Flag UR reports
I would like the feature to be able to flag a UR report. This way, volunteers can reply to a UR normally. If the UR is about something that the volunteer cannot fix, allow them to have an option to flag the report with a "level needed" option, so the volunteer can put in which level volunteer is needed to fix the UR.
(I am aware that we have the unlock requests forums, but possibly add the flagged reports to the level that the volunteer requested's feed.

level
There are some roads/ buildings that are not recorded on the map, but all the edits are limited by level, I feel hard to start being a new volunteer, and I feel disappointed the notice shows me I do not meet the required level after much editing.
Waze is killing my efforts and not welcoming any new volunteers, I decide not to give my hand to this map anymore.

Add new layers for deleted Places and Segments
Currently it's impossible to restore (or even review) the Places and Segments, which were deleted. There are simply no traces left and objects are lost for good. (with their history and complexity)
I suggest to add the new WME layers with deleted Segments and Places.
That would allow the review of what, when (and by whom) were they deleted with a possibility to recover/undelete those objects. (again, incl. all attributes and history).7 votes -

Save filters
The new issue tracker is great, but I think it could be even better if we had the ability to save our own filters, so that I could create and save filters like: "no description", "unreplied", "rerported by me", etc.
For example, currently, if I want to filter unreplied URs I have to set: status = "open", types = "all types", description = "both", comments = "no comments", and uncheck "has comments".
It's really hard to always set all these options, and if I could save the filters, I would only have to do it once. Next time I could…

Allow Editors to Set Functional Status of EV Charging Stations
When mapping EVCS, I've noticed that there are comment sections on charging stations like PlugShare that allow users to share their experience using the stations, specifically if it's working or not. Would like to propose that apart from the comments, we can add in a functionality for editors to set the status of these charging stations based on user reports or own knowledge. As a result, users can see clearly the status of each charging station even before they navigate to the charging station, saving frustration when the station is unserviceable. Users should also be given the option to either…

Disable double click zoom
An option to disable this feature, or disable it completely. I've never used the double click to zoom in into something. That's the wheel for, or even the buttons on the side of the editor.
Many times when the WME becomes unresponsive or laggy it is common that while selecting something the selection is not captured, so one tries again to select what ever it was trying to select, however instead of selecting a magic zoom in comes into play.7 votes -
When adding a restriction is not possible to add a passed date even it is a reccuring limit
if the restriction is valid from 1 Aug to 31 Aug and recurring every year I can't enter it after 1 Aug. This should be possible.

Road height restriction.
To display road height restrictions for all tp yoe of vehicles. Some waze users does not select type of vehicle. At certain road, there are height restriction, if there is a notification when waze navigate trhough fastest routes it would be helpful for drivers.

Show place sub-categories sorted A to Z
When a general category is assigned to a new place, its sub-categories are shown in some constant but not obvious order. I suggest sorting the sub-categories in A-Z order (according to the used language).

Insert multiple stages between point A and point B
Insert stops between the starting point and the destination point to better plan a trip

Change the road type to "Under Construction"
Enter the road type "Under Construction" instead of using other road types to consider segments under construction.

Map Editor - More edit room than driving area
Allow editors to have more room to edit than just the area they recently drove. This would allow editors to help each other out better than they currently are. For example I'm a L1 and I've had multiple people help me and they couldn't help edit anything b/c they haven't been to my area which caused confusion when they tried to explain what they see and how to fix it. I've also wanted to help in other areas that I can't drive to on a normal basis and can't because I haven't been there recently. Removing editing restrictions on area…

Revise points awarded for different edit types
Some types of edits are time/labor intensive (adding HNs for example) but earn few points. Others, such as adding RPPs or new streets earn more points and can be done quickly. As a result some edits that really need work but earn few points are neglected. Please take a look at making points earned more equitable based on time/effort needed.

Let's hide roads built in a small number of satellites
Do, please, so that if waze sees at least three satellites, it does not display those tracks in the map editor. It often happens that you forget to disconnect waze and go in the building. Satellite reception quality decreases. And in the editor there is a lot of chaotic tracks around the building. This prevents debris find tracks of roads that were built when waze seen enough satellites for precise positioning.

Limit locking of segments and Speed Cams, as some admins are very precious about their wrong edits and lock everything
Some admins are over possessive of their edits that are wrong in many cases, and just lock everything they do including speed cam locations or small segments. This in my opinion is totally against the crowdsourcing model of Waze where you get the best up to date data by millions of users who can't actually override those locked edits!

Waze Map Editor Multi Plateforme
Actuellement uniquement disponible sur PC via le site web cela pourrait être pratique de l'avoir soit directement inclus dans l'application soit proposer une app permettant d'y avoir accès via nos support portables. car lors de déplacement nous pouvons voirs des erreurs à certains endroits et n'avons pas forcément de PC avec nous et encore moins de possibilités de connexion via celui ci. alors qu'un accès à internet par téléphone et tablette et bien souvent plus aisés.
