1. Accept and reject individual suggestions in PUR

   Problem summary:

   The workflow for place update requests (PUR) is clunky and confusing. We can reject or approve only - yet two or three of the five suggestions might be useful while the others not. After clicking on a PUR for the first time, it is also unclear what is new, changed or deleted.

   User story:

   I clicked on a PUR pending changes for an existing venue and this is what was displayed:

   https://i.imgur.com/CWTE6Jl.png

   • It is not apparent what the proposed changes are. I do not know if everything listed is new, changed (e.g. typo fixed) or a proposed deletion.
   • The only option I have is to reject or accept, but I might want to reject one suggested change only.
   • After I accept all changes, there is no prompt on the interface what fields changed. I cannot easily undo a single field change.

   Proposal:

   • Make it clear what has been added, edited and deleted in the PUR. Use "history" for inspiration: https://i.imgur.com/DLLsnqr.png
   • Allow us to accept/reject each item that is added, edited or deleted in the PUR. Again, use "history" for inspiration but add a tick and cross to inspire a design: https://i.imgur.com/UBUBbSa.png
   • Consider utilising the existing merge venue functionality and enhancing it: https://i.imgur.com/tcTJDio.png

2. Setting to have vertical menu item selected when opening

   I often times use scripts or change settings before making my first edit. It would be useful to have the option to have WME open with a specific element of the vertical menu selected. That may be any of the options available, but Feed/Issue Tracker and Scripts would be my most likely to use first.

3. Change Forum Sharing Option autofill

   When an editor uses the forum sharing options, new editors are consistently adding the wrong lock level to their request.

   For example, the current Unlock Request automatically fills in the following information:
   Hi Editors,

   I would like to be able to edit the following segment(s).
   Your help would be greatly appreciated.

   Permalink: https://waze.com/en-US/editor?env=usa&lat=29.63406&lon=-104.27920&zoom=5&segments=516527406
   Reason:
   Unlock to level:

   Thank you in advance,
   The "reason" and "unlock to level" kind of blend in.

   My suggestions would be to automatically fill in the current lock level of the selected objects and the rank of the editor making the request for the "unlock to level" information

   As a sample:
   Hi Editors,

   I would like to be able to edit the following segment(s).
   Your help would be greatly appreciated.

   Reason:

   Permalink: https://waze.com/en-US/editor?env=usa&lat=29.63406&lon=-104.27920&zoom=5&segments=516527406

   "Unlock from level 5 to level: 1" (autofilled based off object level and editor rank)

   Thank you in advance,

   NOTE: If the editor happens to select multiple objects with multiple lock levels, you can use the highest lock for the request.
   i.e. 3 segments are L3 and 1 segment is L4 and editor is L2
   "Unlock from level 4 to level: 2"

   Thanks for your consideration

5. Use RTC history to create new RTC on the same segments

   It would be very convenient to be able to re-create a RTC based on the RTC history for one or more segments. This would also require being able to choose to select all segments that were included in the original RTC, as well as optionally proposing start / end times.

   Two use case examples:

   1) Recurring RTCs where the schedule is not known far in advance

   For example, there is nightly road construction on a given highway, but this may not repeat every night for various reasons. The actual closure is only published a few hours before, and so requires editors to scramble to implement it. This feature would save quite a bit of time.

   2) Recently expired RTC

   For example, an editor closes a road for a few hours after a major accident, but the closure actually lasts longer than expected. In order to quickly re-create the expired closure, this feature could be used.

6. Update Forum Sharing Options type of request

   Originally suggested by LostInMyMaps on my old suggestion.

   When an editor uses the forum sharing options to request an unlock, the type of request is very misleading and confusing.

   Instead of "Request an unlock", it should say something like "Unlock this so I can make the change myself"

   Instead of "Request a map update", it should say something like "Someone else make this change for me"

7. Lines on sections of roads with roundabouts!

   We urgently need to implement the ability to add lanes on sections of roads with roundabouts!
   There are many sections of roads with roundabouts that use multi-lane and different traffic lanes.
   This functionality is severely lacking.

8. Road details

   As we all know, WME is changing its appearance and because of that, many of us complained about the unneeded "empty space" that is everywhere on WME.

   I know that some extra work is being done by staff, in order to please us all the best way possible :) , but something more can be done.

   One suggestion is to use symbols, instead of text, for what I call "road details": Unpaved; Tunnel; Headlights; Next to BUS lane; Beacons.

   This would allow saving some more space and the icons are more or less self-explanatory, being possible to add a text/explanation for each icon by showing some tooltip box on mouseover ...

