Save all native WME client settings on server side
Base WME client settings are only saved to the local machine, as every time you log in somewhere on a new workstation, you have to go restore your preferences such as Environment, Language, Imperial/Metric, Compact Mode, Transparent Arrows, etc.
However, with the implementation of Issue Tracker, saved filter settings are immediately accessible upon a new login, proving that WME user settings can be saved at the server end.
Please save all native WME settings on the server side so that they are already in place when an existing editor logs in on a new workstation for the first time.

Color scheme
On highways the exit matters a lot not being able to read an exit because of the color scheme used by waze make us skip the exit and go to next exit. Surprisingly not always but sometimes the color for exits is white letters with yellow/ orange background which makes it hard to read especially at night.
Kindly stick to black letters on bule background or something thing similar to help read the exit sign
Thanks a lot
May be you can add an option to pick your own colour scheme that may help choose the display colour what they…5 votes -

Select and edit multiple RPPs
When you have a street name changed, HN numbers don't need to be modified.
When you have a street with many RPP, you have to change the street name in each RPP, one by one.
This is also the argument of some publishers who do not want to use residentialIt should be interesting to be able to select many RPP of the same street (with the control key for exemple or an option on the segment) to be able to change the street name in one time and in each RPP.

House number layer should disable
With the new house number editing flow, once you edit a house number and leave house number editing, the House Number layer remains active. The layer should return to disabled if it was disabled before editing the house number.

User defined low speed input for better accuracy in journey time.
Not all vehicles can travel at the posted speed limit. Some are limited by type or load. It would be cool if Waze could accommodate this and give an accurate ETA based on the planned speed of the vehicle, rather than the posted limit. For example, the maximum legal speed limit for any vehicle towing a trailer is 80 km/h on all roads in Ireland. Similar restrictions apply to HGV's. A reduced speed field at the start of a route plan would be great for all those drivers.

Hazard addition to go to suggest an edit
Let all editors add Permanent Hazards but since it is locked by level they can be moved to "Suggest an edit" so spamming with permanent hazards or fake hazards are not added to the map.

New Satellite Imagery available for L1
By making various satellite imagery layers available to L1 editors, we can eliminate the need for them or other editors to re-analyze areas and significantly boost their productivity.

Improved Notifications in WME
I suggest adding in WME notifications to improve tracking of URs and map notes:
- Followed URs: Receive notifications directly in WME (not only on the mobile app) when there are updates or new replies.
- Followed map notes: Receive notifications inside WME (not only by email) when new comments are added to notes I am following.
These improvements would make it easier to stay updated, respond faster, and enhance community collaboration without relying only on email or the mobile app.

Counter for Chargers at a Charging Station
Please add a counter to charging station tab Chargers. Once you need to scroll (~7+ charging points), it's difficult to assess how many chargers there are. Example: this Tesla Supercharger: https://waze.com/nl/editor?env=row&lat=52.16064&lon=4.54912&zoomLevel=20&venues=2949642.29824096.27841780
Just something like this would suffice: https://i.postimg.cc/90z5LZ8z/afbeelding.png

Camera Type: Yellow Box
There is locally to me a traffic enforcement camera that ensures a yellow box outside a fire station near a busy junction is kept clear. There is not currently a camera type that is applicable and can be added.

WME Notes List
Should add a tab in the left side panel with a list of all our Notes and those we have answered so we can quickly find them again on the map.

Suggest an Edit: Endpoint and junction nodes
New editors can add new roads, suggest changes to segment attributes, and add new geometry nodes for existing roads. But this isn't very useful without being able to:
- Suggest connecting a new or existing segment to an existing segment (making a new junction node)
- Suggest moving or otherwise editing an existing endpoint node
It would be great for Suggest an Edit to fully support editing road geometry, connecting segments, and editing junctions.

Support "alternate one ways" as permanent hazards
Allow mapping permanent "alternate one ways" as permanent hazards.
Alternate one ways are two-way roads that are not wide enough for two vehicles to transit in opposite directions at the same time.
In Europe, they are the road section within a square blue sign with two arrows (this side has the right of way) and a white circle with 2 arrows with a red border (this way must give way if someone is already transiting from the other direction).

Adding a comment when requesting new aerial images
When L6 editors request up-to-date images for the WME, it would be useful if they could write a comment (for example, for whom they have requested the images) and this comment should also reappear when they get the notification that the new images have been provided.
It could also be helpful to have access to a list or map showing the areas that the new images were requested for so that new images are not requested for the same area by different editors.

Allow segment suggestions on segments with permanent hazards
Well its not possible to suggest edits when a segment has hazards like speed bumps. Its anoying when we are changing smt like direction of an entire street and some of the segments have hazards.

Full Multi-Stop Route Planning
I’d like to request a true multi-stop route feature like Google Maps has, where you can add and reorder several stops in a single trip. This would make it much easier to plan errands or road trips without having to set each leg separately.

add time zone change
Exit 340 on I-40 West is US-11W (Bristol Hwy) near Knoxville, Tennessee is where the time zone sign is posted but it does not show up on waze. It would be nice to see that since watching the clock on the phone while you drive is difficult.
