  2. Avoid ZTL (Italy), Limited Traffic Zone.

    There's only "Add ZTL pass" option, but it would be nice to be able to select "Avoid ZTL".

  3. Ability to change map from dark to light setting on car play

    For long drives on highways when you have your headlights on during the daytime. You should be able to toggle between dark mode and light mode on the car play screen of the car as you are not allowed to touch your phone while driving. It only needs to be a simple toggle bar of light-dark

  4. copy/paste for turn closures / RTC on turns

    new turn closures feature in WME:
    We need a copy/paste feature for turn closures

    If you have to setup more than one turn closure, you have to enter description, start/stop date, start/stop time and MTE every single time.
    On a closed segment next to a T junction you have to set 4 turn closures, on a + junction 6 times.

    Why is it better to close e.g. 4 turns than the segment?
    If the segment is closed Waze will route you the node that is closer to your destination. Maybe this is the closed junction you don't wanna go through.…

  5. New road type needed between ST to OR

    Passive road type

    Passive mean the penalties attribute doesn't need to use unpaved option.
    And MAY use penalties state similar to PLR

    Most of the road actually vehicles worthy but not qualified as Street (ST) or Off-road/Not maintained (OR supposed for 4X4)

    Most of it drivable and may be the most important route for local or user that knew the road.

    Why this passive RT needed? Majority of user not even know the unpaved switch exists,
    so do to differentiate the unpaved segment shown in apps, this creates complexity for the user to use Waze very well.
    Even with unpaved…

  6. Boton de Panico Por Inseguridad

    Nuestro pais sufre constantes ataques del crimen organizado, es imperativo poder saber y determinar las zonas y lugares donde este aconteciendo algo de este tipo, por nuestras familias debemos de hacer algo, ya que el gobierno es muy lento para informar.

  7. 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.

  8. Add passes or permits at driving prohibited restrictions

    Currently, WME can only select passes or permits under the following rules in the restriction of roads
    -Driving is “allowed” for
    -Driving is “toll free” for

    We suggest that passes or permits can also be selected for the following rules
    -Driving is “prohibited” for

    This change would allow local rules in your country to be applied even in local countries that do not have their own passes or permits.

    For example, in Japan, there are some public roads that cannot be passed due to motorcycle engine displacement. By setting passes or permits for prohibited rules, local rules can be incorporated…

  9. Add App reports feature to web interface

    It would be good to be able to add the reports function currently available in the app also to the web interface. This way, dispatchers, emergency services etc. could also add reports on disruptions through the web without having to physically be at the issue location.

  10. Favorite locations

    It would be useful if the user could save his favorite locations. This facility exists in Google maps and is completely missing from Waze.

  11. Skipping Fuel Stations

    If a user adds a stop on their route at a fuel station on the highway but exits earlier, for example, to visit a different fuel station and then returns to the highway, the app could ask: "It looks like you've already visited a fuel station. Would you like to remove the pin from the selected station?"

    اقتراح طرق توفر وقت وكلفة الوقود، بحيث ينطيك أفضل طريق يجنبك الزحمة ويقلل من استهلاك الوقود.

    تحليل الطلب حسب المناطق: يبين لك مناطق معينة يكون الطلب على التكسي بيها عالي خلال فترات معينة، مثل مناطق الأسواق بالأوقات الصباحية أو مناطق الترفيه بالليل.

    حساب دخل يومي تقديري: على أساس المسافات وعدد المشاوير، حتى يعطيك صورة تقريبية عن دخلك خلال اليوم.

    ميزة الأمان للسواقين: مثل خاصية الطوارئ أو زر لإرسال موقعك لجهات اتصال موثوقة إذا تعرضت لأي حالة طارئة.

    أعتقد هذه الإضافات راح تكون مفيدة وتخلي التطبيق أكثر فائدة للسواقين اللي يعتمدون عليه بشكل يومي.

  14. Show name of editor on expired closures

    The new status of real time closures in WME is good. It would even be better if we can see who the editor was who set the closure when the closure is expired; now this is not possible. That way you can liaise with the editor if a UR comes in relating to that closure.

  15. Edit review still limited

    Sometimes this new feature is available on Level 1, other simple editing like add new streets, rename some of them, turn up indications are not available and just after doing all the work, it ends up with, "That change isn't allowed at this time and won't be sent for review" or something....
    And that is a lost of time, please keep going with edit reviews but somehow avoid these messages.

    Thank you a lot.

  16. Have small arrows on the road

    The same way when you’re on the highway you have an arrow indicating a Lane, would be great if you had this option on all streets, (have multiple arrows, each resembling amount of lanes on private roads and highways in those directions) at the same time would need to make the app available to be zoomed in a little bit more, see those smaller details, and it could and will be a big help in certain scenarios. For example: if someone was never in a certain city, and pulling up to a street where it has a turning lane, lane…

  17. Speed limit visibility

    When you pass the speed limit, for example riding a motorcycle, it becomes very difficult to read the actual speed.The speed indicator should be bigger, and when you traspass it, it shold have more contrast. I simply can´t see it on my phone. Maybe, as an option, the user could set the size and color of theese thins on screen. Thanksss

  18. Delayed Caused by Trains

    It would be nice to know when a train is stuck on the railways or there is a delay caused by trains. I sometimes end up in the longest traffic jam. Just to realize the train isn't over a certain section of road further down the other intersections. If it could suggest an alternate route or tell us "Rail road traffic jam reported up ahead"

  19. Refer to turn closure from adjoining segment's closure list

    RTC on turns are only visible in the "edit turn" infobox and with a small icon on the node. It would be great if the closure list of adjoining segments would contain a referral to the existence of this turn closure (possibly with a shortcut to edit this turn / turn closure). Could be as simple as "1 turn closure active" or something like that.

  20. Add a gradient border to Editing Areas based on age.

    For lower rank editors and those that tend to travel, it would be helpful to add a 1-3 pixel gradient border, likely at a 50% transparency level around each editing area based on the age of the area. I propose the gradient go from green to red for expiring edit areas and 50% grey for any LAM/AM areas for differentiation.

    I know that it would be beneficial for me to have that visual representation as I patrol the EA in WME that I gain each Northern Hemisphere summer that I drive around the USA.
