  2. Real Speed in WME

    It would be nice if one could specify the real speed in WME. The official speed limit is sometimes much higher than the real speed one can drive on certain roads (road condition, etc). Having these too high speeds results in incorrect route calculations. One could say that the algorithm should fix this, but that doesn’t seem to happen and one gets slower routes offered, based on incorrect info. Tools from the competition offer an option to enter real speeds.

  3. Highlight node closures

    It would be good if there can be a marking of closures if they contain junction node closures. If there are multiple closures on segments (daily from 7-15 for 4 weeks, for example), and you want to change the node closures, it's not possible to determine which have it and which don't without going into the closure. If you then go back out, you return to the top of the list of closures, so it's tedious to keep track where you were.

  4. New "comment" category: traffic cam

    It can help editors a lot to have quick access to traffic cameras or similar government-deployed cameras that are accessible for the public.
    Certain places have mapped them in WME with a Web Comment (point), but it might be useful to have a distinct category for them, so they are easy to spot.
    It can be simply a duplicate of the existing comment category, but with a new symbol.

  5. Bring back the zoom bar

    With all of the new zoom levels I'm respectfully begging for the return of the zoom bar in order to know what zoom level you are at. Since many map objects only display below a certain zoom level, in vanilla WME, you must guess whether you'll be able to see what you need. Also, the zoom bar allowed for single click zooming, rather than using the scroll wheel or multiple clicks.

  6. add RTC details to segment history in WME

    Currently in WME segment history we can see that a closure was added and when it was added, but It doesn't contain any details about the duration of the closure itself. If a closure is manually deleted by an editor I believe that also shows up in the history, but when a closure expires naturally that is not captured.

    It would be very useful if there was data about the actual closure itself. I'd like to at the very least be able to see when the RTC was scheduled to begin and end. This would help when there are URs…

  7. Add Driveway Road Type

    I'm Suggesting the Addition of a "Driveway" road type that can be added for long driveways for 1 house. Something can be shown for routing to the address using RPPs but not shown on the map as another road.

  8. Don't display a connection node where there isn't any connection

    If one segment touches another segment somewhere in the middle it should be visible if there are two or three segments. Think of a T-crossing. At the spot where the segments meet a dot is displayed, which suggest there is a connection, but sometimes there isn't any: instead of 3 segments there are only 2. Better only display this dot when there is really a connection.

  9. Import a customer address list to route management

    the possibility of adding a list of addresses via csv and using them to optimize the route that the delivery man must follow to deliver the products would be useful

  10. Smoke on Road

    Users should have the possibility to report a common danger in the road: Smoke. It can be from wildfires as described in another suggestion, however roads are not necessarily closed.
    We have dangers like "ice on road" or "snow", however those are never used in countries where winter never gets below 0°C (or is highly unlikely). On the contrary, every year there are fires causing road hazards with visibility dropping considerably.

  11. Tell the editor why they can't edit Far Lanes

    If you're below the required editor level to edit Far Lanes, then the Far Lanes interface is visible to you when editing Lane Guidance, but it's dimmed out - and there's no explanation why. For example, in Australia, Far Lanes requires Level 4 or higher - but nowhere in the Waze Map Editor does it mention this. For the user editing, the Far Lanes interface just appears greyed out for them for no apparent reason.

    All that needs to be added is some kind of message that says "You need to be a higher level to edit Far Lanes" whenever…

  12. Suggest "Warehouse" and/or "Loading Dock" categories for Places in WME

    Lots of warehouses in my area, lots of truck drivers are dropping Places that would meet this criteria. They usually select the Parking Lot category, and i generally end up changing them to Factory/Industrial.

  13. Add apple Music on Android

    So I use Apple Music on my Samsung s22 Ultra which is an android device (I can't imagine that I'm the only person who dose this). So integration with Apple music on Android would be amazing

  14. Combined Red Light & Speed Cameras

    The UK now has a growing number of red light cameras that also double-up as speed cameras. These should be able to be captured and displayed/warned as having both functions to drivers.

  16. Zoom in to selected map suggestion

    When we select a map suggestion in the Issue Tracker, the map is centered on the suggestion, but the zoom level isn't changed. The map should zoom in to the suggestion.

  17. "Check and try again"

    Save error suggestions should provide useful, actionable info to the editor to help them know what to do to solve the problem.

    "Check and try again" isn't helpful. Check what?

  18. Login: username error x design flaws

    A novice user approached me saying they tried to log into WME, but their password wasn't working.
    They said they reset the password several times, but nothing worked...

    They sent me a screenshot. See if you guys can figure out the problem.

    https://i.imgur.com/JwfFoRz.jpeg

    Reasons to blame the user:

    1) As soon as the user accesses the page, the phrase "Enter your username and password" appears.

    2) As soon as the user accesses the page, the placeholder "Username" appears in the text entry field.

    However, the user entered their email in place of the username. It's the user's fault!

  19. New road type needed between ST to OR

    Passive road type

    Passive mean the penalties attribute doesn't need to use unpaved option.
    And MAY use penalties state similar to PLR

    Most of the road actually vehicles worthy but not qualified as Street (ST) or Off-road/Not maintained (OR supposed for 4X4)

    Most of it drivable and may be the most important route for local or user that knew the road.

    Why this passive RT needed? Majority of user not even know the unpaved switch exists,
    so do to differentiate the unpaved segment shown in apps, this creates complexity for the user to use Waze very well.
    Even with unpaved…

  20. Habilitar botón de Obras Temporales

    Seria una buena utilidad, habilitar una nueva función en el panel de avisos de acceso rápido en la App, para notificar Obras de larga duración, o Obras de Corta Duración, estipulando un intervalo de tiempo fijo para mantener los avisos.
    Un ejemplo: Cortan un carril por obras, por una rehabilitación de la mediana en una autovía, el tiempo de la obra no lo sabes, pero al ver que es una obra de gran envergadura, pondrías Aviso de Obra Larga duración.
    Ejemplo 2: Vas circulando y ves que están asfaltando una calle, seguramente en 2-3 días, este terminada. Notificas aviso de…
