Practice mode in WME while logged in
As far as I know, after logging into the WME, the user cannot enter practice mode anymore.
I suggest that besides "Default mode" and "Event mode", there will be "Practice mode" that will enable anyone to go into the practice mode directly even when already logged in. This might be useful for anyone who wants to try to edit in order to test something or to illustrate some edit option (and take a snapshot of it), and also it is suggested to enable entrance into the tutorial videos from there.59 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.

Stop automatic editing over all recordings
About two months ago a change was made so that every recorded segment is automatically edited by a bot (admin). It is suggested to cancel this change. This will make it easier to recognize a recoding, especially when scripts are used which make it difficult to notice the segment's color. A recording was previously recognized by having just a "created" line and without an "edited" line. We now cannot be sure whether the segment was edited between its creation and the admin edit, and we have to open the segment history or stop the scripts which color the segments.

Harmonize poor-road nomenclature to "Poor roads"
Please harmonize the nomenclature Waze uses for roads that may beat up cars or get them dirty.
Currently, WME allows marking segments as "unpaved", while the companion feature in the app allows the driver to avoid "dirt". But unpaved and dirt are two different things; for example, many would consider a gravel road to be unpaved, but few would call it dirt. Meanwhile, even some paved roads have such poor surface quality that local drivers might wish to avoid them in favor of better alternatives.
Since the underlying goal is to allow drivers to avoid roads with poor surface quality,…

Allow high-level editors to assign low-lev editors a higher level for a defined area
Allow high-level editors to assign low-lev editors a higher level for a defined area.
In active areas of constructions/modifications of new/existing roads there might be a lot of adjustments of primary roads/highways (L4/5) which a midlevel (L3) have better local knowledge of the progress.
Today we have to request that a set of segments have be opened (lowered level) and later restored.
I propose that a high level (L5/6) editor can assign a user a higher level for a specific area and maybe specific time-period (the same way as a comment can cover an area)13 votes -
Differentiate Visiting Helpers/Raiders from True Area Managers
Please differentiate between visiting helpers/raiders and true Area Managers. At present, temporary map raiders and other visiting helpers are typically provided with editable area by granting them "Area Manager" status. As a result, community tools do not distinguish between visiting helpers and dedicated local managers. This can confuse editors, particularly beginners and visitors, who want to identify a true Area Manager for a region in order to open a conversation on local issues. It may also demoralize true Area Managers when the same status they worked hard for, and feel proud to have been granted, appears to be granted with…

Addition of a road type: Dangerous or Unsafe road
It is suggested to add one more road type: Dangerous or Unsafe road. This type will be used for example when it is a very steep or winding or bumpy road, or a road on the edge of an abyss.
The time it takes to pass the road in such cases is not the only parameter that counts.
It is suggested that the "penalty" for passing such a road will be proportional to its length. For example 1 minute for every 100m.159 votes -
I would like to suggest some corrections to your map
How do I give you changes or updates to your maps. Google allows this.
Wonders of Winter in Waterloo is shown at the correct location on the map but the address is wrong. Address is Central Drive but lists Young St as this is the park address.

Time based speed limits
Speed limits are not always a fixed ones. For example , roads around the schools have a speed limit of 30 kmph during the morning and evening hours. Whereas this limit is not valid for Sundays and during the rest of hours in a day.

Select segments included in permalink regardless of zoom level
When handling unlock requests for larger areas, or when doing extensive highway closures, we often deal with permalinks that cover a broad area.
To combat the problem currently, we have to break up the PLs, or use a script to select segments as we pan around.
It would be exceptionally helpful and a great time saver if WME would load and select segments that are specified in a PL regardless of the zoom level.74 votes -

Speed trap reporting
Our speed traps are in vehicles and not a fixed spot. It would be nice to be able to report the speed trap in app vs going in WME

3000 modifications to reach level 2 !!
I am disappointed to have to make 3.000 modifications to reach level 2 ... 25,000 for level 3 and 100,000 for level 4!
It's a 24 hour job!
At level 4 approval from the team and local experts is needed ... stupid!
it's easier to get into the FBI!
With my 56 edits that I'm so proud of ... I'm ridiculous!14 votes -

편집지역를 국가별 단위로 확대 하면 좋겠습니다.
지금은 본인이 갔던 지역만 편집이 가능 한데 이를
이를 수정하면 좋습니다.
왜. 길이 연결이 되어 있지 안거나 길이 없으면 돌아서
가며 찔게 갈 수가 있는 거리를 멀리 돌아서 가기 때문입니다.
미리 지도를 편집하여 가면 시간과 연비가 적게 든다는 것 입니다.
꼭 필요하다고 생각 합니다.

Allow assigning house numbers from the map while there.
I go a lot of places and the house numbers in some areas are either nonexistent or just plain wrong. It would be nice to edit the map while on the street with the house numbers.
