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

Acceptance of adding a road closure without the need to manually specify the "event"
I often handle the addition and removal of road closures via phone, but when I enter the dates, I am required to specify the type of event for it to be accepted. I believe it would be better to make the option more seamless, so that if "Add" is clicked, the road closure is added. If there is an event, I will certainly add it, but there’s no need to force me to select the "None" option just to proceed with the addition.

Allow comma character (,) to house numbers in segments
We have thousands of addresses of places on highways in our country that are identified by kilometers, so throughout the segment we find addresses numbers like: KM 18,5
This is necessary to have more accurate routes and I believe it applies to other countries.11 votes -
When a map problem is closed as "not identified" provide a way to interact with the reporter
http://waze.uservoice.com/forums/59225-cartouche-map-editor-and-waze-com-website redirect back here, so submitting here.
Any user reports should not be deleted, especially when they are closed as "not identified"

WME frontend should show backend errors
Hi,
when saving, if the backend fails, it returns a message. But often they are not localized, and in that case we get a generic
"Please try again later" which is useless because in most case the problem will not solve and the only solution is to cancel all edits.
Here is a list of messages that are not localized and need to be displayed (maybe not exactly in the same form, but at least do not tell the user to try again if it is impossible that it works.Invalid street 0 was set for venue ID -100

Thank you very much for this great suggestion.

For PPs and APs, Open Hours add the option of Sunrise to Sunset. This is true for many parks and public places.
For Place Points and Area Points, Open Hours add the option of Sunrise to Sunset. This is true for many parks and public places.

ניווט ומיפוי גשרים
אהלן, אני איתי בוקעי, ולפני כחודש עלה לי רעיון שיכול בעיניי לעזור לנהגי משאיות וגררים גדולים, הרעיון הוא שכאשר אתה מתחיל את הנסיעה או מוריד את האפליקציה, ומכניס בקטגוריה של כלי רכב: משאית או כלי רכב גדול מאוד אחר, הוא גם יכניס את גובה הרכב שלו.
וכל פעם שהרכב ייתקרב לגשר יודיעו לו באפליקציה על התקרבות לגשר, ואת הגובה של הגשר, ואם אפילו אפשר לבדוק מתחת לאיזה גשרים הוא לא יכול לעבור ובככה לחסוך הרבה בעיות נהיגה ובנוסף להעיר את המודעות של נהגים אלה לגובה רכבם, במידה ושכחו להוריד את המנוף או נוסעים עם חלק מהרכב מורם, ובכך אני מקווה…10 votes -
🔥WILDFIRE ALERTS
Show presence of wildfires and allow for user generated alerts of wildfire presence and closures due to wildfires. Create enhanced emergency alerts if user is near wildfire radius.
Partner perhaps with AREDN mesh network for live data feeds.10 votes -
Topes en Mexico
Debería existir la opción de agregar los topes en todos los estados de México, ya que cuando es de noche o llueve estos no se distinguen, ya que muchos no están pintados como advertencia de reducción e velocidad.

Traffic jam voice alerts
Add voice alerts along route for traffic jams up ahead. If you are driving you can not see them until it is too late. Right now, it is only visible on map with no voice alerts.

Description field for road closures
You want to pass on information about a road closure to other editors so that they can see why a closure was entered. A description field for internal information would be great, as with restrictions. At the moment you have to share the information, for example, through an extra map comment.

Allow high-level editors to assign low-lev editors a higher level for a defined area
Allow high-level editors to assign low-lev editors a higher level for a defined area.
In active areas of constructions/modifications of new/existing roads there might be a lot of adjustments of primary roads/highways (L4/5) which a midlevel (L3) have better local knowledge of the progress.
Today we have to request that a set of segments have be opened (lowered level) and later restored.
I propose that a high level (L5/6) editor can assign a user a higher level for a specific area and maybe specific time-period (the same way as a comment can cover an area)13 votes -
Stop automatic editing over all recordings
About two months ago a change was made so that every recorded segment is automatically edited by a bot (admin). It is suggested to cancel this change. This will make it easier to recognize a recoding, especially when scripts are used which make it difficult to notice the segment's color. A recording was previously recognized by having just a "created" line and without an "edited" line. We now cannot be sure whether the segment was edited between its creation and the admin edit, and we have to open the segment history or stop the scripts which color the segments.

Parking blue zone
In the Netherlands, but also in other countries, there are parking spaces that you can use for a certain period of time (eg for a maximum time). Blue zone parking spaces. I would like to have an option for this in WME so that it can be checked.
If more information is needed, please let me know.

Distance to overtaking section (Dual lane) on "A" Roads
Marked on Maps and audio description saying Distance to Overtaking Zone. This would avoid numerous accidents knowing that if you wait a short period of time you can overtake safely rather than risking overtaking in the face of oncoming traffic.

Clear direction cache when WME edits are made
Often when WME edits are made affecting routing to an address, the Wazer still gets the same incorrect routing because the old data is cached. Then editors get another UR because the Wazer thinks the changes were never made, and we have to explain how to clear the incorrect data from the cache. That can be a problem for those who are technologically-challenged. Not to mention time-consuming for editors who have to walk them through it, sometimes exchanging multiple messages with the Wazer. Can Wazedev find a way to automatically clear incorrect data from the cache when edits have been…

Add click now required for adding external provider link in WME
After clicking on a Google place link, we now have to click add, instead of clicking on the Google place in the populated menu. This did not used to be the case and now requires an additional step.
Please work to remove clicks, not add them unnecessarily.

Remove screen size change

The WME screen size was changed, causing you to have to scroll up/down to see the full WME screen.

When using the ruler tool in WME, please make nearby geometry handles visible.
Currently, it is only possible to see the geometry handles when an object is selected for editing and the mouse cursor is very close. Most of the time the ruler tool is used, it is to measure the distance between nodes and/or geometry handles. It would be immensely helpful to be able to see them while using the ruler tool.

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.
