Informacion Sobre semaforos.
Buenas,
Quería proponer una mejora relacionada con los semáforos que se pueda ver en la app de mobil que seria muy util, actualmente en Waze están como elemento visual en el mapa, pero no aportan información útil en la conducción.
Creo que sería muy interesante implementar información más “inteligente” sobre los semáforos, por ejemplo:
Aviso de semáforos con ciclos largos (los típicos que te hacen esperar bastante)
Indicación de si un semáforo va a cambiar pronto (especialmente útil en ciudad)
Posibilidad de mostrar un contador o estimación del tiempo restante en rojo/verde (si hay datos disponibles)
Aviso preventivo de semáforos…4 votes -
Use AI to see the live traffic levels in each turn lane/lanes going to different major roads
Use AI to see the live traffic levels in each lane based on user data and traffic movement. This could be a turn lane to turn left/right, or say if lanes 1&2 go to the M25 and 3&4 carry onto the A3. As the people who go to the M25 is queueing, AI could determine the estimated travel times by people who have already sat in the traffic queue by which direction they end up going.
This will give more accurate arrival times and better routes for the user.

Update current MAP PROBLEMS scanning to disconnected nodes
It is becoming increasingly difficult to identify two segments that are very close to each other but not connected. Sometimes they even sit on top but until you click them, you don't realise that they are not connected.
This leads to many routing issues and is not identified till there is a UR or a chance visual by an editor.
Validator script and Checker.Waze help with this but you have to be at the location editing. It would be really nice if this "disconnected segments with nodes within 5 metres of each other" could be natively searched by Waze scanner…

Add an Option to keep or Removed Wazer icon from URs
With the new Release, we got a new UR icon design that has the Wazer on it, and i have seen many different opinions about it.
i think it would be great to have an option to decide how you want your URs to look, either have the Wazer on it or without the Wazer on it. as there is a lot of editors that like the new look, but there are also some that would like to have it as before. so this would solve this problem without removing the new look of the URs.15 votes -
MTE Temporary parking lots
Very often during large events, temporary parking lots are created for the duration of the event, it would be very useful to be able to create in the WME these parking lots only for the duration of the event.
It is not possible to do this now because we have to wait for the map update.33 votes -

Incorporate the Top "X" scripts into native WME
Given the recent injection of malicious code into scripts used by the majority of experienced editors
https://www.waze.com/discuss/t/urgent-two-scripts-were-compromised-on-feb-1-please-read-if-you-use-scripts/365499
I strongly urge Waze relook at the Top "X" scripts that were identified several years ago and incorporate them into native WME.These scripts serve several functions
1) Increase navigation precision: JAI (mentioned above) is absolutely needed for experienced editors to determine the angles and thus, the turn announcements when one moves from one segment to the next
2) Speed up editor time: ColorSpeed (also mentioned above) and others, like LaneTools or Road Shield Assistant, provide a quick visual on the overall WME…95 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.

Allow Junction Boxes and Paths to exist together
When editing, there are many times that you need to restrict a turn that would require the use of a Junction Box (JB) to accomplish. The issue is that if a different route, that does not fit in the JB, needs to have Paths set up, we have to choose one or the other.
We need the ability to set Paths through a JB

WME EVENT Page Upgrade Suggestion
Hello. I would like to suggest an improvement to Events: it should be possible, directly within the Event Page, to manage the associated road closure(s) by enabling or disabling them. Additionally, it would be useful to define new schedules for each closure—specifically, if a closure is extended, the Event duration itself should automatically update to match, even if it’s just one or a small part of the multiple associated closures. Thank you.

Entrance to Valencia Walk at Riverland is on SW Sea Jewel not Marshall Parkway.
The main entrance to Valencia Walk at Riverland is on SW Sea Jewel not Marshall Parkway. Only residents can enter on Marshall Parkway. When coming from the north, Waze is sending me past SW Sea Jewel to Marshall Parkway. This is more than a mile out of my way. Guest coming to my home in Valencia Walk can not enter off of Marshall Parkway. Please fix this .

Expand external visual cue on mouseover
Several years ago the WME interface was changed and it reduced how much information was visible when adding an external provider. You could no longer see the difference between two entries because the text simply isn't visible and longer place names make it worse. Editors would have to select a provider to see the address and determine if it was correct. If it was not, they would have to search again and select another entry. Repeat the process until you find the correct entry. If there is no entry, you have tried five different times to find out. For some…

Flag Waze segments for addition to Google Maps
If an editor adds roads to Waze and sees they aren't in Google Maps, we have to add them using the Google Maps interface. This does not include access to additional imagery which can make it easier to make the updates.
With the increased data exchange between Waze and Google, it makes sense to have a button to flag sections of the Waze map for incorporation of high priority changes rather than having to map the area twice.

ICON Change on RTC for Turns
Currently when you select a segment with an RTC on a turn arrow, you just see the white fence/barricade icon that you see on the node. You then have to hover over the turn arrow, then click on Turn Closures and go to the window that popped up to see if these are active or finished.
I would like to see the icon changed to the the Red Closed symbol when active, like we see on segments when they are actively closed, and then the grey circle we see when they are finished. It would help tremendously in deciding if…

Keep Google Map Links Import
Matching Feed imports to Waze places should keep Google Maps links placed by editors. Currently, when matching feed runs, the Waze place is stripped of linked Google places. Alternatively, if the businesses are the clients of matching feed, Waze could make matching feed a bundled service covering Waze and Google Maps.

Semi-Permanent Hazards
Allow editors to add semi-permanent hazards such as lane blockages and construction, similarly to how we can add fully-permanent hazards like speed bumps and sharp curves.

Road Closure without Re-Routing
When we are doing closures on inter-regional roads, particularly in Canada, there are routes where there are no alternate routes available. Or maybe there is an alternative route, but that alternate route exceeds the likely closure duration or is a day+ detour.
If the editors, a partner, or even a data feed places a closure on these segments it will either
a) break routing entirely - it simply cannot find a route
b) find some route with unverified segments from the basemap import, which is an unmaintained/decommissioned road. (this isn't good experience - other apps like gMaps does this constantly). …13 votes -
LPR
I would like to see a feature where I can tag an Automatic License Plate Reader (ALPR/LPR) as a hazard to ensure drivers are aware of cameras being utilized in their area. Thank you
