  2. Edit in easy Residential/Commercial Construction Area on Level 1

    I was looking to add an easy designated construction area with an entrance that would have its own designation instead of placing it under "Other" on my Level 1. The residential/commercial project also dose not have a name so I placed the Company, and project affiliates in the description.
    The edit submitted seemed to be dry and non-descriptive because of the lack of options. I am not looking to apply for a larger numerical level, but would prefer that the Level 1 be updated on the computer dashboard.
    There are major construction obstructions on the street that have no designation…

  4. Excluding Specific Road Types in Polygons Based Events

    I would like to propose an improvement to the "Polygons Based Events" by adding an option to exclude certain types of roads, similar to the school zone alerts.

    In my case, I want to set up a PBE for major roadworks, but a highway crosses at a lower level and will be notified of this event even though it is not affected.

  5. Allow comma character (,) to house numbers in segments

    We have thousands of addresses of places on highways in our country that are identified by kilometers, so throughout the segment we find addresses numbers like: KM 18,5
    This is necessary to have more accurate routes and I believe it applies to other countries.

  6. Make the WME Error Messages more user friendly

    It would be handy if WME was more detailed in all the error messages.

    Like it could at least take you to them so you can see what the issue is and also allow you to easily remove those edits causing the error if you don't have the permissions to make it or someone else has edited the element before you got to it.

    The warning notifications haven't really been touched since I started editing and a lot of the time they're not as helpful.

    User lukewsaunders even mentioned "for a beginning editor the warnings aren't very helpful and are…

  8. House number change history

    When selecting a house number the interface no longer shows who last modified the house number. History on the segment doesn't always show what was change (it might show added or deleted, but not moved or edited). Segment history needs to have more detail on what was done.

  9. House number layer should disable

    With the new house number editing flow, once you edit a house number and leave house number editing, the House Number layer remains active. The layer should return to disabled if it was disabled before editing the house number.

  10. House number editing no longer shows reason for HN error

    With the recently released change to how we edit house numbers, we no longer see information of why there is a problem (wrong side, already exists, etc). This functionality needs to be added back, or the actual error needs to be added to the error message, so we understand what the issue is.

    Details were provided in this beta post.

  11. Support house number format eg, 123/45-67

    In our area, there is an HN format that looks like 123/45-67, which is also used. However, I am unable to save the HN format in this way since WME provides an error that says, "The highlighted place has an invalid house number." Due to this, I am not able to add those kinds of house numbers in WME.

  13. Switch editor profile ROW/IL/NA

    When an editor makes changes and we want to see what was done (usually flagged in the high volume report), senior editors will often check the editor profile. If that editor is from another environment (ROW visitor to NA, etc), and their last edits were in the home environment, we have no way to see what edits were made in our environment.

    Please add an ability to change the edit history per environment. This could be a drop down on the environment currently displayed, or adding an environment option to the URL (env=usa).

  14. WME Client simulator

    With each additional functionality on WME (Paths / Far-Lanes / Jubra / Junction box / lanes / ....) gets increasingly difficult to map. This makes it more likely that us map editores will make some kind of mistake or don’t take something into consideration. Having a way to preview the changes before they are live on the map will made both editors and client less frustrated, with a more accurate map.

  15. Partners polygon layer

    Hello,
    Thanks to the Waze for Cities program, we are happy to have more and more partners, either for road management (Connected Citizens) or for event management (Global Event Partners).
    For those who do not know the details, you should know that a partner benefits from one or more polygons that characterize their rights area (data flows to or from Waze, closures, MTE).
    The community being very involved, and always on the lookout for modifications to be made in WME, or closures to be programmed, it often happens that our closures or our editions conflict with their closures.
    It is…

  16. Public construction site road network editors

    Creating an account for construction site managers to be able to add site road networks and speed limits within private construction sites. This would enable clear directions within private construction sites with detailed information including specific delivery locations, specific work zones or site offices, etc.
    The feature could be made available per construction site to a selected manager and a secondary person under an approved waze editor who would validate additions / changes before they are published to ensure they are valid.
    This could potentially also be a revenue stream as you could have a small subscription fee to enable…

  18. Hazards to include wildlife.

    Kangaroo moose and deer are a bigger hazard to road users than pothole. Would be good to warn other drivers that they are on side of the road.

  19. Editing Your Suggested Features

    Waze Live Map lets you add a new place, but in some cases, your device might not record the correct place or coordinates. When you want to edit the suggested place by placing the location symbol in the correct place on WME, it doesn't let you edit and recommends that it can only be edited by a Level 2 or higher.
    My idea is that it should let you edit your suggestion on WME regardless of your level, and then the reviewer can approve it.
