  1. Limit locking of segments and Speed Cams, as some admins are very precious about their wrong edits and lock everything

    Some admins are over possessive of their edits that are wrong in many cases, and just lock everything they do including speed cam locations or small segments. This in my opinion is totally against the crowdsourcing model of Waze where you get the best up to date data by millions of users who can't actually override those locked edits!

  2. Waze Map Editor Multi Plateforme

    Actuellement uniquement disponible sur PC via le site web cela pourrait être pratique de l'avoir soit directement inclus dans l'application soit proposer une app permettant d'y avoir accès via nos support portables. car lors de déplacement nous pouvons voirs des erreurs à certains endroits et n'avons pas forcément de PC avec nous et encore moins de possibilités de connexion via celui ci. alors qu'un accès à internet par téléphone et tablette et bien souvent plus aisés.

  3. Turn on u-turns by default in WME

    In those countries where u-turns are allowed please turn it on by default in the WME so I don't have to manually edit every time.

  4. Points de recharge électrique / choix du véhicule

  8. Add gates to the map that can be opened, or closed, for each individual wazer

    Every private installation currently has two, or more, roles (employee/visitor/secret/resident/etc) that are often poorly understood by the map editors. Currently, editors are forced to choose one role then use various segment types to direct wazers to the gate(s) used by that role. For example, in a gated neighborhood we might set the public entrance to local street while all of the resident-only entrances are private road.

    This idea is to have WME support a gate icon that could be dropped onto a segment. These gates would then be visible on the app's map as buttons which a wazer could select…

  9. Remove restriction types in WME for vehicle types and restrictions that are not currently in-app to choose

    Remove all vehicle types in WME, that you cannot currently choose within the Waze App.

    This won't apply to vehicle types that are currently planned to be released to the app, but the "Truck" and "Bus" types haven't been selectable in the App for some time now. This is very confusing for newer editors who are trying to make edits, using vehicle types that will have no effect on anything.

    Similarly please remove the "lane" restrictions like specific restrictions only for the left lane, etc. These do not work and in some edge cases, actually apply to the whole segment…

  10. Keyboard shortcut for Walking Trails

    Ever since Walking Trails where removed from the road type selection for normal Roads, you can no longer add Walking Trail segments from a Keyboard shortcut. Please add a new shortcut.

    My Suggestion would be Ctrl-I and an alternative to the I shortcut for new Road. (Shift-I is already used to toggle the Sat Imagery Layer).

  12. Temporary Construction Zone Restriction

    Per conversation on the editors discord, it would be nice to have a black and orange dashed line which would indicate construction zones in Waze. This way drivers would get an alert and know to slow down if there are any speed restrictions. In the WME app, users would be able to set these temporary restrictions up to what is allowed per their level. This would be done through restrictions field in the editor. A tab would be added in the restrictions editor to show construction zone information. For a user to set a construction zone on a segment or…

  13. Events entry for multiple dates but basic information is the same for quicker creation

    I spent quite a bit of time entering Events today for concerts that happen on every Friday in the summer. Basically the only information that was different was the dates and the road closures were also the same except for the dates. This would be a great time saver if it could enter all the dates and times in separate sections and created separate Events.

  15. Help detecting unanswered UR.

    WME does not sufficiently highlight unanswered URs, while editors are expected to handle unanswered URs.
    URs are coloured according to their age and status (open, closed ok, closed nok).

    Opened UR are coloured in yellow, becoming darker , then red, when aging.
    The only way to differentiate unanswered from answered URs is the presence of a "speech ballon".
    I am a Belgian editor, and we, in Belgium, believe we have invented comic strips and speech balloon, so we like speech balloons.
    However, I believe speech balloon are not visible enough, and unanswered URs should have a distinct colour, perhaps blue,…

  16. Input Permalink into WME Search box should take you to location

    You should be able to paste a Permalink into the WME Search box and be taken to the location instead of having to rely on scripts or pasting in your browser bar and reopening the WME page completely.

  17. Continue instruction

    The idea would be to have for the tracks among others the possibility to have continue instructions:
    * continue to the left,
    * continue to the right,
    * ...

    The goal is to have an instruction like this:
    "Use the right lane to continue to the right"

  18. Make it possible to hide the direction field for certain road shields

    When using a road shield in the turn instruction override menu, all road shields have a direction field attached to them that is meant to be used for cardinal directions (north, west, ...). It is my understanding that we are expected not to add city names here, but to add a free text field next to the road shield instead. This is not immediately clear for editors, though.

    I would therefore like to propose to make it possible to remove the direction field for certain road shields. This sort of setting is probably best stored at the road shield level…

  20. Different closure types for emergency vehicles

    There can be roughly two types of closures on roads. One is that the road is completely closed and driving is absolutely not possible. That's what we have now. Second possible situation is "soft closure", where although the road is publicly closed, some vehicles could still pass because the road itself is drivable.

    "Soft closure" can be an event closure like a festival or VIP visit or something else similar, where an emergency vehicle could drive through in case of an emergency. Such soft closures should not close the road completely, but add a small penalty instead, because you can't…
