2. Add new layers for deleted Places and Segments

   Currently it's impossible to restore (or even review) the Places and Segments, which were deleted. There are simply no traces left and objects are lost for good. (with their history and complexity)

   I suggest to add the new WME layers with deleted Segments and Places.
   That would allow the review of what, when (and by whom) were they deleted with a possibility to recover/undelete those objects. (again, incl. all attributes and history).

3. Project Zone for Large/Difficult Projects

   Sometimes when working on large projects, it is difficult to get the timing with tile updates to make a major project (or even smaller projects) go live at the correct time. Often this is done with adding segment restrictions to new segments, waiting for a TU, then applying an RTC and removing the restriction, so that when it goes live, just the RTC has to be removed. However, this usually only works when what is added is totally new and doesn't require reuse or reconfiguring of previous segments. It is also very difficult during reconfigurations when the project all of a sudden changes over early, or has a last minute delay. If we don't catch it in time, it can require several tile updates to get WME correct, and then wait for it to go live in the app. This is frustrating for editors because it makes deadlines and sudden changes very difficult, and frustrating for drivers getting incorrect instructions.

   My idea is a project mode that allows editors to work on large projects over several days without worrying about breaking routing, messing with current configurations, breaking RTC abilities, etc... all while keeping the behind-the-scenes mess hidden from the drivers using the app. Then, with a push of a button (or a predetermined time), the "project" can be made live in the app. Further details below on potential implementations to prevent concurrency issues while guaranteeing a great experience for editors and drivers.

   1 - How to create a "project": An editor with the required rank (set by regional coordinator) selects the "Project" polygon in WME and then draws a polygon around segments that will be included in the project and gives it a name. I'll refer to this polygon as the project zone from now on. Segments inside the project zone can be any lock level, even higher than the editor that places the project zone. Segment lock restrictions function as normal. Project zones are visible on the map through a "Projects" layer. Any segment that is included in a project zone is flagged as being part of that project, and when selected, it will display which project zone it's a part of. At this point, this segment is locked from editing unless in project mode, similar to the RTC editing lock. A project zone can be expanded to include new segments, but if it's shrunk enough that a segment flagged as included is no longer included, you cannot save. The idea behind this "project zone" is to create a clone of the current status of WME so that changes done do not affect the current tile build.

   2 - Working the project: Just like we can view the previous tile build, there will be an option to view the map as it is now, or view the "project". Any editor of any rank should be able to view the project progress, even if they can't create or modify it. From inside the project mode, you simply edit as normal to the new configuration saving often, not worrying about breaking routing (remember, the current map state is unaffected by this). Once editing is complete, including verifying routing is unbroken, you will "publish" the project to the map. I imagine that every time you save while in construction mode, a check that the edit is allowed and viable is made, but not actually completed. Then, when you publish, the edits are actually published to the map. At this point, even after a tile update, the old configuration is what is used in the app and for routing.

   3 - Making the new configuration live: The previous "publish" button actually will have two options. Publish and keep hidden, or publish immediately. Publishing immediately applies all changes in the project zone to the map, and removes the project zone. It will be live after the next tile update. Publishing and keeping hidden will send all the segments in the next tile update but keep them hidden. How do you ask? Just like RTCs can immediately affect routing and affect the visual appearance, the published but hidden segments are kept invisible on the map and have an RTC applied so that traffic isn't routed on invisible segments. Then, an editor in WME can select the project zone and "switch configuration" on demand or schedule it. Upon switching this configuration, the new configuration goes live instantly in the app by making the new configuration visible without RTCs, and any old segment IDs that were not reused go invisible with RTCs. The project zone remains on the map for 2 weeks or until manually removed by an editor. The editor can switch back to the old configuration instantly if needed, such as with a delay in crossing over.

   4 - In-app experience: Won't be snapped to incorrect segments that have been moved for a new configuration. Won't need to wait days for a configuration to go live in the app, especially in the event of a tile update delay. Able to take advantage of new configuration instantly.

   5 - Benefits to editors: Able to work on big projects in chunks over time. Can start adding or changing something, save to verify that it's a valid change, and continue editing. All without worrying about breaking routing (whereas saving often normally might break routing, or require lots of extra steps). No longer need to cram a large project in between tile updates. No longer needing to hope you're available to make the change on the exact day so that the correct tile update makes it go live, but not too early or too late. You could theoretically work a change weeks in advance. Allows us to still RTC segments from the old configuration while working the project zone.

   6 - Example scenarios:

   6-1: This displaced left turn required lots of steps with time based segment restrictions set to have it open at the correct time. Due to weather, the city announced it was delaying opening it by 2-3 days. This was announced 20 minutes before a tile update that would have set the new configuration in motion. Luckily I was able to catch it and update several time based restrictions. Then, after it was live, I had to go in and clean up turn restrictions and lane guidance that was no longer needed or correct. With a project mode, all the changes would be done well in advance of it going live. Then, set the configuration to change at the correct time. If we spotted it was delayed, simply change the time and date. If we didn't, we could reverse the configuration since the project zone would still be there for up to two weeks after it was changed. https://www.waze.com/en-US/editor/?env=usa&lon=-98.07749&lat=29.72828&zoomLevel=19

   6-2: US-281 is undergoing a major expansion. Editors could work to map new freeways and frontage roads (that are probably a few weeks to a few months from being done) now while keeping the current configuration for the drivers. Then, as soon as it goes live, we can easily switch it. Currently, if we get a heads up it's opening, we'll have to get it all done in one day and hope there are no delays crossing over. If we don't get a heads up, we'll still need to try to cram it into one day so we don't break routing. https://www.waze.com/en-US/editor/?env=usa&lon=-98.44717&lat=29.68590&zoomLevel=14&mapComments=171376937.1714097047.939091

   6-3: Dividing roads. You can save often to verify that you won't receive an error while not worrying about breaking routing. No having to create bowties every few intersections to save. Simply divide as you want, saving with segments halfway complete as you cut and merge, and then once done, publish to map immediately.

