  1. Optimize Road Shield Display on all Live Map Zoom Levels

    Different zoom levels of Livemap appears to display road shields differently some of the "higher" zoom levels shows so many shields that it is distracting and does not look polished. All zoom levels should be optimized to group shields so that the map isn't littered with shields.

    Please see example screenshots

  2. Mark segments as "slip lanes" that delay voice instructions

    At the moment, ramp segments generally delay voice instructions until you have merged or turned onto the segments at the end of the ramp, such as a freeway or highway.

    Australia and some other countries utilise "slip lanes" at some intersections, which is basically a left turn (for countries that drive on the left) that does not use the main intersection.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slip_lane

    When a slip lane is mapped on Waze, we usually implement the turn instruction where the driver enters the slip lane, as that is where they need to be told to turn. However, this can mean that Waze…

  3. A maioria das cidade do Brasil tem diversos QUEBRA-MOLAS que não são padronizados, muito menos sinalizados. Sugiro notificação para eles

    A maioria das cidades do Brasil tem diversos QUEBRA-MOLAS que não são padronizados, muito menos sinalizados. Levando uma infinidade de transtornos aos condutores, seja danificando o veiculo, seja causando até um possível acidente, caso o veiculo venha em velocidade e ao passar por esse mesmo quebra-molas venha perder o controle causando assim um acidente, que pode ser leve ou fatal

  4. Change the road type to "Under Construction"

    Enter the road type "Under Construction" instead of using other road types to consider segments under construction.

  5. Place allowed for pets

    For families who take their pets to other places, it is interesting to know whether or not the place accepts pets.

  6. Seaarching on crossings

    By long streets, it is easier to place two street names in the searching box so you can find direct the correct crossing, like it is possible in Google Maps

  7. Ability to create an Update Request on a Permanent Hazard segment

    AS a Waze Editor Level 2, I'd like to be able to propose Update Requests on segments of any lock level that have a permanent hazzard like a speed bump. Actually it is not able to be done.

  8. Push questions to communicate with drivers

    A suggestion to enable Push questions (PQ’s) to communicate with drivers in order to solve map problems
    I thought it would be really great if Area managers would be able to send PQ’s to drivers in order to get their help in resolving map problems.
    For example:
    • If I get a UR (in an area with low traffic) suggesting that a right turn isn’t enabled anymore and I want to verify this I might need to wait a long time until someone else will send an additional UR.
    • Or if a road is suspected to be closed and…

  9. Add a "Map problems in my areas" list in the editor

    It's time wasting to look for map problems in my areas. It would be easier if they could be found in a list, so I could use more time to correct the map, and less looking for problems

  10. Metric system on new connections

    Hi,
    Can you add that the metric system is automatically set up according to the country to which we are connected?
    Because there are a lot of L1 in France who change the speed limits of entire districts / cities and put 50 mph ... instead of 50 km/h ... (a difference of 30 km/h ...)

    Take care and thanks for all :)

  11. Auto set checkboxes "No street" and "No city"

    Remove the "No street" and "No city" boxes by automatically setting the segments with the flag active if the name and/or city is not entered and vice versa.

  13. Re-enable addition of red light cameras

    The county I live in has installed new red light cameras on one of the parkways that runs through it. This parkway has a number of at-grade crossings, thus the installation of the red light cameras. I would have outlined/identified these cameras if I were able to, so as to warn others of their existence. Unfortunately, it seems that this option has been removed. Please bring it back so I may warn others of these cameras. Thank you.

  14. Retorno do recurso Reportar radar

    Solicito o retorno do recurso “Reportar radar” todo dia as autoridades instalam novos radares no Brasil todo e nos usuários somos surpreendidos com a multa em casa. Não acho justo uma ferramenta tão rica ser desprezada pelos seus editores.
    A todo momento um susto!!!!

    Sugiro a volta do recurso imediatamente.

  16. Editing rank on a per-server or per-polygon basis

    Waze is a worldwide service with global user permissions, but often travelling editors will do work in another area, or editors will take on area management roles in multiple countries. This can lead to disagreement about an editor's capabilities between different management groups in self-managed countries which can hamper a user's ability to get promoted. I would like to propose that it be possible to grant a user enhanced rank in certain areas only instead of globally. This could be tied to the server (environment), or better to a polygon much like we define Area Management areas today.

  17. Add permanent user based Hazard markers to the map (to assist when local authorities don't flag))

    I came up with this idea after getting incredibly tired of flagging a long term roadworks hazard that's turned a two-way piece of road into to automated stop light controlled one-way travel. That fact that none of the road authorities here in NSW, Australia, who can tag such things (such as the NSW TMC) still have not after some 6 months (as compared to recently flagging another identical set of long term roadworks in another area I travel through). This has prompted me (thanks to another member's suggestion) to post the idea of the idea of allowing users (maybe more…

  18. Improve ability to add pictures to places

    Currently when you're in the app you please "places" and the first thing you must do is take a picture of the new place you wish to add. One feature i'd love is if you had the option to add pictures from your camera roll instead cos sometimes its rather difficult in the moment to add all these things.

    Another thing is (maybe I should make a separate post about it) but right now there is no way to add photos through WME on desktop.. It would be really good if we could change that. If you're worried about spam…

  19. Distance to overtaking section (Dual lane) on "A" Roads

    Marked on Maps and audio description saying Distance to Overtaking Zone. This would avoid numerous accidents knowing that if you wait a short period of time you can overtake safely rather than risking overtaking in the face of oncoming traffic.