9. Segment restriction type that prompts user to confirm access (gates)

   Currently we create gates using PR segments. However, this rarely has the intended effect. Those with access (say a gated community) don't get a route through a gate this is most convenient or worse, if all entrances are gated, then restriction is meaningless other than to ensure it's not a through-way.

   I'm suggesting a segment restriction type that would generate a pop-up at start-state of a route asking if the user has access to a segment (gate) if that's the shortest route. Ideally, Waze would remember that for that user in the future. This could potentially be used for restricted locations like military bases, and private parking lots that require some sort of electronic access.

10. Extra click required for approving a PUR

    When approving/rejecting a PUR (new place, new photo, change in details), an extra click is now needed to close the window. Simply clicking approve/reject would close the window, but now you also have to click done to close the window. This wasn't the case until WME v2.109 (released August 2022)

    Screen capture (approving a new place): https://www.dropbox.com/s/v5r8lfe1afe7s5j/purnew.gif?dl=0
    Screen capture (rejecting a new photo): https://www.dropbox.com/s/j6o4anmu6afxay8/purphoto.gif?dl=0

11. Change Forum Sharing Options object types posted in forum

    Currently when an editor uses the Forum Sharing Option to request an unlock, the request ALWAYS says "I would like to be able to edit the following segment(s)." no matter what type of object is selected.

    The request should be automatically based on type of object selected

    If segment(s) selected, no change
    If venue(s) selected, the request should say "I would like to be able to edit the following venue(s)."
    If they have any other type of object selected, the request should say "I would like to be able to edit the following [selected object type]."

12. Allow the WMEb "BETA" indicator to link back to the production WME

    In the latest beta, there is now a [• BETA] indicator in the header. Please consider adding a way to use this indicator as a shortcut back to the production WME.

    Perhap click to open a tab of with the PROD wme at the same spot, and hover+CNTL+C (or right click) to copy a PROD wme permalink.

    We'd like to encourage users to edit the BETA wme as much as possible, but when collaborating or posting to public forums, we should make it as easy as possible to share PROD permalinks.

13. Ability to select long stretches of road

    A feature that would allow defining a start and an end point and which would automatically select the road between them would be very helpful. There is somtimes a need to select a length of road in the tens or even hundreds of kilometres. (The alt-click trick doesn't work for such long distances.)

    Two use case examples:

    1) RTC on long stretch of highway

    There have been several highway closures due to winter storms recently. Selecting the entire road to be closed requires lots of panning and selecting individual segments, which is very time-consuming.

    2) Making changes to long stretches of road

    Example: changing the speed limit, road type, name, etc.

    Great timing! We’re currently working on being able to select long streches of road. Keep an eye out for updates on the WME.

14. Make non-residential place addresses indexed and routable

    Editors spend much time adding RPPs to public places because the addresses in the place points are not indexed/routable and the HNs won't connect to the parking lot roads. Plus if routing uses the Google Maps address we spend more time handling URs because the Wazer got routed to the back of the location rather than the front door. This is an absurd waste of time, and adds untold complexity and clutter to the map. Please expand the place addresses to allow for suite numbers or other identifiable info where businesses share the same basic as GM already does, and then make these addresses indexed and routable. This would eliminate a huge amount of editor frustration, not to mention freeing up a huge amount of time that can be used for other needed editing. If Waze is unwilling to create an indexed and routable database for non-residential place addresses then let's just use GM's database and fix the location errors in it.

15. In WME: Force L1 & L2 editors to be "visible"

    To actively follow the edits of new editors in WME, it would be helpful to force them to be "visible." This would be limited to L1 and L2 editors. Perhaps this could be incorporated as part of the new L1 edits approval process.

17. Prompt user to save Lane changes if deselecting segment

    After editing Lanes, it's far too easy to lose the changes by accidentally deselecting the selected segment you are editing if you don't apply the changes beforehand.

    This suggestion is to recognise that changes have been made in Lanes (or road width), and prompt the user to apply or cancel the changes if they deselect the segment they are editing.

18. Include setting details in user reports

    Part of the challenge in handling reports is getting details from the reporting user. The following information should be available to editors to better handle reports with less need to request information from the Wazer:
    Avoid toll roads
    Avoid difficult intersections
    Avoid freeways
    Unpaved roads setting
    Passes added
    Vehicle type

    Basically anything that affects the route suggested by Waze.

    Great timing! We’re currently working on adding a hotkey for map suggestion. Keep an eye out for updates on the WME.

20. Add closed map suggestions count to profile page

    It'd be great if you could track how many map suggestions you have closed. You can already see your closed UR, PUR, and MP counts on your profile page so it would be great if closed map suggestions could also be added.

    Here is a simple mockup I made of what that could look like: https://i.imgur.com/XajOINK.png