   6-4: Any other project that is time consuming where you don't want to complete it in one sitting.

   7 - Closing thoughts: This is obviously a giant ask and would likely be very difficult to include. I've tried to suggest it to where concurrency with other edits won't be an issue because they'll be locked. This is a giant mental work-in-progress, so any improvements to the basic idea are more than welcome.

5. Mark segments as "slip lanes" that delay voice instructions

   At the moment, ramp segments generally delay voice instructions until you have merged or turned onto the segments at the end of the ramp, such as a freeway or highway.

   Australia and some other countries utilise "slip lanes" at some intersections, which is basically a left turn (for countries that drive on the left) that does not use the main intersection.

   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slip_lane

   When a slip lane is mapped on Waze, we usually implement the turn instruction where the driver enters the slip lane, as that is where they need to be told to turn. However, this can mean that Waze gives the next instruction, which may be either nearby or a fair distance away, while the driver is still on the slip lane. At this point the driver may not be able to hear the instruction because they're focusing on watching the traffic so that they can turn, causing them to effectively miss the voice instruction.

   If we could mark a segment on the WME as a "slip lane", this could allow Waze to delay the next voice instruction until the driver has turned onto the next road, in the same way Waze already does with ramp segments. I think this would be a great way to ensure that directions are given at a more ideal time for the driver.

6. Temporary downgrade of own editor level

   I’d like to suggest in the WME a switch (perhaps in the user control panel) for downgrading the own editor level.

   For example:
   If I’m a level 5 Editor, but only want to edit simple streets which are only on level 1, i can switch my own editor level to something lower than 5 for this action. This would prevent myself for accidental editing more important street e.g. highways.
   Compare this with an account in the IT… Even if I am an administrator… I shouldn’t be logged in always as an admin but just as a normal user with rights just for my actions.

   An other example:
   Some tools, edits and so on are only available for higher levels of editing. To support a newbie with level 1 or 2 I should be able to switch also to this level to offer more or better support.

7. Add surveillance camera as an option under the "enforcement cameras" category

   Add surveillance camera as an option under the "enforcement cameras" category. Currently there is only red light, speed, or fake. There are times where a camera is tagged as red light in my community but, in fact, it is only surveillance.

9. Close User reports automatic after seven days with no response

   We suffer from the spread of reports on the map, and unfortunately we have to wait for seven days until they are closed. During this, weak reports may come that were previously, then it becomes difficult to close them. If the feature of closing after 7 days is included (in the event that there is no response from reporters) will be useful new for cleaning up the map from useless reports

10. Properly display far lane guidance at exit arrows on Junction Boxes

    The current implementation of far lanes does not allow map editors to easily see the end result of their selection. We have to "guess" at what the app will actually display to the user and, many times, we have to actually drive there to experience the lanes.

    This feature requests Waze to add the ability to show the combined far lanes at the exit arrow of a Junction Box.

    Currently, if we block a turn using the Junction Box, the exit arrow turns red. If we change the voice prompt for an exit arrow (e.g. changing from Waze default to continue), a "speaker" symbol shows up next to the arrow, and selecting the arrow brings the pop-up showing what was changed.

    There is no such capability for lane guidance display. Adding this will enable editors to quickly see and fix errors in entering far lane guidance.

11. Customize report icons

    Customize the display with "favorite" reports. For example when I drive I see many cars on the shoulder it takes 4 touch on my screen to report this. As this is a frequent one I see, I will add this to dashboard screen and when driving just one touch should send this. I would limit to "two icons" in the dashboard :-)

14. add RTC details to segment history in WME

    Currently in WME segment history we can see that a closure was added and when it was added, but It doesn't contain any details about the duration of the closure itself. If a closure is manually deleted by an editor I believe that also shows up in the history, but when a closure expires naturally that is not captured.

    It would be very useful if there was data about the actual closure itself. I'd like to at the very least be able to see when the RTC was scheduled to begin and end. This would help when there are URs about a road not being closed when, for instance, a road crew ends work earlier than it was planned to last.

17. Real-Time Speed limit

    In relation with the time based speed limits, it would be interesting to have the possibility to change speed limits in real time.
    In some european countries for example they limit the speed limit on all the highways in a country to 90kph due to too high Co2 levels.

    Having this option would set waze apart from other navigation apps.

    Give the user the possibility to set the start and end point of construction sites. With that WAZE and they community know how long the construction sites will be (and can be better calculated with the speed limit). In addition, if an accident happend, you know where it happend within the construction sites and if it makes sense to avoid it, if possible.
