Option for not enabling Closed updates layer when opening UR
The latest version of WME will now enable the Closed updates layer when opening a UR. Many editors don't want or need this, so I am suggesting a toggle (setting) to prevent this from occurring.

Editor Profile daily edit count displayed date
On the editor profile page (https://www.waze.com/user/editor/username), the daily edit count pill boxes advance at midnight GMT. The date displayed on mouseover shows the date relative to local time. This means after 1600 my time (-8), it will show today's date for edits in the previous 24 hours. At midnight local, the dates all switch and show the "correct" date until 1600 again.

편집지역를 국가별 단위로 확대 하면 좋겠습니다.
지금은 본인이 갔던 지역만 편집이 가능 한데 이를
이를 수정하면 좋습니다.
왜. 길이 연결이 되어 있지 안거나 길이 없으면 돌아서
가며 찔게 갈 수가 있는 거리를 멀리 돌아서 가기 때문입니다.
미리 지도를 편집하여 가면 시간과 연비가 적게 든다는 것 입니다.
꼭 필요하다고 생각 합니다.

Differentiate road name and road number
Many roads around the world have different names in addition to the name, such as the road number, whether federal or state. However, currently, this numbering is "hidden" in the alternative street name. In other words, the driver may even know that he is on a highway, for example, by the drawing, but he does not know which one if it has a name.
With this, in the Waze Map Editor, in the edition of the roads, the option of adding the street name or number, if it has one, could be added. Thus, Waze would show both the street…3 votes -

Bilingual
Hello. Is it possible that in the future, the names of cities may also be displayed alphabetically (Roman, Cyrillic, Chinese, etc.) to which I installed the application on the device?

Multilingual street names
Add the capability to add translations to street names so people who speak different/foreign languages can use the map. EX: In Israel, Google Maps has Anglicized street names, while Waze does not. As a result, the English-speaking voice in Waze cannot recite street names in Waze.
This feature would be of great use in NYC and other cities where there are plenty of ESL speakers and people who have very limited understandings of English. Spanish would be a great language to start with.

Have an option to see the year of the Satellital Image shown in the WME
Always shows the actual year but not the year when was taken that Sat Image. Will be really helpful to know that.
106 votesGreat timing! We’re currently working on displaying the date of the satellite image. Keep an eye out for updates on the WME.

A true support for bilingual countries
I noticed that Waze doesn't approach bilingual countries just like GMM does.
For example, in GMM, we can write multiple names for the same road in 2 different languages and based on the user's current phone language chosen, the map changes accordingly.
Unfortunately that doesn't happen in Waze, we are stuck in 1 language only, even if we add "Alternative" name.Here in Kuwait, we use both Arabic and English (Even street signs are written in both Arabic and English) , in Google Maps we are having no problems since most of the roads in the map are written in…
237 votesSince bilingual support is a bigger issue affecting not just the WME, this is a company-wide decision that we will bring to the relevant teams.

Allow Map editor Zoom on mouse scroll to be disabled
When editing maps with my Mac and the attached Smart Mouse, the mouse scroll is extremely sensitive. The sensitivity causes the map to zoom in and out un-expectedly. It would be nice to be able to disable the mouse scroll --> zoom feature.

Editor-set time penalty on a segment
Waze currently routes by finding the fastest route, considering both the expected travel time and certain penalties. For example, navigating onto a private road adds a 2-hour penalty to the route, effectively forcing travel around that segment unless there is no other route.
My suggestion is that all segments have a Penalty attribute that editors can set in WME. Used thoughtfully, this penalty attribute could give the routing engine a nudge away from areas where, based on editors' local knowledge, traffic should generally not be sent.
For example, if all the segments into a residential neighborhood were assigned a 5…

WME Restriction Layer and Invisible chat for newbies...
Hello everyone:
I don't know if there is a existent proposal (I checked it at the suggestion box and the forum) about a layer of the WME for newbies editors with Ranks 1 & 2.
For these ranks I propose remove avtivation layers (Connected users) and the Chat Invisible option.
¿Why?
Because some times when a newbie editor messes up the map and the advanced editor interacts with him does not respond the WME Chat instead following him elsewhere in the map the newbie does not see us because of the "Connected Users" layer is deactivated.

WME Save Button confirmation needed
I would like to suggest that "Confirmation Functionality" gets added to the WME Save button. Because of its location, it very easy to make an unintentional save action and then have to ask for someone at a higher editing level to sort out the error.
