Show a character counter for entering a name of an event
Since the name length of a traffic event is technically restricted also the WME limits the name input after the maximum length ist reached
(https://waze.uservoice.com/forums/59225-map-editor-suggestions/suggestions/41814004-limit-name-input-in-event-mode implemented).It would be even more helpful if there would be a char counter that shows the remaining length for the name.
This requested behavior is already the case for entry boxes of map comments and URs.

Connect an Advertising Pin to its Place on the WME
Very often it happens that advertising pins are not placed in the correct place on the map, which leads to routing errors. It would be very useful to be able to link these Pins to the corresponding Place entered by the editors in the correct place in the WME, so that the routing to these destinations works correctly. (as we already do for the link to Places on Google Maps).

Editing fuel types for each Gaz station in WME
It would be nice if the types of fuel at Gas stations could be created, selected and sorted for each specific Gas station when editing directly in the WME.
The main thing is that for each Gas station it was possible to create its own set of fuel types.
For example:
for one - Gas, 92, 95, Diesel
for the other - 92, 95, 98, Diesel
etc.Because all Gas stations are Different!!!

Add closures to new segments
It would be really great if we could add closures to segments just after creating them. Currently that's not possible. In this case, once the segments are built into the map, the closures would be added to them automatically
Why?
Sometimes city administrations make few changes in the traffic by creating new roads. The problem is that most of the times (at least where I live) we don't know exactly when those roads will be released. In addition, map build may delay.
So, as soon as we know a new road will be built, we can create it on WME…

Work closer with scripters
Develop a closer working relationship with scripters. They provide great tools that make the time we can devote to editing far more productive - UNTIL the scripts are broken when WME is updated. When possible incorporate script functionality into native code.

Differentiate between area map comments and point comments
It would be great if it would be made possible to select to only see point map comments and/or area map comments.
Area map comments are quite intrusive, leading to a lot of editors switching off the comment layer. As a result they sometimes miss useful information and make unnecessary edits.
If you can choose to only see one type of comment, that would be very helpful.

Show the source of an UR: app or livemap
Users can now create URs from the livemap, at any location, while UR created via the app are automatically located at the actual position of the user.
When handling an UR, it is useful to know if the UR has been created via the app, by a user actually present at the location, or via the livemap, which allows to create a UR at any location.
Knowing the source helps analysing the UR.17 votes -
I495 on long island
When driving to Long Island, waze insists on traveling on I495. There are so many parkways without trucks on Long Island that you can make better time, yet every time I travel to Long Island it heads towards 495. Today I headed up Northern Parkway,, which waze was heading to eventually, in 8 fun filled miles of sitting. I got off when I saw a sign to Northern Parkway, 4 miles earlier, and took 3 minutes off of my time. I love waze, but Long Island driving is not waze driving. It stears you towards the interstate!

New Description for Retirement/Nursing Homes
When editing the map and adding/editing places, it would be helpful if we could have a category for Nursing/Retirement Homes and Senior Centers. The number of seniors continues to grow, and having this category available would be a nice addition.

Allow hyphenated house numbers in RPPs
In my AM in Iowa there are several neighborhoods that have hyphenated house numbers. Here's an example: https://beta.waze.com/editor?env=usa&lat=42.40782&lon=-91.76381&zoom=6 Since they are on a private road RPPs should be used but can't be because hyphens are not permitted.

Events: additional tickbox "event needs push notification"
Requesting push notifications for events through the editors' community still doesn't work very well and is not rewarding.
Now contributors get a notification if their event was published by Waze staff but they get no notification about the event being reviewed at first. If Waze decided to not send a notification, the contributor doesn't get to know the reason, nor the information that the decision has been made!When I enter major events I -as a local member- often know that they have a high impact on traffic in the near area.
I suggest adding a tickbox to clearly show…

One Speed Camera (or similar) for various segments/roads...
Speed Cameras...
Currently, when a speed camera is cataloged on the map, it only serves the way/segment in which one driver/Wazer travels, being placed in the direction of traffic, acknowledging its presence in the app about 500 meters before.
However, there are access ways to the main road where that camera is located, access ways that are "within" the speed camera's angle of the main road and access ways where the speed camera does not "beep" because it is located in another street/road...
At this moment, the only way to beep on the 2 lanes (or 3 or 4 lanes/streets/roads…

New WME Layer - Submitted Imagery
Google-provided aerial imagery is very outdated in places, being at least 6 years old in the area I live. Even in more recent areas, there are new developments and intersections which have been built since. I suggest a way for experienced (lvl 3+?) editors to submit personal drone shots or publicly-available renderings of new developments to be added to a new layer on the map editor. This would make editing updated areas significantly more accurate, and provide a way to confirm the new developments before GPS traces are available. It would also make such imagery accessible to all map editors.

Event with more than one other language
At the moment it is only possible to enter an englisch and optional one other language name for an WME Event.
Can this limit be increased for optional up to 4 or 5 names (including the englisch language)?That would be a gread addition for events that have official names for more than two languages, espiaclly in regions where boarders with more than one country or countrys which have multiple languages.
As example for boarder regions:
Belgium/Germany/Netherland
Austria/Switzerland/Germany
Austria/Hungary/Slovakia/Czech RepublicAs example for countrys with more than one local language:
Luxemburg (2 languages + englisch)
Switzerland (4 languages are spoken)…13 votes -

Improve segment selection on mobile
Hello,
Could you improve the segment selection on Mobile and Tablet?
The selection of a segment is already not easy ...
This could be good in addition to being able to easily select several segments, or multi selection, on mobile and tablet.For example, very useful for urgent closure requests made without a permalink and the Team Closure editor is not in front of a PC (and the editor providing the information is on the road at the same time).
Best regards

Livemap uses old Lat/Lon order
When entering a lat/lon pair as starting point or destination in Livemap, it must be entered as Lon,Lat. WME was updated to copy as Lat,Lon. Livemap should be updated to match.
