  1. Prompt user to save Lane changes if deselecting segment

    After editing Lanes, it's far too easy to lose the changes by accidentally deselecting the selected segment you are editing if you don't apply the changes beforehand.

    This suggestion is to recognise that changes have been made in Lanes (or road width), and prompt the user to apply or cancel the changes if they deselect the segment they are editing.

  2. add RTC details to segment history in WME

    Currently in WME segment history we can see that a closure was added and when it was added, but It doesn't contain any details about the duration of the closure itself. If a closure is manually deleted by an editor I believe that also shows up in the history, but when a closure expires naturally that is not captured.

    It would be very useful if there was data about the actual closure itself. I'd like to at the very least be able to see when the RTC was scheduled to begin and end. This would help when there are URs…

  4. Mark for "No Trucks Allowed"

    In Buckeye, Arizona there is a law prohibiting semi traffic in residential areas. With interstate construction it's creating backups and people are looking for routes around it. It's all well and good till a semi tries to drive through our golf community on a road that the city extended a couple of years ago to give residents easier access to Verrado Way. The semi's hit the reflectors marking the cart path crossings. They hit the curbs that weren't designed for truck dimensions. They also come dangerously close to children waiting on the sidewalk for their school busses. The street I'm…

  5. Fix bug when multiple URs are submitted from the exact same location.

    When multiple URs are submitted at the exact same location only the last one can be opened. When you try to open the others the display hangs and a hard refresh must be used.

  6. Disable segment geometry changes in House Number mode

    When in the "Edit House Numbers" mode, the Editor allows changes to segment geometry, but then generates an error when saving the changes. It is very easy to unknowingly edit segment geometry when trying to move a house number stop point. When this occurs, any HNs edited after that geometry change need reverted.

    Please disable segment geometry changes when in HN mode.

  7. Drivable Areas

    The current solution for parking lots and gas stations is not particularly user friendly. A user driving within these areas is directed to follow parking lot road segments which can be very complex and still may not represent the paths that drivers actually follow.
    A means to give a user a general instruction to proceed to a particular exit to get going on their route could result in a better user experience, especially in the case of of multi-level parking structures where a user may drive in circles repeatedly as they proceed to the exit level.

  10. Bring back the zoom bar

    With all of the new zoom levels I'm respectfully begging for the return of the zoom bar in order to know what zoom level you are at. Since many map objects only display below a certain zoom level, in vanilla WME, you must guess whether you'll be able to see what you need. Also, the zoom bar allowed for single click zooming, rather than using the scroll wheel or multiple clicks.

  11. Add the ford option

    Waze should add another option for ford, along with the existing ones: "Unpaved", "Tunnel", etc.

    In the Waze Map Editor, the editor could choose this option for the entire length of the road that passes through a body of water.

  13. Avoid school zones

    We need to be able to choose to avoid school zones. Waze takes me through several school zones on my way home. When you don't know the area, you don't know how to go around them. This is really frustrating. The speed slows down to 20 in most zones around here.

  14. Dismiss auto completion of segment name in WME

    When providing segment names, sometimes the auto completion overrides correct street names with the already provided wrong title. I found no other way of overriding it except deleting the wrong name from all segments that use it and saving them without a name. Afterwards it's possible to add the name. This is especially problematic when one just needs to adjust something from lower to upper case and the other way round.

    In my opinion there should be an option like a cross at the end of the auto completion menu that closes it and offers the ability to provide a…

    I would suggest the creation of a specific category for the departure and arrival stations of the cable cars, cable cars, chairlifts and ski lifts etc etc.

  17. Allow editor comments in URs

    Allow editors to add comments to URs that do NOT go the reporter.
    Editors often have suggestions for possible reasons for URs, that other editors may not be aware of.

  18. Update Request - View recently cancelled route

    It would be extremely helpful on Update Requests to provide the route/path information for a recently cancelled route.

    Often users report an issue shortly after cancelling a route that gave them bad instructions. In these cases, editors can't see what the Waze app was asking them to do, versus what they actually did. Often users forget the precise details of what the bad instructions were.

    If this is already permitted to some degree, perhaps widening the time window my a couple of minutes would help capture more of these.

  19. Move closures history to the Closures tab

    Move the information about the closures history of a segment from the General to the Closures tab. This way the closures information won't interfere with important segment changes history and it will be easy to look the specific information. The "last date" will then be correct for each of them - segment changes and closure changes. Also, being in the Closures tab will allow for more data about the closure to be included (incorporating Script features - URO+ or the new WME History Enhancer).
