In the APP: Allow continued writing after selecting a suggestion when writing addresses.
When typing in the app, you suggest what i want to write below the input box. That's all fine, except if i select one of your suggestions it doesn't let me continue writing (rather, it uses the selected option directly). This is very frustrating since most of the times your suggestion is only almost correct (lacking house number, etc). It would be much better if your suggestion filled the input box and then let me continue writing before using the selection.

No feedback provided if permalink is unable to select items
Currently there is no feedback given if one or more items are not selected when opening a permalink (i.e segments, places, URs, etc.).
For instance, I have a document with PLs of segments that are always closed during events (such as stadiums). If a segment ID is changed and therefore no longer linked in the PL, I have no way of easily knowing this.
Please consider providing some sort of warning if WME is unable to locate all the linked items.

Center the elevation in the box
When editing the elevation, currently the number in the elevation box is left justified. This puts it right next to the negative (-) sign making it look like it is a negative elevation.
I recommend center justifying the number to make it more obvious what the actual number is.

Allow for combined speed/red light cameras on map edits
Australia has combined speed and red-light cameras, so we need to be able to add this new type of camera.

Make editor impact more obvious
Drivers get a regular report of their reporting impact, such as how many reports and how many people were impacted and helped. It would be nice if WME did something similar. Perhaps in the editing history show some statistics to allow editors to see their impact for edits.
Such as:
Segments: Give a rough estimate of how many drivers navigated to a destination on this segment or traversed the segment (such as navigated to a PP with a stop point or to a HN).
Places: How many users have searched for / navigated to this place.
Under each edit in…

Make new editors complete a quiz on the wiki before they can edit.
After being locked out from editing after a bad user last year and only regaining editing permissions early this year, I was thinking you could create a compulsory quiz that new editors have to complete before they can edit the map. This would help prevent rogue users that don't understand what their actions do to the maps and creating a better editing experience for everyone.

When updating places on the map should grant points per change or addition made
Every change or addition made to a place on the map should grant an edit point for every change or addition e.g. presently if I select a place on the map and link to google and include phone number this will grant only 1 point. Make it 2 to give incentive to do more and better corrections to places on the map

Use of alternate city names for routing
Several years ago the decision was made to use the postal city as an alternate city name for routing to addresses in rural areas. According to Wazeopedia "Waze founder and CTO Ehud stated in a US meetup that a search algorithm is so much work to build correctly and maintain, that Waze does not want to spend the time, money or energy to build their own, and are happy to stack the Waze matching process on top of the Google search algorithm." As a result, WME editors have spent untold time and energy adding the postal cities to these segments.…

Don't display a connection node where there isn't any connection
If one segment touches another segment somewhere in the middle it should be visible if there are two or three segments. Think of a T-crossing. At the spot where the segments meet a dot is displayed, which suggest there is a connection, but sometimes there isn't any: instead of 3 segments there are only 2. Better only display this dot when there is really a connection.

Add new layers for deleted Places and Segments
Currently it's impossible to restore (or even review) the Places and Segments, which were deleted. There are simply no traces left and objects are lost for good. (with their history and complexity)
I suggest to add the new WME layers with deleted Segments and Places.
That would allow the review of what, when (and by whom) were they deleted with a possibility to recover/undelete those objects. (again, incl. all attributes and history).10 votes -

Project Zone for Large/Difficult Projects
Sometimes when working on large projects, it is difficult to get the timing with tile updates to make a major project (or even smaller projects) go live at the correct time. Often this is done with adding segment restrictions to new segments, waiting for a TU, then applying an RTC and removing the restriction, so that when it goes live, just the RTC has to be removed. However, this usually only works when what is added is totally new and doesn't require reuse or reconfiguring of previous segments. It is also very difficult during reconfigurations when the project all of…

Unique alerts
Enable editors (with minimum rank or role) to write unique verbal alerts on the map. Example: when crossing a country border, the app could alert users to get their documents ready. Another possible use is for agricultural and other permanent interior checkpoints.

Provide the option for police reporting to have a "in median" option that would notify both directions of travel on a road with a median
Provide the option for police reporting to have a "in median" option that would notify both directions of travel on a road with a median that there are police activity or police speed traps in the center of two roads that are separated by a median. If someone only reports it on one side then the other side won't be notified. Has happened to me numerous times, especially on state roads/highways/interstates with larger car width or larger medians.

set none as default when selecting an event for real-time closures
Most of the closures I add to the map (95%) need no traffic event associated with them because this is a minor use case.
Now I still have to click the event field and select none manually every single time which takes unnecessary effort and time. In the meantime I could have added other closures.
Therefore,, it would be a huge improvement if none was pre-selected.
