Markers for Emergency Service Stations
An awesome addition to the waze map editor would be the addition of emergency service station markers and permanent building markers / icons with two types for example:
Emergency tap (single tap on any of the icons will add it to your route)
- Hospitals (Marked with a red and white "H")
- Police Stations (Marked with a house shape outline & a badge inside)
- Fire Stations (Marked with a house shape outline & Fire Axe or fire truck inside)
Passive Icons
- Schools (that have a highlighted zone area around them when route passes though and an alert…11 votes -
Allow to drag a node of a segment with closure
Dragging of a node is not allowed when the node is of a segment with closure on it, although the ID of the segment that includes the closure does not change. It is suggested to allow it.
As a temporary solution, it is possible to delete the closure, and then drag the node, and then reenter the closure (but still the closure is removed for the time it takes to complete the change).11 votes -
Multiple opening hours per day
Having the possibility to enter multiple opening hours for each day.
Some shops are open from e.g. 09:00 to 12:00 and 14:00 to 18:00. Currently you have to enter each of those times for each day seperately.11 votes -
Show lanes configuration even if not in editable area
The lanes tab contains the number of lanes and the lanes associated to each turn, including far turns. This is necessairy for adding lanes but also for ckecking them them.
If an editor has no permission to edit lanes on a segment, he only sees the total number of lanes and the lane configuration as a whole.
This also happens when the segment is not inside one's editable area.The problem is, this way it's not possible for editors to discuss or check a certain lane configuration together if this is outside of the editable area.
So please show the…

The type of way (preferred / unfavorable / neutral) now it does not appear anymore
The type of via appeared and now it does not appear anymore, even if the editor did not have access to edit this information it appeared on the screen, me and some friends here liked this information because it helped new users to better understand why they did not have access to edition. Because only levels 4 above appear. Could you go back?

Allow photo evidence of map errors
Allow photo evidence of map errors.
Sometimes trying to explain what error happened while driving is difficult to upload (while driving) and difficult to explain (after the fact) but allowing someone to upload a photo of the map when it is performing an error is much easier. It’s 2024. Why isn’t this a thing yet?

Acceptance of adding a road closure without the need to manually specify the "event"
I often handle the addition and removal of road closures via phone, but when I enter the dates, I am required to specify the type of event for it to be accepted. I believe it would be better to make the option more seamless, so that if "Add" is clicked, the road closure is added. If there is an event, I will certainly add it, but there’s no need to force me to select the "None" option just to proceed with the addition.

http://waze.uservoice.com/forums/59225-cartouche-map-editor-and-waze-com-website redirect back here, so submitting here.

WME frontend should show backend errors
Hi,
when saving, if the backend fails, it returns a message. But often they are not localized, and in that case we get a generic
"Please try again later" which is useless because in most case the problem will not solve and the only solution is to cancel all edits.
Here is a list of messages that are not localized and need to be displayed (maybe not exactly in the same form, but at least do not tell the user to try again if it is impossible that it works.Invalid street 0 was set for venue ID -100

Thank you very much for this great suggestion.
It was added to our backlog to try and see the possibility to implement it.Please note there is no ETA for it yet.

Alternative house number
Often the house numbers are not exactly in order. As, for example, there was an update in the street number and some houses remain in the old number. Or even, the same street has the same number in different neighborhoods.
With this, Waze could allow alternative numbers which are house numbers that are not following the "correct" numerical order. Still, it could allow putting letters in the numbering, like "505 A", "505 B"...10 votes -

ניווט ומיפוי גשרים
אהלן, אני איתי בוקעי, ולפני כחודש עלה לי רעיון שיכול בעיניי לעזור לנהגי משאיות וגררים גדולים, הרעיון הוא שכאשר אתה מתחיל את הנסיעה או מוריד את האפליקציה, ומכניס בקטגוריה של כלי רכב: משאית או כלי רכב גדול מאוד אחר, הוא גם יכניס את גובה הרכב שלו.
וכל פעם שהרכב ייתקרב לגשר יודיעו לו באפליקציה על התקרבות לגשר, ואת הגובה של הגשר, ואם אפילו אפשר לבדוק מתחת לאיזה גשרים הוא לא יכול לעבור ובככה לחסוך הרבה בעיות נהיגה ובנוסף להעיר את המודעות של נהגים אלה לגובה רכבם, במידה ושכחו להוריד את המנוף או נוסעים עם חלק מהרכב מורם, ובכך אני מקווה…10 votes -
Topes en Mexico
Debería existir la opción de agregar los topes en todos los estados de México, ya que cuando es de noche o llueve estos no se distinguen, ya que muchos no están pintados como advertencia de reducción e velocidad.

Please add traffic on map when not navigating so that we can see traffic like Google maps does.
Please add traffic onto map when not navigating so that we can see traffic congestion like Google maps does. I tend to just open Waze for traffic issues and police and hazards when driving to work everyday because I don’t need to navigate to work normally.

Stop automatic editing over all recordings
About two months ago a change was made so that every recorded segment is automatically edited by a bot (admin). It is suggested to cancel this change. This will make it easier to recognize a recoding, especially when scripts are used which make it difficult to notice the segment's color. A recording was previously recognized by having just a "created" line and without an "edited" line. We now cannot be sure whether the segment was edited between its creation and the admin edit, and we have to open the segment history or stop the scripts which color the segments.

Parking blue zone
In the Netherlands, but also in other countries, there are parking spaces that you can use for a certain period of time (eg for a maximum time). Blue zone parking spaces. I would like to have an option for this in WME so that it can be checked.
If more information is needed, please let me know.

Clear direction cache when WME edits are made
Often when WME edits are made affecting routing to an address, the Wazer still gets the same incorrect routing because the old data is cached. Then editors get another UR because the Wazer thinks the changes were never made, and we have to explain how to clear the incorrect data from the cache. That can be a problem for those who are technologically-challenged. Not to mention time-consuming for editors who have to walk them through it, sometimes exchanging multiple messages with the Wazer. Can Wazedev find a way to automatically clear incorrect data from the cache when edits have been…
