Make road hazard and police icons bigger while using apple carplay
While using apple CarPlay in a 2020 Silverado, the road hazard and police icons are tiny little dots, while the restaurant and other less important icons are huge. Please make the icons for road hazards bigger.

Enter an area place with Wicket polygon
It is suggested to add a possibility to enter a polygon with Wicket format that will draw an area place according to that input (unsaved). It will be helpful for definition of an updated area for an AM.

Differentiate between area map comments and point comments
It would be great if it would be made possible to select to only see point map comments and/or area map comments.
Area map comments are quite intrusive, leading to a lot of editors switching off the comment layer. As a result they sometimes miss useful information and make unnecessary edits.
If you can choose to only see one type of comment, that would be very helpful.

Editor Rank Level is not fair
Waze's point rewards system for editors is unfair and does not promote the entry of new editors or even the permanence of newcomers.
From Level 1 to Level 2 - Require 3000 map edits
From Level 2 to Level 3 - Require 25000 map editsIt´s not feasible for a normal person using just WME without bath scripts
this will result in a community that does not renew itself.
It will drive away new editors and weaken the communityplease review this !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Routes in a Junction Box should have different gradients of colors
When selecting a segment entering a Junction Box all possible routes are shown with a green color when the route is valid and red when it is invalid/forbidden. These routes can be mixed and sharing the same segment. To see which segments belong to specific routes the editor must hover the mouse pointer to the exiting arrow. The idea here is to be able to visualize without doubt each route (for instance, when sharing the JB screenshot)

Integrate camper vans into parking spaces
I would like to have the possibility to integrate mobile homes into parking spaces. But also to offer the possibility when parking spaces are only allowed for motorhomes.

Exit numbers on freeways that change the voice instruction
In some countries, including here in Australia, freeway exits often have exit numbers on the signs. Currently, we include these in the ramp segment's name. This means that, for example, a voice instruction may sound like this:
"In 1 kilometre, exit to the left onto Exit 24: C407 - Clyde Road to Berwick"
You can see how the word "exit" is repeated. If we could mark exit numbers on the map, then the voice instruction could give a more natural sounding sentence, for example:
"In 1 kilometre, take exit 24 on the left onto C407 - Clyde Road to Berwick"

Photos in URs
Enable Wazers to add photo and video attachments to their URs from the phone or live map. Photos of intersections would enable editors to solve problems more quickly, especially in rural areas where street view is sparse.
Currently, some northeastern states let users send media via email, including the editor’s username in the subject line. This alternative would be easier for users and editors.
Ideally, if a user sends inappropriate media, then the editor can forward it to their RC in-app and have them review. Then, the RC could decide next steps.
Under this system, if a photo/video has illegal…

Customize "Services" checkboxes by Category
Most Places have a set of checkboxes under Additional Information that are relevant for restaurants, but are just silly for almost any other Category. It should be possible to provide relevant services that are different based on the Category of the Place. This will enhance the information saved for most non-restaurant Places and make WME (and Waze) more relevant.

Traffic data layers in WME for advanced editors
It would be useful for editors investigating routing issues and making mapping decisions to have a configurable traffic data layer in WME that could show a variety of information collected from drivers. This would include statistics such as the average number of Wazers driving on the segment per day, speed percentiles for drivers on the segment, the "freeflow" speed that Waze is using in routing, and the amount of times that the routing server has used the segment. It would also be useful for editors to be able to see locations where the app consistently has trouble snapping drivers to…

Inclusão de "Quebra-Mola", também conhecido como Lombada ou ondulação transversal
Tão ruim quanto um "Pardal" eletrônico são os quebra-molas pela via, muita das vezes sem identificação e sinalização. Se houvesse a opção de inserir esses perigos nas vias no Waze seria excelente para segurança e conforto dos motoristas.

Parking along with the Parking area code and Charging info would be helpful
Showing the nearest Parking close to destination is Cool, would be good to also see the Parking area code and if that has Charging points (wherever applicable) -
I am in Stockholm, I usually have to struggle understanding the parking code, for which I can check the charges before I travel.
With Electric cars becoming more popular, it would be great to have the Parking code combined with a Mark highlighting if cars can be charged.
Example Stockholm P - which allows free charging or Mer or Incharge which are paid. This info will be really helpful.
That way can…5 votes -
Incluir alerta de quebra-molas. Hoje não temos como alertar sobre a existência de quebra-molas nas vias urbanas ou rodovias.
Em várias vias temos construções de quebra-molas pelas prefeituras e mesmo em rodovias, onde este pode provocar acidentes caso o motorista não saiba da sua existência. Hoje não temos como incluir alerta de quebra-molas, o que é um obstáculo muito importante de dar ciência ao motorista.

Oval roundabouts
Hi,
Is it possible to draw a roundabout not only in the horizontal or vertical oval direction, but in all directions?
If you have a roundabout that runs from northeast to southwest oval, you can currently only mark it like this by hand.

Make route color in Apple CarPlay adjustable
I have a problem with the contrast of the map when using Apple CarPlay. On my iPhone the contrast is excellent and the route I have to follow is easy to distinguish from the rest on the map.
On the display in the car, the contrast between the route to be followed and the other map elements appears to be very poor. This means you have to pay close attention to which line on the map is your route. As a result, attention is diverted too much from the road.
My proposal is to make the colors of the route…5 votes -
Why did you get rid of the 'animals' on the side of the road?

Improvement for lanes
I am attaching a suggestion here to allow adding lanes in node that refer to a "far turn". Implementing this suggestion will solve all the problems of setting lanes (including extreme complicated junctions, H and # junctions) without the need for any heuristics! It will work at any junctions even if it is extremely complex with many auxiliary segments.
In the WME:
When defining lanes to a segment, turns are automatically displayed for the end of the segment with the segment names to which they refer.
My suggestion is to add an option for adding to lanes a "far turns".…5 votes -
"View in Street View" button for places
Added "View in Street View" button for places, similar to what update requests have.
This request is motivated by the fact that, at times, Street View is not aligned with the segments and you have to go hunting for the point where it is available.4 votes -
