  1. Allow roadshields with more than 5 characters

    Hi,
    Would it be possible to increase the number of allowed characters for the roadshields.
    In Luxembourg, for example we have roads like the "CR189A" which sadly doesn't fit into the inbox.

    Best Regards
    The_Luxemburger L3 for Luxembourg

  2. Multiple opening hours per day

    Having the possibility to enter multiple opening hours for each day.
    Some shops are open from e.g. 09:00 to 12:00 and 14:00 to 18:00. Currently you have to enter each of those times for each day seperately.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

  9. 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.

  10. 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.

    1. First, visiting the event tab and creating an event with name, duration etc.
    2. 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…

  11. 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

  12. 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

  13. 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.

    1. 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.

  14. 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.

  15. 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.

  16. Add On Road Hazard “slow vehicle”

    We passed two vehicles going less than 50 in a 70 zone with their flashers blinking in the right lane. Allow to add “slow vehicle” hazard in road to alert truckers and others traveling the speed limit.

  18. 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,…

  19. 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.

  20. 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.
