Time-based restrictions with annual repetition.
We should be able to place traffic restrictions on a segment, for example in the summer (June 1st to September 30th).
As the 1 has already passed, we can only place it from today (June 22) and we can only correct it to be correct for the next year after September.
In this case, it should be possible to insert the total (correct) date of the restriction.

Use Paths or Restricted Areas to create drive through restriction
Amount of residential areas where drive through is forbidden is increasing everywhere. I was wondering could either Paths or Restricted areas have an extra setting "Not allowed to drive through" and by setting it router would prohibit such routes. Paths would work on smaller areas but in bigger ones would have to be set with Restricted area.

Last Edit
Track last edit for self as editor in WME and have a link to go there.
Sometimes WME gets stuck. Requires hard refresh. But if last edit was important and was not complete, where was it. I was too busy to capture a link.
Would have to be a 2-phase commit. Capture the location for the editor. then attempt the edit save. Otherwise, If it crashes, the last edit would not get recorded.
Please have a link to go back to last edit on WME load.

Move RRC and Camera layers to hang under Permanent Hazards
With the introduction of Permanent Hazards Railroad crossings and Cameras have been moved into the Permanent Hazard menu. It would now make (a lot of) sense to also apply this to the chart layers, to prevent people from wondering why railroad crossings or cameras are greyed out in the menu while they do have the permanent hazard layers checked on. It should be similar to how the Places layer has been restructured.
Unless it will be merged into the hazards layer of course, then this is redundant.

Blocking the APPROVAL or EDITS of a place if the corresponding label is off.
Now that the CREATION of a place if the corresponding label is off is implemented, the same principle should also be applied to APPROVAL or EDITS of those places.
Otherwise we can be adding duplicates to the map

Prevent the creation of place "my home"
Many drivers create places called "home", "my house" or any similar name. It takes some time to review/reject the PUR, so it would be great to have something to automatically prevent it : a warning to the user ? a filter to automatically reject the creation ?

WME Planning Mode
When handling new road construction or reconfiguring existing roads, junctions, interchanges, etc. it would be beneficial to have a "planning mode" where the changes could be planned in advance but not added to the live map until the construction is finished. Currently, editors must carefully preserve existing routing while mapping the new segments.

Touristic Routes...
Touristic Routes
In my country, Portugal, as in almost all countries, we have beautiful places to visit, cities to see and, for that, among the various means of transport that we can access, of course, the motor vehicle is one of them... and for that, you need a road to drive...
When we are on vacation for example, we want to go and visit these places and we map routes, marking it in a diary (or something similar) what we want to visit and see...
In WME, some of these routes could be defined by the editors, be pre-defined and…

Add filter to WME feed
Add state filter to the UR feed
To be able to focus on editing a state, il would be good to be able to filter the feed mainly when managing a country or multiple states.

Multiple opening hours per day
Having the possibility to enter multiple opening hours for each day.
Some shops are open from e.g. 09:00 to 12:00 and 14:00 to 18:00. Currently you have to enter each of those times for each day seperately.11 votes -
Show lanes configuration even if not in editable area
The lanes tab contains the number of lanes and the lanes associated to each turn, including far turns. This is necessairy for adding lanes but also for ckecking them them.
If an editor has no permission to edit lanes on a segment, he only sees the total number of lanes and the lane configuration as a whole.
This also happens when the segment is not inside one's editable area.The problem is, this way it's not possible for editors to discuss or check a certain lane configuration together if this is outside of the editable area.
So please show the…

Add keyboard shortcuts for setting a voice prompt override when a turn is selected
Please allow setting the turn override with a keyboard shortcut, when the turn popup is shown.
Define a set of shortcuts for all possible values (or at least for the main common ones, continue, turn left, turn right, u-turn)
You can show them on the dropdown, so that people know what key to use.
Example: https://ibb.co/hHZsXtMThis would save a lot of clicks (and would more likely prevent mistakes of setting the opposite direction) in particular when setting them over roundabouts.

Stop automatic editing over all recordings
About two months ago a change was made so that every recorded segment is automatically edited by a bot (admin). It is suggested to cancel this change. This will make it easier to recognize a recoding, especially when scripts are used which make it difficult to notice the segment's color. A recording was previously recognized by having just a "created" line and without an "edited" line. We now cannot be sure whether the segment was edited between its creation and the admin edit, and we have to open the segment history or stop the scripts which color the segments.

Parking blue zone
In the Netherlands, but also in other countries, there are parking spaces that you can use for a certain period of time (eg for a maximum time). Blue zone parking spaces. I would like to have an option for this in WME so that it can be checked.
If more information is needed, please let me know.

Clear direction cache when WME edits are made
Often when WME edits are made affecting routing to an address, the Wazer still gets the same incorrect routing because the old data is cached. Then editors get another UR because the Wazer thinks the changes were never made, and we have to explain how to clear the incorrect data from the cache. That can be a problem for those who are technologically-challenged. Not to mention time-consuming for editors who have to walk them through it, sometimes exchanging multiple messages with the Wazer. Can Wazedev find a way to automatically clear incorrect data from the cache when edits have been…

Provide helpful suggestions when showing a save error
When you display a save error in WME, please give us helpful suggestions on how to resolve the issue, not just a generic "check and try again." Check what? What are we looking for? How do we fix it? What is "modifying GuidanceMode? What are CS Lanes? Saying "Check and try again" doesn't help.
Example:
Modifying GuidanceMode is allowed only for CS Lanes
Suggestion: Check and try again10 votes -

Cropping tool for attached images
While adding images from the editor is a bad idea, it could be useful to have the ability to crop images. This could allow generally good image to be improved and kept instead of removed.
