Forests in separate layer
Forests are nice on map, but they can be really annoying when dealing with segments beneath them. Large area places can also make some slower computers struggle while editing the map.
So the suggestion would be to have a possibility to turn off forests while keeping all other places visible. Just like we have parking lots.129 votes -
Events: additional tickbox "event needs push notification"
Requesting push notifications for events through the editors' community still doesn't work very well and is not rewarding.
Now contributors get a notification if their event was published by Waze staff but they get no notification about the event being reviewed at first. If Waze decided to not send a notification, the contributor doesn't get to know the reason, nor the information that the decision has been made!When I enter major events I -as a local member- often know that they have a high impact on traffic in the near area.
I suggest adding a tickbox to clearly show…

Bring back the zoom bar
With all of the new zoom levels I'm respectfully begging for the return of the zoom bar in order to know what zoom level you are at.

Also, the zoom bar allowed for single click zooming, rather than using the scroll wheel or multiple clicks.

Different closure types for emergency vehicles
There can be roughly two types of closures on roads. One is that the road is completely closed and driving is absolutely not possible. That's what we have now. Second possible situation is "soft closure", where although the road is publicly closed, some vehicles could still pass because the road itself is drivable.
"Soft closure" can be an event closure like a festival or VIP visit or something else similar, where an emergency vehicle could drive through in case of an emergency. Such soft closures should not close the road completely, but add a small penalty instead, because you can't…
