1. Improve editor and driver effectiveness by reconfiguring "Map issue" and "closure" app buttons

   Many drivers report temporary closures as map issues instead. This is very frustrating for us map editors! Temporary closures are extremely hard to diagnose, and often a waste of time to try, because many closures are already over by the time we see the reports. The fact that Waze under Apple CarPlay does not even provide access to the “Closure” feature has made the situation worse.

   Please reconfigure the app's reporting tree to make closures more intuitive. I suggest renaming "Map issue" to "Route issue" (in English, something similar in other languages). This is how drivers already seem to perceive this button anyway. Then, put "Closure" underneath "Route issue", rather than as its own top-level button. (This may also be an easy way to make closures available under Apple CarPlay?)

   I’m aware that this is, strictly speaking, an app suggestion. Some might argue it doesn’t belong in the WME suggestion box. I suggest it here because this relatively minor change to the app could dramatically improve the volunteer editor experience! Not to mention the improvement in drivers' closure-reporting effectiveness.

2. Only allow editing of road shield if you can edit the segment

   I know, and have no issues with, that if you add/change a road shield on a segment it will add/change the road shield to every segment with the same streetID (same street name, city, state, country combination) no matter where it is (even if you you don't have edit rights in the area)

   My issue is that I should not be able to go to an area, state, country that I have ZERO edit rights in and add/change their road shields.

   My suggestion is that when you select a segment, if you can't make a normal edit to that segment, then the "add a road shield" option should also be able to be selected either. However, it should have a "view road shield" option instead.

   So in short, if you meet the minimum requirement to add shields (L4 at this time) and the segment is within your editable area, you can add shields, otherwise you should only be able to view them.

   I know, and have no issues with, that if you add/change a road shield on a segment it will add/change the road shield to every segment with the same streetID (same street name, city, state, country combination) no matter where it is (even if you you don't have edit rights in the area)

   At this point in your directions, Johnson Ferry road turns right, and Abernathy Road is straight. but your directions should say to stay straight to Abernathy get to GA 400. If you stay on Johnson Ferry, you would not get to GA 400.

4. Allow un-checking Segments layer to be persistent

   When using Street Vector Layer I turn off the Segments layer but each time a hard refresh is required (which is far too often) the Segments layer is re-activated by default. Please allow the setting for the Segments layer to be persistent.

6. Add Stop Signs in WME for routing

   I would love if you could make it where we can add stop signs to the WME to be apart of routing. Just like what you guys did with the lanes feature. I saw Apple Maps already has this and would be cool to be added to Waze also.

7. Add a button to refresh page where you are

   Hi

   With latest Beta, we're missing the old permalink button (on button right) that allowed us to refresh the entire page staying at our location.

   If you F5 you refresh the page but move to the url location.

   Only actual possiblity is to copy paste the actual permalink.

   Thanks

   Hey!

   This request is currently under consideration.

8. Update UR Categories the same as the App

   Would like to match app problem descriptions with those presented in WME URs.

   For example: UR's that come in for 'Wrong Driving Directions' (what the App says)
   Show in WME as 'Improper / Poor navigation instruction'

   Having that changed to 'Wrong Driving Directions' will help with editors looking at responses and what to select for a default/1st response to a user.

9. Distance to overtaking section (Dual lane) on "A" Roads

   Marked on Maps and audio description saying Distance to Overtaking Zone. This would avoid numerous accidents knowing that if you wait a short period of time you can overtake safely rather than risking overtaking in the face of oncoming traffic.

10. Different closure types for emergency vehicles

    There can be roughly two types of closures on roads. One is that the road is completely closed and driving is absolutely not possible. That's what we have now. Second possible situation is "soft closure", where although the road is publicly closed, some vehicles could still pass because the road itself is drivable.

    "Soft closure" can be an event closure like a festival or VIP visit or something else similar, where an emergency vehicle could drive through in case of an emergency. Such soft closures should not close the road completely, but add a small penalty instead, because you can't just drive through a fair with full speed. Of course there must be some mechanism in client (special vehicle type or some option in settings) or partner feed to actually make this data practically usable.

11. Parking Lot Roads - Differentiate Aisles & Roads

    It would be nice to have a way of setting PLRs to be able to use speed data (versus a set speed) while having the same penalty settings (i.e., the road has no penalty between the two PLR settings). This would be useful in large parking lots area such as sporting venues and malls, where set speed is fine for aisles and minor roads but speed data would be useful for finding the fastest entrance/exit on it's higher volume roads. With the set PLR speed, you are almost always getting the shortest route of PLRs, even if that lot exit is much busier and slower (or if say the right turn lane out the lot is fast but a left turn is slower than using a different lot exit).

    This could be a checkbox on PLR segment settings, or potentially a new road type (with the current one named "Parking Lot Aisle" and the new speed data type taking on the "Parking Lot Road" name).

12. Display state instead of country when zoomed out

    If a country uses states then when between zoom levels 5/6 to 10 it should say the state name rather than country name. Once you are zoomed out past level 5 or 6 then it should start saying the country name.

    E.g. More useful to know I am looking at Queensland instead of Australia at this zoom level

13. Conditional lane guidance

    There are many cases in highways where there is an on-ramp shortly followed by an off-ramp. In those cases, the right lane/s serve for those who get on the HW from the on-ramp, as well as those who get off the HW on the off-ramp.
    A wazer that gets on the HW from the on-ramp and has to continue on the HW should get lane guidance to go onto the left lanes when approachng the next junction of the off-ramp, otherwise, he might continue on the right lanes and get off the HW.
    A wazer that comes on the HW and approaches the off-ramp, but has to continue on the HW does not have to get lane guidance (it is disturbing to get lane guidance for every off-ramp on the HW).
    The suggetion is to allow a conditional lane guidance that will allow to define separate lane guidance according to where the wazer came from (not to be confuzed with another suggestion to deal with lane guidance for a turn that will be taken later on).

14. Allow for the addition of signage symbols for turn instructions.

    I'm not asking for the ability to add all road signage (e.g. regulatory signage) as this would be overkill, but many countries include symbolism on big green signs to display additional services on a turn instruction without having to use lengthy text to do so.

    While some symbolism exists in unicode/emoji form, these are not uniform across platforms and having country specific visual aids to add to signs would be a valuable way of informing drivers of additional services on their turn instructions.

    The types of signs I would like to see added include:
    * Accomodation
    * Camping
    * Caravan Parks
    * Visitor Information
    * Airport
    * Train Bus and Ferry services
    * Public toilets
    etc

    For example, the following two links are used extensively in Australia - https://www.qld.gov.au/transport/safety/signs/service and https://www.qld.gov.au/transport/safety/signs/tourist - on big green signs, and also on tourist drives. While not all are useful to be added to turn instructions, there are many that would be.

    This would be a meaningful way of informing drivers about services available along their route.

17. Inherit custom turn instructions on unnamed segments

    When a turn includes an unnamed segment, and a custom turn instruction is used - including addition of shields in the instruction- the custom instruction must be duplicated at both the unnamed segment and the final turn. This makes a long edit with numerous clicks even longer and tedious. Please inherit custom turn instructions in the same way that segment names are inherited with default instructions.
