  1. Road type per direction

    Allow us to set different road types for each segment direction. For example, driving A -> B can be opened for all and set as street, but driving B -> A is permitted only for small amount of people (private road).

  2. TR-panel shouldn't cover the TR-arrows

    I've the impression that the behavior of the TR panel is changed. The panel remains longer visible after clicking one of the TR arrows. Nice in certain circumstances. Not so nice if you want to set all TR arrows of a crossing and some of the arrows are covered by the panel.

    Suggestion:
    Place the panel a bit further away from the crossing, making all TR arrows reachable.
    The little triangle pointing to the selected arrow could be lengthened.

  4. GPS announces what state or county you're in

    It will be nice if the GPS would announce the state, county and city you entered in because on the road the signs might be knocked down or you just might not see them while driving especially on the highway or minor roads I really think this needs to be a thing it'll be nice if it will announce what city You just entered in.

  5. Close a place for a fixed period

    Sometimes I receive UR for places closed for works (construction site, temporary closure).
    It would be nice for editor to be able to close a place for a fixed period, as you can close a road.

    I had the case on 2 gas stations under construction closed for several months. A "temporarily closed" button or closing dates with automatic reopening would be great!

  6. ability to amend speed limits

    I'd be interested to find out how I can advise of a change in speed limit please. Our village (Newington, Sittingbourne, Kent) has recently introduced a 20mph limit across the village, but it's still showing on the app as 30mph.

  7. WME Form autocomplete=off

    Disable the autocomplete in the forms in WME. Frequently while adding street information, Chrome attempts to offer up personal saved addresses for street names, etc. This covers over WME's street name suggestions and buttons. A simple fix would be using HTML autocomplete=off for form fields or the whole form would stop this from happening.

  8. speed limit user poll

    The idea is very simple but could improve the editors SLUR extremly.

    In the moment we have poll´s for Police controll, Accident, Danger and so on.
    Why not having a Posibility to do an limited (e.g.48hours) Poll for a Speed Limit like "is 120km/h the correct Limitation" (Yes, No)
    and display the Poll Result in WME which would easyly allow to check if a submitted Speedlimit is correct.

  10. Mark for "No Trucks Allowed"

    In Buckeye, Arizona there is a law prohibiting semi traffic in residential areas. With interstate construction it's creating backups and people are looking for routes around it. It's all well and good till a semi tries to drive through our golf community on a road that the city extended a couple of years ago to give residents easier access to Verrado Way. The semi's hit the reflectors marking the cart path crossings. They hit the curbs that weren't designed for truck dimensions. They also come dangerously close to children waiting on the sidewalk for their school busses. The street I'm…

  11. Blocking edits when has unread PM

    Editors would not be able to edit in WME while they have unread PMs. The idea is to get new editors to contact you to receive instructions about wrong edits. Now we send PMs and they ignore and continue to make wrong edits which forces us to block him via CAR to force him to contact the community

  12. Speed cam edits should initiate tile update

    Currently, speed limit edits depend on nearby map edits to be included in the tile update process. This seems to be an old limitation.

    It should be possible to add or edit speed cams without requiring additional edits.

  13. Sub-cities

    The goal is to have a mechanism for attaching localities or hamlets to a city.
    The French wiki presents a number of situations (https://wazeopedia.waze.com/wiki/France/Routes_Nommage).
    There is also the management of districts or neighborhoods of large cities that could also benefit from this feature.

  14. Allow 3 choices for PURs that report closed places. 1) Ignore; 2) edit place 3) delete place

    Currently we can only ignore a PUR that reports a place closed or delete the closed place. We have no other choices available. Often, we need to make changes in operating hours or make other changes but NOT delete the place. If we ignore the PUR, it counts against the reporter. We need a third choice that gives the reporter credit for the report but allows us to keep the place and make appropriate changes to it.

  15. custom layers and map editor colours / themes

    so I have used Waze for a bit and I love seeing the editor map with the coloured roads, but there's a few problems...
    - no support in night mode
    - can't change the colours, even if it's there to match the sign sometimes I want to have custom colours,
    - can't have custom layers, sometimes I want to have the alternate route 1 in Melbourne Australia white or create my own custom routes. a layer I would like to create is a mobile camera colour where a road that has mobile cameras and such shows up as a custom…

  16. WME road closure history information

    In WME, editors are able to see road segment information and current road closures. At the moment, after road closures end, there is no visibility of what the road closure was in relation to and how long it was set for. This makes it a bit difficult when editors receive URs from road users and are unsure what the issue is related to.

    It would be handy to see historical road closure information on that segment (if it be within the last 30 days or for the life of the segment).

  17. Highlight Lane Guidance Icons on hover

    Currently in Lane Guidance there are the icons up the top showing the composition. It would be great if when hovering over an item it would fade out the icons that wouldn't be shown and highlight the ones that would. You're already highlighting the path on hover so it could be associated in that! I think this would be especially helpful for FL2

  18. Bring back the zoom bar

    With all of the new zoom levels I'm respectfully begging for the return of the zoom bar in order to know what zoom level you are at. Since many map objects only display below a certain zoom level, in vanilla WME, you must guess whether you'll be able to see what you need. Also, the zoom bar allowed for single click zooming, rather than using the scroll wheel or multiple clicks.

  19. Reorder custom turn instruction elements

    When editing custom turn instructions, if an element (shield or free text) should be inserted before existing elements, then the existing elements must be deleted. There is no way to create new elements in front of existing elements.

    Please add the ability to reorder elements. This way we could create new elements and then move them to the front if needed. This would save many clicks and retyping.

  20. Editar valores dos combustíveis nos postos pelo WME (Editor)

    Seria interessante, se tivéssemos condições de atualizar os valores de combustíveis nos postos diretamente pelo WME (Editor de Mapas de Waze), pois, eu passo nos locais e nem sempre consigo editar na hora por conta do transito, contudo, acredito que os valores poderiam ficar mais atualizados deste forma. Além de quê, eu trabalho com rede de posto e boa parte deles, ficam com o mesmo valor.
