Remove multiple closures
If you have a list of closures that need to be removed, it would be good to have a way of removing them in one go. Either by a selection check box option, or just a single Remove All option.

Fix the lane width and lane guidance interface
You have "Number of lanes" listed twice for two different things. 1) the number of lanes at the start of the segment (incoming used for lane width) and 2) number of lanes (outgoing used for lane guidance arrows).
Recommend having the lane width changed to "Incoming number of lanes" and lane guidance changed to "outgoing number of lanes"
Yes after you get used to the current configuration it can be figured out but it is never a good practice to have two different items with the same label on a single interface.
Also the Displayed lane guidance arrows are just…

Inbox indicator should show in the feed, not hide behind the little bell
Inbox indicator should show in the feed, not hide behind the little bell.
When sending a forum message to new users they will often not replay because they just DO NOT SEE the notification. The notification was moved from the feed to hide in the menu bar behind a little counter besides a bell icon. It is just not clear enough.
Please make it so that one cannot mis any inbox messages in WME.

Ability to readjust junction boxes
At the moment junction boxes can be drawn when they are being created. After the junction box is saved, the form of the boxes can't be adjusted anymore.
This is problematic because:
a) Now it is possible to move nodes inside a junction box. But if the junction box is too small, there is not enough space to sufficiently correct and move a node.b) If the junction box is not sufficient it must be deleted and recreated in order to correct some bad edits. This leads to a loss of all saved cross-times, which affects routing for a period…
31 votesGreat timing! We're currently working on the ability to readjust junction boxes. Keep an eye out for updates on the WME.

Revise points awarded for different edit types
Some types of edits are time/labor intensive (adding HNs for example) but earn few points. Others, such as adding RPPs or new streets earn more points and can be done quickly. As a result some edits that really need work but earn few points are neglected. Please take a look at making points earned more equitable based on time/effort needed.

Allow un-checking Segments layer to be persistent
When using Street Vector Layer I turn off the Segments layer but each time a hard refresh is required (which is far too often) the Segments layer is re-activated by default. Please allow the setting for the Segments layer to be persistent.

Symbol for Restrictions that repeat annually
Currently, the restrictions that are repeated annually are indicated as those that have expired with the yellow triangle.
It would be very useful to differentiate the restrictions that have actually expired from those that are not currently active but are repeated annually.12 votes -
Work closer with scripters
Develop a closer working relationship with scripters. They provide great tools that make the time we can devote to editing far more productive - UNTIL the scripts are broken when WME is updated. When possible incorporate script functionality into native code.

Display state instead of country when zoomed out
If a country uses states then when between zoom levels 5/6 to 10 it should say the state name rather than country name. Once you are zoomed out past level 5 or 6 then it should start saying the country name.
E.g. More useful to know I am looking at Queensland instead of Australia at this zoom level

Cropping tool for attached images
While adding images from the editor is a bad idea, it could be useful to have the ability to crop images. This could allow generally good image to be improved and kept instead of removed.

Improve handling of Routing Option for L1-L3 editors
Editing segments with Routing Preference (or Routing Option) is only possible for L4+ editors.
However, WME Beta and WME Prod allow L1-L3 editors to change segments with Routing set to Unfavored/Preferred (i.e. not Neutral), and only gives a very generic error message when saving. Which is rather unproductive.
My suggestions:
- Can we improve the wording in the error pop-up?
- Can we add a warning similar to the one appearing when users select segments that are part of a Junction Box?Routing Preference: https://i.imgur.com/bH6gxI2.png

Remove unpaived attribute from Off-road / Not maintained segments
An Off-road / Not maintained segment is unpaived by definition and should not have the unpaived attribute. We encountered navigation problems to destinations on such segments because of this attribute, so in Israel we don't allow to set this attribute. New editors are not aware of this problem, and think that they should set it to unpaived, and we have to explain it to them.
Please remove this attribute in this type of segments in the WME, and it will save a lot of effort.42 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.

Blocking the APPROVAL or EDITS of a place if the corresponding label is off.
Now that the CREATION of a place if the corresponding label is off is implemented, the same principle should also be applied to APPROVAL or EDITS of those places.
Otherwise we can be adding duplicates to the map

Disable closures' tab on non-drivable segments
It is suggested to disable the closures tab when selecting non-drivable segments (staurway, railroad, PBW, WT). It has no effect on routing and it distracts the attention of the driver.

Restore UR interface to prior version
WME v 2.1.344.1-4e85e205 broke the UR comments interface in numerous ways. Restore it to 2.1.285.3-612222ad

Alternative house number
Often the house numbers are not exactly in order. As, for example, there was an update in the street number and some houses remain in the old number. Or even, the same street has the same number in different neighborhoods.
With this, Waze could allow alternative numbers which are house numbers that are not following the "correct" numerical order. Still, it could allow putting letters in the numbering, like "505 A", "505 B"...10 votes -
"View in Street View" button for places
Added "View in Street View" button for places, similar to what update requests have.
This request is motivated by the fact that, at times, Street View is not aligned with the segments and you have to go hunting for the point where it is available.4 votes
