  2. Advance warning for speed limit changes

    I drive a tracked vehicle, I need to be at the new speed limit before passing the signs. ie, 60mph dropping to 40mph, if the signs are hidden round the corner, I need to brake harder to slow down in time.

    Would it be possible to have either a visible marker on the moving map to display the different speed limit up ahead, or a warning pop up maybe 200yds in advance?

  4. Put a "Select enter street' button in the Closures tab

    The button/link exists in the General tab of the left sidebar. Can we please have the same button/link/function duplicated in the Closures tab?

  5. UR Menu - tooltip

    The UR menu breaks off URs with a long category. This has the effect that you cannot see in the menu when it was last updated, and you have to open the UR for that. So I suggest to make a tooltip for those URs, or alternatively make it 2 lines instead of one.

  6. Add keyboard shortcuts for handling of URs

    Another suggestion related to "mark as solved" and "mask as non identified" actions is now in the backlog.
    Those actions are frequently made when handling URs, and would deserve shortcuts:
    - "Send" (sending a comment)
    - selecting the comment area (allowing to start typing a comment)
    - closing the window of the UR (perhaps via the ESC key)

  8. Change color of nature from pink to a color that matches the feature

    Sometimes when being zoomed in to the map and working with different nature features such as water or forest, it is hard to see what is what. Would it be possible to make water a blue color instead of the pink color and forest green instead of pink?

  9. Automatically create shapes for nature areas such as water or forrest

    When adding certain nature-related areas such as water for ponds, lakes, etc., and forests it takes a lot of time and clicking to get them in place. It would be useful if we could point to an area and the map editor looked at that area, e.g., a lake, and then automatically create a shape from the contours of the nature feature. Then we could adjust it manually if needed before saving.

  10. Add checkboxes to flag unusable/inaccessible gas stations

    Editors occasionally find angry URs from drivers who couldn't use or reach stations listed in their gas-station finder. For example, a substantial fraction of drivers -- the majority? -- cannot use non-gasoline fuel, cardlocked stations, military-only stations, or private stations located inside secure installations. Many cannot use members-only stations, such as Costco in the US.

    One way to prevent these misroutings would be to add checkboxes for limited-audience gas stations, for example as follows. The app could then let drivers opt in as desired.

    In WME, the list might read:
    - Military only
    - Members only
    - Non-gasoline fuels only…

  11. Junction box, add ability to demand a pass or mark as private for specific route

    Junction box is still evolving so it would be good to add one more feature to it. We have situations where driving through a longer section of road is only permitted with certain conditions but driving to an address in between or to drive across the affected street from different direction is always allowed.

    Thinking about a possibility that those conditions could be set as a pass and then apply it only to specific route in junction box. This could probably also be used in a way that you could set a specific route to be private road in routing,…

  13. Event based restrictions

    Sometimes for major events and after major emergencies (wildfires, hurricanes, flooding) there are roads that are open to residents but not to the general public.

    I would suggest something that can be applied like a real time closure, but acts more like setting the road to private so it allows routing onto the segment but not through the segment.

    This may be related to Permanent Hazards instead, but however it is implemented it should not require a tile update.

  15. Diversion recommended by the road manager due to a closed road

    It could be beneficial to add one or more diversions for a closed road. I'm referring to the diversions implemented by road managers in case of construction work, for example. These diversions would help guide drivers onto 'safe' roads rather than small roads that are not suitable for heavy traffic

  17. Off road / Unmaintained road should not have the unpaved option

    The "Off-road / Unmaintained road" type is almost always unpaved, and in cases where it is paved, it is not to be treated as paved. Thus the "Unpaved" attribute of such a segment is not needed. Moreover, it may sometimes cause an unwanted route when there are some segments that have the unpaved attribute whereas some don't have that attribute.
    I suggest removing that attribute from that type of segment.

  18. Allow easier editing of new addresses with homes facing the "wrong way"

    Our development is a cul-de-sac with addresses that won't save in the map editor because the homes are all side-facing. This makes it difficult to share the address with guests if they aren't able to navigate there. Please allow all editors the ability to add their homes to the map.Thanks!

  20. Allow Waze to access Google location history

    Especially for new editors, it would be handy to be able to let Waze read your Google location history (or have a way to import it manually) so that it can use that to establish your "area". You wouldn't technically be allowing people to expand their "areas" to places they haven't already been, just giving Waze a second source of data to look at. As a new editor in a US state that is more on the rural side, this would be quite handy, as my area currently represents a small portion of the "area" I'm familiar with and this…
