Don't detour off tolled highway and back on to save a minute
This morning waze thought it could save us a minute by directing us to exit the tolled highway. Take some back streets and then put us back on the same tolled highway. It didn't save us time but did cost us twice the amount for the trip.
Waze should not detour off and on tolled roads for insignificant time saving.

railroad track warnings
Enable the ability to turn off railroad track warnings - we have too many in my local drives. I use Google Maps because of this.

Add the option for wrong speed on the map issue button.
A lot for UR are made for a wrong speed limit. It would me useful if the driver could report a wrong speed limit with the proper button, under the "Map Issue" button in the report section. This addition could reduce significantly the time between the report and the map update, because a lot of time the map issue are send but not actively followed by the reporter, the editor remains with no clue about what the UR is about.

Crisis Shelters listed in a side column
Since we have been able to create and push [crisis] shelter pins on our own, managing them has proven to be a challenge.
What I would like to see is a sub category for "Shelters" in say the Events side panel for where we can have filters (like within other WME side panels) that would allow us to show/filter through what's open, what's closed and be able to click through to that location to turn it off/on
We now have a good list of past shelter centres, which are often the same during the next emergency, so having this filterable…

Do not automatically re-add a deleted GeoClosure RTC
Once a GeoClosure RTC is deleted, it should not be automatically re-added to the map.
1) It interferes with adding the actual RTC, where it will be automatically re-added during the process of adding the actual RTC which most of the time involve the painstaking process of selecting many segments, only to get hit with a "overlapping time" error.
2) Occasional issue of an inaccurate RTC reported, and is being removed by an editor with on-the-ground knowledge. Only L5 and SM+ are able to add RTCs in Malaysia, surely these editors are more trustworthy on the ground than users who…

€ per minute saved for highway route with tolls
I find myself always going against Waze’s route on my daily commute, because it suggests taking the highway right at the start of the journey, instead of going a bit by the main road until the next city and then joining the highway. This happens because the highway is the fastest route, but the other option is just 4 min extra time in the morning and saves 2 euros in tolls which is half the cost of the journey, if I would take the 100% highway route.
There could be a feature, where I could say how much 1euro should…3 votes -
Avoid toll roads
I have “avoid toll roads” enabled but Waze still includes them. It’d be great if I could “drag” my route and save it as my preferred route.

Add sublayers to Task layer
Please add sublayers to the Task chart layer in WME, just loike there are for almost all other chart layers. Besides bringing it in line with other layers, it will also save editors click, because instead of going all the way to filtering in the Review menu, they can just simply flick it off in the layers menu.
It would look something like this: https://i.postimg.cc/BvpqBXQk/Task-layers.png

Warn editors before hitting the daily proposal limit instead of failing on save
Currently, Level 1 editors are limited to submitting 10 edit proposals per day. However, the editor UI does not indicate when this daily quota has been exhausted.
As a result, an editor can continue selecting locked segments, making extensive adjustments, and editing attributes—only to receive an error ("Editors are only allowed 10 proposals per day") when finally attempting to save. All of that un-submittable work is then essentially lost or blocked.
Suggested improvements:
Visible Counter / Indicator: Display a counter in the WME interface showing remaining proposals for the current 24-hour window (e.g., "Proposals remaining today: X/10").
Proactive Warning: When…

Dynamic "Emergency Vehicle Approaching" Highway Alert
A crowd sourced, real time alert system designed specifically for high speed corridors (highways/freeways) that warns drivers to clear a lane before an approaching emergency vehicle (EV) reaches them.
How It Works:
Initial Report (The First Trigger)
A driver on a highway taps Report > Hazard > Emergency Vehicle Approaching.
To minimize distraction, this can be triggered via Voice Control.
Direction and Speed Tracking
Waze tags the report with the reporter's direction of travel and GPS coordinates.
Waze's backend uses real time traffic flow data to project the EV's probable direction and speed along the highway stretch.
Verification and Cascading…3 votes -
Master chief line performances and lines
Not sure what this category nor where to put this. But i absolutely hate when master cheif calls me a soldier. Im uniquely from a position like him. Its SAILOR, SHIPMATE, MARINE, DEVIL, DEVILDOG. NOT SOLDIER! THATS ARMY! Everyone Master cheif worked with was MARINES and Sailors. I absolutely love that yall changed some lines around like him talking about the Covenant, there was some cool *** lines like "finish the fight" but that should be like on the longer or around when u have to do like 2+ back to back turns, or if your getting off the freeway…

Suggestion for improvement: Voice notification when entering a city
Hi, everyone!
Recently, while traveling, I found myself missing a feature that I think could be very useful in Waze: a voice notification when entering a city.
The idea is that, when crossing a city boundary while navigating, Waze would announce something like: “Welcome to [city name]!”
This would be especially useful on highway trips, since many cities don’t have visible or well-placed identification signs, making it hard to know exactly when we’re entering or passing through a city.
In addition to making the trip more informative, this feature would help drivers better orient themselves along the route without having…

Actual scale option for map viewing
One improvement I think would be worth implementing in Waze is offering a true-to-scale map view option, in addition to the current zoom feature.
In some situations, especially when driving within cities, I find that the map is zoomed out too far, making it difficult to see the details of roads, intersections, and nearby access points. This can make navigation less intuitive, especially in areas with many streets close together.
My suggestion would be to allow users to choose between the current view, with adjustable zoom, and a true-to-scale mode, which would maintain a more accurate representation of distances and…

Verbesserungsvorschlag: Geschwindigkeitsbegrenzungen in Waze größer anzeigen
Liebes Waze-Team,
ich möchte vorschlagen, die Anzeige der Geschwindigkeitsbegrenzungen (Temposchilder) in der Waze-App zu vergrößern.
Die derzeitigen Schilder mit den zulässigen Höchstgeschwindigkeiten sind relativ klein und dadurch während der Navigation nicht immer gut erkennbar.
Es wäre sehr hilfreich, wenn man die Größe der Temposchilder individuell einstellen könnte, beispielsweise über eine Option in den Einstellungen. Dadurch könnten die angezeigten Geschwindigkeiten schneller und einfacher erkannt werden.
Besonders bei der Nutzung von Apple CarPlay wäre eine größere Darstellung sehr wünschenswert.
Vielen Dank für die Prüfung meines Verbesserungsvorschlags!
Freundliche Grüße

Feature Request – Increase the 10-Change Limit for “Suggest an Edit”
Background
Currently, Waze Map Editors can use the “Suggest an Edit” feature to propose changes to a segment that is locked at a higher level or otherwise outside their editing permissions. These suggestions can then be reviewed by an editor with the appropriate permissions, who can approve or reject the proposed changes.
However, the current limit of 10 changes per suggestion creates a significant challenge when editors need to make multiple corrections to a lengthy road segment.
The Issue
For example, consider a lengthy road segment that requires several corrections to its properties. An editor may need to update its…

Exportable History
With all the ride sharing and delivery companies, it would be helpful to be able to export travel history to create a reliable travel log. Date, start and end time, start and end location (would love specific addresses where possible), and distance traveled.
