Camera Type: Yellow Box
There is locally to me a traffic enforcement camera that ensures a yellow box outside a fire station near a busy junction is kept clear. There is not currently a camera type that is applicable and can be added.

Provide ample time to make an exit if you have to make a choice of right or left exit
Avoid people having to miss their exit because you don’t provide enough time and/or lane guidance ahead of time. Was supposed to go left on an exit that had left/right option and Waze did not tell me ahead of time and almost missed their exit.

Add neighborhoods to places
Many cities have stores with many locations around the city. These can be hard to distinguish in Waze, since people might not be familiar with the specific street name, and some countries have many streets with no name or similar names. Just as places are assigned to cities, it should also be possible to assign them to a neighborhood (defined based on community guidelines), so it's easier to find and identify places.
A recent feature allows for neighborhoods from Google to appear in search results, but this request is to define and manage neighborhood areas directly in the WME, either…

Event Announcements
Currently, event announcements remain displayed even after the event has ended.
Unless they are deleted manually, they stay on the screen and make it difficult to view new announcements.Therefore, I would like to request the addition of a feature that automatically deletes event announcements once they have ended.

Allow segment suggestions on segments with permanent hazards
Well its not possible to suggest edits when a segment has hazards like speed bumps. Its anoying when we are changing smt like direction of an entire street and some of the segments have hazards.

Add a hidden stop sign permanent hazard.
I think it would improve user safety if we were able to label hidden/hard to see stop signs. For example stop signs behind a bush, after a blind curve, or awkwardly placed signs.

Additional scheduler option needed
I have been adding a bunch of school zones using the new scheduler feature.
It would be nice to be able to to choose a date range and select that it repeats on the same day every week.
For example:
I have come across many schools that are closed most Fridays. Since they aren't closed every single Friday, I can't just remove Friday's from the "included Dates" tab. So I have to add each Friday as an excluded date.For example, in this example:
School starts on August 6 (denoted by the "[")
School is in session on all the…6 votes -
Post-Trip Summary & Route Comparison
I would like to request a "Trip Summary" card that appears automatically upon reaching a destination. Currently, the navigation simply ends, and valuable driving data is lost.
Proposed Metrics to Display:
- Performance: Distance, Total Time, Avg/Max Speed.Efficiency: Estimated fuel/battery cost for the trip.
Traffic Insight: Moving time vs. Stopped time (idling/traffic).
Smart Comparison Feature: For frequent routes (specifically "Home" to "Work" and vice versa), the summary should include a comparison against the user's historical average.
Example: "You arrived 3 minutes faster than your average commute."
Benefit: This would help users analyze their driving habits, optimize their commute times,…

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…

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.

Vacation Mode for POI's
Would like too add a "vacation" mode for POI's like restaurants so you can make them temporarily closed.

Have a checkbox for "Cash Only" instead of or as well as "Accepts Credit Cards" in the Services menu
As most businesses accept credit cards, I feel like a more applicable option to select would be for "Cash Only" as that is very important information to know about a place before heading there.

Rerouting optional
In the beginning of a ride, the app will let you chose between several routes. However, even if you purposely selected a certain route, it will automatically reroute you, if it found a "faster" route. Sometimes though, you do not want that because you chose a certain route on purpose. Unfortunately, other than in Google Maps (where you get a notification that a faster route was found that you can dismiss) there is no option in Waze to reject such rerouting. This can sometimes even lead to dangerous situations, like if you get rerouted through an unsafe neighborhood.

Request: Add adjustable handle size as a standard WME feature
Hi Waze team,
The handles for roads and Places in WME are currently very small, which makes them difficult to grab accurately.
Beginners often struggle with precise editing, and even detail‑oriented editors would benefit from being able to adjust the handle size to match their workflow.I would like to request that WME include the following as a standard feature:
Larger default handle sizes, or
A setting that allows users to adjust handle size
Adding this feature would improve usability for all editors and reduce frustration, especially for new contributors.
Thank you for considering this enhancement.6 votes -
Street View Time Machine
Street view function on WME does not always show the latest pictures, it would be useful if we have Time Machine.

URs: Simple reply form to provide more detail
As most editors will attest to, the rate of receiving follow-up details from users who submit URs is still very low. When we follow up and ask for further details, I'm sure many users click on the 'View Report' button in the e-mail intending to reply, but are then put off by the fact that they have to go through a clumsy process of logging in to a WME interface they probably haven't used before (which is not optimised for mobile phones, and if they haven't previously logged in to WME they have to go through two layers of security…

Allow longer Event Name character count
25 characters is simply not enough for most events. Abbreviations are not possible. Examples: "Merdeka Eve Celebration 2026", translated into Malay, "Sambutan Ambang Merdeka 2026", and some official marathon names I've come across, and ending up not adding these to the event calendar at all for these events.
Suggest to allow at least 50 characters, I believe that would be more than enough.

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…

change/adapt default average speed assigned to a segment for itinerary calculation
Hello,
Using the script "road speed", I can see what are the average speed used for route calculation on every segment.
I'm working on the map in Rwanda, Africa. Here, the major/minor highway may sometime be unpaved road. On these road, the driving speed never exceed 20-30 kph. However, by default, the speed on these "major highway" segment asigned by waze is 60-80 kph, which induce huge difference in the ETA.
Of course, in cities or in the main roads where there is a lot of wazer traffic, this is automatically adapted thanks to the users. But in less populated…
