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…41 votes -
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

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.

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…22 votes -

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.

Restore UR interface to prior version
WME v 2.1.344.1-4e85e205 broke the UR comments interface in numerous ways. Restore it to 2.1.285.3-612222ad

Keep previous history for merged/split segments
Hello!
I think it would be very helpful if segment history included data from previous "iterations" of that segment, when a segment was created by merge or split.
Right now, the history starts anew any time there is a new segment ID, but I would imagine it should be fairly trivial to develop a backend mechanism that, any time a segment is split or merged, merges the history of the previous segment ID into the new segment's history.
This is useful not only diagnostically but also to catch cheaters on the map, who today can split and merge segments at…

Thank you very much for this great suggestion.
It was added to our backlog to try and see the possibility to implement it.Please note there is no ETA for it yet.

Add manual lock level to Junction Boxes
Currently, Junction Boxes do not have a controllable lock level. From the look of it, the lock level displayed is the minimum level for the country that can edit a JB. For example, in the UK only L5+ editors can edit JBs, so all JBs show auto(5) in WME.
With various changes that HQ are making into WME and the app, it seems to me that they expect a massive increase in JBs over time. U-turn prevention, junction modification for Falcon are just some of the things for which the answer often seems to be "use a JB".
I'm not…

Improve WME editing capability on mobile phones
I can currently add or delete real-time closures in WME in Chrome on my mobile (Galaxy S20). I can't change turn permissions, for instance, as touching the turn arrow to be changed deselects the segment it's part of. Can we get more functionality of WME in Chrome on a mobile phone?

Save changes as a draft
The "save as draft" button keeps the changes made but not yet saved, so that they can be resumed at a later time or continued on another device.

Practice mode in WME while logged in
As far as I know, after logging into the WME, the user cannot enter practice mode anymore.
I suggest that besides "Default mode" and "Event mode", there will be "Practice mode" that will enable anyone to go into the practice mode directly even when already logged in. This might be useful for anyone who wants to try to edit in order to test something or to illustrate some edit option (and take a snapshot of it), and also it is suggested to enable entrance into the tutorial videos from there.59 votesThanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

place destination counter for the last 30 days
Selecting a Waze place could show the amount of route requests in the last 30 days that had the exact Waze place as a destination.
This would be quite informative and could give us editors an insight on how demanded an entry is.

Make Map Comments selectable even when behind Area Places
Please allow editors to select Map Comments that located amidst Area Places.
At present, at least in vanilla WME, neither Map Comment points nor areas are selectable if they are amidst an Area Place. The Places layer has to be turned off (or the obstructing place moved or removed) for the Map Comment to be accessible.
Map Comments are among the most useful things for novice editors to view, but such editors may not be aware of the workarounds required to view Map Comments that are amidst Area Places.
72 votesIf we change the order, does it make sense that a place under the map comment won’t be selectable?

Closure layer behaviour on selected segments
When the closure layer is off and you have a segment with closure selected, the active closure is not showing when you switch on the closure layer. You need to unselect and reselect the segment to be able to see it. It would be nice if that can be resolved.

Select segments included in permalink regardless of zoom level
When handling unlock requests for larger areas, or when doing extensive highway closures, we often deal with permalinks that cover a broad area.
To combat the problem currently, we have to break up the PLs, or use a script to select segments as we pan around.
It would be exceptionally helpful and a great time saver if WME would load and select segments that are specified in a PL regardless of the zoom level.74 votes -
Prevent overlapping restrictions
Currently you get set overlapping restrictions on segments and turns (e.g. setting all vehicles prohibited Monday-Friday and on Tuesdays) Instead you should receive an error when applying or savings the restriction, similar to closures.
