Flag UR reports
I would like the feature to be able to flag a UR report. This way, volunteers can reply to a UR normally. If the UR is about something that the volunteer cannot fix, allow them to have an option to flag the report with a "level needed" option, so the volunteer can put in which level volunteer is needed to fix the UR.
(I am aware that we have the unlock requests forums, but possibly add the flagged reports to the level that the volunteer requested's feed.

Correction needed for Savannah historic district
From 16 into Savannah, GA. WAZE dictated a right turn on Abercorn but said "Abersham" so I missed the turn. That area is full of one-way streets and Abercorn would have "circled the block" to get me to Lincoln Street.

Allow link RPP and Google addresses
Why we can link POI but can't link addresses?
We have a lot of problem with google addresses and have to use different hacks for it.
I suggest add function linking RPP and Google addresses like in POIs429 votes -
Left panel configurability
Problem for me and apparently for many other people too is that some left panel items I frequently need are on the bottom part and need to scroll to reach those while others I very rarely need are visible all the time. Solution: Make left panel configurable in a way that you could change the order sections appear in it.
For example I would like to see History, Created by and Last edited by fields higher and would drop height and lock levels to the bottom of the list, it would result in much better usability for me.

Allow to drag a node of a segment with closure
Dragging of a node is not allowed when the node is of a segment with closure on it, although the ID of the segment that includes the closure does not change. It is suggested to allow it.
As a temporary solution, it is possible to delete the closure, and then drag the node, and then reenter the closure (but still the closure is removed for the time it takes to complete the change).11 votes -
Update Request - View recently cancelled route
It would be extremely helpful on Update Requests to provide the route/path information for a recently cancelled route.
Often users report an issue shortly after cancelling a route that gave them bad instructions. In these cases, editors can't see what the Waze app was asking them to do, versus what they actually did. Often users forget the precise details of what the bad instructions were.
If this is already permitted to some degree, perhaps widening the time window my a couple of minutes would help capture more of these.

Events tab should ask to enable the Road Closures layer
When you select the Events tab, no events will show unless you have the Road Closures layer enabled. When you click the Events tab, there should be a pop up asking "Enable the road closures layer to edit events" with an Enable button, same as when you select the Road Closures tab for a segment if the layer is off. Having the layer off could confuse editors about why they don't see any events listed.

Markers for Emergency Service Stations
An awesome addition to the waze map editor would be the addition of emergency service station markers and permanent building markers / icons with two types for example:
Emergency tap (single tap on any of the icons will add it to your route)
- Hospitals (Marked with a red and white "H")
- Police Stations (Marked with a house shape outline & a badge inside)
- Fire Stations (Marked with a house shape outline & Fire Axe or fire truck inside)
Passive Icons
- Schools (that have a highlighted zone area around them when route passes though and an alert…8 votes -
Improve handling of Routing Option for L1-L3 editors
Editing segments with Routing Preference (or Routing Option) is only possible for L4+ editors.
However, WME Beta and WME Prod allow L1-L3 editors to change segments with Routing set to Unfavored/Preferred (i.e. not Neutral), and only gives a very generic error message when saving. Which is rather unproductive.
My suggestions:
- Can we improve the wording in the error pop-up?
- Can we add a warning similar to the one appearing when users select segments that are part of a Junction Box?Routing Preference: https://i.imgur.com/bH6gxI2.png

WME Road Types
The current classification of roads on the WME follows the road types in the USA (Freeway, Major and Minor Highways and other road types).
In Europe, but I think also in other parts of the world, the classification of roads is very different. This creates problems with editing roads, as it is difficult to adapt the WME type to the real situation.
It is necessary to revise the road classification of the WME according to the real classification of each country so that each country can edit the map in a correct and more real way.23 votesThanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

Creating an traffic event from a RTC automatically
Waze wants more traffic events additional to the RTC in order to benefit from the metadata.
Adding a larger amount of traffic events as before needs exceptionally more time and effort.- First, visiting the event tab and creating an event with name, duration etc.
- Adding the respective RTCs with again entering name and duration. 3.Again, going to the event tab and submitting the event.
This is too much work to keep up in general.
So solve this, I suggest the possibility to create an event from the closures tab automatically using the already submitted closure name and duration (as an…

Allow choice in HN street name
Hi
Certain streets have a different name or city depending of side.
It would be great to allow, when adding HNs, editors to specify what name we want to assigne to it when alternate bloc is filled.Thanks
25 votesApologies, but we won't be able to prioritize adding this to the WME at this time.
Many thanks to all who pushed for this suggestion. We will update if/when this is able to be added.

Better usability for the turn guidance feature
Very great that we actually have an preview for the expected turn instruction in the client visible in the WME.
BUT when the input of the user exeeds the length of the preview box, the text is cut off. The text labels in the visual instruction and torwards line are capable of showing 5 letters only, it is not possible to read longer names there at once and it is prone to error (for example typos).This must be improved.
This doesn't allow easy every day editing and error correction. Draggable road shield boxes and the text labels are pending.The…

Return to Home in WME Nav Tabs
This is a small feature to add to the Nav Tabs in the top left of WME, but as I've had my region enlarged as an AM, I find myself further and further away from my main city doing edits and I have to zoom out and drag quite a lot to get back to my city. I would LOVE a simple "Home" icon in the Nav Tabs to zoom me back to a specific spot on the map. Currently my work around is to load my drives and click on a recent drive which brings me close at least.

Enable closure layer button on MTE tab
Major Traffic Events don't show in the MTE tab when the closure layer is switched off. Similar to the closure tab on segments, please add a button to enable the closure layer on the MTE tab.

URs should show anonymized but user-unique handle for reporter
The current 100% anonymity of UR reporters makes it impossible for editors to detect reporting patterns of specific Wazers. If URs showed a fully anonymized but user-unique handle for the reporter, editors could identify problematic or abusive patterns. This would save editors time and energy, and allow them easily to report such patterns to community leadership or to Waze for potential action.
Specifically, editors have long suspected that certain Wazers may: (1) repeatedly flag an issue, or a kind of issue, on which they refuse to accept the editing community's past analysis; (2) submit multiple URs for no clear reason,…
68 votesThank you to all who submitted and voted for this suggestion, however it is currently not planned due to PII issues associated with tracking URs in this manner. Please make sure to include the UR ID when reporting abusers on the map so that Staff can properly track the case. Often times we are unable to investigate due to no longer having the UR ID once the UR is closed and deleted.

About adding a river in the waze editor
About adding a river in the waze editor
It takes a very long time to add a river
I think it would be easier if you could write a river as easily as you would write a road.

conditional tolls
There are some toll segments that go pretty paralell to the public roads, so time savings are more related to traffic (<5 min when comparing vs toll roads).
Waze always will choose the toll segment but for a regular wazer time savings will not be enough to use toll vs public road.
A conditional that let waze to avoid tolls when savings are less than X minutes will help wazers pockets.4 votes -
Option to avoid/allow tolls for current trip only (instead of having to dig in settings)
I'll describe the use-case with an example:
User selects a route without Tolls
Route gets recalculated (wrong turn/closure/traffic/preference)
New route includes Tolls
There are 2 workarounds currently. Either check the route repeatedly and make sure the route is indeed avoiding tolls, or go into settings and enable the avoid tolls toggle (and remember to disable after the trip).My suggestion is to avoid tolls for the current trip only (or allow if the toggle is on the other position).
Happy to hear your feedback and discuss.
