Harmonize poor-road nomenclature to "Poor roads"
Please harmonize the nomenclature Waze uses for roads that may beat up cars or get them dirty.
Currently, WME allows marking segments as "unpaved", while the companion feature in the app allows the driver to avoid "dirt". But unpaved and dirt are two different things; for example, many would consider a gravel road to be unpaved, but few would call it dirt. Meanwhile, even some paved roads have such poor surface quality that local drivers might wish to avoid them in favor of better alternatives.
Since the underlying goal is to allow drivers to avoid roads with poor surface quality,…

Help detecting unanswered UR.
WME does not sufficiently highlight unanswered URs, while editors are expected to handle unanswered URs.
URs are coloured according to their age and status (open, closed ok, closed nok).
Opened UR are coloured in yellow, becoming darker , then red, when aging.
The only way to differentiate unanswered from answered URs is the presence of a "speech ballon".
I am a Belgian editor, and we, in Belgium, believe we have invented comic strips and speech balloon, so we like speech balloons.
However, I believe speech balloon are not visible enough, and unanswered URs should have a distinct colour, perhaps blue,…6 votes -

Simulator to test editions
Sometimes when we make changes to the map, we need to wait for it to update to see if it had the desired effect.
It would be nice to have some type of simulation in the WME and thus be able to avoid various changes until the expected result is obtained.
Because of COVID, many editors have not been able to check if the changes we made had the impact we wanted, so we had to wait for a report that warns us of the error or not.39 votes -
A map problem for a suspected closed venue
Many venues that are closed remain in the WME and become WME garbage. During the years these "garbage venues" are growing in number, and the editors do not pay attention to them.
I suggest that there will be a new map problem that will pop up when a venue was not a destination of any navigation for a year or two. If the MP is closed without deleting the venue, it will reset the time for that venue (as though it was a navigation destination).22 votes -
Allow closure overlapping
Hi,
very often I am notified of an event that needs closure after it started, then I go to select the many segments that must be closed.
When I want to add a proper closure on them, there are already dozen of closure made by drivers and I have to remove all of them one by one before adding mine. That's annoying because it is slow, and sometimes new closure are made by drivers while I am removing them :And overlapping closure are not a real problem because when it is done by waze app it happens often so…

Thank you for the suggestion.
In order to check this suggestion, we would like you to share some more examples with us.
We aim to get the understanding of how often this is an issue.Best,

Types of electronic toll
As you know, if you plan a route through highways containing segments with the option “electronic toll” enabled, a time penalty will be added to the final estimated time of route. (3 minutes for each electronic toll, right?)
Here in Portugal we have 2 different types of electronic toll:
-> Type 1 - You need to reduce speed (Electronic reader) or stop (Manual ticket) to cross the toll.
-> Type 2 - You don’t need to reduce speed or stop to cross the toll.So there should be a time penalty on type 1 but not on type 2, but…

Events entry for multiple dates but basic information is the same for quicker creation
I spent quite a bit of time entering Events today for concerts that happen on every Friday in the summer. Basically the only information that was different was the dates and the road closures were also the same except for the dates. This would be a great time saver if it could enter all the dates and times in separate sections and created separate Events.

Record node RTCs in the edit history
Segment RTCs are recorded in the segment edit history, allowing editors to easily check along a route to see if a now-expired closure may have been the reason for a routing problem flagged up via a UR.
Now that we have the ability to also mark nodes as open/closed in order to allow/deny routing across a closure, having node closure states recorded in the history is also important, so that we can deal with URs related to routing problems along those cross routes as well.
ideally we'd be able to see in the history for a given segment if either…

Possibility to adjust fuel prices with WME.
More and more gasoline prices are no longer kept up to date by Waze users. To ensure that people in my region can see the current prices at the gas stations, I now enter these via the app. This takes a lot of time. I would like, and many others probably with me, the option to enter these gasoline prices via WME.

Add permanent user based Hazard markers to the map (to assist when local authorities don't flag))
I came up with this idea after getting incredibly tired of flagging a long term roadworks hazard that's turned a two-way piece of road into to automated stop light controlled one-way travel. That fact that none of the road authorities here in NSW, Australia, who can tag such things (such as the NSW TMC) still have not after some 6 months (as compared to recently flagging another identical set of long term roadworks in another area I travel through). This has prompted me (thanks to another member's suggestion) to post the idea of the idea of allowing users (maybe more…

Name field for RPPs
I propose to add a name field for RPPs: "Building name"
It should be an optional field, ideally with some help text besides/below it to remind users in which cases they should fill this in.
It can be used for condo complexes that carry a name or even retirement homes / long-term case homes (which currently have no real category.)
Obviously, it should not be used for uses as "my home" or "my friend's home"
In WME, we're getting a lot of place requests for condo towers, because users love to add names and then can't figure out in which…

3000 modifications to reach level 2 !!
I am disappointed to have to make 3.000 modifications to reach level 2 ... 25,000 for level 3 and 100,000 for level 4!
It's a 24 hour job!
At level 4 approval from the team and local experts is needed ... stupid!
it's easier to get into the FBI!
With my 56 edits that I'm so proud of ... I'm ridiculous!14 votes -
Improve comments from other users on Closures and Reports
When other users comments on Closures and Reports I have submitted they show as a pop-up in the app and then disappear, forever! These comments are nowhere to be found. Not in the app inbox, not in my e-mail.
The only way to reply is to find the closure or the report on the map. But for an L5 editor like myself who puts dozens of closures around the country every week, that's useless.
Can you please improve how these comments are handled?
Thanks, Yanis.

Tell us if the reporter closes their own report
(Copied from https://www.waze.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1525&t=228417)
Please tell us if the reporter has closed their own UR (don't need to know their username).
Quite often a UR is closed by an editor, and it gives their username in the email and closed UR. The problem is we aren't told if this is just some random editor, or the reporter themselves.
It annoys me when an editors closes URs without comment, as it goes against etiquette, but I wouldn't be so bothered if I knew it was the original reporter. If it wasn't the original reporter, then we could follow up with the…

Show conflict choice option on deleting junction node
(Copied over from https://www.waze.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1525&t=229014)
If you try to delete unneeded junction node, but it can't be deleted due to a conflicting option between then, at the moment you need to inspect each segment to see what the differences are. This is especially frustrating when there may be a hidden speed limit set on a one way segment.
Can a dialog box pop up on deletion of a junction node if there is a conflict to allow the editor to select one of the conflicting settings for the newly joined segment?
OR
Create an error message saying the junction node…

Differentiate Visiting Helpers/Raiders from True Area Managers
Please differentiate between visiting helpers/raiders and true Area Managers. At present, temporary map raiders and other visiting helpers are typically provided with editable area by granting them "Area Manager" status. As a result, community tools do not distinguish between visiting helpers and dedicated local managers. This can confuse editors, particularly beginners and visitors, who want to identify a true Area Manager for a region in order to open a conversation on local issues. It may also demoralize true Area Managers when the same status they worked hard for, and feel proud to have been granted, appears to be granted with…
