Increase the number of things that can be modified at country management level.
For example each of the road types creation, could be limited to an editor of a certain level.
Similarly, the walking tracks, railroads, cameras, etc.52 votes -

Tell us if the reporter closes their own report
(Copied from https://www.waze.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1525&t=228417)
Please tell us if the reporter has closed their own UR (don't need to know their username).
Quite often a UR is closed by an editor, and it gives their username in the email and closed UR. The problem is we aren't told if this is just some random editor, or the reporter themselves.
It annoys me when an editors closes URs without comment, as it goes against etiquette, but I wouldn't be so bothered if I knew it was the original reporter. If it wasn't the original reporter, then we could follow up with the…

Show conflict choice option on deleting junction node
(Copied over from https://www.waze.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1525&t=229014)
If you try to delete unneeded junction node, but it can't be deleted due to a conflicting option between then, at the moment you need to inspect each segment to see what the differences are. This is especially frustrating when there may be a hidden speed limit set on a one way segment.
Can a dialog box pop up on deletion of a junction node if there is a conflict to allow the editor to select one of the conflicting settings for the newly joined segment?
OR
Create an error message saying the junction node…

Invisible RTC's and visible TBR's
Add the ability to control the visibility of TBR and RTC in the client (and define it in WME).
They say they often use the wrong type, just to match the required visibility.1 vote -
Editing permissions - change request
I suggest to chane some editing pernissions as follows (the current required level is given in parenthisis):
- Giving a "narrow street" road type to a segment: 3 (1)
- Entering a TBR / TBTR (this includes difficult turn and toll road designation): 3 (1)
- Enter a turn instruction override: 3 (1)
- Delete a segment that someone else created: 3 (2)
- Create a new MTE: 4 (1)
- View RTC details (view only): 1 (4)
- View of house numbers: 1 (2)

combine Lane guidance segments
With the newly implemented Lane guidance we see new problems rising up.
In belgium, beeing densly populated, we somtimes have several entry's or exits of the highway following up on each other very closely.
sometimes even as close as 20-50 meters.I would like to have a sort of junction box type of tool to combine 2 lange guidance segments.
for example:
2 highway exits within 50 meters. I want the Lane guidance before the first exit to allready show in what lane I have to stay if I have to take the 2nd exit.It's kind of hard to…

Thank you for this suggestion.
We have added it to our back log. It will take some time. But it will be be solved as part of JB revamp.Thanks

custom alerts
I would like to be able to place custom warnings in WME that come through to the app.
problem:
- certain tunnels see a lot of truckers or camper vans getting jammed because they are too large to enter.
- school area's getting dangerous when people who do not know the area are routed through due to a traffic jam somewhere else.Idea:
I imagine this like placing a speedcam in WME but then beeing able to fill in a message (with a set maximum of characters).
We could use those to put warnings in problematic areas, and these can…18 votes -
Avoid hills with stop lights
For manual cars we have lots of people getting very close to us on steep hills and I have to dump my clutch just so I don’t roll back and I can’t keep doing that on hills with stop lights. I think it would be great for a option to avoid hills with stop lights or stop signs so manual cars don’t get stuck on hills. I think it would be a great feature for a lot of people

Add manual lock level to Junction Boxes
Currently, Junction Boxes do not have a controllable lock level. From the look of it, the lock level displayed is the minimum level for the country that can edit a JB. For example, in the UK only L5+ editors can edit JBs, so all JBs show auto(5) in WME.
With various changes that HQ are making into WME and the app, it seems to me that they expect a massive increase in JBs over time. U-turn prevention, junction modification for Falcon are just some of the things for which the answer often seems to be "use a JB".
I'm not…

2D Hazards
I'm not sure if this sort of thing will be covered in Permanent Hazards development, but it would be very handy to be able to define an area polygon to which a hazard report would apply.
To me, the obvious application would be for prolonged construction zones where roads remain open but users ought to be made aware of an issue ahead.
How I see this working:
An editor would draw a polygon over the affected area and then choose a hazard type and add an optional comment to the polygon. It should be possible to define schedules and an…6 votes -

New cameras have sent cars down residential roads at all times of the day, even though the cameras only operate for two short periods dur
New Motor Vehicle No Entry cameras on the road outside a local school mean traffic avoids them by turning into a residential street, causing noise and pollution. The cameras only operate for restricted periods around school hours, yet cars now avoid the school road because drivers assume the cameras operate at all times. Can the controlled hours be factored into the driver information so they know when to avoid the road and when it is ok to use it?

Please add traffic on map when not navigating so that we can see traffic like Google maps does.
Please add traffic onto map when not navigating so that we can see traffic congestion like Google maps does. I tend to just open Waze for traffic issues and police and hazards when driving to work everyday because I don’t need to navigate to work normally.

Add a road closure once at destination
It would be really helpful to add a road closure on the map once you're at your destination. Often you are driving and can't do this, especially if you can't drive near the closure
