A place with an expiration date
I would like to suggest adding an expiration date to a place. When the expiration data is reached the place deletes it self from the map. This option is good for places such as events like weddings, parties, sports tournament etc..
Today, many such places which their event date passed exist on the map and nobody remembers to delete them and the map gets loaded.
The expiration date default would be of course - No expiration so that new places would not be deleted.
Such an option is already implemented in Map comments.By: reuvenirony
Link to original suggestion: https://www.waze.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1525&t=27612521 votesGreat timing! We’re currently working on adding an expiration date to a place. Keep an eye out for updates on the WME.

Setting "Repeat every year" on an existing restriction
Now that we have the "Repeat every year" checkbox for restrictions, it'd be useful if we could tick this for existing restrictions to turn them into repeating ones, without the need to then also edit the start/end dates to avoid the "Start date can not be in the past" error.
e.g. a segment has an existing restriction set for 5th September 2019 to 20th October 2019, and the restriction is one that ought to be set as recurring.
The preferred workflow would be for the editor to simply tick the "Repeat every year" checkbox and save, without any other changes…

Unsaved edits - apply to map without saving
Related to this announcement:
if there were an option to simply “apply” the unsaved edits to the map, without saving them (basically treat the unsaved edits as a draft) that would be awesome. Sometimes the browser crashes or something gets in a weird state while doing a complex edit (common use case where this happens a lot is dividing roads for the falcon snapper) and I have to start over.
I think the times when I have a crash in a place where I'm actually ready to save my changes are much rarer than when I'm in the middle…

Combine HNs and RPPs with best features of each
Combine HNs and RPPs with the best features of each. The current system of two different ways of showing house number, plus the need to change modes for HNs, is time-consuming and counter-productive. They need to be combined with capabilities such as interpolation, use on any type of road and searchability on all.

Improve PopUp in closures
Hi, im thinking in the posibility to include popup with Pic or Image when we creates a closure or Wazer (N3+) add image to existent closure, i mind, if i Drive with Waze app and that shows pics or photograpy about reason of closures, that helps to Wazers to know the reason and to us (like editors) to keep actualized and clear ending closures.
Thanks for all!
Happy Xmass, and a Happy New Year

Transparent point places while moving
Now that point places are much larger in WME, it would be helpful to make them transparent when dragging them across the map, so they can be easier aligned with features on satellite image.

Organize Urs
It would be good if when there are many overlapping URs, clicking on one would open only one window and within it the nearby URs would be sorted by date and time. This way, if a user reports several times by mistake, there is no need to respond several times, which can lead to annoyance for this user. I think it would be better organized.

Make U-turn segment length shorter to 10m.
In India it's very difficult to create U-turns with segment lengths greater than 16m.
Please make it 10m or between 10m and 16m.Thanks.

Mark gas station brands as "Top Tier"
When refueling, many drivers are much more interested in fuel quality than in the specific brand. But at present, the Waze gas-station finder offers no means to limit searches by fuel quality.
Waze can solve this problem by supporting the identification of brands selling "Top Tier" gasoline. "Top Tier" is a consortium of vehicle manufacturers that approves certain gasoline brands as preferred for their engine designs (toptiergas.com).
"Top Tier" designation is associated with all stations selling certain brands and not with any individual station. I'm not sure what mechanism to suggest for Waze to support editing a brand-wide feature like…

A/B Testing of map changes
Imagine if we could test two versions of a navigation instruction with different driver groups and use real data—like User Reports, detours, speed changes, and quick feedback—to see which one works better. This could make a big difference for things like lane guidance, difficult turns, and complex instructions.
A/B testing would give us real insights to help make navigation clearer and safer for drivers everywhere. If we could get Waze on board, it could mean big improvements for the whole map-editing community.

Traffic Event date selection
When adding a Traffic Event, when you select the beginning date and time, the end date and time should default to the same date. This would be similar to how closures work (add a closure and the start time is the current time, end time is the same day at midnight).

RTC : ability to add them on current tiles
Hi,
the real time closure have a problem :We put them in WME and WME validates them according to their current state in database. But they apply on livemap.
Imagine I have a street that is A->B. Then they decide to reverse it. So it is now saved B->A.
In WME I have B->A
In livemap I still have A->B until tiles update.To avoid routing people A->B, it would be nice to add a closure, but WME refuse since it thinks the road is in opposite direction.
It would be nice if WME could accept it by really…

Remove RS update location on https://www.waze.com/fr/user/editor/*
Since RS are in wme, on the editor page those edition are link to 0,0 position.
Would it be possible to improve the visualization of these editions because it affects the readability of the map?20 votesPlease provide more information, including screenshots to illustrate the issue.

Set GPS point color by age in WME
Please set the color of GPS points in WME by age instead of direction, The direction is already indicated by the direction of the arrow. Editors need to know how old the tracks are to see changing traffic patterns.

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 -
Extra click required before moving place point
After WME v2.115, a place point requires 2 clicks to move it. When creating a new place point, you can add the stop point. But to move the place point, you have to de-select the place point then re-select it.

Allow a specific path in a junction box to be Private/access only
If we have one-way access-only restrictions, it's impossible to map this if other routes are available.
Looking at the situation in the following graphic:
https://imgur.com/cJEtlk2There's no way to get to some of the streets without using the one road that's open to all traffic.
Having the ability to set a Private Road type to a particular route in a junction box will help resolve this situation.

Different layout for RPPs: visible numbers
Hi,
in my city there is a big number of RPPs due to side roads.
I often add them and, since there no way to copy-paste an RPP (this could also be a suggestion), I often copy road's name, then add the number and submit.
Maybe that sometimes I forget/miss to Apply road name/number, so I get no-way, no-city, no-number, but RPP's triangle doesn't allow me to notice my mistake.
It would be nice if (at least) the address number appeared on the RPP within the map, in order to check its value.
Another use for the enhancement would be…19 votes
