Country Manager
The Country Manager should be a local editor as we know the changes to the road, we are driving in the country, not a foreigner using satellite images to edit the map.
Some accidents are caused by drivers heavily depending on waze at night as they know its updated but now its not .

Select entire street also by any of its alternative names
In some cases, it would be helpful to select an entire street not by its main name, but by one of the alternative names that it may have.
For instance, here in Portugal we have a big mountain area where it is needed to apply recurrent road closures due to bad weather (heavy snow). Because road closures are carried out by the authorities in perfectly delimited areas, the Portuguese community decided to put exactly the same name on ALL roads of a same area, even if the real street name is a different one. By doing this, the option ‘Select…

Multiple entry points
Waze should re-enable its multiple entry points feature (eg one side of building or another).
Instead of using the first entry point, Waze users should be directed to the one that’s marked as the main point in the editor.

Temporary driving directions (roadworks/ rerouting)
Temporary driving directions visible directly on the live map such as closures and that temporarily override the set driving direction in WME. This would be useful for one-way streets where there is a temporary reversal of driving direction due to roadwork or rerouting.

Add "follow my route" for routes we know are faster than suggested.
Add "follow my route" for routes we know are faster than suggested. You can record the route from the suggested route, then compare analytics, eco, mileage at the end destination; and share a recommended route change.

A desktop app for WME
We have a webapp as our WME. But, at least in my experience, it is very buggy sometimes and consumes lots of RAM. I believe there should be a desktop app (mind you, not just a iframe in a exe, but a quality app) since it would be faster, snappier and easier. Regarding extensions -- I think they should be a part of the WME, not just a addon. It simply doesn't make sense to have to install dozends of extensions to have a better environment if it could be integrated.

Emergency vehicle specific routing
Emergency vehicle specific mode. I suggest creating an emergency, or non-emergency mode, which takes into account the physical size and weight of an emergency vehicle along with handling characteristics and a local jurisdicitons guidelines for how emergency vehicles can and should be operated.
These are then used to feed you directions that are ideal for your emergency vehicle taking into account shortcuts, restricted access routes etc.

Filter issues as self reported issues
Filtering own comments/reports/issues Sometimes I mark some issue with the purpose of editing it. But I'm not always able to find it again.

Provide helpful suggestions when showing a save error
When you display a save error in WME, please give us helpful suggestions on how to resolve the issue, not just a generic "check and try again." Check what? What are we looking for? How do we fix it? What is "modifying GuidanceMode? What are CS Lanes? Saying "Check and try again" doesn't help.
Example:
Modifying GuidanceMode is allowed only for CS Lanes
Suggestion: Check and try again12 votes -
Disable segment geometry changes in House Number mode
When in the "Edit House Numbers" mode, the Editor allows changes to segment geometry, but then generates an error when saving the changes. It is very easy to unknowingly edit segment geometry when trying to move a house number stop point. When this occurs, any HNs edited after that geometry change need reverted.
Please disable segment geometry changes when in HN mode.

Remove Search Disable At Zoom Levels Less Than 12
It's annoying with the recent implementation of disabling the search bar at zoom levels less than 12 (1 - 11). In places where I'm trying to find a particular location because a city name is repeatedly multiple times in the state I end up having to zoom out to see major roads and match the map up with the DOT reports for mapping closures. Once the zoom level is less than 12 the search feature is disabled so I have to zoom back in just so I can search for the next item on the list.

"Show on map" in UR should zoom in to UR itself, not to its route
It happens rather often: when I open a UR and click "Show on map", WME zooms in, but the UR isn't visible. I need to zoom out 1-2 levels in order to see the UR and then zoom in to it manually.
I guess, the algorithm of WME calculates the "Show on map" point basing on the user's route. But the user saw the problem in the point of the report, so WME should zoom in to it.

Emergency Closures and Events/accident reporting
Allow users to add more than one section of road to a road closure.
It would be good if emergency closures would show up in the app to influence driving directions, and if we could report closures longer than one section of road.
I was driving somewhere on the weekend, and there'd been a fatal accident on the Highway at 2 am, but Waze still told me to drive using that section of the highway.
When I looked the accident had been reported on the app hours before I left, and there were comments on the accident about what sections…

The Ability to add truck restricted routes so drivers do not get tickets.
As a truck driver, there are routes that are restricted to NO truck traffic. I have received tickets because I was not aware. Late at night it would nice to know if route is restricted because sometimes you cannot see posted signs until it is too late. It is too difficult to safely turn a big truck around past that point...

Improve PopUp in closures
Hi, im thinking in the posibility to include popup with Pic or Image when we creates a closure or Wazer (N3+) add image to existent closure, i mind, if i Drive with Waze app and that shows pics or photograpy about reason of closures, that helps to Wazers to know the reason and to us (like editors) to keep actualized and clear ending closures.
Thanks for all!
Happy Xmass, and a Happy New Year
