Allow addition of new traffic signal or stop sign where one did not previously exist.
Allow editors to add a new traffic signal or stop sign. Allow alert similar to RR crossing sound. Set alert to expire 30-45 days after signal or stop sign is put into service.

No feedback provided if permalink is unable to select items
Currently there is no feedback given if one or more items are not selected when opening a permalink (i.e segments, places, URs, etc.).
For instance, I have a document with PLs of segments that are always closed during events (such as stadiums). If a segment ID is changed and therefore no longer linked in the PL, I have no way of easily knowing this.
Please consider providing some sort of warning if WME is unable to locate all the linked items.

Provide the option for police reporting to have a "in median" option that would notify both directions of travel on a road with a median
Provide the option for police reporting to have a "in median" option that would notify both directions of travel on a road with a median that there are police activity or police speed traps in the center of two roads that are separated by a median. If someone only reports it on one side then the other side won't be notified. Has happened to me numerous times, especially on state roads/highways/interstates with larger car width or larger medians.

Place Hours: Sunrise to Sunset
When adding Places, especially outdoor places (such as parks, playgrounds, beaches, etc), there are often posted hours saying the Place is open only sunrise to sunset, or conversely that the Place is closed sunset to sunrise. Unfortunately, the existing Place hours interface doesn't allow for these kinds of hours, only HH:mm times. As sunrise and sunset times change constantly, and in some places drastically due to orbital motion of the earth and time changes due to daylight savings times, it is impractical to estimate open/closing times using HH:mm formats.
It would be beneficial to both app users and map editors…

In the APP: Allow continued writing after selecting a suggestion when writing addresses.
When typing in the app, you suggest what i want to write below the input box. That's all fine, except if i select one of your suggestions it doesn't let me continue writing (rather, it uses the selected option directly). This is very frustrating since most of the times your suggestion is only almost correct (lacking house number, etc). It would be much better if your suggestion filled the input box and then let me continue writing before using the selection.

giving User’s ability to include images with there reports
Hi,
I think it is good to give users the advantage of including images, whether by taking them through the app or fetching them from their gallery, as you know that the images explain a lot without the need for words, which is almost non-existent that the reporter responds after his report.thank you!

Show lanes configuration even if not in editable area
The lanes tab contains the number of lanes and the lanes associated to each turn, including far turns. This is necessairy for adding lanes but also for ckecking them them.
If an editor has no permission to edit lanes on a segment, he only sees the total number of lanes and the lane configuration as a whole.
This also happens when the segment is not inside one's editable area.The problem is, this way it's not possible for editors to discuss or check a certain lane configuration together if this is outside of the editable area.
So please show the…

service roads
Would love to have a button to correct that you are driving on the service road and not the highway or the reverse way.

Photos in URs
Enable Wazers to add photo and video attachments to their URs from the phone or live map. Photos of intersections would enable editors to solve problems more quickly, especially in rural areas where street view is sparse.
Currently, some northeastern states let users send media via email, including the editor’s username in the subject line. This alternative would be easier for users and editors.
Ideally, if a user sends inappropriate media, then the editor can forward it to their RC in-app and have them review. Then, the RC could decide next steps.
Under this system, if a photo/video has illegal…

Gas station service level
Enable editors to add gas station type (self-service, full-service, or either) when adding or modifying a gas station.
On the client side, users should be able to select a preference for self-service or full-service in Settings > Gas stations. In most areas of the US, users don't know the service type until they reach the station.

Turn highlight
Currently a turn is highlighted when you hover over it in the LG menu. But if you then click the turn to change it, the highlight disappears when selecting a different arrow icon. Please keep the highlight when the mouse moves over the dropdown.

set none as default when selecting an event for real-time closures
Most of the closures I add to the map (95%) need no traffic event associated with them because this is a minor use case.
Now I still have to click the event field and select none manually every single time which takes unnecessary effort and time. In the meantime I could have added other closures.
Therefore,, it would be a huge improvement if none was pre-selected.
27 votesThanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

Feature to Report Police sighted driving on-road
This feature is similar to the already existing police reporting feature. The ability to report on route (driving) police vehicles will allow drivers to be more aware on the road, as well as reduce the number of accidents caused by speeding, mobile device usage, and/or other distractions and activities.

Añadir editores en UR
A veces es necesario involucrar otro editor en un UR, yo normalmente envío el PL y le contacto por el foro, chat, etc... ¿sería posible enviarle el UR al editor directamente desde el UR con algún comentario?

Limites velocidas estandares España
En España hay unos limites estandar, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 110, 120, creo que sólo esos, pero no sé porqué el editor permite números no usados (p.e. 82 o 17), se podría hacer un desplegable simplificando y algún "otro" para poner el número exacto.

Different Street Names for Different Side
WME should consider allowing editors to add street names and towns that apply along only one side of the street (instead of select one name as an alt name. Along town lines, street names can change from one side to the other. This would also eliminate the need to place residential place points on one side.
