Possibility for editors to create map update requests, for changes that need higher level editors.
Many times I can see needed changes or map problems that are prohibited for my level to edit or fix. But there is no option to report these issues to the higher levels, inside the map editor.
Should I have to drive there and create a map issue report?6 votes -
issue tracker: add new area filter - "My editable areas"
For new editors, without a managed area the current Area filters don't allow them to see everything they have editing rights to manage. There should be an additional "My editable areas" option that filters aligned to the Editable Areas layer.

Ability to delete your previous comments inside a map comment
Map Comments allow for conversation, with comments by users. Can we have the ability to delete our own previous comments?

Allow forcing a closure to expire (instead of deleting the closure)
The WME shows now the status of all recently finished and all active closures. A deleted closure will not be visible anymore.
For that reason, we prefer to "finish" closures instead of deleting them.
It would be nice to have an option in the context menu of closures, to make the closure expire, by setting its end moment to now.107 votes -
Acceptance of adding a road closure without the need to manually specify the "event"
I often handle the addition and removal of road closures via phone, but when I enter the dates, I am required to specify the type of event for it to be accepted. I believe it would be better to make the option more seamless, so that if "Add" is clicked, the road closure is added. If there is an event, I will certainly add it, but there’s no need to force me to select the "None" option just to proceed with the addition.

Use URL to add external provider
Sometimes WME fails to locate a right matching place from Google Maps, but the place can be found with Google search engine. As a solution I suggest to enable WME to assign a matching place also by a known URL from Google Maps.

Why did you get rid of the 'animals' on the side of the road?
Why did you get rid of the 'animals' on the side of the road? I now have to alert people about deer, etc by clicking on the general 'hazard'

It should really be allowed anywhere customer parking is allowed.

Road shields, ability to add different sign as override to the major one used for that street name
In Finland, we currently have named roads as "180 - Saaristotie" etc. and would like to get rid of the number in street name and just leave the shield. But that is not possible because we have quite a few locations where road number changes while road name stays the same. Another problem is when road category changes to minor road so that the number drops off completely.
So there is a need for feature where you could set an override shield to selected segments while the default sign for that road name stays active on other segments.

Inclusão de Semáforos, sem ou radar de velocidade.
I propose the implementation of marking all traffic lights, even those without speed radar, in the Waze app’s mapping system. This feature aims to enhance the navigation experience, provide greater driver safety, and enable more accurate and efficient routes.
Including traffic lights on the Waze map would allow:
Greater Accuracy in Route Time Calculation: By accounting for waiting times at traffic lights, Waze’s algorithm could offer more precise route estimates, preventing unexpected delays for users.
Suggestion of Faster and Safer Routes: With the location of traffic lights known, Waze could suggest alternative routes, avoiding intersections that require longer waiting times…

Move Previous Build Button
The small bar with tile build information moves and sometimes covers elements as different parts of WME are accessed. With the exception of my phone in landscape orientation, there seems to be an excessive amount of extra space on the tile bar. My suggestion is to move it to the tile bar on the left, near the settings button.

Height limitation of bridges
I think WME should have a bridge height segment. Some of the bridges, at least here in Finland, are really low and even a van is in danger of getting stuck on its roof. It would make driving easier.
With the same effort, it would certainly be great if the roads also got a possible weight restriction segment.

Automatisk registrering af kø
Kunne være dejligt, hvis Waze kunne registrer kø automatisk, på samme måde som Google Map gør i dag.

Message from a user reporting the end of a closure, does not indicate the location
As a map editor, we can sometimes insert numerous closures in one day, due to construction or traffic events.
When a user reports that a closure is no longer active, I, as the editor who created it, receive a message in my application. However, this message only indicates the information that the user reported. Example: “This road is not closed”
This does not provide additional information, such as the name of the road or even the location’s PL. If I create a lot of closures, I can’t identify which location it is.4 votes -

Move Ferry, Railroad and Runway/Taxiway road types away from road type fast selection buttons
Those mentioned road types are about as rarely needed as the walking trail so moving those away from the normal road type selection buttons would be reasonable, there's no sense to keep those there. Maybe make submenu of those + Walking trail to that part of Unify Action Area?
This would have 2 benefits, it saves a little more of that limited space on left panel and also it helps to prevent accidental clicks which change road type and may go unnoticed when editor hits Save.

Need to add the option to change a roundabout if it is no longer there.
If construction has occurred and a roundabout is no longer there, we need the option to change the map to a straight street.

Remove bots from the last editor's username (updated field)
Lately, the last editor who edited an object appears to be a bot. There are a few names for bots: "matching feed 1", "waze-maint-bot", "Avsil".
IMO only human editors should appear as the last editor in the "updated" field. For example, if someone uses a script to filter edits done in the previous month, the filter includes many edits done by a bot, which is not what the user wants to see. The bot's name hides the name of the last human editor.
It is suggested that bots will not appear in the "updated" field.7 votes -
Seaarching on crossings
By long streets, it is easier to place two street names in the searching box so you can find direct the correct crossing, like it is possible in Google Maps

Issue Tracker: within the Areas I Manage list, add an "All my areas" option
An All my areas option will give me a high-level view of all the areas I manage without selecting each area.
21 votesGreat timing! We’re currently working on adding an option to see the list of all the area you manage. Keep an eye out for updates on the WME.
