Exempting some editors from waiting for changes to be applied to the map
Hi .
I don’t know if Waze can exempt some editors who dedicated their lives to editing from the 24-hour waiting period for changes.
Several reasons support this idea:
such as editors having limited time due to family and work commitments.
Some actions require immediate attention, and exceptions could enhance map accuracy, accelerate change application, and impress users with faster updates, attracting new users.Your thoughts stemmed from adding a Gate to a mall, experiencing instant change app, prompting the idea of applying this efficiency to the entire map.
thanks!

Horrible new display! Wrecked into a ditch what happened to the exit numbers
WHY would you put the miles left ABOVE the exit you’re supposed to take? And what’s worse is you also make the long names of the exits the SAME font size as the exit number. I’m in Atlanta and almost had a wreck because I was so dang busy reading the stupid street names of the exit and the miles left, I barely could see the actual EXIT NUMBER and had to run into a ditch desperately trying to read where the exit number was. Please reconsider changing it back b cause I was not ready for that. Splot seconds…

Add More Culture / Entertainment Subcategories
It would be nice to have more subcategories for Culter/Entertainment venues. A couple of examples would be Bowling Alley and Arcade. When I look at bowling alleys in Waze they are flagged as the the main category, but I feel having a subcategory for them would help with users locating them.
I don't think this is too much to ask when we have subcategories for Race Track and Theme Park which is significantly fewer in number.
A list of culture/entertainment subcategories that come to mind that would be helpful:
- Bowling Alley
- Arcade
- Mini Golf (Putt-Putt)
- Escape Room

Category for map issues
I was driving the other day and the speed limit indicated by Waze was incorrect. I went to the map issue button in the car, but that was not one of the options for telling what the problem with the map was. The editor who handled my problem then needed to contact me just to find out what the problem with the map was. While I don't mind the contact, it would have quicker and easier for everyone if a speed limit change was an option. Where I'm currently living there is a housing boom. As new subdivisions go up,…

Keep usernames in WME history instead of "inactive user"
Whenever an user is banned or deletes his/her account or just mysteriously (!!) loses his/her account, all edits in history will be shown under name "inactive user" with a link to 404 page.
Just, for the sake of history, please keep the original username in history and add a little remark that the account is inactive/deleted/etc..

Advance warning for speed limit changes
I drive a tracked vehicle, I need to be at the new speed limit before passing the signs. ie, 60mph dropping to 40mph, if the signs are hidden round the corner, I need to brake harder to slow down in time.
Would it be possible to have either a visible marker on the moving map to display the different speed limit up ahead, or a warning pop up maybe 200yds in advance?

I would like to see a navigation function with detailed diagrams. (Since I am using a translation function, the text may be unnatural.)
nice to meet you. I am editing waze maps in Japan. I don't speak English so I use translation software. Therefore, there may be some parts of the text that are incorrect, so please forgive me.
Japanese car navigation systems have a function that displays a diagram that reproduces the shape of the intersection and which road to turn to when passing through an intersection or junction. However, that feature only supports some intersections.
It looks like the diagram on the right side of the screen in this image: https://panasonic.jp/car/navi/products/HA02_HE02/img/top/pic_01.png
Therefore, I would like to request that waze introduce such…4 votes -
Natural sequence for house numbers
Is necessary to enable the insertion of house numbers that are a sequence of natural numbers (Ex.: 101, 102, 103, 104, ....), which is very common in several condominiums in Brazil.

MyRadar weather integration
Partnering with a quality weather app like MyRadar would be very helpful for not only motorcyclists but for choosing routes on longer trips.

Average Speed Camera Location
Give the ability to pinpoint the location of the camera's that are being used for ASC's.
It adds another layer of information (besides the speed check zone announcement) to the map and avoids users reporting these ANPR-camera's as regular speed camera's.

Implementation of an App to be able to edit | Implementación de un App para poder editar
Hi 👋🏼 I have a suggestion that will change completely to improve the Efficiency of all editors and it is nothing more and nothing less than to implement an app for editors that allows us to edit like google maps only that the advantage of Waze is that it is more secure and reliable by the hierarchies. having the WME tool in our palm gives us the power to edit at any time and anywhere giving more constant tracking and updates without having to wait to get home or somewhere safe.
Cheers!Español:

Indiquer les voies bloquées dans l'onglet "Fermetures" de WME
Bonjour,
Serait-il possible d’ajouter une option dans l'onglet "Fermetures" de Waze Map Editor pour indiquer précisément quelle voie est bloquée ? Cela permettrait d’utiliser les flèches de l'onglet "Voies et largeur" pour spécifier les fermetures plus en détail.
Merci !

Message from a user reporting the end of a closure, does not indicate the location
As a map editor, we can sometimes insert numerous closures in one day, due to construction or traffic events.
When a user reports that a closure is no longer active, I, as the editor who created it, receive a message in my application. However, this message only indicates the information that the user reported. Example: “This road is not closed”
This does not provide additional information, such as the name of the road or even the location’s PL. If I create a lot of closures, I can’t identify which location it is.4 votes -
Add km and miles distance to the navigation screen
Please, update the app to show the distance with both km and miles at the same time.
On the bottom of the navigation screen (after setting the destination) there is plenty of space, I grew up on a country that uses km, now I live in the US that uses miles, but it will take a long time to get used to it, therefore showing both simultaneously (e.g 10 mi / 16 km) would be perfect!4 votes -
Aceitar a sugestão de novas rotas
Que seja aceito a edição online do mapa, para percurso definido pelo usuário, e não somente pelo caminho que o app entende por melhor, pois há vias que, mesmo mais longas e com pedágios, são melhores que as usuais!

The Speed Limit Icon is difficult to be seen. It could be same size as the Actual Speed Icon size.
I'm 69 Y/O My car (Audi Q5) has a small Apple Car Play screen. The Speed Limit Icon (Square White and Black) is difficult to be seen. Its size is to small. It could have the same size of the Actual Speed Icon (Round Black and red). The map allouds to bear a little bit bigger the Sped Limit Icon. IS it possible to increase it? Thank you for your support.

Il serait interessant de pouvoir mettre plusieurs étapes sur un trajet. en effet cela permettait de faire des road trip en moto
Pour des sorties moto ou voiture de collection avec des cols par exemples ou des étapes de villages historiques. On pourrait partager le parcours entre amis et planifier sur le site web
