  2. Last Edit

    Track last edit for self as editor in WME and have a link to go there.

    Sometimes WME gets stuck. Requires hard refresh. But if last edit was important and was not complete, where was it. I was too busy to capture a link.

    Would have to be a 2-phase commit. Capture the location for the editor. then attempt the edit save. Otherwise, If it crashes, the last edit would not get recorded.

    Please have a link to go back to last edit on WME load.

  5. The possibility of making edits similar to Google Maps editor

    I suggest the possibility of making edits as is done in Google Maps editor. There, anyone can edit freely and these edits are subject to technical evaluation before being approved. Here we can improve and, for example, put that these edits are evaluated by editors of a higher level than the one who submitted the edit.

    The reason for this suggestion is due to the probable problem that more places, besides my city, may end up facing: currently I am a level 2 novice editor, and I live in a small town in the state of São Paulo, but this…

  8. Add map comments to the "All issues" section

    It would be great to have all map comments in one place, and the all issues sections seems perfect for this. Include some filters like comment type (point, area), comment expiration date, comment creator (me, other), etc.

  9. add the vehicle type automatically to the wme update request

    this help alot when I want to solve an update request and know what the vehicle type that chosen in the app who makes this report, because some roads only permit specific vehicles

    also you can add other info to the UR automatically, like some app sittings (avoid unpaved road, avoid freeways, avoid difficult intersections)

  10. Junction box, add ability to demand a pass or mark as private for specific route

    Junction box is still evolving so it would be good to add one more feature to it. We have situations where driving through a longer section of road is only permitted with certain conditions but driving to an address in between or to drive across the affected street from different direction is always allowed.

    Thinking about a possibility that those conditions could be set as a pass and then apply it only to specific route in junction box. This could probably also be used in a way that you could set a specific route to be private road in routing,…

  11. Event based restrictions

    Sometimes for major events and after major emergencies (wildfires, hurricanes, flooding) there are roads that are open to residents but not to the general public.

    I would suggest something that can be applied like a real time closure, but acts more like setting the road to private so it allows routing onto the segment but not through the segment.

    This may be related to Permanent Hazards instead, but however it is implemented it should not require a tile update.

  12. Add a new UR Issue filter "Last comment by" - "Not Me"

    Please add a new UR filter in the "Last comment by" drop-down - called "Not me".

    In conjunction with the "Comment by me" filter, this will then allow me to see all URs that I have commented on in the past, but I wasn't the last person to reply. This will include the reporter and other editors.

    Currently, if I select Reporter, I cannot see URs that other editors have last commented on. If I select All, I will see them, but also all of my reports that I was the last commenter on.

  15. Bicycle Paths

    Hi there Waze team, community,
    In the view of raising pollution from vehicles and health concerns due to sedentary lifestyle, I think it would be a great idea for Waze to it's bit by marking out biking (bicycle) lanes just like it is so easy to drive around with waze in a car.
    This will help people to get around quickly, safely and conveniently. Today in most part of the developed and developing world, bicycles are not given or considered a priority. And in some places it's half hearted efforts for example some central & western European countries where you…

  16. Issue Tracker Option ~ Add ability to have Map Area and Managed Area at same time

    We need the ability to have the "Map area" option selected along with either the "Managed area" or "Specific location" option selected.

    Why you may ask?

    This just happened to me.

    I keep my settings as "Managed area" or "Specific location" so that I can work URs, PURs, etc anywhere any my managed area or State without being at a specific map area

    Someone contacts me by chat for assistance in a location that is not in my managed area or specific location (whichever I have set) and I help them out. Reporter is a happy camper.

    Since I don't…

  17. Off road / Unmaintained road should not have the unpaved option

    The "Off-road / Unmaintained road" type is almost always unpaved, and in cases where it is paved, it is not to be treated as paved. Thus the "Unpaved" attribute of such a segment is not needed. Moreover, it may sometimes cause an unwanted route when there are some segments that have the unpaved attribute whereas some don't have that attribute.
    I suggest removing that attribute from that type of segment.

  20. Detour routes

    We need the ability to add detour routes (paths) that can be added and removed in real time and/or scheduled to use in conjunction with closures. Often when local authorities announce closures, the also specify preferred detour routes.
