want or need this, so I am suggesting a toggle (setting) to prevent this from occurring.

Allow assigning house numbers from the map while there.
I go a lot of places and the house numbers in some areas are either nonexistent or just plain wrong. It would be nice to edit the map while on the street with the house numbers.

Route by best value rather than fastest route
Waze has, on multiple occasions, suggested long detours that are expected to only be a few minutes faster. When you consider the fuel-costs, cost to operate, etc. this is equivalent to paying a toll to save a few minutes.
If a wazer could specify the value of their time and the cost of operating their vehicle then the route planning could find the route with the lowest cost (cost being value of one minute X duration of drive plus operating cost X length of drive).
Since many wazers might not understand how to determine the correct value for their time…

Add Slope / Tilt Penalty
Add a route penalty option for streets with pronounced slopes that can become dangerous (whether due to vehicle capacity or atmospheric conditions). Such an option should have various levels of penalties depending on the tilt angle.

Add On Road Hazard “slow vehicle”
We passed two vehicles going less than 50 in a 70 zone with their flashers blinking in the right lane. Allow to add “slow vehicle” hazard in road to alert truckers and others traveling the speed limit.

Return to Home in WME Nav Tabs
This is a small feature to add to the Nav Tabs in the top left of WME, but as I've had my region enlarged as an AM, I find myself further and further away from my main city doing edits and I have to zoom out and drag quite a lot to get back to my city. I would LOVE a simple "Home" icon in the Nav Tabs to zoom me back to a specific spot on the map. Currently my work around is to load my drives and click on a recent drive which brings me close at least.

conditional tolls
There are some toll segments that go pretty paralell to the public roads, so time savings are more related to traffic (<5 min when comparing vs toll roads).
Waze always will choose the toll segment but for a regular wazer time savings will not be enough to use toll vs public road.
A conditional that let waze to avoid tolls when savings are less than X minutes will help wazers pockets.4 votes -
minimize the URs window
in the URs window we have "x" button but we dont have minimize button "-", Some times it block viewing the Waze provided route & User drive (GPS trace) to study it. So if we have the minimize button who need to minimize it he can.

Flag UR reports
I would like the feature to be able to flag a UR report. This way, volunteers can reply to a UR normally. If the UR is about something that the volunteer cannot fix, allow them to have an option to flag the report with a "level needed" option, so the volunteer can put in which level volunteer is needed to fix the UR.
(I am aware that we have the unlock requests forums, but possibly add the flagged reports to the level that the volunteer requested's feed.

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.

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…

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.

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

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.
