Provide helpful suggestions when showing a save error
When you display a save error in WME, please give us helpful suggestions on how to resolve the issue, not just a generic "check and try again." Check what? What are we looking for? How do we fix it? What is "modifying GuidanceMode? What are CS Lanes? Saying "Check and try again" doesn't help.
Example:
Modifying GuidanceMode is allowed only for CS Lanes
Suggestion: Check and try again12 votes -
Disable segment geometry changes in House Number mode
When in the "Edit House Numbers" mode, the Editor allows changes to segment geometry, but then generates an error when saving the changes. It is very easy to unknowingly edit segment geometry when trying to move a house number stop point. When this occurs, any HNs edited after that geometry change need reverted.
Please disable segment geometry changes when in HN mode.

Remove Search Disable At Zoom Levels Less Than 12
It's annoying with the recent implementation of disabling the search bar at zoom levels less than 12 (1 - 11). In places where I'm trying to find a particular location because a city name is repeatedly multiple times in the state I end up having to zoom out to see major roads and match the map up with the DOT reports for mapping closures. Once the zoom level is less than 12 the search feature is disabled so I have to zoom back in just so I can search for the next item on the list.

"Show on map" in UR should zoom in to UR itself, not to its route
It happens rather often: when I open a UR and click "Show on map", WME zooms in, but the UR isn't visible. I need to zoom out 1-2 levels in order to see the UR and then zoom in to it manually.
I guess, the algorithm of WME calculates the "Show on map" point basing on the user's route. But the user saw the problem in the point of the report, so WME should zoom in to it.

Emergency Closures and Events/accident reporting
Allow users to add more than one section of road to a road closure.
It would be good if emergency closures would show up in the app to influence driving directions, and if we could report closures longer than one section of road.
I was driving somewhere on the weekend, and there'd been a fatal accident on the Highway at 2 am, but Waze still told me to drive using that section of the highway.
When I looked the accident had been reported on the app hours before I left, and there were comments on the accident about what sections…

Display far lanes information when viewing previous build
When viewing previous build (formerly snapshot mode) it's not possible to see what the far lanes information was. Please add this to the data available when viewing the previous build.

Smoke on Road
Users should have the possibility to report a common danger in the road: Smoke. It can be from wildfires as described in another suggestion, however roads are not necessarily closed.
We have dangers like "ice on road" or "snow", however those are never used in countries where winter never gets below 0°C (or is highly unlikely). On the contrary, every year there are fires causing road hazards with visibility dropping considerably.

Improve PopUp in closures
Hi, im thinking in the posibility to include popup with Pic or Image when we creates a closure or Wazer (N3+) add image to existent closure, i mind, if i Drive with Waze app and that shows pics or photograpy about reason of closures, that helps to Wazers to know the reason and to us (like editors) to keep actualized and clear ending closures.
Thanks for all!
Happy Xmass, and a Happy New Year

Traffic data layers in WME for advanced editors
It would be useful for editors investigating routing issues and making mapping decisions to have a configurable traffic data layer in WME that could show a variety of information collected from drivers. This would include statistics such as the average number of Wazers driving on the segment per day, speed percentiles for drivers on the segment, the "freeflow" speed that Waze is using in routing, and the amount of times that the routing server has used the segment. It would also be useful for editors to be able to see locations where the app consistently has trouble snapping drivers to…

Thank you for reaching out. We don't have enough details to thoroughly investigate this idea so we will close it now. If this idea is still relevant, please submit it again and include all relevant details.

Coming up to your destination
The app no longer gives an indication that you are near your destination or whether your destination is on the left or right anymore. I am constantly driving past my destination before I notice it. The app doesn't even "redirect" as I drive past.

No feedback provided if permalink is unable to select items
Currently there is no feedback given if one or more items are not selected when opening a permalink (i.e segments, places, URs, etc.).
For instance, I have a document with PLs of segments that are always closed during events (such as stadiums). If a segment ID is changed and therefore no longer linked in the PL, I have no way of easily knowing this.
Please consider providing some sort of warning if WME is unable to locate all the linked items.

When using the ruler tool in WME, please make nearby geometry handles visible.
Currently, it is only possible to see the geometry handles when an object is selected for editing and the mouse cursor is very close. Most of the time the ruler tool is used, it is to measure the distance between nodes and/or geometry handles. It would be immensely helpful to be able to see them while using the ruler tool.

Display clogged and cluttered with senseless labels of streetnames
Quite often, in dense areas, the display of my cellphone is cluttered with adjacent streetnames shown as big labels. These labels/names hide the map details (i.e. approaching turns, exits etc.). So I am distracted by zooming in and out and panning the screen.
I would REALLY like the opportunity, to switch OFF the streetname label.6 votes -
Phone number extensions
Enable editors to add extensions to phone numbers by adding a semicolon after the completed phone number. This way, mobile phones will automatically dial the extension for a user.
