List (and filters) for Crisis Shelters in Side Panel
Since we have been able to create and push [crisis] shelter pins on our own, managing them has proven to be a challenge.
What I would like to see is a sub category for "Shelters" in say the Events side panel for where we can have filters (like within other WME side panels) that would allow us to show/filter through what's open, what's closed and be able to click through to that location to turn it off/on
We now have a good list of past shelter centres, which are often the same during the next emergency, so having this filterable…

Do not automatically re-add a deleted GeoClosure RTC
Once a GeoClosure RTC is deleted, it should not be automatically re-added to the map.
1) It interferes with adding the actual RTC, where it will be automatically re-added during the process of adding the actual RTC which most of the time involve the painstaking process of selecting many segments, only to get hit with a "overlapping time" error.
2) Occasional issue of an inaccurate RTC reported, and is being removed by an editor with on-the-ground knowledge. Only L5 and SM+ are able to add RTCs in Malaysia, surely these editors are more trustworthy on the ground than users who…

€ per minute saved for highway route with tolls
I find myself always going against Waze’s route on my daily commute, because it suggests taking the highway right at the start of the journey, instead of going a bit by the main road until the next city and then joining the highway. This happens because the highway is the fastest route, but the other option is just 4 min extra time in the morning and saves 2 euros in tolls which is half the cost of the journey, if I would take the 100% highway route.
There could be a feature, where I could say how much 1euro should…3 votes -
Avoid toll roads
I have “avoid toll roads” enabled but Waze still includes them. It’d be great if I could “drag” my route and save it as my preferred route.

separate “Avoid expressways” option
Please add a separate toggle for avoiding expressways, instead of treating them the same as motorways.
Today, Avoid highways/motorways skips motorways (in Poland: A roads) but still routes onto expressways (S roads). In many countries these are different classes of road. Motorways are often tolled and fully limited-access. Expressways are usually the main free high-speed network, with different speed limits and rules.
Suggested options:
Avoid motorways
Avoid expressways
That would let drivers choose, for example, “skip Polish autostrady, but keep drogi ekspresowe such as S1”. Right now this is not possible in Waze. Google Maps folds both into one setting,…3 votes -
Add sublayers to Task layer
Please add sublayers to the Task chart layer in WME, just loike there are for almost all other chart layers. Besides bringing it in line with other layers, it will also save editors click, because instead of going all the way to filtering in the Review menu, they can just simply flick it off in the layers menu.
It would look something like this: https://i.postimg.cc/BvpqBXQk/Task-layers.png

Warn editors before hitting the daily proposal limit instead of failing on save
Currently, Level 1 editors are limited to submitting 10 edit proposals per day. However, the editor UI does not indicate when this daily quota has been exhausted.
As a result, an editor can continue selecting locked segments, making extensive adjustments, and editing attributes—only to receive an error ("Editors are only allowed 10 proposals per day") when finally attempting to save. All of that un-submittable work is then essentially lost or blocked.
Suggested improvements:
Visible Counter / Indicator: Display a counter in the WME interface showing remaining proposals for the current 24-hour window (e.g., "Proposals remaining today: X/10").
Proactive Warning: When…

Dynamic "Emergency Vehicle Approaching" Highway Alert
A crowd sourced, real time alert system designed specifically for high speed corridors (highways/freeways) that warns drivers to clear a lane before an approaching emergency vehicle (EV) reaches them.
How It Works:
Initial Report (The First Trigger)
A driver on a highway taps Report > Hazard > Emergency Vehicle Approaching.
To minimize distraction, this can be triggered via Voice Control.
Direction and Speed Tracking
Waze tags the report with the reporter's direction of travel and GPS coordinates.
Waze's backend uses real time traffic flow data to project the EV's probable direction and speed along the highway stretch.
Verification and Cascading…3 votes -
Waze Head up display
When I make a route with an app like Apple maps or Google maps in Carplay. I can follow the navigation on my Mercedes head up display. However, this is not the case with Waze. This would certainly be an added value.

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…

Selecting a search result shouldn't reset the zoom level
When using the WME search box to find a road, it would be really nice if WME could leave the current zoom level well alone rather than always resetting it to level 3.
Even if it just defaulted back to level 4 that'd be an improvement, but jumping back out to 3 means we then always have to zoom back in at least one step if we want to be able to select a street segment. And even at L4, anyone looking to do some work on point places would then need to zoom in one step more before they…

Improvements in segment selection for road closures
Sometimes it's necessary to select multiple segments to perform a road closure either for MTE or for a conventional closure. After you have several segments selected, you accidentally select a node and all work is lost (the section disappears). I suggest making a modification that prevents the disappearance of the selection of these segments and notifies the editor that you selected a node and it will not be possible to make the respective closure (before or at the moment of trying to save). Obviously the idea is to give you the opportunity to remove the node from the selection and…

New Place Address
I'm not sure if it's a minor-bug or intended, but I ask you to take a look:
Issue regarding Map Editor Beta and Production.
:arrow: When you find a new place waiting for approval, if you click on the red arrow everything runs smooth, but if you feel the need to click on the yellow arrow to check what's that place is about before approving it (sometimes you can't tell just by the name title), notice it isn't possible to change the address... well maybe it's ok at this point before approving it.
