  1. A better separation between different road types in the layers panel

    When working on complex junctions, tunnels, train tracks, and pedestrians, and when all of them are in the same area, the map becomes a real mess and is hard to work with. I suggest adding additional layers to toggle off the visibility of road types and a layer to hide tunnels (or change their transparency at least and make them unselectable and disable snapping).

    Take a look at this picture, and you'll immediately understand the issue.

  2. [QOL] Have Closure End Date Auto Update to Not Be Earlier Than Start Date

    When setting a closure for the next day, for example, I have to update the start and end date even though the end date should update automatically to prevent an error in the data.

    Is it not possible to set an event to run after the Start field losses focus to update the End date field to update to match the Start date field if the end date is before the Start date?

  3. Country Manager

    The Country Manager should be a local editor as we know the changes to the road, we are driving in the country, not a foreigner using satellite images to edit the map.

    Some accidents are caused by drivers heavily depending on waze at night as they know its updated but now its not .

  5. Event edit mode in WME

    During Event Mode you only can select segments and you will not be able to edit them. Only RTCs are possible.
    You also can select one previous entered event (MTE) --> this MTE will be preselected for RTCs during event mode. Also the name of the RTC will be the same the whole time.
    Benefits: You only have to selects the segments, enter date & time and therefore save a lot of time. You also won't be able accidentally to move segments, nodes or POIs.
    Also GPS, my area, POI, issue ans script layer will be deselected automatically (as an…

  6. Offline Maps

    For me can be useful to have possibility to download offline area maps. Can be made when you're planning to go in another country without mobile data coverage or when you've issue on mobile data.

  7. Suggest "Warehouse" and/or "Loading Dock" categories for Places in WME

    Lots of warehouses in my area, lots of truck drivers are dropping Places that would meet this criteria. They usually select the Parking Lot category, and i generally end up changing them to Factory/Industrial.

  8. Temporary driving directions (roadworks/ rerouting)

    Temporary driving directions visible directly on the live map such as closures and that temporarily override the set driving direction in WME. This would be useful for one-way streets where there is a temporary reversal of driving direction due to roadwork or rerouting.

  10. A maioria das cidade do Brasil tem diversos QUEBRA-MOLAS que não são padronizados, muito menos sinalizados. Sugiro notificação para eles

    A maioria das cidades do Brasil tem diversos QUEBRA-MOLAS que não são padronizados, muito menos sinalizados. Levando uma infinidade de transtornos aos condutores, seja danificando o veiculo, seja causando até um possível acidente, caso o veiculo venha em velocidade e ao passar por esse mesmo quebra-molas venha perder o controle causando assim um acidente, que pode ser leve ou fatal

  11. Enable zoom keyboard shortcuts (Shift + up/down) when Streetview is open

    Zoom keyboard shortcuts (Shift + up/down) are not working when Streetview is open. Please bring them back :)

    They were intentionally disabled apparently - see forum post for more info: https://www.waze.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=2362272

  12. When adding a restriction is not possible to add a passed date even it is a reccuring limit

    if the restriction is valid from 1 Aug to 31 Aug and recurring every year I can't enter it after 1 Aug. This should be possible.

    Filtering own comments/reports/issues Sometimes I mark some issue with the purpose of editing it. But I'm not always able to find it again.

  14. Remove Search Disable At Zoom Levels Less Than 12

    It's annoying with the recent implementation of disabling the search bar at zoom levels less than 12 (1 - 11). In places where I'm trying to find a particular location because a city name is repeatedly multiple times in the state I end up having to zoom out to see major roads and match the map up with the DOT reports for mapping closures. Once the zoom level is less than 12 the search feature is disabled so I have to zoom back in just so I can search for the next item on the list.

  15. Use Paths or Restricted Areas to create drive through restriction

    Amount of residential areas where drive through is forbidden is increasing everywhere. I was wondering could either Paths or Restricted areas have an extra setting "Not allowed to drive through" and by setting it router would prohibit such routes. Paths would work on smaller areas but in bigger ones would have to be set with Restricted area.

  16. Average speed calculation in average speed zone

    The idea is that once you enter a speed enforcement zone there will be an aditional box that displays the average speed driven inside the enforcement. This allows you to gauge how much you can speed up after stopping or going slow for awhile.

  17. Street Parking

    We have parking lot roads that cover most parking situations, but there's not a great mechanism for handling street parking on public streets where it doesn't make sense to mark a road as a parking lot road. Examples: Many residential neighborhoods, many downtown areas.

    Suggestion is to add a flag to all driveable road types except freeway and PLR/PR to indicate "street parking is allowed", along with pricing information similar to how we handle parking lot areas. This could be part of the next phase of the parking project.

  18. Automatically select road name text when editing

    In the latest version of WME, when you open up the "edit" dialog to adjust a street name, and then click on the text box for "name" or "city", it drops the cursor at the end of the box. It would be nice if the existing text in the box is highlighted so you don't have to manually select the text to clear the box when editing the name of the street or the city name

  20. Parking along with the Parking area code and Charging info would be helpful

    Showing the nearest Parking close to destination is Cool, would be good to also see the Parking area code and if that has Charging points (wherever applicable) -
    I am in Stockholm, I usually have to struggle understanding the parking code, for which I can check the charges before I travel.
    With Electric cars becoming more popular, it would be great to have the Parking code combined with a Mark highlighting if cars can be charged.
    Example Stockholm P - which allows free charging or Mer or Incharge which are paid. This info will be really helpful.
    That way can…
