Improve error message for incorrect password
Whenever one tries to login into the editor (or any other site) and the password is incorrect, the error message is: "Something went wrong. Try again". It is suggested to add: "Check the Caps Lock and the Keyboard language setting". An even better idea is not to allow insertion of non-English letters, and warn the user while typing the password, and warn for all capital letters when the user clicks on Log in.

Disable segment geometry snapping
We see some changes to geometry handles in WME, so here is another suggestion to improve it even more.
Why do we still have the road snapping behavior if two roads can't intersect together? This behavior is annoying when you try to edit an interchange with multiple intersecting segments, but the editor's snapping concept interferes with you.

Disable automatic kinetic / inertial panning of the map
With decent search functions and new zoom levels, I feel that the kinetic panning of the map behavior is not necessary. I sometimes find it to be a nuisance since I tend to pan the map past my intended point sometimes. Currently, I use a script to make the map static and find this behavior much better to direct.

Update Request - View recently cancelled route
It would be extremely helpful on Update Requests to provide the route/path information for a recently cancelled route.
Often users report an issue shortly after cancelling a route that gave them bad instructions. In these cases, editors can't see what the Waze app was asking them to do, versus what they actually did. Often users forget the precise details of what the bad instructions were.
If this is already permitted to some degree, perhaps widening the time window my a couple of minutes would help capture more of these.

Dismiss auto completion of segment name in WME
When providing segment names, sometimes the auto completion overrides correct street names with the already provided wrong title. I found no other way of overriding it except deleting the wrong name from all segments that use it and saving them without a name. Afterwards it's possible to add the name. This is especially problematic when one just needs to adjust something from lower to upper case and the other way round.
In my opinion there should be an option like a cross at the end of the auto completion menu that closes it and offers the ability to provide a…

Drivable Areas
The current solution for parking lots and gas stations is not particularly user friendly. A user driving within these areas is directed to follow parking lot road segments which can be very complex and still may not represent the paths that drivers actually follow.
A means to give a user a general instruction to proceed to a particular exit to get going on their route could result in a better user experience, especially in the case of of multi-level parking structures where a user may drive in circles repeatedly as they proceed to the exit level.3 votes -
Fix bug when multiple URs are submitted from the exact same location.
When multiple URs are submitted at the exact same location only the last one can be opened. When you try to open the others the display hangs and a hard refresh must be used.

Add Names of Lakes and Rivers to the display in the APP
In some areas bodies of water are significant landmarks that aid in navigation. The names of major bodies of water are shown in the Live Map already. I assume the names shown in the LM are coming from the Water Layer. Enabling these names to be displayed would be a great addition to the App.

ability to amend speed limits
I'd be interested to find out how I can advise of a change in speed limit please. Our village (Newington, Sittingbourne, Kent) has recently introduced a 20mph limit across the village, but it's still showing on the app as 30mph.

speed limit user poll
The idea is very simple but could improve the editors SLUR extremly.
In the moment we have poll´s for Police controll, Accident, Danger and so on.
Why not having a Posibility to do an limited (e.g.48hours) Poll for a Speed Limit like "is 120km/h the correct Limitation" (Yes, No)
and display the Poll Result in WME which would easyly allow to check if a submitted Speedlimit is correct.3 votes -
Road type per direction
Allow us to set different road types for each segment direction. For example, driving A -> B can be opened for all and set as street, but driving B -> A is permitted only for small amount of people (private road).

Multiple Sets of Hours
Enable Waze editors to add multiple sets of hours for a location. Example: a restaurant with drive-thru, eat-in, takeout, and delivery hours. Perhaps editors can add these sets of hours when they add the place attributes.
Another example would be a gas station with a deli that has different hours from the rest of the station.
I think adding sets of hours is too complicated for drivers; it should be reserved for editors if implemented, at least in the early stages.

2-way turn lane
Add support for 2-way median turn lanes to WME lane guidance. Users would be prompted to use the left median lane (or something easier to comprehend).

Give the user the possibility to set the start and end point of construction sites
Give the user the possibility to set the start and end point of construction sites. With that WAZE and they community know how long the construction sites will be (and can be better calculated with the speed limit). In addition, if an accident happend, you know where it happend within the construction sites and if it makes sense to avoid it, if possible.

Turn highlight
Currently a turn is highlighted when you hover over it in the LG menu. But if you then click the turn to change it, the highlight disappears when selecting a different arrow icon. Please keep the highlight when the mouse moves over the dropdown.

Personalizing dashboard option for frequently used notifications to improve posting time
Create the ability for users to select a handful (3 or 4) user-selected notifications of common notifications they post in Waze as the notice them on the road so they can access them directly from the Waze dashboard in the Waze app on Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
Also create the option for Waze users to update or change the notifications they want to show and have quick access to on the Waze dashboard.
This would improve the customer experience of using the app, improve the amount of notifications submitted by Waze users, and minimize the time lost by Waze…

WME needs an option in reports that has like, "following" for a check box and only reports that I have responded to at any time will be shown.

Make editor impact more obvious
Drivers get a regular report of their reporting impact, such as how many reports and how many people were impacted and helped. It would be nice if WME did something similar. Perhaps in the editing history show some statistics to allow editors to see their impact for edits.
Such as:
Segments: Give a rough estimate of how many drivers navigated to a destination on this segment or traversed the segment (such as navigated to a PP with a stop point or to a HN).
Places: How many users have searched for / navigated to this place.
Under each edit in…
