Incorporate the Top "X" scripts into native WME
Given the recent injection of malicious code into scripts used by the majority of experienced editors
https://www.waze.com/discuss/t/urgent-two-scripts-were-compromised-on-feb-1-please-read-if-you-use-scripts/365499
I strongly urge Waze relook at the Top "X" scripts that were identified several years ago and incorporate them into native WME.These scripts serve several functions
1) Increase navigation precision: JAI (mentioned above) is absolutely needed for experienced editors to determine the angles and thus, the turn announcements when one moves from one segment to the next
2) Speed up editor time: ColorSpeed (also mentioned above) and others, like LaneTools or Road Shield Assistant, provide a quick visual on the overall WME…98 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.

Allow Junction Boxes and Paths to exist together
When editing, there are many times that you need to restrict a turn that would require the use of a Junction Box (JB) to accomplish. The issue is that if a different route, that does not fit in the JB, needs to have Paths set up, we have to choose one or the other.
We need the ability to set Paths through a JB

Is there a way to download the drive history?
Is there a way to download the drive history? Like a .csv file with the date, time starting and finishing points...?

WME EVENT Page Upgrade Suggestion
Hello. I would like to suggest an improvement to Events: it should be possible, directly within the Event Page, to manage the associated road closure(s) by enabling or disabling them. Additionally, it would be useful to define new schedules for each closure—specifically, if a closure is extended, the Event duration itself should automatically update to match, even if it’s just one or a small part of the multiple associated closures. Thank you.

It would be nice if there was an edit option to correct the way a street name is mispronounced.

Notify on severe delay on regular route
Sometimes we drive the same route home every day and dont notice water routing specifically to avoid a major traffic jam. Would be helpful to receive specific notice that we are going a different route for a very good reason

El número de casa en Colombia está al final de la dirección
En Colombia, las direcciones se estructuran indicando primero la vía donde está situada la puerta, seguida del número de la vía de intersección con el símbolo #, y finalmente el número de la casa. Por ejemplo, Calle 67 #39-44: la puerta está sobre la Calle 67, la intersección más cercana es la Carrera 39, y el 44 corresponde al número de la vivienda. Por lo tanto, no está bien que en WAZE las direcciones empiecen con el numero de casa, como se muestra a continuación: 44 Calle 67 #39-44.

Entrance to Valencia Walk at Riverland is on SW Sea Jewel not Marshall Parkway.
The main entrance to Valencia Walk at Riverland is on SW Sea Jewel not Marshall Parkway. Only residents can enter on Marshall Parkway. When coming from the north, Waze is sending me past SW Sea Jewel to Marshall Parkway. This is more than a mile out of my way. Guest coming to my home in Valencia Walk can not enter off of Marshall Parkway. Please fix this .

Expand external visual cue on mouseover
Several years ago the WME interface was changed and it reduced how much information was visible when adding an external provider. You could no longer see the difference between two entries because the text simply isn't visible and longer place names make it worse. Editors would have to select a provider to see the address and determine if it was correct. If it was not, they would have to search again and select another entry. Repeat the process until you find the correct entry. If there is no entry, you have tried five different times to find out. For some…
97 votesGreat timing! We’re currently working on it. Keep an eye out for updates on the WME.

Schedule speed limit changes
Allow editors to schedule speed limit changes. For example during roadworks there is often a reduced speed limits. It would be useful to be able to set, in the editor, a start and finish date for these reduced speed limits. This would prevent an editor changing the speed limit and forgetting to change it back. This could be tied into tile builds so the edit is made in time for that days tile build.

SAFEST not FASTEST route
This might not be relevant to users in very safe countries, but if you live in or travel to some South American or African countries (or even in some districts of the US), you do not necessarily want to get the fastest route, but the SAFEST one – omitting dangerous areas (like gang zones). As a concrete example, I was driving through Rio de Janeiro and Waze suddenly tried to reroute me through a Favela, because it was supposedly a few minutes "faster" (something, travel guides and the State Department even explicitly warn about). In fact, there were already news…

Rerouting optional
In the beginning of a ride, the app will let you chose between several routes. However, even if you purposely selected a certain route, it will automatically reroute you, if it found a "faster" route. Sometimes though, you do not want that because you chose a certain route on purpose. Unfortunately, other than in Google Maps (where you get a notification that a faster route was found that you can dismiss) there is no option in Waze to reject such rerouting. This can sometimes even lead to dangerous situations, like if you get rerouted through an unsafe neighborhood.

Add an “Aerial Traffic Enforcement / Aerial Patrol” report type.
Currently Waze users often report helicopters monitoring traffic using generic police or hazard reports, which creates inaccurate map data.
A dedicated temporary aerial-surveillance event would improve report quality and traffic awareness, especially on highways where helicopter presence influences driving patterns over large areas.
Suggested characteristics:
temporary event
larger visibility radius than regular police reports
optional direction of travel
low-noise notification style
community confirmation required3 votes -
Object/pothole ahead - option to pick a lane
It would be nice to have an option to report the specific lane/side of the road a pothole, hazardous object, roadkill, etc. is on!

Alpha Sort Shield picker display order
Need to alpha sort Shield Picker and place all generics (County Road) at the top. This was fixed shortly after the NA MMU in Seattle, but has reverted in subsequent releases.

ICON Change on RTC for Turns
Currently when you select a segment with an RTC on a turn arrow, you just see the white fence/barricade icon that you see on the node. You then have to hover over the turn arrow, then click on Turn Closures and go to the window that popped up to see if these are active or finished.
I would like to see the icon changed to the the Red Closed symbol when active, like we see on segments when they are actively closed, and then the grey circle we see when they are finished. It would help tremendously in deciding if…
