  1. Addition of danger on the road: Smoke

    Users should have the possibility to report a common danger in the road: Smoke. It can be from wildfires as described in another suggestion, however roads are not necessarily closed.
    We have dangers like "ice on road" or "snow", however those are never used in countries where winter never gets below 0°C (or is highly unlikely). On the contrary, every year there are fires causing road hazards with visibility dropping considerably.

  2. Issue tracker filter incorrectly showing drop down menu arrow direction

    In the issue tracker filter settings, currently the drop down arrows in the map issues filter settings for UR, PUR, MP and map suggestions are showing an up arrow when collapsed and a down arrow when expanded.

    However, in other best practice design scenarios, it should be the other way around. That is, when collapsed, show a down arrow so when you select it, the menu expands. Likewise when the menu is expanded, show an up arrow so when you select it, the menu collapses. This is done correctly in other dropdown menu options in WME

  3. Making left side panel shorter with little tweak

    I'd suggest to change "Edit house numbers" text to house icon and moving it before "Select entire street" text -> One row shorter side panel. Also, moving "View History" text next to road length field would shorten the panel by yet another row, there's plenty of space for it there. See https://ibb.co/b5gVSmb

  4. Allow addition of new traffic signal or stop sign where one did not previously exist.

    Allow editors to add a new traffic signal or stop sign. Allow alert similar to RR crossing sound. Set alert to expire 30-45 days after signal or stop sign is put into service.

  6. Have Waze announce which side of the street your destination will be on when you've turned on to the street.

    Have Waze announce which side of the street your destination will be on when you've turned on to the street. For example: your destination is X feet ahead on right/left. Or you've arrived at your destination (read address would be great also) on right/left.

  7. Provide the option for police reporting to have a "in median" option that would notify both directions of travel on a road with a median

    Provide the option for police reporting to have a "in median" option that would notify both directions of travel on a road with a median that there are police activity or police speed traps in the center of two roads that are separated by a median. If someone only reports it on one side then the other side won't be notified. Has happened to me numerous times, especially on state roads/highways/interstates with larger car width or larger medians.

  8. Address announcement

    When you arrive at your destination have the app say “you have arrived at 12 thirteen st” or something similar. I use Waze through another scheduling app and I always have to check the other app to see what the street number is that I’m actually navigating to

  9. Make RPPs a bright pink

    Change the colour of the RPP from a camouflaged dusky pink (same shade used to literally camouflage reconnaissance Spitfires in WWII) to a bright pink like #fa0584 to make it more visible in urban backgrounds.

  10. Import a customer address list to route management

    the possibility of adding a list of addresses via csv and using them to optimize the route that the delivery man must follow to deliver the products would be useful

  11. Shortcuts on in car play screen for drivers

  12. Organize Urs

    It would be good if when there are many overlapping URs, clicking on one would open only one window and within it the nearby URs would be sorted by date and time. This way, if a user reports several times by mistake, there is no need to respond several times, which can lead to annoyance for this user. I think it would be better organized.

  13. service roads

    Would love to have a button to correct that you are driving on the service road and not the highway or the reverse way.

  14. Transparent point places while moving

    Now that point places are much larger in WME, it would be helpful to make them transparent when dragging them across the map, so they can be easier aligned with features on satellite image.

  15. Turn highlight

    Currently a turn is highlighted when you hover over it in the LG menu. But if you then click the turn to change it, the highlight disappears when selecting a different arrow icon. Please keep the highlight when the mouse moves over the dropdown.

  16. Provide an ability to fix divided highway and ramp segment direction

    Currently, when applying closures to divided highways and ramps, we will often get "mixed" segment directions (some A --> B and some B --> A) when multiple segments are selected. It becomes very difficult and error prone to apply a closure in this case. It would be much better if all one-way segments in a region flowed the same direction (I suggest A --> B in the direction of one-way travel), so that when we select multiple segments to apply a closure, they are not "mixed direction". This could be implemented with a WME utility, or could also be applied…

  17. Feature to Report Police sighted driving on-road

    This feature is similar to the already existing police reporting feature. The ability to report on route (driving) police vehicles will allow drivers to be more aware on the road, as well as reduce the number of accidents caused by speeding, mobile device usage, and/or other distractions and activities.

  19. Añadir editores en UR

    A veces es necesario involucrar otro editor en un UR, yo normalmente envío el PL y le contacto por el foro, chat, etc... ¿sería posible enviarle el UR al editor directamente desde el UR con algún comentario?

  20. Limites velocidas estandares España

    En España hay unos limites estandar, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 110, 120, creo que sólo esos, pero no sé porqué el editor permite números no usados (p.e. 82 o 17), se podría hacer un desplegable simplificando y algún "otro" para poner el número exacto.
