Add shortcut to the panel
In my opinion, it would be very useful to add shortcuts next to the possible actions in the panel, so that by seeing them often, editors could remember them better and use them more frequently.
You can see an example here https://drive.google.com/file/d/1EDSybQCFW-2n-if12sFXVMXC6Zkef4UV/view?usp=drivesdk44 votes -
Include Permanent Hazard (PH) changes in segment history
Currently, when a Permanent Hazard (PH) is added or updated in a segment, no record is created in the segment's history.
Ideally, changes to their attributes should be tracked, but for now, recording when they are added or updated would be very helpful.

Additional verification options in WME
I need additional options for verification in WME.
For example:
1) Code in SMS message to the registered number
2) Code in voice call to the registered number
3) Verification with another device (like Google verification even from a device in offline mode)
As you know, these options do not reduce the level of security and are not difficult to implement. Any of the additional options would help me a lot. (Yes, it is unusual, but complicated for me via email)Thanks in advance

Associate permanent hazards with a path
When using permanent hazards, they sometimes only apply to some of the traffic on a give segment. An example would be a freeway segment where oncoming traffic from one ramp, and exiting traffic from the freeway merge on a specific segment between on and off ramps. If we add the multiple lanes merging hazard, it will alert for both groups but also all traffic that continues on the freeway even though it does not impact them. Instead, I have it mapped on the on-ramp but not for exiting traffic to alert to this often challenging merge zone.

Low Bridge Permanent Hazards
Looking at the possibility of adding a permanent hazard marker to low bridges E.g 2.0m and under. Some readily available cars are taller than a few bridges in Australia and having the ability that we can set to avoid them instead of having to reroute a potentially (with some areas) a 20 minute detour would be helpful.

WME should indicate when a segment end overlaps but is not connected
Firstly, take a look at this image:
As per the screenshot, these segments are NOT connected but it looks like they are. It should be obvious in WME when segment ends are close but not connected. In this screenshot, the little dot on the green segment looks like there's a junction node there, but in reality, there is not.
Please make it clear that segments aren't connected when they probably should be.

Person on road" to Hazard Reports (On Shoulder)
Currently, there is no specific option to report pedestrians or people walking along the side of the road. When driving on narrow suburban or rural roads that lack sidewalks, encountering people on the shoulder represents a major safety hazard.
Many users currently use the "Animal" or "Object" report as a workaround, but this is neither accurate nor clear for oncoming drivers.
Proposed Solution:
Please add a dedicated "Pedestrian" or "Person on shoulder" sub-option under the Hazard -> On shoulder reporting menu.Why this is useful:
Safety first: It would instantly alert drivers to slow down and pay extra attention, which…

Add “Pedestrian Crossing Zone” Warning in WME Map Editor
💡 Idea Description:
I suggest adding a new warning option in the WME Map Editor named “Pedestrian Crossing Zone” to be used in areas with frequent pedestrian movement, such as:
Local markets and shopping centers
Hospitals and medical facilities
Schools and universities
Parks and recreational areas
In reality, there are visible pedestrian crossing signs in these places, but this warning option does not currently exist in WME. As a result, drivers are not alerted to slow down or pay attention to crossing pedestrians in these locations.
🚗 Importance of the Suggestion:
Adding this warning will help drivers to:
Reduce speed…

Multiple temp road closures = MP
I've had many circumstances where a road has been marked as closed by drivers through the app, but we only discover it around a week later when someone raises a PUR for it.
Is it possible for multiple driver reported closures on the same/adjacent segments to result in a MP or system generated PUR so that it's brought to our attention sooner?
Often these closures are seen on sites such as One.Network, but not pulled through automatically.

WME Client simulator
With each additional functionality on WME (Paths / Far-Lanes / Jubra / Junction box / lanes / ....) gets increasingly difficult to map. This makes it more likely that us map editores will make some kind of mistake or don’t take something into consideration. Having a way to preview the changes before they are live on the map will made both editors and client less frustrated, with a more accurate map.

Show Permanent Hazard edit count on the editor profile page
Currently the editor profile page has the House Number edit count listed twice - the duplicate could be replaced with a total count of edits received from editing all Permanent Hazards. There are lots of hazard types now and editors would enjoy knowing the impact they are making by mapping them!

Map Problems: Detect overlapping segments
It is very difficult to identify two segments with the same elevation that are overlapping but not connected. Until you click them, you don't realise that they are not connected.
This can leads to routing issues and are not identified until there is a UR or by an editor (mostly by chance).
The Checker tool helps identifying these, but it would be really nice if the overlapping segments could be natively flagged by Waze and surfaced as MPs (Map Problems).

WME issues filter
Part of the daily work of map editors is to delete old URs via WME issues filter that have no activity.
Currently there is no way to filter URs older than N days and the only way to filter is to filter from date to date. This requires defining new dates each time and filtering cannot be saved.
The suggestion is to add a filter of "older than N days"22 votes -
Display summary of saved changes for all hazards in WME
In the current state when adding, modifying or removing any hazards (i.e. cameras, railway crossings, sharp curves, speed bumps, complex intersections, multiple lanes merging, toll booths, school zones and traffic lights) in WME, these edits show as pending changes when hovering over the save button.
However, after pressing the save button, the summary of saved changes does not show a summary of hazards added, modified or removed. It only says "saved".
I am suggesting to provide a list of changes made after pressing the saved button in WME.

Suggest an Edit - Accept/Reject to be rank locked by country
We noticed an issue recently where an L2 approved a few suggest an edit of his friend who was L1. While all work was good, I did not know that an L2 could approve suggested edits.
I would like to suggest that this be locked to either
a) Area manager as the minimum requirement as community have given these people an area
OR
b) Lock by country by level (Example India L3 and above can accept or reject a suggestion)16 votes -
Update 'Actionable URs' filter
Update the logic of the 'Actionable URs' filter to show all actionable URs regardless of the number of consecutive comments left by the reporter. The UR should remain in the "Actionable" feed as long as an editor has not yet responded

POI statistics
Hello. It would be a great help and of interest to every community to have click statistics for POIs (points of interest). This would allow for greater attention and care when managing them, and even enable a specific lock level for a given POI based on its search popularity or click rate.

Drawing Major Event Polygon should not select Hazards and cease drawing
While drawing a major event polygon (specific area) should you click near a hazard the polygon drawing stops and you need to start from scratch. Polygons are complex and having to start from scratch is time consuming and frustrating. Drawing other polygons such as Place area or Map Note allows you to continue to draw a polygon.
Hazards are increasing particularly with traffic lights and this issue frequently occurs. You shouldn't need to turn of map layers to simply draw an event polygon.Video here of showing behaviour when drawing a event polygon vs map note or area place.
