Currently, the WME only allows assigning 1 road shield to the primary name.
This has a lot of limitations:

• The PN must be unique inside its state
• If a road has a local name, a Road Shield can only be assigned to the entire road (or the segments must be renamed).

It would be good to be able to assign 1 Road Shields for each alternative name, too (which is even already supported by the data model).

The Client, could then:
- randomly pick one road shield to show for that segment (for streets with multiple RS)
- must also look in ANs for a roadshield, as PNs may not have one.

Now we can only close the segments, but it would be really useful to be able to close only the turns.
In many cases, for example, when there are road works at an intersection or roundabout, you can turn in one direction but not in another.
In these cases for the moment, we can not do anything, at most we can insert a restriction on the turns but obviously with all the limitations of the case.
They are not in real time and are not visible on the map.
The ability to close nodes recently arrived on the WME does not help in these cases, as the same node could be open in one direction and closed in another.
I believe it is an absolutely essential function.

The current 100% anonymity of UR reporters makes it impossible for editors to detect reporting patterns of specific Wazers. If URs showed a fully anonymized but user-unique handle for the reporter, editors could identify problematic or abusive patterns. This would save editors time and energy, and allow them easily to report such patterns to community leadership or to Waze for potential action.

Specifically, editors have long suspected that certain Wazers may: (1) repeatedly flag an issue, or a kind of issue, on which they refuse to accept the editing community's past analysis; (2) submit multiple URs for no clear reason, yet never engage when approached for clarification; or (3) traumatize responding editors with a pattern of strongly negative language. Being able to detect these patterns would support and protect the editing community and free up time for more productive work, without compromising reporters' anonymity.

Critically, the "Closed by" signature would have to be adjusted to ensure that, if the UR is closed by the reporter, the anonymized handle is given rather than the true user ID (or it could simply say "Closed by Reporter").

Currently if you add a URL in the top comment box of a Map Comment it is not clickable. You have to save the map comment then add a URL as a conversation comment to get it to be clickable. Please make URLs in the top comment box clickable. This is the comment box that is editable after saving. Here is a link to picture of the problem. https://imgur.com/2Bz4fVt In the picture you can see the top https://www.waze.com/ is not underlined so you can't click it to open the URL. However, the bottom https://www.waze.com/ is underlined and you can click it to take you to the URL. Thanks for your consideration.

Give editors the ability to enter Notes onto User Reports without these going to the reporters themselves.

This will allow us to leave messages for other map editors without the reporter being notified, for example, Please leave open - due to a Waze developer investigation, Please leave open for a pending site survey, etc.

It may also give us the ability to for to use for an internal conversation about the report that the reporter doesn't need to know about.

Yes, I know we have Map Comments, but having the ability to do this directly on the report would make it easier.

Editors must sometimes reject Places and Place updates submitted from the app. But WME provides no means to communicate WHY. This is discouraging for both editors and submitters.

WME should allow editors to select from a list of the most common reasons for rejecting Places or Place Updates in order to inform app users how to improve their Place suggestions. An example list:

• Photos must provide clear exterior orientation for drivers
• Descriptions must meet Waze community guidelines
• Could not verify deletion, renaming, or other significant change
• Non-residential Places must be meaningful to the general public
• Gas prices cannot be moderated, they can only be entered via the app

With all the new zoom levels being planned, clicking the +/- to go up/down in zoom gets very tiring. This suggestion is to add a "Manual" number input field between the + and - to

a) display the zoom level (instead of using a tooltip) - disadvantage of tooltip is you have to hover your cursor over the zoom control

b) allow you to manually input the number you want the zoom to jump to. For example, you are at zoom level 20. You want to get to zoom level 12. Instead of clicking - 8 times, you type "12" into the field, and WME automatically jumps to that zoom level.
