Types of electronic toll
As you know, if you plan a route through highways containing segments with the option “electronic toll” enabled, a time penalty will be added to the final estimated time of route. (3 minutes for each electronic toll, right?)
Here in Portugal we have 2 different types of electronic toll:
-> Type 1 - You need to reduce speed (Electronic reader) or stop (Manual ticket) to cross the toll.
-> Type 2 - You don’t need to reduce speed or stop to cross the toll.So there should be a time penalty on type 1 but not on type 2, but…

Option to select all segments in a closure at once
It happens that a road closure has to be adjusted (end time changed) or removed. It would be very useful if you could select all segments that belong to a road closure directly at once, eg based on start / end time, description, MTE.
(this can be especially useful for large scale works, closures with many small segments, or if you have to work in WME frequently on a mobile device)13 votes -
Retorno do recurso Reportar radar
Solicito o retorno do recurso “Reportar radar” todo dia as autoridades instalam novos radares no Brasil todo e nos usuários somos surpreendidos com a multa em casa. Não acho justo uma ferramenta tão rica ser desprezada pelos seus editores.
A todo momento um susto!!!!Sugiro a volta do recurso imediatamente.

Automatically send UR reminders and mark as 'not identified' if no reply
User Reports (URs) come in by the truckload. Despite a message from an investigating editor, only 10% of URs will receive a reply. This represents a significant amount of time by editors, particularly senior editors managing large areas, to the manual handling of individual URs. Since 90% of the URs result in the same process, help us streamline and automated it so we can focus our valuable time on productive investigations and edits that will value add to Waze.
I propose an additional tick box under "Follow conversation" that says along the lines "Auto reminder and mark as not identified."

Make Map Comments selectable even when behind Area Places
Please allow editors to select Map Comments that located amidst Area Places.
At present, at least in vanilla WME, neither Map Comment points nor areas are selectable if they are amidst an Area Place. The Places layer has to be turned off (or the obstructing place moved or removed) for the Map Comment to be accessible.
Map Comments are among the most useful things for novice editors to view, but such editors may not be aware of the workarounds required to view Map Comments that are amidst Area Places.
72 votesIf we change the order, does it make sense that a place under the map comment won’t be selectable?

Improve the GPS points layer
To branch off the discussion from the WME release topic:
RichardPyne כתב:
I would find GPS points much more useful if they were color coded by age rather than direction. Th arrows provide useful direction, but in areas where traffic patterns are changing due to construction, knowing the age of the trace would be far more useful.dchary2418 כתב:
It could help if the GPS traces were the same original color, but shaded darker for older data.Glodenox כתב:
I'd be all for somehow showing the age of the GPS points. Especially the more recent data seems of interest to…169 votes -
New suggestion subcategories: (1) UR Handling and (2) Management Tools
Please add suggestion-box subcategories for (1) UR Handling and (2) Management Tools. These are critical aspects of the experience for all Waze editors. Strictly speaking they are somewhat separate from main WME functionality, so it would be more inviting to provide dedicated suggestion subcategories.
UR Handling would involve all aspects of how URs and PURs are submitted and handled, including communication with UR reporters. Community Management Tools would involve Waze tools to support how new and advancing editors are contacted, informed, awarded greater responsibilities, or in the unfortunate but not uncommon case of difficult editor situations, contained.

Consolidate the two WME suggestion boxes
Please consolidate the two Uservoice-based WME suggestion boxes. There has been a "Waze Map Editor" subcategory of the "Waze Suggestion Box" for at least a few years, and due to default links and navigation that is still an easier suggestion box to find than this one. Or, is there a reason to have two different suggestion boxes for WME?

Hide Name Checkbox
In an effort to reduce clutter, and provide more information to the user, it would be nice to be able suppress display of the name of certain objects on the map. Parking lot areas, drive through lanes, private community roads, etc. could all benefit from this kind of feature.
The end result could be something like "Turn right into Costco Customer Parking" without a bunch of segments that are visibly named like that in the client.19 votes -
Restrictions feature (TBR): Limit access by editor level
The restrictions tool used to be simpler a few years ago. Today it allows to setup not only time/days restrictions but also permits/passes, number of passengers, toll roads and more. With new options such as "allowed", "toll free" and "prohibited" it became confusing even for higher rank editors sometimes.
I've lost count of how many times I checked editors that made 1-2 edits and that added a 24/24h 7/7d permanent restriction on what should be a simple "private road". Or even setup a freeway pass on a simple street.
This tool has become extremely complex and powerful, especially since routing…

Gas station
One of Swedens largest chain of gas stations is not to be found in Waze. In Eniro's map app it is though. Can you please add Ingo gas station in Waze so I don't have to change to Eniro.

Post exact number of exit to take
When there are multiple exits on a single road, presently you show only what the sign states ( ie: exit 23 ABC ). If I am to take exit 23 B it should state that at the beginnig not when I'm on top of it.

Rest Stop feature to every 1 1/2 or 2 and notify rest area is closed.
I just came off a long trip we tried to stop every two hours and ran into a couple stipulations we need to stop. Having a handicapped daughter we need to stop and where we thought the rest area was open it was closed. Quite racking trying to find a stop. Hope you can figure this out and add an option for closures and rest time.

Allow link RPP and Google addresses
Why we can link POI but can't link addresses?
We have a lot of problem with google addresses and have to use different hacks for it.
I suggest add function linking RPP and Google addresses like in POIs590 votesThanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.
