Road height restriction.
To display road height restrictions for all tp yoe of vehicles. Some waze users does not select type of vehicle. At certain road, there are height restriction, if there is a notification when waze navigate trhough fastest routes it would be helpful for drivers.

add deny last modifications on edits and lock user liké first 10 edits
When we made modifications, add the ability to remove the edit, for exemple, an editor that does'nt came for a while doesn't know about new editing rules and made errors, if another find it, he could cancel the change, if there is more than 10% of the last 100 edit are refusée, then the user should need to pass 10 new validation before auto submitting...
That just need to be able on the 100 last updates or 30 last days25 votes -
A map problem for a suspected closed venue
Many venues that are closed remain in the WME and become WME garbage. During the years these "garbage venues" are growing in number, and the editors do not pay attention to them.
I suggest that there will be a new map problem that will pop up when a venue was not a destination of any navigation for a year or two. If the MP is closed without deleting the venue, it will reset the time for that venue (as though it was a navigation destination).25 votes -
New Description for Retirement/Nursing Homes
When editing the map and adding/editing places, it would be helpful if we could have a category for Nursing/Retirement Homes and Senior Centers. The number of seniors continues to grow, and having this category available would be a nice addition.

Disable lane guidance on some intersections
It would be great to disable lane guidance on some intersections, so the user will not view the next lane guidance until he cross the intersection.

School zones variable speed limit
Most of our speed zones in province of Quebec are variable in time of day, day of week and month of year. Do you think you could add this feature so it represents the actual speed limit in real time.
In a regular 50km/h residential zone, the school zone is normally active from 7 to 17, monday to friday, september to july.25 votes -
Inclusion of speed bumps/speed bumps
The inclusion of speed bumps on the map will be very important.

Vitrual Lanes
There are many places where Lanes go one or two junctions back (H junctions for example). The editor should allow to define lanes that are not limited to the turns at the end of this segment:
Real example:
We have 3 lanes. The left lane is loaded for 1 KM. In that 1 KM there are 4 junctions ( right turns allowed).It would be nice to be able to define 1 lane for Left turn, one for going Straight Ahead, and one for Straight Ahead or Right.And be able to do this for all 5 segments.

Tell us if the reporter closes their own report
(Copied from https://www.waze.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1525&t=228417)
Please tell us if the reporter has closed their own UR (don't need to know their username).
Quite often a UR is closed by an editor, and it gives their username in the email and closed UR. The problem is we aren't told if this is just some random editor, or the reporter themselves.
It annoys me when an editors closes URs without comment, as it goes against etiquette, but I wouldn't be so bothered if I knew it was the original reporter. If it wasn't the original reporter, then we could follow up with the…

Modify the display when showing history of Turn Guidance
When checking the history of changes to turn guidance, the side panel is too narrow to display the Turn Guidance image (both before and after images)
The box for displaying the arrow takes up half the width (although the proportions are consistent with how its displayed) we don't need that much space used when checking the history.I am not sure what other changes might be possible, maybe also providing the text fields as text (it would allow us to see if the change was with information in the text field.

Allow editing TBR of segments covered by Junction Boxes
If a segment is fully or partially covered with a JB, we cannot add, remove or modify time-base restrictions for it. The only way to do that today is to delete JB, to edit TBR, and then to create JB anew. This limitation seems excessive.

Choosing the Route Type (Economic, Fast, or Safe)
Today, navigation primarily prioritizes the shortest estimated travel time, but the fastest option isn't always the most suitable for the moment.
Each driver has different needs depending on the time of day, context, and purpose of the trip.
Proposal:
Allow the user to choose the route type before starting navigation:
1- Fast Route (default)
Total focus on the shortest estimated time. Maintains the current model.
2- Economy Route
Prioritizes constant flow. Reduces "stop and go". May suggest avoiding tolls. Ideal for long trips or cost reduction.
3- Safe Route
Prioritizes avenues and main roads. Avoids back streets and low-traffic areas.…

Drawing Major Event Polygon should not select Hazards and cease drawing
While drawing a major event polygon (specific area) should you click near a hazard the polygon drawing stops and you need to start from scratch. Polygons are complex and having to start from scratch is time consuming and frustrating. Drawing other polygons such as Place area or Map Note allows you to continue to draw a polygon.
Hazards are increasing particularly with traffic lights and this issue frequently occurs. You shouldn't need to turn of map layers to simply draw an event polygon.Video here of showing behaviour when drawing a event polygon vs map note or area place.

Allow sending Update Requests closing message when the map update succeeds
Send the UR closing message to the user when the map really gets updated (contains all changes up to the UR "closing" time).
Some things may get fixed immediately (by adding a closure or updating a place), most things require a map update. That means that we always have to write stuff like "in few days/after the next map update, the problem will be fixed".
Maybe a third button like this:
"Mark as Solved"
"Solve on map update" <-
"Mark as not identified"When the second button gets clicked a form opens when I can write a message to the…

Update UR Categories the same as the App
Would like to match app problem descriptions with those presented in WME URs.
For example: UR's that come in for 'Wrong Driving Directions' (what the App says)
Show in WME as 'Improper / Poor navigation instruction'Having that changed to 'Wrong Driving Directions' will help with editors looking at responses and what to select for a default/1st response to a user.

Remove false city names from UK WME database
Following the mass import of data for 3 ad campaigns (McDonald's, M&S, Aldi) by the Ads / Geo-ops teams the UK map is now littered with false or incorrect city names. These must be removed from the map immediately as they are NOT city names and should not exist.
The UK Champs have asked privately for this to be done but for some reason this request needs to be public.
This is NOT a change to UK mapping, this is simply following common sense that Counties should never be used as a city name and fake city names should not…

Enforce better minimum segment lengths
WME currently allows segment lengths down to 1 m. However, editors are told that Waze will not measure traffic speeds accurately over such short segments and that mapping them could degrade the end-user experience. Different regions may have different recommendations for minimum segment length, but if anybody knows the best minimum length, it should be Waze itself. If Waze will not function properly with extremely short segment lengths, then WME should not allow them.

Temporary downgrade of own editor level
I’d like to suggest in the WME a switch (perhaps in the user control panel) for downgrading the own editor level.
For example:
If I’m a level 5 Editor, but only want to edit simple streets which are only on level 1, i can switch my own editor level to something lower than 5 for this action. This would prevent myself for accidental editing more important street e.g. highways.
Compare this with an account in the IT… Even if I am an administrator… I shouldn’t be logged in always as an admin but just as a normal user with rights…24 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.

Multilingual street names
Add the capability to add translations to street names so people who speak different/foreign languages can use the map. EX: In Israel, Google Maps has Anglicized street names, while Waze does not. As a result, the English-speaking voice in Waze cannot recite street names in Waze.
This feature would be of great use in NYC and other cities where there are plenty of ESL speakers and people who have very limited understandings of English. Spanish would be a great language to start with.
