"Show on map" in UR should zoom in to UR itself, not to its route
It happens rather often: when I open a UR and click "Show on map", WME zooms in, but the UR isn't visible. I need to zoom out 1-2 levels in order to see the UR and then zoom in to it manually.
I guess, the algorithm of WME calculates the "Show on map" point basing on the user's route. But the user saw the problem in the point of the report, so WME should zoom in to it.

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

Address announcement
When you arrive at your destination have the app say “you have arrived at 12 thirteen st” or something similar. I use Waze through another scheduling app and I always have to check the other app to see what the street number is that I’m actually navigating to

Time-based restrictions with annual repetition.
We should be able to place traffic restrictions on a segment, for example in the summer (June 1st to September 30th).
As the 1 has already passed, we can only place it from today (June 22) and we can only correct it to be correct for the next year after September.
In this case, it should be possible to insert the total (correct) date of the restriction.

Use Paths or Restricted Areas to create drive through restriction
Amount of residential areas where drive through is forbidden is increasing everywhere. I was wondering could either Paths or Restricted areas have an extra setting "Not allowed to drive through" and by setting it router would prohibit such routes. Paths would work on smaller areas but in bigger ones would have to be set with Restricted area.

A better separation between different road types in the layers panel
When working on complex junctions, tunnels, train tracks, and pedestrians, and when all of them are in the same area, the map becomes a real mess and is hard to work with. I suggest adding additional layers to toggle off the visibility of road types and a layer to hide tunnels (or change their transparency at least and make them unselectable and disable snapping).
Take a look at this picture, and you'll immediately understand the issue.

Move RRC and Camera layers to hang under Permanent Hazards
With the introduction of Permanent Hazards Railroad crossings and Cameras have been moved into the Permanent Hazard menu. It would now make (a lot of) sense to also apply this to the chart layers, to prevent people from wondering why railroad crossings or cameras are greyed out in the menu while they do have the permanent hazard layers checked on. It should be similar to how the Places layer has been restructured.
Unless it will be merged into the hazards layer of course, then this is redundant.

Road shields, ability to add different sign as override to the major one used for that street name
In Finland, we currently have named roads as "180 - Saaristotie" etc. and would like to get rid of the number in street name and just leave the shield. But that is not possible because we have quite a few locations where road number changes while road name stays the same. Another problem is when road category changes to minor road so that the number drops off completely.
So there is a need for feature where you could set an override shield to selected segments while the default sign for that road name stays active on other segments.

Drive with your friend(s) or Family
You can drive with your friends or family if you have a 2 or more vehicle convoy. This means if you loose a convoy member, you can find them on the map, and then set a route. All while your original route stays in a queue. You can also sent your friend(s) or family the route so they can set it up on their phone, car play or android auto.

WME External providers marked as Permanent closed as a Places Problem
Many Places in Waze have a External providers marked as Permanent closed, and action needed to either remove it (if the places are permanently closed) or remove the problematic External providers link( if the places are active but the External providers link are marked as permanent closed).
However, we as an editor are no ways to know if the External providers link are still active nor it is marked as permanent closed.
So. can we have WME to detect those External providers link and trigger a places problems (something like map problems) for editors to check and fix the problematic…12 votes -
House Number Mode Delete/Trashcan
With the new House Number editing mode, with the segment selected and actively editing house numbers, using the trashcan removes the segment and not the house number.
If I'm editing house numbers, the house number I have selected should be the object deleted. This is not a consistent behavior across WME.

Lane guidance: Make "View Only" and "View and Hear" behaviors consistent for "continue straight" lanes
In WME we have two options if we want to force "continue" lane guidance to be surfaced to the user - view only, and view and hear (or more recently, with and without audible instructions).
Aside from the obvious difference in whether or not an audible instruction is issued to "use the Left 3 lanes to continue straight ..." or only a visual instruction, there's another more subtle behavior change that is not always welcome - namely, if you use the "View and Hear" option, it is additionally treated as a "Continue" TIO (turn instruction override). This means that, if…

Support optional "display name" specifically for Area Places
The "name" field of an Area Place serves two completely separate functions. First, it seeks to form, together with the address, a unique search hit; this could involve a lot of text. But second, it displays on the app for everyone nearby.
Most drivers probably don't care about detail in the displayed name; for them, excessive detail may distract rather than help. For example, in some countries editing conventions dictate that rest stops along freeways should have highly detailed primary names in order to make them useful search hits, such as:
"Rest Area (no facilities) - I-680 mile 58 Benicia-Martinez…

About Waze voice directions
📣 Proposal to Waze: Introducing a User-Created Voice Navigation Marketplace
I would like to make a proposal regarding Waze’s voice navigation feature.
Currently, users primarily rely on the standard voice options provided by Waze.
Although some users can already create and share custom voices on a limited basis, I believe Waze should take this concept further by introducing a fully supported system where individual creators can produce, upload, and sell their own navigation voices within the app.This idea provides significant benefits for Waze, creators, and users alike.
■ Reasons for the Proposal
Creators with strong voice talent can monetize…

Add a flag to RTC to warn about the approaching final date
An editor should be able to "subscribe" to a specific RTC in order to receive a note message when the RTC is approaching its final date or is cancelled before the final date.

Let me create custom routes on the map editor, that can be pushed to my device(s).
I know all the best routes from work to home and vice versa. Let me create those routes in the map editor then "push" or I can "fetch" them to my device(s). Then when I get in my car and open waze and asks if I'm going home or to work the first routes it pulls from are my custom ones, and creates a heat map list or something that I can choose from.

Unlimited Sign for Germany
Hello,
in Germany, we have no speed limit on many roads. At the moment we do not enter a limit on roads without a speed limit. However, this often leads to confusion, because users do not know if a speed limit was not entered for a segment or if there is no speed limit on this segment.
It would be great if there was a possibility to enter a "unlimited sign" for Segments without a speed limit!
For example, you could simply insert a symbol like this "/" into the speed field in WME and in the Waze-App users get…

Blocking the APPROVAL or EDITS of a place if the corresponding label is off.
Now that the CREATION of a place if the corresponding label is off is implemented, the same principle should also be applied to APPROVAL or EDITS of those places.
Otherwise we can be adding duplicates to the map

Improve handling of Routing Option for L1-L3 editors
Editing segments with Routing Preference (or Routing Option) is only possible for L4+ editors.
However, WME Beta and WME Prod allow L1-L3 editors to change segments with Routing set to Unfavored/Preferred (i.e. not Neutral), and only gives a very generic error message when saving. Which is rather unproductive.
My suggestions:
- Can we improve the wording in the error pop-up?
- Can we add a warning similar to the one appearing when users select segments that are part of a Junction Box?Routing Preference: https://i.imgur.com/bH6gxI2.png

Advertisment Error Handling
Please change Paid Advertisement Handling to have them appear on the Map Editor after they have appeared and allow Editors to submit update requests that Advertisers need to acknowledge. The existing Google forms that are posted in the forum are worthless. I have submitted multiple forms for Kroger Ad issues around greater Columbus, Ohio that do not appear to have any affect. (Also, I have never received feedback on a report filed.) A month later another Ad shows up with the store still located 3 blocks away from its actual location. If the Ad Place appeared in the Editor and…
