  1. Add a new UR Issue filter "Last comment by" - "Not Me"

    Please add a new UR filter in the "Last comment by" drop-down - called "Not me".

    In conjunction with the "Comment by me" filter, this will then allow me to see all URs that I have commented on in the past, but I wasn't the last person to reply. This will include the reporter and other editors.

    Currently, if I select Reporter, I cannot see URs that other editors have last commented on. If I select All, I will see them, but also all of my reports that I was the last commenter on.

  2. Add a keyboard shortcut to toggle the Issues Layer

    The new issues layer is not linked with a keyboard shortcut to toggle it on/off, at it is the case for other layers like roads, place, closure,....

    This would really help, especially for koifish suggestion, so we can quickly toggle on/off the suggestion and see what's under it on the image, or even if there is not a already existing segment hidden by suggestion.

  3. Move RRC and Camera layers to hang under Permanent Hazards

    With the introduction of Permanent Hazards Railroad crossings and Cameras have been moved into the Permanent Hazard menu. It would now make (a lot of) sense to also apply this to the chart layers, to prevent people from wondering why railroad crossings or cameras are greyed out in the menu while they do have the permanent hazard layers checked on. It should be similar to how the Places layer has been restructured.

    Unless it will be merged into the hazards layer of course, then this is redundant.

  4. Add checkboxes to flag unusable/inaccessible gas stations

    Editors occasionally find angry URs from drivers who couldn't use or reach stations listed in their gas-station finder. For example, a substantial fraction of drivers -- the majority? -- cannot use non-gasoline fuel, cardlocked stations, military-only stations, or private stations located inside secure installations. Many cannot use members-only stations, such as Costco in the US.

    One way to prevent these misroutings would be to add checkboxes for limited-audience gas stations, for example as follows. The app could then let drivers opt in as desired.

    In WME, the list might read:
    - Military only
    - Members only
    - Non-gasoline fuels only…

  5. Junction box, add ability to demand a pass or mark as private for specific route

    Junction box is still evolving so it would be good to add one more feature to it. We have situations where driving through a longer section of road is only permitted with certain conditions but driving to an address in between or to drive across the affected street from different direction is always allowed.

    Thinking about a possibility that those conditions could be set as a pass and then apply it only to specific route in junction box. This could probably also be used in a way that you could set a specific route to be private road in routing,…

  6. Change the road type to "Under Construction"

    Enter the road type "Under Construction" instead of using other road types to consider segments under construction.

  7. Keep usernames in WME history instead of "inactive user"

    Whenever an user is banned or deletes his/her account or just mysteriously (!!) loses his/her account, all edits in history will be shown under name "inactive user" with a link to 404 page.

    Just, for the sake of history, please keep the original username in history and add a little remark that the account is inactive/deleted/etc..

  8. Event based restrictions

    Sometimes for major events and after major emergencies (wildfires, hurricanes, flooding) there are roads that are open to residents but not to the general public.

    I would suggest something that can be applied like a real time closure, but acts more like setting the road to private so it allows routing onto the segment but not through the segment.

    This may be related to Permanent Hazards instead, but however it is implemented it should not require a tile update.

  9. Include layers settings NOT marked as default

    Hello, I am almost sure that I am writing a duplicate of a proposal here. However, I have not found anything in a hurry.
    What is a minor annoyance in daily editing and helping new editors is clicking on permalinks that contain layer settings. Unfortunately this option is turned on in the default. My suggestion is I think quite simple to implement. By default this function should be deselected. If you have to send your layer settings (there might be reasons to do so) you have to check this option actively."

  10. "Check and try again"

    Save error suggestions should provide useful, actionable info to the editor to help them know what to do to solve the problem.

    "Check and try again" isn't helpful. Check what?

  13. Enable zoom keyboard shortcuts (Shift + up/down) when Streetview is open

    Zoom keyboard shortcuts (Shift + up/down) are not working when Streetview is open. Please bring them back :)

    They were intentionally disabled apparently - see forum post for more info: https://www.waze.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=2362272

  16. Road height restriction.

    To display road height restrictions for all tp yoe of vehicles. Some waze users does not select type of vehicle. At certain road, there are height restriction, if there is a notification when waze navigate trhough fastest routes it would be helpful for drivers.

  17. Show stop points in the House Numbers layer

    The House Numbers layer currently displays only the location of the HN, but not the stop point on the related segment. In HN editing mode, when you select the HN, the stop point also becomes visible, with a dotted line from the HN to the stop point. Suggestion is to display the stop point and the dotted line as part of the House Numbers layer, even when not in HN editing mode. (This might either be visible only at a high-enough zoom level, such as 18, or be an option that the user could enable from the layers menu.)

  18. אופציה ל'הערה אישית'

    שתהיה אופציה לבניית הערה אישית, כמו שיש 'אל תשכח להדליק אורות' או 'אל תשכח את הילד'...
    שתהיה אפשרות לכתוב הערה שתקפוץ כשמגיעים למקום מסויים. לדוגמה: 'לא לשכוח לעבור בסופר' או 'לא לשכוח לעבור במחסן'

  20. JB, RRC, Camera: Edit only when the layer is on

    For Place you have to enable the layer. This is a good feature so you can‘t create something what is still there but hidden.
    Can you expand this also to JB, RRC, Camera?
