Layer toggling keyboard shortcut for Hazards
There are some discrepancies between the shortcuts and the actual Layer menu when it comes to Hazards. Currently, there are shortcuts to toggle Speed cameras and Railroad crossings only.
However, there are other Hazards with more frequent instances on the map that could also benefit from keyboard shortcuts. In my opinion, a single toggle for the entire Hazards section would be sufficient. Nonetheless, I'd welcome additional individual toggles along with the general one.

Add more keyboard shortcut options for drawing Hazards
Right now, we've got a long list of Permanent Hazards available to map, but only two (Speed bump and Speed camera) have assigned keyboard shortcuts.
Having more keyboard shortcuts would be super helpful for productivity. Personally, I think the default shortcut for each hazard could be blank/none, so users can set their own preferred keys for the hazards they use most often.

Add keyboard shortcut for Permanent Hazard Direction
At the moment, the UX isn't very user-friendly when it comes to selecting the direction for Permanent Hazards. We have to choose between A/B without actually seeing where A or B are..! 🙄
A/B are displayed only when segments is selected, but hazard direction can only be adjusted when hazards themselves are selected.
Since we already have a shortcut to 'Toggle segment direction', could we extend this functionality to Hazards as well?

Crosswalk Hazard
Adding the feature to mark crosswalks that require you to yield to pedestrians. In many of our towns there are random crosswalks that are not part of an intersection that state law requires drivers to yield to any pedestrians that walk out into it. It would be nice to have a hazard similar to the speed bump hazard to mark these locations.

Sync Discuss Notifications
Discuss notifications should be visible through the notification button built into the editor. This would boost engagement and help people get reminders of beta releases, updates to unlock requests, etc.

Setting Issues Tracker filter as default should also select it
If a user marks an Issue Tracker as default, obviously he/she means to use it. So, select the marked filter at once, no need to do it as a separate step.

Drawing similar type segments
In WME Advanced Preferences, similar to the option to “Draw new roads as two-way,” add an option to be able to change the default Road Type to something other than Street.
Helpful when adding a new highway/freeway or a parking lot where all the segment types are the same, I would like to check a box in the Preferences to either “Draw all segments as [Road Type selection]” or “Default Road Type [selection]”

For WME kindly have an option to be able to draw the same Road Type over and over, without having to draw each segment as STREET and then se
Drawing new road always as STREET, please have an option to draw new road as another road type other than STREET. it saves a lot of time in editing

See Editable Areas and Area Managers when zoomed out
The layers "Editable Areas" and "Area Managers" are only visible at zoom layers 12 and above.
It would be helpful to see these layers at larger zoom levels to better understand what areas you can edit, and who the relevant Area Managers are.

Ability to change map from dark to light setting on car play
For long drives on highways when you have your headlights on during the daytime. You should be able to toggle between dark mode and light mode on the car play screen of the car as you are not allowed to touch your phone while driving. It only needs to be a simple toggle bar of light-dark

In Greenville, WI, most of our addresses start with a letter in front of the number (e.g., W6000 Greenville Dr). Can you allow letters in the street number to ensure accuracy?

Add passes or permits at driving prohibited restrictions
Currently, WME can only select passes or permits under the following rules in the restriction of roads
-Driving is “allowed” for
-Driving is “toll free” forWe suggest that passes or permits can also be selected for the following rules
-Driving is “prohibited” forThis change would allow local rules in your country to be applied even in local countries that do not have their own passes or permits.
For example, in Japan, there are some public roads that cannot be passed due to motorcycle engine displacement. By setting passes or permits for prohibited rules, local rules can be incorporated…

Add App reports feature to web interface
It would be good to be able to add the reports function currently available in the app also to the web interface. This way, dispatchers, emergency services etc. could also add reports on disruptions through the web without having to physically be at the issue location.

Favorite locations
It would be useful if the user could save his favorite locations. This facility exists in Google maps and is completely missing from Waze.
