  1. Gas station service level

    Enable editors to add gas station type (self-service, full-service, or either) when adding or modifying a gas station.

    On the client side, users should be able to select a preference for self-service or full-service in Settings > Gas stations. In most areas of the US, users don't know the service type until they reach the station.

  3. Allow for combined speed/red light cameras on map edits

    Australia has combined speed and red-light cameras, so we need to be able to add this new type of camera.

  4. Center the elevation in the box

    When editing the elevation, currently the number in the elevation box is left justified. This puts it right next to the negative (-) sign making it look like it is a negative elevation.

    I recommend center justifying the number to make it more obvious what the actual number is.

  5. Allow addition of new traffic signal or stop sign where one did not previously exist.

    Allow editors to add a new traffic signal or stop sign. Allow alert similar to RR crossing sound. Set alert to expire 30-45 days after signal or stop sign is put into service.

  6. Issue tracker filter incorrectly showing drop down menu arrow direction

    In the issue tracker filter settings, currently the drop down arrows in the map issues filter settings for UR, PUR, MP and map suggestions are showing an up arrow when collapsed and a down arrow when expanded.

    However, in other best practice design scenarios, it should be the other way around. That is, when collapsed, show a down arrow so when you select it, the menu expands. Likewise when the menu is expanded, show an up arrow so when you select it, the menu collapses. This is done correctly in other dropdown menu options in WME

  7. Addition of danger on the road: Smoke

    Users should have the possibility to report a common danger in the road: Smoke. It can be from wildfires as described in another suggestion, however roads are not necessarily closed.
    We have dangers like "ice on road" or "snow", however those are never used in countries where winter never gets below 0°C (or is highly unlikely). On the contrary, every year there are fires causing road hazards with visibility dropping considerably.

  9. The Ability to add truck restricted routes so drivers do not get tickets.

    As a truck driver, there are routes that are restricted to NO truck traffic. I have received tickets because I was not aware. Late at night it would nice to know if route is restricted because sometimes you cannot see posted signs until it is too late. It is too difficult to safely turn a big truck around past that point...

  11. Emergency Closures and Events/accident reporting

    Allow users to add more than one section of road to a road closure.

    It would be good if emergency closures would show up in the app to influence driving directions, and if we could report closures longer than one section of road.

    I was driving somewhere on the weekend, and there'd been a fatal accident on the Highway at 2 am, but Waze still told me to drive using that section of the highway.

    When I looked the accident had been reported on the app hours before I left, and there were comments on the accident about what sections…

  18. Exempting some editors from waiting for changes to be applied to the map

    Hi .
    I don’t know if Waze can exempt some editors who dedicated their lives to editing from the 24-hour waiting period for changes.
    Several reasons support this idea:
    such as editors having limited time due to family and work commitments.
    Some actions require immediate attention, and exceptions could enhance map accuracy, accelerate change application, and impress users with faster updates, attracting new users.

    Your thoughts stemmed from adding a Gate to a mall, experiencing instant change app, prompting the idea of applying this efficiency to the entire map.

    thanks!

  19. I am the GIS Analsyt for Saluda County, SC and I am looking for a way to share my road centerline and address point databases with Waze.

    I just completed a readdressing project where our entire unincorporated area of our county was readdressed. I would like to be able to submit the current databases to Waze so that correct information is in the Waze maps. I can't find anywhere to do that.

  20. Add More Culture / Entertainment Subcategories

    It would be nice to have more subcategories for Culter/Entertainment venues. A couple of examples would be Bowling Alley and Arcade. When I look at bowling alleys in Waze they are flagged as the the main category, but I feel having a subcategory for them would help with users locating them.

    I don't think this is too much to ask when we have subcategories for Race Track and Theme Park which is significantly fewer in number.

    A list of culture/entertainment subcategories that come to mind that would be helpful:

    • Bowling Alley
    • Arcade
    • Mini Golf (Putt-Putt)
    • Escape Room
