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.

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.9 votes -
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.

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…

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.

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.

Phone number extensions
Enable editors to add extensions to phone numbers by adding a semicolon after the completed phone number. This way, mobile phones will automatically dial the extension for a user.

Feature to Report Police sighted driving on-road
This feature is similar to the already existing police reporting feature. The ability to report on route (driving) police vehicles will allow drivers to be more aware on the road, as well as reduce the number of accidents caused by speeding, mobile device usage, and/or other distractions and activities.

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.

Being able to add construction just like road closures
When you make a closure through the app or through WME , you are able to select one whole segment / multiple segments to apply the road closure on.
My Idea is that reporting construction would work just like reporting/making a closure, or probably giving the user the option to just place a warning or to select a whole road segment to add the construction to
And like european maps (from germany and nearby) , the whole segment should be covered in orange and white strips... Just like road closures but orange instead of red!

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…

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.

Incluir alerta de quebra-molas. Hoje não temos como alertar sobre a existência de quebra-molas nas vias urbanas ou rodovias.
Em várias vias temos construções de quebra-molas pelas prefeituras e mesmo em rodovias, onde este pode provocar acidentes caso o motorista não saiba da sua existência. Hoje não temos como incluir alerta de quebra-molas, o que é um obstáculo muito importante de dar ciência ao motorista.

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.

WME - Dynamic Speed Camera (Icon).
Hi.
It would be a nice touch to add a - Dynamic Speed Camera (Icon), so whatever the user inputs in the Speed Value Box, it will reflect the same on the Icon. I feel this would help new users who think every Speed Camera is (30) but in reality it can be something else.
Thanks!

Add to all places the field “Located in venue”
The places of the Category "Charging Station" have the field “Located in venue”. The same field should be added to public places of other categories.

"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?

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.

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!

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 PLRMost 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…9 votes
