Reduce the number of URs handled by editors
I was wondering if we should limit editors from answering new URs to 100 or 200. Every time I tried to look for any unanswered URs when I logged back into WME after overnight sleep, I always missed it by a few minutes or hours (in my area I usually keep an eye on) by another editor. It's also like one editor isn't giving other active editors a chance to do their own question to the new UR (that pops up), making them rage quit.

Impossible for Level 1 to advance
As a level 1 editor, you need to gain experience to learn how to properly apply edits to the map for the betterment of the community. But as a Level 1 editor, you essentially can't edit anything. I understand not allowing a novice editor to make changes and potentially break the map. I understand there could be malicious actors who could sabotage this platform. But as it stands now, this voluntary map editing feature will die.
The amount of edits needed to move up levels is high. I'm fine with that IF edits are allowed. Sooner or later, the senior…

Change the road type to "Under Construction"
Enter the road type "Under Construction" instead of using other road types to consider segments under construction.

Update gas prices where Waze venue is linked to GM place via external provider
Idea by reivaxX162.
Around the globe, Google Maps has already rolled out gas station prices. Many gas stations mapped in Waze are linked to GM via the external provider setting. Waze could automatically update the Waze gas prices where it is linked via the external provider. This would allow automatic price updates globally with little ease, and leverage the work GM has already done.

Easier closure/construction reporting
Add option under selection to report a closure on a segment as closed.
After u-turns and some other turns the arrow doesn't show where the closure is to be able to report it. In order to drive the route to reach the closure is not always feasible as well.
Right now under the map editor closing a road takes level 3 permissions, but would be helpful if as a level 1 editor that we could atleast select the segment and put notes in on where the closure is and the duration that is expected to then be applied by a…

voice controll over waze
Voice controll when waze is on and the voice controll is on as well.
Just say "Waze danger", it will ask what kind of danger, you say on road it confirm you say after that car stop, or wheather, fog... etc...
It recognise the item and ask to confirm, you say yes and you made a sign without to watch and manual input the danger.

AED
My suggestion would be to include the locations for AEDs (lay defibrillators). Because it is very helpful in an emergency.

Sound alert for all speed cameras on route.
warning sound for all speed cameras on route. Now some have and some dont. Some cameras have voice alert and some just on screen warning. Best to have a sound or voice warning for all cameras on route

copy/paste for turn closures / RTC on turns
new turn closures feature in WME:
We need a copy/paste feature for turn closuresIf you have to setup more than one turn closure, you have to enter description, start/stop date, start/stop time and MTE every single time.
On a closed segment next to a T junction you have to set 4 turn closures, on a + junction 6 times.Why is it better to close e.g. 4 turns than the segment?
If the segment is closed Waze will route you the node that is closer to your destination. Maybe this is the closed junction you don't wanna go through.…24 votes -
Recategorizing UR's when solving
Add a feature to WME to recategorize the Solved UR's when closing those. This would give Waze a true insight of what reports are really needed and vice versa, what are rare and could actually just be within General Error category etc. Based on my research of all Solved UR's in Finland for last 3 months only about 50% were in right category.
In my opinion this would help to reduce and refocus UR categories to better match with reality which in turn helps users when they are reporting meaning less UR's with wrong category -> Better data and better…

Road layer: if disabled, enable when clicking an issue tracker koi suggestion, not after accepting/rejecting
When a user decides to have the road layer off, there is probably a good reason for that / he knows how to turn it back on when he wants to.
It would make more sense to enable it when the user first clicks on the suggestion on the issue tracker, not when one gets accepted (I think it's not needed, but it would be more beneficial for the unlikely use case "the user switched off the road layer by mistake, is not realizing it and now wants to add segments that are already there4 votes -
don't allow dirt roads
I wish when I select "Don't allow" dirt roads it would navigate the route with the least possible dirt roads. It still routes me over dirt if it's a better route but don't allow to me means don't allow not avoid. I understand if the destination but it should still find the route with least dirt.

Allow closing/seeing closures on red turns
Why?
I got a UR with: from here you can only turn right.
- I changed the wrong turns from green to red.
- I would like to close the one I changed to have the change effective immediately instead of the next map update.The same is currently possible for one-way segments (you can close the other direction).
31 votesGreat timing! We’re currently working on it. Keep an eye out for updates on the WME.

wme - remove duplicate headings
how come there is a waze map editor button in this drop down? and a duplicate of live map under it and also in the bottom right? i think the bottom right should be removed along with the waze map editor button?

Category for map issues
I was driving the other day and the speed limit indicated by Waze was incorrect. I went to the map issue button in the car, but that was not one of the options for telling what the problem with the map was. The editor who handled my problem then needed to contact me just to find out what the problem with the map was. While I don't mind the contact, it would have quicker and easier for everyone if a speed limit change was an option. Where I'm currently living there is a housing boom. As new subdivisions go up,…

Add to all places the field “Located in venue”
The places of the Category "Charging Station" have the field “Located in venue”. The same field should be added to public places of other categories.
