  1. Speed limit visibility

    When you pass the speed limit, for example riding a motorcycle, it becomes very difficult to read the actual speed.The speed indicator should be bigger, and when you traspass it, it shold have more contrast. I simply can´t see it on my phone. Maybe, as an option, the user could set the size and color of theese thins on screen. Thanksss

  2. Show name of editor on expired closures

    The new status of real time closures in WME is good. It would even be better if we can see who the editor was who set the closure when the closure is expired; now this is not possible. That way you can liaise with the editor if a UR comes in relating to that closure.

  3. Delayed Caused by Trains

    It would be nice to know when a train is stuck on the railways or there is a delay caused by trains. I sometimes end up in the longest traffic jam. Just to realize the train isn't over a certain section of road further down the other intersections. If it could suggest an alternate route or tell us "Rail road traffic jam reported up ahead"

  4. Refer to turn closure from adjoining segment's closure list

    RTC on turns are only visible in the "edit turn" infobox and with a small icon on the node. It would be great if the closure list of adjoining segments would contain a referral to the existence of this turn closure (possibly with a shortcut to edit this turn / turn closure). Could be as simple as "1 turn closure active" or something like that.

  5. Add a gradient border to Editing Areas based on age.

    For lower rank editors and those that tend to travel, it would be helpful to add a 1-3 pixel gradient border, likely at a 50% transparency level around each editing area based on the age of the area. I propose the gradient go from green to red for expiring edit areas and 50% grey for any LAM/AM areas for differentiation.

    I know that it would be beneficial for me to have that visual representation as I patrol the EA in WME that I gain each Northern Hemisphere summer that I drive around the USA.

  7. Enhanced Road Type Attributes for Improved Route Planning

    I’d like to suggest an enhancement to the Waze road attribute system to improve route planning in regions with diverse road types. Currently, Waze allows drivers to identify paved and unpaved roads; however, many cities, including mine, have roads with unique surfaces, such as cobblestone or "stoned" roads, which can significantly impact vehicle mechanics and increase wear and tear.

    Proposed Solution:

    Additional Road Surface Options: Include new road attributes, such as "Stoned/Cobblestone" roads, alongside "Paved" and "Unpaved."
    User-Selectable Avoidance Options: Allow drivers to choose to avoid certain road types like "Stoned" roads, which can affect vehicle stability and wear.
    Condition…

  9. Parking spaces available in car parks in real time

    Several cities around the world have a real-time feed of available spaces in their parking lots.

    It would be really relevant to be able to have it in Waze so that we can be guided directly to the city center or bus/tram hub. Currently Waze allows you to get around perfectly, but concretely, once you arrive in town, it does not help you to park, so the purpose is not achieved in a certain way. It’s also a matter of sustainability. Waze should help for less time and gaz wasted.
    Morover many cities with real time feed have digital screen…

  10. Residential - show closest semgent where the drive will lead

    Hello, there,
    in the new editor v. 2.242 there are no possibility to show the residential names. I have to choose each to be able to see their names. And there is no possibility to show the neariest part of segment where the drive will be lead.
    Is it possible to enable the option to "show residential names" just as it is for POIs and parking places?
    Is it possible to enable "show the closest segment where will be driver navigated"?
    It is pretty needed, because to create the residential is very easy, but if there are more streets around,…

  15. Automatically clear the street city field when its value is "None"

    Currently, when opening the street name editing panel, the input fields get populated with the string "None" (localized), which requires editor to delete the text manually before setting a new name.

    When the street has a "none" street or city name, these fields should be empty (or, at most, with a "none" placeholder that disappears when clicked).

    If the user does not change them, consider them as being "none".

  20. Accept and reject individual suggestions in PUR

    Problem summary:

    The workflow for place update requests (PUR) is clunky and confusing. We can reject or approve only - yet two or three of the five suggestions might be useful while the others not. After clicking on a PUR for the first time, it is also unclear what is new, changed or deleted.

    User story:

    I clicked on a PUR pending changes for an existing venue and this is what was displayed:
