Tell us if the reporter closes their own report
(Copied from https://www.waze.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1525&t=228417)
Please tell us if the reporter has closed their own UR (don't need to know their username).
Quite often a UR is closed by an editor, and it gives their username in the email and closed UR. The problem is we aren't told if this is just some random editor, or the reporter themselves.
It annoys me when an editors closes URs without comment, as it goes against etiquette, but I wouldn't be so bothered if I knew it was the original reporter. If it wasn't the original reporter, then we could follow up with the…

Set up an autoreply for the UR message notification mails
Every so often, we still encounter people who send a reply mail to the UR message notification mails. Sometimes Wazers do this when they're unable to respond in any other way, but usually they just do this out of habit. The mail address itself clearly indicates it shouldn't be used to get a reply (no-reply@waze.com), but in many mail clients mostly the name ("Waze Map Editor") gets shown.
I'd like to therefore propose the addition of an autoreply mail whenever someone sends a message to the no-reply@waze.com inbox. I know it's ironic to send replies from a mailbox…

Possibility to adjust fuel prices with WME.
More and more gasoline prices are no longer kept up to date by Waze users. To ensure that people in my region can see the current prices at the gas stations, I now enter these via the app. This takes a lot of time. I would like, and many others probably with me, the option to enter these gasoline prices via WME.

Temporary Construction Zone Restriction
Per conversation on the editors discord, it would be nice to have a black and orange dashed line which would indicate construction zones in Waze. This way drivers would get an alert and know to slow down if there are any speed restrictions. In the WME app, users would be able to set these temporary restrictions up to what is allowed per their level. This would be done through restrictions field in the editor. A tab would be added in the restrictions editor to show construction zone information. For a user to set a construction zone on a segment or…

A map problem for a suspected closed venue
Many venues that are closed remain in the WME and become WME garbage. During the years these "garbage venues" are growing in number, and the editors do not pay attention to them.
I suggest that there will be a new map problem that will pop up when a venue was not a destination of any navigation for a year or two. If the MP is closed without deleting the venue, it will reset the time for that venue (as though it was a navigation destination).13 votes -
A place with an expiration date
I would like to suggest adding an expiration date to a place. When the expiration data is reached the place deletes it self from the map. This option is good for places such as events like weddings, parties, sports tournament etc..
Today, many such places which their event date passed exist on the map and nobody remembers to delete them and the map gets loaded.
The expiration date default would be of course - No expiration so that new places would not be deleted.
Such an option is already implemented in Map comments.By: reuvenirony

Hide Name Checkbox
In an effort to reduce clutter, and provide more information to the user, it would be nice to be able suppress display of the name of certain objects on the map. Parking lot areas, drive through lanes, private community roads, etc. could all benefit from this kind of feature.
The end result could be something like "Turn right into Costco Customer Parking" without a bunch of segments that are visibly named like that in the client.19 votes -
Differentiate Visiting Helpers/Raiders from True Area Managers
Please differentiate between visiting helpers/raiders and true Area Managers. At present, temporary map raiders and other visiting helpers are typically provided with editable area by granting them "Area Manager" status. As a result, community tools do not distinguish between visiting helpers and dedicated local managers. This can confuse editors, particularly beginners and visitors, who want to identify a true Area Manager for a region in order to open a conversation on local issues. It may also demoralize true Area Managers when the same status they worked hard for, and feel proud to have been granted, appears to be granted with…

Navigate to place point by address
As we've added more parking lot roads to shopping centers wazers have become accustomed to being directed to a specific store when they search by name. As a result, they are reporting navigation errors when navigating by address results in a stop point on the road in front of the stopping center. This is particularly bad when the route has to circle around the shopping center to reach the house number.
To work around this, we've taken to adding both a PP and a RPP when a store in a shopping center has a unique address.
It would be great…

SLUR behavior (speed limit update request)
Hi,
a few month ago Irad told to make suggestions about SLUR, I took my time but here it is :In the beginning, we had a SLUR for every request, and there were way too much of them because sometimes there is a lag in showing the new speed limit so people were reporting speed limit that were already good, and also because speed limit were not visible in the client until you exceeds the limit.
The idea of grouping them making cluster was implemented (against our will), and according to Merav last time I spoke with her about…
32 votesHey!
Thank you for this suggestion.As it was announced in the forum we are currently working on improving the SLUR workflow and user experience.
This suggestion will be taken into consideration in the work.So, thank you again we will update accordingly.

Different route choices...
I live in Phoenix and try to avoid I-17 it is a terrible highway narrow and heavy traffic and lots of accidents. It seems like waze always sends me to I-17 whenever going north and south. I started using google maps it gives me choices. Is there a way to get choices on Waze?

Option to select all segments in a closure at once
It happens that a road closure has to be adjusted (end time changed) or removed. It would be very useful if you could select all segments that belong to a road closure directly at once, eg based on start / end time, description, MTE.
(this can be especially useful for large scale works, closures with many small segments, or if you have to work in WME frequently on a mobile device)13 votes -
Editing permissions - change request
I suggest to chane some editing pernissions as follows (the current required level is given in parenthisis):
- Giving a "narrow street" road type to a segment: 3 (1)
- Entering a TBR / TBTR (this includes difficult turn and toll road designation): 3 (1)
- Enter a turn instruction override: 3 (1)
- Delete a segment that someone else created: 3 (2)
- Create a new MTE: 4 (1)
- View RTC details (view only): 1 (4)
- View of house numbers: 1 (2)
22 votesThanks for the suggestion, but this is part of a bigger project that would involve being able to configure different entities in countries, which is not currently planned.

Stop automatic editing over all recordings
About two months ago a change was made so that every recorded segment is automatically edited by a bot (admin). It is suggested to cancel this change. This will make it easier to recognize a recoding, especially when scripts are used which make it difficult to notice the segment's color. A recording was previously recognized by having just a "created" line and without an "edited" line. We now cannot be sure whether the segment was edited between its creation and the admin edit, and we have to open the segment history or stop the scripts which color the segments.

3000 modifications to reach level 2 !!
I am disappointed to have to make 3.000 modifications to reach level 2 ... 25,000 for level 3 and 100,000 for level 4!
It's a 24 hour job!
At level 4 approval from the team and local experts is needed ... stupid!
it's easier to get into the FBI!
With my 56 edits that I'm so proud of ... I'm ridiculous!8 votes -

Vitrual Lanes
There are many places where Lanes go one or two junctions back (H junctions for example). The editor should allow to define lanes that are not limited to the turns at the end of this segment:
Real example:
We have 3 lanes. The left lane is loaded for 1 KM. In that 1 KM there are 4 junctions ( right turns allowed).It would be nice to be able to define 1 lane for Left turn, one for going Straight Ahead, and one for Straight Ahead or Right.And be able to do this for all 5 segments.

Split Place
After the succes of the Merge Places feature I would like to add a request to Split Places.
There are instances where wazers add a photo to a place that is not related to that place, but something nearby. At this moment we don't have a choice but to reject the photo. I would like an opportunity to use it to create a new place.
