Reopen Update Request
A key could be added, available for a certain period of time from the closing of the UR (e.g. 1d, 6h, 30min), to be able to reopen it and change its status, it is useful when a UR is closed by mistake (if the key is displayed for a few minutes after closing) or if the user replies or adds details after closing (if viewed for a few hours after closing)
The button could only be made visible to those who commented on that issue first or otherwise participated in the conversation.63 votes -
Add Driveway Road Type
I'm Suggesting the Addition of a "Driveway" road type that can be added for long driveways for 1 house. Something can be shown for routing to the address using RPPs but not shown on the map as another road.

Separate Map Editor App
I am suggesting an app that allows editors on the move to have a way to handle URs and PURs while away from the computer more effectively. This could also allow PLs to be opened and segment(s) involved to be edited easier from the mobile device.
URs could have notifications and work like a chat room that other editors can join.
PURs could have notifications with the ability to approve if info can be confirmed while mobile.
PLs could open with options to change the lock level and see segment info upon scrolling down.

2-way turn lane
Add support for 2-way median turn lanes to WME lane guidance. Users would be prompted to use the left median lane (or something easier to comprehend).

Multiple Sets of Hours
Enable Waze editors to add multiple sets of hours for a location. Example: a restaurant with drive-thru, eat-in, takeout, and delivery hours. Perhaps editors can add these sets of hours when they add the place attributes.
Another example would be a gas station with a deli that has different hours from the rest of the station.
I think adding sets of hours is too complicated for drivers; it should be reserved for editors if implemented, at least in the early stages.

Change forum request format when using share link in WME
Even though my previous post says this was implemented, not a single thing has been. https://waze.uservoice.com/forums/59225-map-editor-suggestions/suggestions/43000929-change-formatting-of-forum-sharing-options
When an editor uses the forum sharing options, which is great, because of the order of the data on the request, valuable information is being overlooked.
For example, the current Unlock Request automatically fills in the following information:
Hi Editors,I would like to be able to edit the following segment(s).
Your help would be greatly appreciated.Permalink: https://waze.com/en-US/editor?env=usa&lat=29.63406&lon=-104.27920&zoom=5&segments=516527406

The "reason" and "unlock to level" kind of blend in.

Automatic UR handling
An update request (UR) without any text can be automatically handled:
1. There will be an automatic system response to the UR that will invite the user to add more details to his request in the WME (include a link) or in the forum (include a link to the local community forum). The user will get an e-mail as fr any other manual response.- Every such UR that has no more responses (other than the automatic one) will be closed as "not identified" after 7 days.
That automatic handling will save a lot of time wasted by area managers. A…

Road type per direction
Allow us to set different road types for each segment direction. For example, driving A -> B can be opened for all and set as street, but driving B -> A is permitted only for small amount of people (private road).

TR-panel shouldn't cover the TR-arrows
I've the impression that the behavior of the TR panel is changed. The panel remains longer visible after clicking one of the TR arrows. Nice in certain circumstances. Not so nice if you want to set all TR arrows of a crossing and some of the arrows are covered by the panel.
Suggestion:
Place the panel a bit further away from the crossing, making all TR arrows reachable.
The little triangle pointing to the selected arrow could be lengthened.15 votes -

ability to amend speed limits
I'd be interested to find out how I can advise of a change in speed limit please. Our village (Newington, Sittingbourne, Kent) has recently introduced a 20mph limit across the village, but it's still showing on the app as 30mph.

Directly edit water layer
The water layer should be editable.
The water layer import is outdated and frequently lakes and ponds are drawn where roads and houses now exist.
We can add hacks to WME to suppress the display of these water features in the Waze app but this is not ideal.

WME Form autocomplete=off
Disable the autocomplete in the forms in WME. Frequently while adding street information, Chrome attempts to offer up personal saved addresses for street names, etc. This covers over WME's street name suggestions and buttons. A simple fix would be using HTML autocomplete=off for form fields or the whole form would stop this from happening.

speed limit user poll
The idea is very simple but could improve the editors SLUR extremly.
In the moment we have poll´s for Police controll, Accident, Danger and so on.
Why not having a Posibility to do an limited (e.g.48hours) Poll for a Speed Limit like "is 120km/h the correct Limitation" (Yes, No)
and display the Poll Result in WME which would easyly allow to check if a submitted Speedlimit is correct.3 votes -
Notification alert in WME when GPS Traces appears over no segments

Blocking edits when has unread PM
Editors would not be able to edit in WME while they have unread PMs. The idea is to get new editors to contact you to receive instructions about wrong edits. Now we send PMs and they ignore and continue to make wrong edits which forces us to block him via CAR to force him to contact the community

Allow 3 choices for PURs that report closed places. 1) Ignore; 2) edit place 3) delete place
Currently we can only ignore a PUR that reports a place closed or delete the closed place. We have no other choices available. Often, we need to make changes in operating hours or make other changes but NOT delete the place. If we ignore the PUR, it counts against the reporter. We need a third choice that gives the reporter credit for the report but allows us to keep the place and make appropriate changes to it.
