Internal editor Notes on User Reports
Give editors the ability to enter Notes onto User Reports without these going to the reporters themselves.
This will allow us to leave messages for other map editors without the reporter being notified, for example, Please leave open - due to a Waze developer investigation, Please leave open for a pending site survey, etc.
It may also give us the ability to for to use for an internal conversation about the report that the reporter doesn't need to know about.
Yes, I know we have Map Comments, but having the ability to do this directly on the report would make…

Fix bug when multiple URs are submitted from the exact same location.
When multiple URs are submitted at the exact same location only the last one can be opened. When you try to open the others the display hangs and a hard refresh must be used.

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).15 votes -
Ability to edit PUR photos to blur items
Very often we have to reject a PUR photo when it contains either identifiable people or licence plates. If we had a simple tool in WME that would allow us to blur those details then those pictures could be used. Current situation is quite unbearable since we have to reject way over 50% of PUR photos because of aformentioned reasons. It also affects negatively on user's eagerness to take photos if the ones they've taken before do not end up to use and we currently cannot even tell why those have been rejected.

School Zones Speed limit 40km 2:30-4pm weekdays
We need to know the school zones and change the speed limit around these times near school which the time is 2:30-4:00 pm Monday to Friday only around school zones this feature should be added in so people like my self don’t get confused with the on screen speedometer

Lane closures
The possibility for us editors to close lanes on for example highways.
We'd indicate which lane is closed and a RoadShield like box would appear showing arrows so that users can change lanes early to the non close ones.

Drivable Areas
The current solution for parking lots and gas stations is not particularly user friendly. A user driving within these areas is directed to follow parking lot road segments which can be very complex and still may not represent the paths that drivers actually follow.
A means to give a user a general instruction to proceed to a particular exit to get going on their route could result in a better user experience, especially in the case of of multi-level parking structures where a user may drive in circles repeatedly as they proceed to the exit level.3 votes -

Apply alternative name to all selected segments of the street
Today, if an alternative name is only assigned to some segments of a street, and you select also segments of the street without the alternative name, there is no indication of such status and no way to apply the alternative name to all segments. Please add such indication and action.

minimize the URs window
in the URs window we have "x" button but we dont have minimize button "-", Some times it block viewing the Waze provided route & User drive (GPS trace) to study it. So if we have the minimize button who need to minimize it he can.

Easier way for cutting a segment
There are a lot of occasions where the properties of a road (eg speed) changes within the same segment. Currently the only way to cut segments is to add a road with a junction on the spot where one wants to split the original segment and immediately remove the added road.
This is rather cumbersome/overkill and could lead into incorrect data.
Other map reporting tools have a segment split option within a simple right hand mouse click and it would be nice if a more simple way would be available in WME too.31 votes -
New "comment" category: traffic cam
It can help editors a lot to have quick access to traffic cameras or similar government-deployed cameras that are accessible for the public.
Certain places have mapped them in WME with a Web Comment (point), but it might be useful to have a distinct category for them, so they are easy to spot.
It can be simply a duplicate of the existing comment category, but with a new symbol.9 votes -
Add filter to WME feed
Add state filter to the UR feed
To be able to focus on editing a state, il would be good to be able to filter the feed mainly when managing a country or multiple states.

Avoid school zones
We need to be able to choose to avoid school zones. Waze takes me through several school zones on my way home. When you don't know the area, you don't know how to go around them. This is really frustrating. The speed slows down to 20 in most zones around here.

BUS/Motorcycle Lane
Add the option to mark a lane as a BUS lane.
If we have 3 lanes -> Turn left | Front | BUS
We cannot give exact information to the user, because we can only show 2 lanes, because we cannot display the BUS to not mislead the driver.
In Portugal, motorcycles can ride on the BUS lane, so it also helped motorbike drivers a lot

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…11 votes -
Closures - Don't return to top of list
When you have a lot of closures on a segment, Waze goes back to top of list each time you open one of the closures in the list. This makes it more labour intensive if you have to go through several to change settings. It should be constructed in such a manner that when you cancel or save a closure, you return to the same position in the list.

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.
