Segregating effective and suggested closures
WME shows two kinds of closures:
- effective closures, affecting routing and visible on livemap
- suggested closures, non affecting routing and not visible on livemap. Those suggested closures always have a duration equal to a multiple of 24 hours, starting and ending at the same time of day (on different days, obviously), and are usually created by editors having a layer lower than 3. Those suggested closures result from closure reports made from the app.
The WME displays both kind of closures using exact same visuals: it is necessary to open and examine the closure, to determine if it…32 votes -
Issue Tracker: Stop defaulting to All Issues - remember last saved filter selected
If you don't have a Pinned Save Filter, Waze should remember the last Save Filter selected rather than reverting back to "All Issues".
If I'm working on a Saved Filter, and need to refresh, it's more than likely I want to continue working on that same filter afterwards.

Allow closing/seeing closures on red turns
Why?
I got a UR with: from here you can only turn right.
- I changed the wrong turns from green to red.
- I would like to close the one I changed to have the change effective immediately instead of the next map update.The same is currently possible for one-way segments (you can close the other direction).

Share location permalink type
In the Share Location popup, when in beta WME, please consider adding option to change permalink to Production WME.
This is to allow easy sharing of the permalink to all users.31 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.

Update gas prices where Waze venue is linked to GM place via external provider
Idea by reivaxX162.
Around the globe, Google Maps has already rolled out gas station prices. Many gas stations mapped in Waze are linked to GM via the external provider setting. Waze could automatically update the Waze gas prices where it is linked via the external provider. This would allow automatic price updates globally with little ease, and leverage the work GM has already done.

Real-Time Speed limit
In relation with the time based speed limits, it would be interesting to have the possibility to change speed limits in real time.
In some european countries for example they limit the speed limit on all the highways in a country to 90kph due to too high Co2 levels.Having this option would set waze apart from other navigation apps.

Multiple entry points
Waze should re-enable its multiple entry points feature (eg one side of building or another).
Instead of using the first entry point, Waze users should be directed to the one that’s marked as the main point in the editor.

Events: additional tickbox "event needs push notification"
Requesting push notifications for events through the editors' community still doesn't work very well and is not rewarding.
Now contributors get a notification if their event was published by Waze staff but they get no notification about the event being reviewed at first. If Waze decided to not send a notification, the contributor doesn't get to know the reason, nor the information that the decision has been made!When I enter major events I -as a local member- often know that they have a high impact on traffic in the near area.
I suggest adding a tickbox to clearly show…

Add keyboard shortcut for Permanent Hazard Direction
At the moment, the UX isn't very user-friendly when it comes to selecting the direction for Permanent Hazards. We have to choose between A/B without actually seeing where A or B are..! 🙄
A/B are displayed only when segments is selected, but hazard direction can only be adjusted when hazards themselves are selected.
Since we already have a shortcut to 'Toggle segment direction', could we extend this functionality to Hazards as well?

Speed limit map error
I would insert the ability to see the speed limit map errors reported by users with the function to be enabled or disabled in the control panel.
This possibility, unfortunately, is only available for those who have access to the WME beta but it can be free for everyone.30 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.

set none as default when selecting an event for real-time closures
Most of the closures I add to the map (95%) need no traffic event associated with them because this is a minor use case.
Now I still have to click the event field and select none manually every single time which takes unnecessary effort and time. In the meantime I could have added other closures.
Therefore,, it would be a huge improvement if none was pre-selected.

Feature Proposal: Visual Markers for Start and End of Average Speed Zones
Dear Waze Team,
We are writing to you on behalf of the community of volunteer map editors and Waze app users in the Czech Republic. We would like to propose a new feature that, in our opinion, would significantly refine and clarify the display of average speed camera zones on the map.
Currently, we lack an effective way to visually mark the precise start and end points of an average speed zone on the map. We therefore propose two possible solutions:
- A New Icon with No Sound Alert: We propose the introduction of a new, non-audible icon that editors could…

Use of alternate city names for routing
Several years ago the decision was made to use the postal city as an alternate city name for routing to addresses in rural areas. According to Wazeopedia "Waze founder and CTO Ehud stated in a US meetup that a search algorithm is so much work to build correctly and maintain, that Waze does not want to spend the time, money or energy to build their own, and are happy to stack the Waze matching process on top of the Google search algorithm." As a result, WME editors have spent untold time and energy adding the postal cities to these segments.…

SLUR behavior (speed limit update request)
Hi,
a few month ago Irad told to make suggestions about SLUR, I took my time but here it is :In the beginning, we had a SLUR for every request, and there were way too much of them because sometimes there is a lag in showing the new speed limit so people were reporting speed limit that were already good, and also because speed limit were not visible in the client until you exceeds the limit.
The idea of grouping them making cluster was implemented (against our will), and according to Merav last time I spoke with her about…
29 votesHey!
Thank you for this suggestion.As it was announced in the forum we are currently working on improving the SLUR workflow and user experience.
This suggestion will be taken into consideration in the work.So, thank you again we will update accordingly.

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…

The fact that all segments entering a Junction Box are 'locked' is a real pain. Why not do a little 'behind the curtain magic'.
Here is how I suggest you do this: when any segment entering a JB is 'touched' in a way that would currently cause a 'flag' to warn the user that the segment is locked, WME would instead 'take a quick snapshot' of everything involved in the JB and save that information.
A pseudo picture of the JB would be created where every segment entering the JB would be 'cut' where it crosses the boarder line of the JB.
The portion of each segment within the JB would retain the current segment # and other information as appropriate. The portion of…29 votes -
