Improve satelite image
In "Valera, Venezuela" the satelite image of Google is a real mess. I really loved the former images from the waze map. Do something google because your satelite image is not helping me to edit the roads in my city

Remove RS update location on https://www.waze.com/fr/user/editor/*
Since RS are in wme, on the editor page those edition are link to 0,0 position.
Would it be possible to improve the visualization of these editions because it affects the readability of the map?20 votesPlease provide more information, including screenshots to illustrate the issue.

Closing URs that are no more in your editing area
I can edit the area of a UR when I first answer it because it is in my edit area. But sometimes I do reach the expiry date of the editing area in the middle of working on this UR. Because of that, I can't even close the UR I started working on.
It would be great if there will be an option to close a UR you started working on even if this UR is now outside of your editing area.29 votes -
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.

Remove false city names from UK WME database
Following the mass import of data for 3 ad campaigns (McDonald's, M&S, Aldi) by the Ads / Geo-ops teams the UK map is now littered with false or incorrect city names. These must be removed from the map immediately as they are NOT city names and should not exist.
The UK Champs have asked privately for this to be done but for some reason this request needs to be public.
This is NOT a change to UK mapping, this is simply following common sense that Counties should never be used as a city name and fake city names should not…

Conditional lane guidance
There are many cases in highways where there is an on-ramp shortly followed by an off-ramp. In those cases, the right lane/s serve for those who get on the HW from the on-ramp, as well as those who get off the HW on the off-ramp.
A wazer that gets on the HW from the on-ramp and has to continue on the HW should get lane guidance to go onto the left lanes when approachng the next junction of the off-ramp, otherwise, he might continue on the right lanes and get off the HW.
A wazer that comes on the HW…39 votes -
Segregating effective and suggested closures
WME shows two kinds of closures:
- effective closures, affecting routing and visible on livemap
- suggested closures, non affecting routing and not visible on livemap. Those suggested closures always have a duration equal to a multiple of 24 hours, starting and ending at the same time of day (on different days, obviously), and are usually created by editors having a layer lower than 3. Those suggested closures result from closure reports made from the app.
The WME displays both kind of closures using exact same visuals: it is necessary to open and examine the closure, to determine if it…32 votes -
custom alerts
I would like to be able to place custom warnings in WME that come through to the app.
problem:
- certain tunnels see a lot of truckers or camper vans getting jammed because they are too large to enter.
- school area's getting dangerous when people who do not know the area are routed through due to a traffic jam somewhere else.Idea:
I imagine this like placing a speedcam in WME but then beeing able to fill in a message (with a set maximum of characters).
We could use those to put warnings in problematic areas, and these can…18 votes -
Multiple sets of hours
Add the capability for editors to add multiple sets of hours for an establishment. This feature would be especially beneficial for banks and pharmacies. At banks, ATMs are often open 24/7, while human tellers, consultants, notaries, and other banking personnel are not at banks 24/7. At pharmacies, the convenience store and the pharmacy itself mostly have different hours. Finally, there are some establishments with delivery hours and/or drive-thru hours that differ from the establishment's standard operating hours.

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…3 votesGreat thinking! We’ll share with the team; they’re always interested in new feature ideas.

More options for the business hours for shops or places (WME)
In the WME, I guess we can modify the option available to define the business hours.
In France and I guess in other countries, some shops or places are closed for lunch. We should be able to define the duration of the break between morning and afternoon.
in the same way, some shops or places don't have the same business hours for each day, so we should be able to define the business hours hours day by day.
Last point is that depending on the seasonality shops or places ( for exemple on the west coast in france) don't have…4 votesGreat thinking! We’ll share with the team; they’re always interested in new feature ideas.

Reopen Update Request
A key could be added, available for a certain period of time from the closing of the UR (e.g. 1d, 6h, 30min), to be able to reopen it and change its status, it is useful when a UR is closed by mistake (if the key is displayed for a few minutes after closing) or if the user replies or adds details after closing (if viewed for a few hours after closing)
The button could only be made visible to those who commented on that issue first or otherwise participated in the conversation.63 votes -

Prefill city when using a street name suggestion
When we currently enter the name of a street, we get autocompletion suggestions based on existing roads in the neighbourhood. It would help quite a bit if the associated city field would also be filled in whenever we use one of these suggested road names. I know that every street has a city set (or none, on purpose) in the underlying data model, so this shouldn't be a big effort to add.
(see Mock up 1 + 2 attached )
I'm still contemplating whether I'll write a userscript for this or not. It's not so easy to hook into those…

[REQUEST] Feed Filters
It would be very nice if we could filter the feed by notification types (more or less like URO+ does, but without having to reload the feed several times to find the ones you selected).
Options suggested:
Notifications (checkboxes):
- PURs (and subtypes);
- URs (and subtypes);
- PMs.Areas:
- State XX (particularly useful for SMs and CMs);
- Areas driven [last XX days];
- Country (useful for CMs);
- All editable areas.Those above are what I miss the most. But, since we're at it, some extra suggestions would be:

Events: additional tickbox "event needs push notification"
Requesting push notifications for events through the editors' community still doesn't work very well and is not rewarding.
Now contributors get a notification if their event was published by Waze staff but they get no notification about the event being reviewed at first. If Waze decided to not send a notification, the contributor doesn't get to know the reason, nor the information that the decision has been made!When I enter major events I -as a local member- often know that they have a high impact on traffic in the near area.
I suggest adding a tickbox to clearly show…
