  1. Change sound for "Car on Shoulder" - This one is overused on Highways

    I'm listening to music travelling down the highway only to be interupted by the Ding sound on the alerts Sound for the notification of "Car on Shoulder" hazard. Which since this one is actually just abandoned cars, this one goes off every 5km or so.

    I need a way to be able to record my own sound for "Car on Shoulder" or some way to remove that Ding sound it makes.

    I really only like to hear the important hazards: Police, Object on Road, Traffic Jam, etc.

  2. Request for Inclusion of the Republic of Kosovo as a Sovereign State on Waze

    Dear Waze Team,

    I am reaching out to formally request that the Republic of Kosovo be recognized as a sovereign state on Waze, just as other independent countries are represented. As you may be aware, Kosovo declared independence in 2008 and has since been recognized by over 127 UN member states, including Israel.

    The exclusion of Kosovo as a separate state on Waze creates challenges for users, particularly in navigation, geolocation accuracy, and real-time traffic updates. This omission does not reflect the political reality and recognition of Kosovo as an independent country by many international institutions and governments.

    We kindly…

  3. Add Digital Wallet/E-Wallet as an option for Services Provided and Parking Lot payment methods

    I think it's high time we add Digital Wallet/E-Wallets as an accepted payment method alongside Credit Cards in Places and also as a Payment Method in Parking Lots. A lot of places now, at least in Malaysia, accepts the use of digital wallet QR codes for payment instead of Credit/Debit cards.

  5. Replying and closing UR should give editors an edit point

    Currently, when you close a User Report (UR), the count of resolved URs increases on the editor profile. However, there is no reward of an edit point.

    Editors spend vast amounts of time looking for, investigating, replying and managing the lifecycle of a UR. I propose that both replies to a UR and closing a UR should each give a single edit point.

    Given that Waze tracks the number of URs resolved, adding points retrospectively would also be appreciated. Though I understand UR replies couldn't be added retrospectively.

    The awarding of these edit points should still be subject to throttling…

  6. I want to put a warning icon like in partnership

    I would like to see the Waze Partnership-specific warning icons, which can currently only be installed on-site, made easier to install. For example, it would be useful to have a system where you can pull over and set it on the navigation screen, or a function where you can set it using the Waze Editor in your browser.

  7. Feed - Unique "Area" setting per feed type or "distance" sorting.

    I most often use the Solve Feeds to work User Reported issues across my managed area. While looking a those, I am inclined to work nearby surfaced MS and PUR. However those feeds greatly exceed the limit of items exposed.. As a result, the items in the feed are only the 500 most recent items, regardless of their proximity to where I am currently viewing. I'm not inclined to switch feeds and click though the 10 pages of items to get to the "Load more", and repeat that 5-10 times for the PUR feed, and then more than 50 times…

  8. Wildlife Warnings

    Living in Australia especially, there are many areas that are at high risk of wildlife on the roads. Whether this is Kangaroos, Wombats, Deer or Emu there are many animals that can be very dangerous for divers. I suggest that there are warnings that can be added that show up on the map for areas with lots of native animals that cross the road.

  13. Better WME ranking system

    It is very hard for newcomers in WME to be able to contribute as much as they wanted due to the ranking system that doesn't allow to do much at first. It is very hard to get to at least level 3 which allows to alter some segments in the driving area and it is almost impossible without hunting for missing POIs or stuff like that. There aren't always many editors with higher ranks and sometimes they can get overwhelmed by the editing tasks and opened map problems.
    There should be a better system in place that would allow newcomers…

  14. 2D Hazards

    I'm not sure if this sort of thing will be covered in Permanent Hazards development, but it would be very handy to be able to define an area polygon to which a hazard report would apply.
    To me, the obvious application would be for prolonged construction zones where roads remain open but users ought to be made aware of an issue ahead.
    How I see this working:
    An editor would draw a polygon over the affected area and then choose a hazard type and add an optional comment to the polygon. It should be possible to define schedules and an…

  15. Address localization

    lease allow localization of address field just as it is done in search results, so it would be possible to have "%{street} %{housenumber}" instead of "%{housenumber} %{street}" for some languages.

  16. Drive to Feature on Cartouche

    While editing the map I would like a separate layer so that I can make notes and pin it to areas of the map that I would like to visit. These online notes should only be viewable by the user who made the notes. It would also be necessesary to navigate to these Points of Interest and have the notes pop up so that pictures can be taken of the surrounding so that the Waze map can reflect real world situations out there on the road.

    The Waze notes layer (home computer) and the Android phone should be synced so…

  17. Color-coded according to speed in editor

    A feature that had been good when you are editing speed limits would be to go into a "Edit mode for the speed limit" just as the house number.
    That all roads would be color-coded according to speed. and roads with no speed would be gray, so you can easily see which roads have the limitation and which have not.

    Another thing that would be great is that you can put limits whereever on the road and not just at a crossing. Again, just as the house number.

  18. Vehicle restricted closures

    Now: the closures are for all vehicles.

    SUG: possibility of applying a closure for a certain type of vehicle and not for others, for example: closures only for taxis.

  19. Parking Lots: Show Payment Types only when needed

    Please consider showing the 11 payment types checkboxes only when the "Cost" dropdown has "Low", "Moderate" or "Expensive" selected.

    This will help you to have consistent information too: For example, what does it mean that a free parking log accepts Credit Cards as a payment type?
