  1. Add icon for roadworks with traffic-light controlled one-way

    Add a new kind of roadworks notification (like the same icon as the one currently used for roadworks but with a little traffic light) for those that have a traffic to make the road one-way.

    It'd be great to know in advance to avoid a road where there are multiple of these.

  2. Add oblique imagery (birds eye view) from GMaps to WME

    To allow editors a more comprehensive view of an area and to provide an additional data layer of imagery, use the already-available oblique imagery from GMaps in WME.

    Oblique imagery allows for a 360° view of a location so we would need a new icon to allow for cycling around the 4 'quadrants' of the imagery.

  4. Allow editing geometry of segments with permanent hazards (PHs)

    Currently, if a segment has a PH, it automatically becomes non-editable by lower level editors, even if they would normally be able to edit a given segment, had there been no PH on that segment. This prevents an editor from continuing, and requires intervention from a senior level editor.

    The only way around it, is to remove the entire segment with a PH and add it again, in order to continue fixing geometries. However, there is a big downside to this approach, that it also removes added HNs.

    One could isolate the PH, by sub-dividing the segment into three segments,…

  5. Add keyboard shortcut for Permanent Hazard Direction

    At the moment, the UX isn't very user-friendly when it comes to selecting the direction for Permanent Hazards. We have to choose between A/B without actually seeing where A or B are..! 🙄

    A/B are displayed only when segments is selected, but hazard direction can only be adjusted when hazards themselves are selected.

    Since we already have a shortcut to 'Toggle segment direction', could we extend this functionality to Hazards as well?

    Link to the original discussion: https://www.waze.com/discuss/t/new-feature-alert-permanent-hazards-now-available-in-wme-all-environments/350757/36

    Il m’est déjà arrivé de conduire sur l’autoroute et de croiser une voiture qui roulait à contresens. C’était extrêmement dangereux et j’ai dû réagir rapidement. Dans ce genre de situation, une alerte immédiate de Waze (sonore et visuelle) aurait pu prévenir tous les conducteurs autour pour qu’ils redoublent de vigilance.

  9. Please add sign icons for national and prefectural roads in Japan.

    In Japan, there are road signs that show the numbers of national and prefectural roads. All major apps, including Google Maps, support this display, except for Waze, which does not support it.

  10. Waze map Editor

    Good Evening, Im from latin America and genuinely love Waze and th Waze map editor system, but I really think that the number of high level map editors that can make actual and meaningful changes is very close to none. Also I think that being a level one editor leaves you with very small options on how to better the experience to everyone, even though most of the level one editors are mostly people who saw a problem and joined just to get it fixed, adding to this the way a low level editor can add suggestions is not easy…

  13. Solving Waze map issues and user levels

    It would be great to be able to assist in solving issues by being able to see the issues at your Wazer level and higher. I have been trying to help, but it takes ages to find where to help and give up as I have an insufficient level (one). The filtering lock doesn't work. And my areas saved are way out of date and can help further distances but no way to update. Thanks, Wazers!

  14. Allow editors to view restrictions (view only) regardless of their lock level.

    Allow editors to view segment restrictions (view only) regardless of their lock level. This would be informative and a learning tool as to how advanced editors set up segment restrictions correctly.

  16. Include temporary settings like HOV route selection in UR information

    Relatively recently we got the ability to see some app settings in user reports. What we can't see are temporary settings like whether or not an HOV route was selected. It would be helpful to surface any information available that does not compromise anonymity.

  18. Two-Way Traffic Ahead Permanent Hazard

    This permanent hazard would warn users that the road they are travelling on transitions from one-way to two-way traffic. This would not be used for sections of road where traffic gives way to oncoming traffic temporarily (see the suggestion for Narrow Road Permanent Hazard), but instead for roads that are one-way only for a distance and suddenly transition to two-way, as to warn the user that there will be oncoming traffic.

    • Ex 1: Drivers heading south on the one-way must be in the right lane to continue onto the two-way road, where traffic from the opposing two-way direction does…

  20. Map problem - send an automatic email to the last editor

    when a new MP is created it should be interesting by sending an email automatically to the last editor of the segment about the error. It should helps editors on checking their own errors.
