Show lanes configuration even if not in editable area
The lanes tab contains the number of lanes and the lanes associated to each turn, including far turns. This is necessairy for adding lanes but also for ckecking them them.
If an editor has no permission to edit lanes on a segment, he only sees the total number of lanes and the lane configuration as a whole.
This also happens when the segment is not inside one's editable area.The problem is, this way it's not possible for editors to discuss or check a certain lane configuration together if this is outside of the editable area.
So please show the…

Would love to have a button to correct that you are driving on the service road and not the highway or the reverse way.

Photos in URs
Enable Wazers to add photo and video attachments to their URs from the phone or live map. Photos of intersections would enable editors to solve problems more quickly, especially in rural areas where street view is sparse.
Currently, some northeastern states let users send media via email, including the editor’s username in the subject line. This alternative would be easier for users and editors.
Ideally, if a user sends inappropriate media, then the editor can forward it to their RC in-app and have them review. Then, the RC could decide next steps.
Under this system, if a photo/video has illegal…

Gas station service level
Enable editors to add gas station type (self-service, full-service, or either) when adding or modifying a gas station.
On the client side, users should be able to select a preference for self-service or full-service in Settings > Gas stations. In most areas of the US, users don't know the service type until they reach the station.

Turn highlight
Currently a turn is highlighted when you hover over it in the LG menu. But if you then click the turn to change it, the highlight disappears when selecting a different arrow icon. Please keep the highlight when the mouse moves over the dropdown.

Road Closures History
For a segment, it can be useful to have the history of closures, with start and ending, especially the most recent ones.
This could help in the management of some UR (a closed segment the previous days helps to think that the segment is still closed).
159 votesGreat timing! We’re currently working on having the history of closures. Keep an eye out for updates on the WME.

Feature to Report Police sighted driving on-road
This feature is similar to the already existing police reporting feature. The ability to report on route (driving) police vehicles will allow drivers to be more aware on the road, as well as reduce the number of accidents caused by speeding, mobile device usage, and/or other distractions and activities.

Añadir editores en UR
A veces es necesario involucrar otro editor en un UR, yo normalmente envío el PL y le contacto por el foro, chat, etc... ¿sería posible enviarle el UR al editor directamente desde el UR con algún comentario?

Limites velocidas estandares España
En España hay unos limites estandar, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 110, 120, creo que sólo esos, pero no sé porqué el editor permite números no usados (p.e. 82 o 17), se podría hacer un desplegable simplificando y algún "otro" para poner el número exacto.

Place Hours: Sunrise to Sunset
When adding Places, especially outdoor places (such as parks, playgrounds, beaches, etc), there are often posted hours saying the Place is open only sunrise to sunset, or conversely that the Place is closed sunset to sunrise. Unfortunately, the existing Place hours interface doesn't allow for these kinds of hours, only HH:mm times. As sunrise and sunset times change constantly, and in some places drastically due to orbital motion of the earth and time changes due to daylight savings times, it is impractical to estimate open/closing times using HH:mm formats.
It would be beneficial to both app users and map editors…
144 votesThanks all! We're researching this further and will come back with follow up questions shortly.

Different Street Names for Different Side
WME should consider allowing editors to add street names and towns that apply along only one side of the street (instead of select one name as an alt name. Along town lines, street names can change from one side to the other. This would also eliminate the need to place residential place points on one side.

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).7 votes -
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.…
