Edit favorites on the map editor
Enable favorite editing in map editor. This would be an easier way to make include of several favorites or POIs help in planning a trip.
Ideally it would allow planning with historic traffic data (similar to Google Maps) allowing to establish the travel time between them and estimate the arrival time .
Alternatively the Waze can import the saved locations from Google Maps, so it should be possible to link the Waze has Google Maps account.

Possibility of planning the fastest route between many destination points. Possibility that delivery person from all kinds will enjoy it
Planning a trip to a large number of destinations, for example for delivery person..
at this time, can serch route for one destination and add 1 stop to the way.
My idea is that it will be possible to put a lots of destination points and waze will calculate the fastest route between all points.18 votes -
Improve WME editing capability on mobile phones
I can currently add or delete real-time closures in WME in Chrome on my mobile (Galaxy S20). I can't change turn permissions, for instance, as touching the turn arrow to be changed deselects the segment it's part of. Can we get more functionality of WME in Chrome on a mobile phone?

Livemap uses old Lat/Lon order
When entering a lat/lon pair as starting point or destination in Livemap, it must be entered as Lon,Lat. WME was updated to copy as Lat,Lon. Livemap should be updated to match.

Temporary real-time traffic regulations override
Police frequently implement temporary local traffic regulations, such as diverting vehicles through bus lanes or HOV lanes. On Waze, these segments are typically mapped with Time-Based Restrictions (TBRs) to prevent routing through them. However, these areas are usually pre-mapped. I propose creating a new entity within WME that can be toggled in real-time to override existing TBRs, allowing for more accurate routing based on live traffic conditions

Holiday based turn/traffic restrictions on Japan
Traffic/turn restrictions for holidays have not yet been implemented in Japan.
Please support Japanese national holidays.If Sunday becomes a national holiday, Monday falls under the holiday in lieu, etc. There are detailed rules. The dates that fall under holidays are listed in the following law
https://laws.e-gov.go.jp/law/323AC1000000178/Similar proposals outside of Japan have already been implemented and should be less burdensome.

Layer toggling keyboard shortcut for Hazards
There are some discrepancies between the shortcuts and the actual Layer menu when it comes to Hazards. Currently, there are shortcuts to toggle Speed cameras and Railroad crossings only.
However, there are other Hazards with more frequent instances on the map that could also benefit from keyboard shortcuts. In my opinion, a single toggle for the entire Hazards section would be sufficient. Nonetheless, I'd welcome additional individual toggles along with the general one.

Built in WME HN Number Increase Number for next HN Bubble
Often adding House Numbers in cities or suburbs there are many numbers for each street.
It would be great if you could easily have the next number go up by various increments.
Would like to have 1-9 keys be increase the HN by the value selected. So if you added 10010 and then press the 1 key the HN comes up as 10011. If you had pressed the 4 key then it would have been 10014.
Since some increments are often more than 9, there should also be a place to set an increment and then a hot key when…18 votes -
Height limitation of bridges
I think WME should have a bridge height segment. Some of the bridges, at least here in Finland, are really low and even a van is in danger of getting stuck on its roof. It would make driving easier.
With the same effort, it would certainly be great if the roads also got a possible weight restriction segment.

custom alerts
I would like to be able to place custom warnings in WME that come through to the app.
problem:
- certain tunnels see a lot of truckers or camper vans getting jammed because they are too large to enter.
- school area's getting dangerous when people who do not know the area are routed through due to a traffic jam somewhere else.Idea:
I imagine this like placing a speedcam in WME but then beeing able to fill in a message (with a set maximum of characters).
We could use those to put warnings in problematic areas, and these can…18 votes -
Facilitate the addition/editing of rivers, lakes and water cover
Drawing large rivers on the map, for example, is torture. Although there are scripts that "help" the task, Waze should add its own feature to add water covers, instead of the place editors as it is today.
My suggestion is that each type of water cover has its own type of editor. For example, to draw a river, the editor draws a line that follows the direction of the river and chooses the width, Waze then fills in smoothly, that is, with several "dots".
Another suggestion is the possibility of connecting aquatic elements, such as connecting the river to a…

Allow moving nodes inside Junction Boxes
Junction Boxes currently prevent moving the location of nodes inside them, which means that geometry edits often need JBs to be deleted and recreated.

Ability to submit PUR's outside of your editing area.
I would love to be able to submit PUR's for places outside of my editing area. As I sometimes see places that have incorrect data that needs to be updated but not always an editor in that area is aware. Rather than PM them on the forums it would be more efficent to just submit a PUR for that place. Currently you can only do it in your own unlocked Area..

Increase the four types of fuel limit to map editors
Map editors have only four types of fuel to select and due to this incompatible diesel types or GNV can not be searched in waze.

Change "Pedestrian Boardwalk" to "Pedestrian Walkway"
English WME should change "pedestrian boardwalk" to "pedestrian walkway". This attribute is used for pathways that are pedestrian-only, but most are not technically "boardwalks" (i.e. wooden walking paths).
