Make the UR Issues Tracker a Tracker and not a Filter
Currently the Issues Tracker is not a tracker, but rather a filter because it hides other URs (issues) on the map.
Ad an option not to hide URs on the map and display the default view (default setting in tracker)... so yes, we need to have some default options (that each user can change)... and when this option not to hide URs on the map to display the default view (including URs).
For example:
I always leave everything to see on my map - my default.
When searching for new URs or looking for URs with answers from reporters, I…74 votes -
Change the road type to "Under Construction"
Enter the road type "Under Construction" instead of using other road types to consider segments under construction.

voice controll over waze
Voice controll when waze is on and the voice controll is on as well.
Just say "Waze danger", it will ask what kind of danger, you say on road it confirm you say after that car stop, or wheather, fog... etc...
It recognise the item and ask to confirm, you say yes and you made a sign without to watch and manual input the danger.

AED
My suggestion would be to include the locations for AEDs (lay defibrillators). Because it is very helpful in an emergency.

copy/paste for turn closures / RTC on turns
new turn closures feature in WME:
We need a copy/paste feature for turn closuresIf you have to setup more than one turn closure, you have to enter description, start/stop date, start/stop time and MTE every single time.
On a closed segment next to a T junction you have to set 4 turn closures, on a + junction 6 times.Why is it better to close e.g. 4 turns than the segment?
If the segment is closed Waze will route you the node that is closer to your destination. Maybe this is the closed junction you don't wanna go through.…21 votes -
Recategorizing UR's when solving
Add a feature to WME to recategorize the Solved UR's when closing those. This would give Waze a true insight of what reports are really needed and vice versa, what are rare and could actually just be within General Error category etc. Based on my research of all Solved UR's in Finland for last 3 months only about 50% were in right category.
In my opinion this would help to reduce and refocus UR categories to better match with reality which in turn helps users when they are reporting meaning less UR's with wrong category -> Better data and better…

don't allow dirt roads
I wish when I select "Don't allow" dirt roads it would navigate the route with the least possible dirt roads. It still routes me over dirt if it's a better route but don't allow to me means don't allow not avoid. I understand if the destination but it should still find the route with least dirt.

wme - remove duplicate headings
how come there is a waze map editor button in this drop down? and a duplicate of live map under it and also in the bottom right? i think the bottom right should be removed along with the waze map editor button?

i think it would be a nice touch to have the same menu in the editor profile like the live map & editor forum sites.

Category for map issues
I was driving the other day and the speed limit indicated by Waze was incorrect. I went to the map issue button in the car, but that was not one of the options for telling what the problem with the map was. The editor who handled my problem then needed to contact me just to find out what the problem with the map was. While I don't mind the contact, it would have quicker and easier for everyone if a speed limit change was an option. Where I'm currently living there is a housing boom. As new subdivisions go up,…

Store state in URL
I want to bookmark certain configurations of WME that contain certain layers or UR filter settings. This is not possible at the moment since the state of UR filters or layers aren't saved in the URL.

wme - editor profile - viewability?
hi.
it would be nice if we could either allow or disallow other users from viewing our editor profile, this is because of safety of where certain editors may try to find where a user lives. (exemptions would be the countries co-ordinators and waze staff).
thank you.

UR User Preference Panel - Combine passes/permits into expendable list
Since User Preferences have been introduced into User Reports, solving URs has become much easier. One drawback is that the list can be extremely long if a user has many passes or permits, forcing the input field well off the bottom of the screen. One example found recently has 722 passes, as shown in this video:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/15iVQMdq9muJoGqItdFZ26Ctx031hu2sY/view?usp=drive_link
Our suggestion is that passes are combined into one initial entry - "added passes", and there is an option to select it, which opens up the list.

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.

Giving option to chose if place would be visible on map or not
Please allow to chose whether place will be visible in application or not.
Currently places larger then 500m2 are automatically visible, but many times it is easier to map with area than with point. Sometimes points are hardly visible due to color, zoom level etc...

Include "Electronic Fence" as an option on radars.
In Brazil, several cities are implementing a security system called "Electronic Fencing", whose objective is to monitor city traffic, in addition to detecting stolen vehicles. However, the community has used "Speed Radar" signage to indicate where the electronic fence cameras are located, confusing many day-to-day users, who think it is a speed camera.

Assign alternative street names to residential places
If a street has alternative names, we need the option to assign those names to residential places on the street.

Add the ability to edit improper road closures, such as flooding on one end only.
Some roads are flooded at one end, but open to residents on the other side, yet the closure lists the entire road as closed. This is a disservice to the residents living on open sections.
