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.

Improve WME editing capability on mobile phones
I can currently add or delete real-time closures in WME in Chrome on my mobile (Galaxy S20). I can't change turn permissions, for instance, as touching the turn arrow to be changed deselects the segment it's part of. Can we get more functionality of WME in Chrome on a mobile phone?

Creating an traffic event from a RTC automatically
Waze wants more traffic events additional to the RTC in order to benefit from the metadata.
Adding a larger amount of traffic events as before needs exceptionally more time and effort.- First, visiting the event tab and creating an event with name, duration etc.
- Adding the respective RTCs with again entering name and duration. 3.Again, going to the event tab and submitting the event.
This is too much work to keep up in general.
So solve this, I suggest the possibility to create an event from the closures tab automatically using the already submitted closure name and duration (as an…

New Description for Retirement/Nursing Homes
When editing the map and adding/editing places, it would be helpful if we could have a category for Nursing/Retirement Homes and Senior Centers. The number of seniors continues to grow, and having this category available would be a nice addition.

Add Slope / Tilt Penalty
Add a route penalty option for streets with pronounced slopes that can become dangerous (whether due to vehicle capacity or atmospheric conditions). Such an option should have various levels of penalties depending on the tilt angle.

Rearrange RoadShields by moving the boxes with the mouse.
It would be really great, if we could move RS on WME. It's really tedious when you have to delete RS and search again just to change the order of them. How great would it be if we could rearrange the different RoadShield boxes by moving them with the mouse.

Receive reminder when closure will expire soon
The ability when adding a closure to select a checkbox to receive a reminder notification a couple days before expiry would be really useful. Sometimes when adding closures we do not know when the road will reopen, so the closure is set for a week or a month. So it would be great to know when these closures are about to expire so we can check and extend the closure if needed.

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,…6 votes -
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.

Closure layer behaviour on selected segments
When the closure layer is off and you have a segment with closure selected, the active closure is not showing when you switch on the closure layer. You need to unselect and reselect the segment to be able to see it. It would be nice if that can be resolved.

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.

Update UR Categories the same as the App
Would like to match app problem descriptions with those presented in WME URs.
For example: UR's that come in for 'Wrong Driving Directions' (what the App says)
Show in WME as 'Improper / Poor navigation instruction'Having that changed to 'Wrong Driving Directions' will help with editors looking at responses and what to select for a default/1st response to a user.

modify navigation to Bombo Headland and Quarry
After recently speaking to sightseers looking for Bombo Headland while walking from Darien av I asked them what navigation tool they use. The name Waze came up. Sightseers navigating with Waze to Bombo Headland and/or Quarry are taken into Darien avenue, a residential street. I have recently successfully modified Google maps to direct navigation to the carpark at Bombo Beach which is the intended direction from Kiama council and is closer to these wonderful sightseeing places. Please see example here:- http://ow.ly/MBgg50DFXBp

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.

Allow for the addition of signage symbols for turn instructions.
I'm not asking for the ability to add all road signage (e.g. regulatory signage) as this would be overkill, but many countries include symbolism on big green signs to display additional services on a turn instruction without having to use lengthy text to do so.
While some symbolism exists in unicode/emoji form, these are not uniform across platforms and having country specific visual aids to add to signs would be a valuable way of informing drivers of additional services on their turn instructions.
The types of signs I would like to see added include:
* Accomodation
* Camping
* Caravan…22 votes -
Seasonal Roads
In almost every climate, there is some time of seasonal weather condition that closes roads at least temporarily during a season.
For example, in the winter, some municipalities will not plow certain roads where the roads are not servicing any addresses. These roads are legally open, but may not be passable by most vehicles except during periods of melt or the end of the season melt. In other areas, seasonal rains or snowmelt mean that dirt roads are impassible to most vehicles several days at a time due to mud, but are usable in drier spells during that season. Because…

change/adapt default average speed assigned to a segment for itinerary calculation
Hello,
Using the script "road speed", I can see what are the average speed used for route calculation on every segment.
I'm working on the map in Rwanda, Africa. Here, the major/minor highway may sometime be unpaved road. On these road, the driving speed never exceed 20-30 kph. However, by default, the speed on these "major highway" segment asigned by waze is 60-80 kph, which induce huge difference in the ETA.
Of course, in cities or in the main roads where there is a lot of wazer traffic, this is automatically adapted thanks to the users. But in less populated…

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 ?

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.
