Making left side panel shorter with little tweak
I'd suggest to change "Edit house numbers" text to house icon and moving it before "Select entire street" text -> One row shorter side panel. Also, moving "View History" text next to road length field would shorten the panel by yet another row, there's plenty of space for it there. See https://ibb.co/b5gVSmb

Add "follow my route" for routes we know are faster than suggested.
Add "follow my route" for routes we know are faster than suggested. You can record the route from the suggested route, then compare analytics, eco, mileage at the end destination; and share a recommended route change.

Display locations where drivers often deviate from Waze directions
Locations where drivers frequently deviate from Waze directions may indicate mapping errors such as missing or incorrect turn restrictions, confusing turn instructions that drivers misunderstand and take a wrong turn, or poor routing where drivers know a better route than the one provided by Waze. It would be helpful for editors to have this data as an additional tool to detect possible locations for improvements to be made to the map.

A desktop app for WME
We have a webapp as our WME. But, at least in my experience, it is very buggy sometimes and consumes lots of RAM. I believe there should be a desktop app (mind you, not just a iframe in a exe, but a quality app) since it would be faster, snappier and easier. Regarding extensions -- I think they should be a part of the WME, not just a addon. It simply doesn't make sense to have to install dozends of extensions to have a better environment if it could be integrated.

Add residual kilometers for italian "safety tutor" speedtrap on Android Auto
Hello! In Italy we have highways with "safety tutor", a speedtrap system which calculate average travel time. In Waze phone mode there's a small banner that indicates the remaining kilometers to exit the area, this feature is not available in Android Auto. Whyyy?? It's so useful :)
Thanks, love you guys!

[QOL] Have Closure End Date Auto Update to Not Be Earlier Than Start Date
When setting a closure for the next day, for example, I have to update the start and end date even though the end date should update automatically to prevent an error in the data.
Is it not possible to set an event to run after the Start field losses focus to update the End date field to update to match the Start date field if the end date is before the Start date?

Add apple Music on Android
So I use Apple Music on my Samsung s22 Ultra which is an android device (I can't imagine that I'm the only person who dose this). So integration with Apple music on Android would be amazing

Numero de portas sem a necessidade de nome na rua.
Talvez liberar a possibilidade de colocar numero de porta sem a necessidade de nome na rua, como por exemplo as ruas de acesso as casa muitas vezes não tem nome dai não tem como adicionar numero

WME - Dynamic Speed Camera (Icon).
Hi.
It would be a nice touch to add a - Dynamic Speed Camera (Icon), so whatever the user inputs in the Speed Value Box, it will reflect the same on the Icon. I feel this would help new users who think every Speed Camera is (30) but in reality it can be something else.
Thanks!

Hazard (Speed bump)
In France (I don't know if other countries practice the same) we are faced with situations where speed bumps cover an entire intersection. Knowing that the current configuration only allows two-way signaling, I asked myself the question if we could not have the possibility of having the choice on a crossing and cross, a T crossing, a two-way crossing, A >B, B>A. Because if my deduction is correct today to cover such crossings we must put two Hazards so that the announcement is made from all directions of traffic.

Add to all places the field “Located in venue”
The places of the Category "Charging Station" have the field “Located in venue”. The same field should be added to public places of other categories.

Multiple sets of hours
Add the capability for editors to add multiple sets of hours for an establishment. This feature would be especially beneficial for banks and pharmacies. At banks, ATMs are often open 24/7, while human tellers, consultants, notaries, and other banking personnel are not at banks 24/7. At pharmacies, the convenience store and the pharmacy itself mostly have different hours. Finally, there are some establishments with delivery hours and/or drive-thru hours that differ from the establishment's standard operating hours.
6 votesGreat thinking! We’ll share with the team; they’re always interested in new feature ideas.

Better history for place update
Hey,
in place edit history, it would be nice to have more details on PUR : the only status is accepted or rejected.
Maybe it is not easy to tell what photo was refused or a refused change name, but it would be nice to know what was the updated fields (was it about adding or removing a photo, rename the venue).by kpouer

Remove Two-Way Segments
Two-way segments are very rarely necessary and are very often overused by map editors to oversimplify maps. Even the smallest "two-way roads" have at least one lane dedicated to each of the two directions. Having each segment representing a single roadway will permit maps and navigation that are more intuitive to the users of the app, and perhaps help avoid the tendency of editors to try to combine separate roadways into one segment.
6 votesThanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

Link points POI to an Area POI
Hi guys,
The idea is to link points POI to a Area POI.
For example, linking stores in a Mall or linking a company office in a building.
It's also to avoid this kind of editions : https://www.waze.com/editor?env=row&lon ... 157&zoom=6.
I think this will help editors to determinate which stores or companies are present in a Mall/building and help user to use the right entry to go to shopping or working.
It will be a plus if you can also link, a point POI entry on an Area POI entry.by Ardillon42

The work around this topic is related to a bigger changes and improvements in the WME which were not prioritise.
Therefore, this is currently not planned.

Enable Undo after Save
It happened to me a couple of times. I deleted and element, clicked Save, and then understood it wasn't the element I meant to delete.
It would be great to enable undo changes that have been just saved.
