If there is a delay in the tile build or the map is rolled back for some reason, please show a notification in the WME.

Issue Tracker: Stop defaulting to All Issues - remember last saved filter selected
If you don't have a Pinned Save Filter, Waze should remember the last Save Filter selected rather than reverting back to "All Issues".
If I'm working on a Saved Filter, and need to refresh, it's more than likely I want to continue working on that same filter afterwards.

School Zone excluded segment ID option
Currently, we can exclude based on road types, which in most cases is sufficient. However, there are times that we may need to exclude a segment that is the same road type in the school zone because of cross traffic.
For example, in the image below, the school zone is on a mH. I can exclude the FWY with no concerns, but the 2 yellow arrows point out some mH segments that I can't currently exclude. The issue is that if I am driving either of those routes, I will get a School Zone alert, and eventually a reduced SL,…

Having a stop sign feature on the app and WME
Have a stop sign callout and a stop appear on the app and for all levels a stop feature for certain nodes or end nodes (probably end nodes most commonly)

Enable zoom keyboard shortcuts (Shift + up/down) when Streetview is open
Zoom keyboard shortcuts (Shift + up/down) are not working when Streetview is open. Please bring them back :)
They were intentionally disabled apparently - see forum post for more info: https://www.waze.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=2362272

Fix the lane width and lane guidance interface
You have "Number of lanes" listed twice for two different things. 1) the number of lanes at the start of the segment (incoming used for lane width) and 2) number of lanes (outgoing used for lane guidance arrows).
Recommend having the lane width changed to "Incoming number of lanes" and lane guidance changed to "outgoing number of lanes"
Yes after you get used to the current configuration it can be figured out but it is never a good practice to have two different items with the same label on a single interface.
Also the Displayed lane guidance arrows are just…

Adding Traffic Lights to the Map
It would be very helpful if Waze displayed traffic lights on the map. This feature would allow drivers to better anticipate delays at intersections, adjust their speed smoothly, and avoid sudden braking or collisions. It would also improve the accuracy of travel time estimates and help Waze suggest alternative routes that avoid long red lights or heavy congestion. Additionally, showing traffic lights would assist drivers in timing their turns more effectively, reducing the chance of missing them due to unexpected stops or light changes.

Allow choice in HN street name
Hi
Certain streets have a different name or city depending of side.
It would be great to allow, when adding HNs, editors to specify what name we want to assigne to it when alternate bloc is filled.Thanks

Ability to hide or move individually each native issue tracker filter
Please provide the ability to hide or move down the list, individually, each WME provided Issue Tracker filter.
WME has 4 supplied Issue Tracker filters
All issues
Starred
Unread
Actionable URsThis request is for WME to have a Hide button next to each filter tracker so that we could hide it in the drop down list. Alternately, please provide us with the ability to move these filters down the list.
For those of us who have created custom filters, we may want those filters at the top of the list (especially if we have many filters) so we want…

Indonesia ETLE Camera
In Indonesia, all traffic enforcement cameras operate under one unified system: ETLE (Electronic Traffic Law Enforcement) Camera.
To ensure accuracy in WME, provide clarity on which camera type is valid, and avoid confusion among Indonesian editors, we'd like to request a dedicated Indonesia ETLE camera type that reflect the applicable traffic enforcement regulation for Indonesia.

Associate permanent hazards with a path
When using permanent hazards, they sometimes only apply to some of the traffic on a give segment. An example would be a freeway segment where oncoming traffic from one ramp, and exiting traffic from the freeway merge on a specific segment between on and off ramps. If we add the multiple lanes merging hazard, it will alert for both groups but also all traffic that continues on the freeway even though it does not impact them. Instead, I have it mapped on the on-ramp but not for exiting traffic to alert to this often challenging merge zone.

Include Permanent Hazard (PH) changes in segment history
Currently, when a Permanent Hazard (PH) is added or updated in a segment, no record is created in the segment's history.
Ideally, changes to their attributes should be tracked, but for now, recording when they are added or updated would be very helpful.

Counter for Chargers at a Charging Station
Please add a counter to charging station tab Chargers. Once you need to scroll (~7+ charging points), it's difficult to assess how many chargers there are. Example: this Tesla Supercharger: https://waze.com/nl/editor?env=row&lat=52.16064&lon=4.54912&zoomLevel=20&venues=2949642.29824096.27841780
Just something like this would suffice: https://i.postimg.cc/90z5LZ8z/afbeelding.png

Do not move my map somewhere else after an edit
Hi,
when editing from the feed (closing MP, UR), after saving WME moves to a random place where it thinks there are other UR I can solve. It is extremely annoying. When editing I save often because of various save bugs, and as soon as I saved it moves somewhere else and I cannot find where I was editing to finish the job.
Same problem when saving, if Waze thinks there is a problem it moves my map to where it thinks the problem is, and if it is a long road, it happens often that the road is offscreen.…27 votesHey!
Thank you very much for this great suggestion.
As we believe this will be solved with a release of related features, we added to our backlog to track and make sure it was solved.Best,

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

Make RPPs a bright pink
Change the colour of the RPP from a camouflaged dusky pink (same shade used to literally camouflage reconnaissance Spitfires in WWII) to a bright pink like #fa0584 to make it more visible in urban backgrounds.

Filter Segment Closures
It would be great to have the option to filter closures on a segment. e.g. Hide all finished by default, only display active closures, only display upcoming closures etc

Remember orientation when dragging Street View handle
When the Street View handle is dragged onto the map and subsequently moved again, the orientation snaps to north. It would be helpful to maintain the current heading so that when moving the handle along a street the heading doesn't have to be repeatedly rotated back parallel with the street.
