Invalid Railroad Regression Error
I would put this in Beta Bugs but I know that technically it is not a bug. So I am going to make it a suggestion instead.
If you have a railroad segment cross a street segment and you decide to junction them.
(pic 1)
You get an error when you save telling you that all turns are disallowed.
(pic 2)While technically this is true, you CAN"T allow the turns onto/off the railroad segment (and you shouldn't be allowed to).
This is a left over error from back when turns could be set on railroad segments and needs to…

Clean restrictions type
Hi
Now that restrictions are limited to actual supported vehicules, can data be cleaned in those actives?
Truck, coach... are visible but can't be deleted.
Hope I'm clear enough :D
Thanks

Link to the original suggestion: https://www.waze.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1525&t=3004432 votesThank you for this suggestion, but we won’t move forward. with it.
We left these in order to avoid deleting data that the editors worked on. This way, if we will support these in the future, the data will still be there.
The data, as said, is not interfering with the app.Thanks,

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 -
Sunrise/sunset vs absolute times for restrictions
Some roads have driving restrictions based on the local sunrise/sunset times, which are difficult to map even somewhat accurately as a series of consecutive restrictions with absolute start/end times.
Being able to set a single year-round restriction using a "sunrise" or "sunset" option to set the start/end times, and leaving it up to the routing server to determine what the actual start/end times are for each restriction based on the current date and coordinates of the restricted segments, could therefore be useful.

We have looked at this suggestion, and in order to make some decisions about it, would like to kindly ask you to provide us with more data about it.
Please share some examples for when and where this restrictions apply? (use cases)
And any country you know relevant for it.

Allow taking a Place picture from Streetview
Requirements: the Streetview panel is open and the place layer is on
Then: allow creating a box on the Streetview panel. When a box is drawn add a bar saying: now select a place to apply this picture.
Add an X on the box to delete it. Allow the user to resize the box.
Set a minimum size and a fixed ratio (the one used by the client) for a decent resolution.
Drawing a new box removes the previous one if present.If then the user clicks on a place, ask him:
"would you like to set this selection as…

As mention in the post, this is something that we won’t do, as these images are copy righted.

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.

https://www.waze.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1525&t=3020173 votesThanks for this idea, but this is not planned for now.
We do have thinking processes of making the restrictions closer to real time, but nothing concrete for now. -
Additional camera types, with names and TTS defined by community
July 2020, Waze has three camera types: speed, red light, dummy. It is clear talking to different community leaders that the requirements for specific cameras vary from country to country. Thus, we are asking for the ability to add new camera types per country, with the ability to input into text to speech (TTS), and on/off toggle alert in the app. These could be provided by form, similar to new gas station brands, etc. by a country's leadership.
Alternatively, collect a list of camera types from the communities to create a long list, and allow countries to turn them on/off…

ניווט ומיפוי גשרים
אהלן, אני איתי בוקעי, ולפני כחודש עלה לי רעיון שיכול בעיניי לעזור לנהגי משאיות וגררים גדולים, הרעיון הוא שכאשר אתה מתחיל את הנסיעה או מוריד את האפליקציה, ומכניס בקטגוריה של כלי רכב: משאית או כלי רכב גדול מאוד אחר, הוא גם יכניס את גובה הרכב שלו.
וכל פעם שהרכב ייתקרב לגשר יודיעו לו באפליקציה על התקרבות לגשר, ואת הגובה של הגשר, ואם אפילו אפשר לבדוק מתחת לאיזה גשרים הוא לא יכול לעבור ובככה לחסוך הרבה בעיות נהיגה ובנוסף להעיר את המודעות של נהגים אלה לגובה רכבם, במידה ושכחו להוריד את המנוף או נוסעים עם חלק מהרכב מורם, ובכך אני מקווה…7 votes -
100 gas, fuel station price list update suggestions
Hello dear Waze Team,
I am contacting you because I’d like to suggest some features to be added. As I am a gasoline car user who always fills her car with 100 octane gas, I’d like to see prices of that as well in the price list at fuel stations. I’d also add a menu for updating prices by seeing the info page of the station.
Thank you for your consideration.
All the best,
Hanna

Possibility of planning the fastest route between many destination points. Possibility that delivery person from all kinds will enjoy it
Planning a trip to a large number of destinations, for example for delivery person..
at this time, can serch route for one destination and add 1 stop to the way.
My idea is that it will be possible to put a lots of destination points and waze will calculate the fastest route between all points.9 votes -
אפשרות לתכנון המסלול המהיר ביותר בין הרבה נוקודות יעד. אפשרות ששליחים מכל התחומים יהנו ממנה
תכנון נסיעה למספר רב של יעדים, למשל בשביל שליחים..
כרגע בוויז אפשר לתכנן נסיעה ליעד אחד ומקסימום להוסיף עוד עצירה אחת בדרך.
הרעיון שלי הוא שיהיה אפשר להכניס המון נקודות יעד ושוויז ישכלל את הנתונים ויעדכן במסלול הכי מהיר לעבור בין כל הנקודות.
בעיקר ישמש את כל השליחים שצריכים בזמן הכי מהיר לעבור

Set GPS point color by age in WME
Please set the color of GPS points in WME by age instead of direction, The direction is already indicated by the direction of the arrow. Editors need to know how old the tracks are to see changing traffic patterns.

Display the edit history of map comments
Currently, WME only shows the date the map comment was created and then the date it was last edited. The details in the history pane that is shown for places and road segments is not currently available for map comments.

First-Time WME Login Tour / Tutorial
Create a tour/tutorial screen that pops up when a user logs in to the editor for the first time. The screen would be greyed out except for highlighted areas, where a chat bubble would explain what that button/area in the editor is for. It would also provide the means to have the editor engage the community through the forum or Wazeopedia.
For example:
- "This is the layers button. You can turn on extra layers to see roads, places, comments from other editors, etc."
- "This area contains a feed of map content, your recent drives and editable area, and…3 votesGreat thinking! We’ll share with the team; they’re always interested in new feature ideas.

Retroalimentación para usuarios.
Saludos.
Considero interesante la posibilidad de comunicar a los usuarios que agregan lugares, fotos y sugerencias, el poder poner en su conocimiento la razón por la cual el editor no aprobó su su lugar, foto o sugerencia.
