Map Editors Community Serbia [Serbian]

Hi everyone,

We have some exciting news that will make editing the map in Serbia much easier!

Google Street View has officially relaunched across our region with a massive imagery update. This is the first comprehensive update in nearly a decade, covering over 103,000 kilometers across Serbia, Albania, North Macedonia, and Montenegro.

:light_bulb: How does this help our Map Editing Community?

Fresh ground-level imagery gives us a clear look at recent road developments, urban expansions, and key corridors (like around Golubac Fortress and major highway connections). As you jump into the Waze Map Editor (WME), this updated coverage will help with:

  • Verifying Road Geometry & Alignments: Double-check new bypasses, roundabouts, and altered intersections against fresh real-world imagery.

  • Turn Restrictions & Lane Guidance: Easily spot updated lane arrows, solid lines, turn restriction signs, and divided lanes.

  • Speed Limits & Road Signs: Confirm recently posted speed limit signs, one-way street indicators, and city entry/exit boundary signs.

  • House Numbers & Landmarks: Validate house numbers and local points of interest (POIs) across cities and towns.

  • Construction & Infrastructure Changes: Identify areas where long-term roadworks have finished and permanent layouts are now open.

:world_map: Get Mapping!

If you notice areas in your region that haven’t been touched in a while or have pending map comments (URs/PUs), now is a great time to toggle on Street View in WME and take a fresh look.

A huge thank you to everyone in our Serbian editing community for keeping our roads safe and accurate. Let us know in the replies below if you spot any major road changes in the new imagery!

Happy editing,

Leigh and Albert, on behalf of the Waze Community Manager team.

This is phenomenal news for our community! Having a comprehensive Street View update after nearly a decade is an absolute game-changer for the map in Serbia.

As you know, our region has experienced an unprecedented infrastructure boom recently. Relying solely on satellite imagery or field reports for complex geometry updates can be challenging, so having fresh, ground-level imagery directly inside WME will drastically accelerate our workflow.
