Route of Last Resort RTC
Ability to create an RTC (or TBSR) that will permit routing on the segment as a last resort (effectively make it a PR from a penalty perspective).
This would be very helpful for soft construction closures that are marked "local traffic only"
72 votesThanks to all who submitted and voted on this suggestion! It has been added to our backlog.

Disable segment geometry snapping
We see some changes to geometry handles in WME, so here is another suggestion to improve it even more.
Why do we still have the road snapping behavior if two roads can't intersect together? This behavior is annoying when you try to edit an interchange with multiple intersecting segments, but the editor's snapping concept interferes with you.

Real Speed in WME
It would be nice if one could specify the real speed in WME. The official speed limit is sometimes much higher than the real speed one can drive on certain roads (road condition, etc). Having these too high speeds results in incorrect route calculations. One could say that the algorithm should fix this, but that doesn’t seem to happen and one gets slower routes offered, based on incorrect info. Tools from the competition offer an option to enter real speeds.

events not visible
please let editors of all levels see events. Not seeing them leads to duplication and wasted time. Low-level editors like me can easily duplicate events just because they can't see existing ones. And by seeing existing one, locals might have additional ideas as to closures and such.

Allow all user levels to report closed or roadworks on map editor
I'm a level 1 map editor and when driving due to UK Law changes we can no longer use the phone while stopped, it would be an idea to add reporting of road closures roadworks etc, under the map editor similar to the points of interest when we get to our destination via a computer or the Waze app using a pinpoint.

Fill place data with linked Google place data if those are blank in WME
I often create a place and link Google place to it first to see/verify the address etc. Feels like very dumb double work when at least the name/city/address is in that linked Google place already, it would be very nice if WME could pull those from that entry when linking it and autofill those IF the corresponding fields are empty in place properties. And of course those must remain editable after that also.

Correct the spelling of Marina del Rey, CA
Correct the spelling of Marina del Rey (California) in association with the 90 freeway. It is incorrectly spelled as Marina del Ray currently. It should be Marina del Rey.

Improve error message for incorrect password
Whenever one tries to login into the editor (or any other site) and the password is incorrect, the error message is: "Something went wrong. Try again". It is suggested to add: "Check the Caps Lock and the Keyboard language setting". An even better idea is not to allow insertion of non-English letters, and warn the user while typing the password, and warn for all capital letters when the user clicks on Log in.

Allow applying A->B closures on B->A segments (and vice versa)
When selecting a one-way segment with a closure, and another segment without a closure, it is currently possible to select "Apply on all" to extend the closure to the second segment.
This only works if the second segment has the same one-way direction of the first segment.
When a segment with an A->B/B->A closure is selected, add a new option "Apply closure in any direction", which applies the currently selected closure as "both" on all additional selected segments.

Symbol for Restrictions that repeat annually
Currently, the restrictions that are repeated annually are indicated as those that have expired with the yellow triangle.
It would be very useful to differentiate the restrictions that have actually expired from those that are not currently active but are repeated annually.9 votes -
Rearrange RoadShields by moving the boxes with the mouse.
It would be really great, if we could move RS on WME. It's really tedious when you have to delete RS and search again just to change the order of them. How great would it be if we could rearrange the different RoadShield boxes by moving them with the mouse.

Cropping tool for attached images
While adding images from the editor is a bad idea, it could be useful to have the ability to crop images. This could allow generally good image to be improved and kept instead of removed.

UR Reply via Email
This is slightly outside the scope of WME Beta, but in general about our ability to provide a better service for end users.
Allow users to reply to URs via email. Many support systems allow this, and in most cases, the process is fairly simple. The process might be as follows:
- User submits a request/issue from the app while they drive
- We (editors) get a pin on the map with submitted details as before
- User gets an email with a unique response email address (something like 8766123133@requests.waze.com)
- User gets instructions on how to view the map issue they submitted

262 votesHey jangliss,
Thank you very much for this detailed suggestion.
Currently there is a lot of work around communication between the WME and the client (the app), to find how best should be handled.We will do our best to share some more details about it in the near future.
At this point this is currently not planned, and therefore won’t move to our back log.
If any thing in this direction will be changed, we will update accordingly.
Best,

Receive reminder when closure will expire soon
The ability when adding a closure to select a checkbox to receive a reminder notification a couple days before expiry would be really useful. Sometimes when adding closures we do not know when the road will reopen, so the closure is set for a week or a month. So it would be great to know when these closures are about to expire so we can check and extend the closure if needed.

Permit Alphanumeric Prefix in RPP HN
App users can create RPPs with alphanumeric prefixes but WME allows neither the creation, nor editing of RPPs containing them.
Suggest at least allowing N, S, E, W prefixes on HN portion of an RPP to pass checks on save.
In Wisconsin, a large part of the state's addresses use alphanumeric HNs.

Manual input for zoom level
With all the new zoom levels being planned, clicking the +/- to go up/down in zoom gets very tiring. This suggestion is to add a "Manual" number input field between the + and - to
a) display the zoom level (instead of using a tooltip) - disadvantage of tooltip is you have to hover your cursor over the zoom control
b) allow you to manually input the number you want the zoom to jump to. For example, you are at zoom level 20. You want to get to zoom level 12. Instead of clicking - 8 times, you type "12"…

Who drive around the cities all the time. I my self have tried to navigate around cities .with low bridges.. and it's no fun ...you truckies will know what I mean

Routes in a Junction Box should have different gradients of colors
When selecting a segment entering a Junction Box all possible routes are shown with a green color when the route is valid and red when it is invalid/forbidden. These routes can be mixed and sharing the same segment. To see which segments belong to specific routes the editor must hover the mouse pointer to the exiting arrow. The idea here is to be able to visualize without doubt each route (for instance, when sharing the JB screenshot)

[Request] Allow to make streets two way temporarily
Allow to make streets two way temporarily, like closures, but the other way around.
Sometimes construction works require you to open another street and turns. And you cannot do this in time by editing map. You can close the streets, but you cant OPEN the streets for some time. I mean one way or with restricted turns.
So we need an option to temporarily bypass one way setting and closed turns penalty. This may be called Openers :)By: Olestas

Touristic Routes...
Touristic Routes
In my country, Portugal, as in almost all countries, we have beautiful places to visit, cities to see and, for that, among the various means of transport that we can access, of course, the motor vehicle is one of them... and for that, you need a road to drive...
When we are on vacation for example, we want to go and visit these places and we map routes, marking it in a diary (or something similar) what we want to visit and see...
In WME, some of these routes could be defined by the editors, be pre-defined and…
