Truck mode, Modo para camiones
Español: Agreguen modo para camiones, ya que al no señalar donde hay tuneles o su altura pueden ocurrir accidentes y no quiero que eso suceda.

Portugués: Modo add para caminhões, pois ao não indicar onde existem túneis ou sua altura podem ocorrer acidentes e eu não quero que isso aconteça.

Differentiate road name and road number
Many roads around the world have different names in addition to the name, such as the road number, whether federal or state. However, currently, this numbering is "hidden" in the alternative street name. In other words, the driver may even know that he is on a highway, for example, by the drawing, but he does not know which one if it has a name.
With this, in the Waze Map Editor, in the edition of the roads, the option of adding the street name or number, if it has one, could be added. Thus, Waze would show both the street…3 votes -
Identificação de lugares para condutores com deficiência nas nossas cidades
Seria possível o Waze indicar aos utilizadores os lugares para deficiêntes nas nossas cidades, os existentes, os que estão ocupados e os que estão livres? Só podem utilizar estes lugares os condutores que têm um dístico de estacionamente. Por vezes estão ocupados com carros sem dístico. Quando vamos para uma cidade seria muito interessante termos o mapa destes lugares há semelhança do que já fazem para lugares para carregamento de carros elétricos.

Option for not enabling Closed updates layer when opening UR
The latest version of WME will now enable the Closed updates layer when opening a UR. Many editors don't want or need this, so I am suggesting a toggle (setting) to prevent this from occurring.

Make road hazard and police icons bigger while using apple carplay
While using apple CarPlay in a 2020 Silverado, the road hazard and police icons are tiny little dots, while the restaurant and other less important icons are huge. Please make the icons for road hazards bigger.

Landmark and POI's categories
In WME, while editing the map, it would be useful to have the possibility to activate/deactivate categories of Landmarks/POI’s – something similar to Map Layers: I do not need to have all the categories visible and somehow polluting the map with Landmarks/POI’s like Park, Beach, River, etc.
So, the idea is to have the possibility to select those categories I want to see and deactivate those less interesting for the day-to-day editing.
Thanks.

Allow editors to override default order in which area polygons are rendered.
Often times we find that area places intersect on the map and do not render in a way that makes sense. As an example, under the current scheme, a large water body will be drawn behind a smaller park polygon where these two types of objects are drawn together. To combat this, editors are required to either draw complex coastlines twice, or break up water objects to create smaller polygons that will be drawn on top. We could improve the appearance of the map significantly if we had some control over which objects appear in front of others. This could…

We would like to get some examples with permalinks in order to be able to check this suggestions.
Any example will be highly appreciated.
Thank you!

POI's moving distance
At the moment moving a POI have a distance limitation (2km I belive?) Sometimes when a business changes phisical place to another place, like 10km away, we need to move the POI like 2km, save, move again, save again...
It makes no sense. Please remove it or allow us to move POIs further.
Thank you.

Description field for road closures
You want to pass on information about a road closure to other editors so that they can see why a closure was entered. A description field for internal information would be great, as with restrictions. At the moment you have to share the information, for example, through an extra map comment.

Types of electronic toll
As you know, if you plan a route through highways containing segments with the option “electronic toll” enabled, a time penalty will be added to the final estimated time of route. (3 minutes for each electronic toll, right?)
Here in Portugal we have 2 different types of electronic toll:
-> Type 1 - You need to reduce speed (Electronic reader) or stop (Manual ticket) to cross the toll.
-> Type 2 - You don’t need to reduce speed or stop to cross the toll.So there should be a time penalty on type 1 but not on type 2, but…
22 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.

Option to select all segments in a closure at once
It happens that a road closure has to be adjusted (end time changed) or removed. It would be very useful if you could select all segments that belong to a road closure directly at once, eg based on start / end time, description, MTE.
(this can be especially useful for large scale works, closures with many small segments, or if you have to work in WME frequently on a mobile device)13 votes -
Retorno do recurso Reportar radar
Solicito o retorno do recurso “Reportar radar” todo dia as autoridades instalam novos radares no Brasil todo e nos usuários somos surpreendidos com a multa em casa. Não acho justo uma ferramenta tão rica ser desprezada pelos seus editores.
A todo momento um susto!!!!Sugiro a volta do recurso imediatamente.

Make Map Comments selectable even when behind Area Places
Please allow editors to select Map Comments that located amidst Area Places.
At present, at least in vanilla WME, neither Map Comment points nor areas are selectable if they are amidst an Area Place. The Places layer has to be turned off (or the obstructing place moved or removed) for the Map Comment to be accessible.
Map Comments are among the most useful things for novice editors to view, but such editors may not be aware of the workarounds required to view Map Comments that are amidst Area Places.
72 votesIf we change the order, does it make sense that a place under the map comment won’t be selectable?

New suggestion subcategories: (1) UR Handling and (2) Management Tools
Please add suggestion-box subcategories for (1) UR Handling and (2) Management Tools. These are critical aspects of the experience for all Waze editors. Strictly speaking they are somewhat separate from main WME functionality, so it would be more inviting to provide dedicated suggestion subcategories.
UR Handling would involve all aspects of how URs and PURs are submitted and handled, including communication with UR reporters. Community Management Tools would involve Waze tools to support how new and advancing editors are contacted, informed, awarded greater responsibilities, or in the unfortunate but not uncommon case of difficult editor situations, contained.

Consolidate the two WME suggestion boxes
Please consolidate the two Uservoice-based WME suggestion boxes. There has been a "Waze Map Editor" subcategory of the "Waze Suggestion Box" for at least a few years, and due to default links and navigation that is still an easier suggestion box to find than this one. Or, is there a reason to have two different suggestion boxes for WME?

Hide Name Checkbox
In an effort to reduce clutter, and provide more information to the user, it would be nice to be able suppress display of the name of certain objects on the map. Parking lot areas, drive through lanes, private community roads, etc. could all benefit from this kind of feature.
The end result could be something like "Turn right into Costco Customer Parking" without a bunch of segments that are visibly named like that in the client.19 votes -
Restrictions feature (TBR): Limit access by editor level
The restrictions tool used to be simpler a few years ago. Today it allows to setup not only time/days restrictions but also permits/passes, number of passengers, toll roads and more. With new options such as "allowed", "toll free" and "prohibited" it became confusing even for higher rank editors sometimes.
I've lost count of how many times I checked editors that made 1-2 edits and that added a 24/24h 7/7d permanent restriction on what should be a simple "private road". Or even setup a freeway pass on a simple street.
This tool has become extremely complex and powerful, especially since routing…
