1. Add manual lock level to Junction Boxes

   Currently, Junction Boxes do not have a controllable lock level. From the look of it, the lock level displayed is the minimum level for the country that can edit a JB. For example, in the UK only L5+ editors can edit JBs, so all JBs show auto(5) in WME.

   With various changes that HQ are making into WME and the app, it seems to me that they expect a massive increase in JBs over time. U-turn prevention, junction modification for Falcon are just some of the things for which the answer often seems to be "use a JB".

   I'm not disagreeing with the increased use of JBs. But some of them in the UK are attached to very complex motorway junctions (https://www.waze.com/editor/?env=row&lon=0.19921&lat=51.87156&zoom=5) which we would definitely want to stay out of reach of junior editors.

   On the other hand, we don't want to prevent junior editors being able to use JBs sensibly in situations where they're needed.

   Without individual lock levels on JBs we don't have much choice. In order to protect complex, important JBs we have to lock junior editors out of JB use entirely.

2. Add "above" number of days since last comment filter to Issue Tracker

   In the Issue Tracker, we have "Last 30 Days" and "Last 7 Days" options in the "Last comment time". This filters out the URs since the last comments were before 30 or 7 days.

   Can we have another filter for "Above <number> of Days" ago?

   The number of days on the Last and Above options should be configurable for the user. As such, if I enter 3, I should see all URs with Last Comment that was made more than 3 days ago.

   We can use a between-dates filter, but this must be changed daily. If we have the above option, this wouldn't need changing.

3. Polygons in WME should just be a thick border instead of a full fill

   To allow for easier interaction with polygons and segments & places inside polygons, change the polygons to be a thick border instead of it being a filled polygon.
   
   With the expansion of features that include many polygons beyond just places (JBs, Permanent Hazards, Natural features, etc), it would make it much easier to work with these shapes.

   OpenStreetMap does this very well.

4. "Hide street name" option

   Include a checkbox near the street name for segments, so that when it is selected the name of the street does not appear on the live or client map. This would be useful for segments that have a name that would benefit directions, but could be confusing to see on the map. For example, seeing the name "Main St Frontage Road" on the app, especially when zoomed out enough that the name appears right over "Main St", could easily cause confusion and take longer for the driver to comprehend the map, especially if they are familiar with the area.

5. Close a place for a fixed period

   Sometimes I receive UR for places closed for works (construction site, temporary closure).
   It would be nice for editor to be able to close a place for a fixed period, as you can close a road.

   I had the case on 2 gas stations under construction closed for several months. A "temporarily closed" button or closing dates with automatic reopening would be great!

6. [Segment Attribute Request] Treat 2 Way as Divided

   I would like to have the ability to draw a single 2-way segment but be able to mark it as divided so it does not say you have arrived until on correct side of road. Sometimes you may have a segment that may not really need to be divided into 2 One-Way segments but if you want routing to offer the correct directions you would have to divide the segments. In my picture below, the red line shows what Waze currently does (it says you have arrived as you pass the house) The green line shows what it should be doing. This can be accomplished by dividing but if there was an attribute that says "divided segment" that Waze would treat the 2-way segment as 2 One-Way segments, then we would not have to add extra "unneeded" segments but still give the correct routing.

   I really think this would go a long way in helping when we have just a short segment that is divided along a longer undivided segment.

7. Change Forum Sharing Option autofill

   When an editor uses the forum sharing options, new editors are consistently adding the wrong lock level to their request.

   For example, the current Unlock Request automatically fills in the following information:
   Hi Editors,

   I would like to be able to edit the following segment(s).
   Your help would be greatly appreciated.

   Permalink: https://waze.com/en-US/editor?env=usa&lat=29.63406&lon=-104.27920&zoom=5&segments=516527406
   Reason:
   Unlock to level:

   Thank you in advance,
   The "reason" and "unlock to level" kind of blend in.

   My suggestions would be to automatically fill in the current lock level of the selected objects and the rank of the editor making the request for the "unlock to level" information

   As a sample:
   Hi Editors,

   I would like to be able to edit the following segment(s).
   Your help would be greatly appreciated.

   Reason:

   Permalink: https://waze.com/en-US/editor?env=usa&lat=29.63406&lon=-104.27920&zoom=5&segments=516527406

   "Unlock from level 5 to level: 1" (autofilled based off object level and editor rank)

   Thank you in advance,

   NOTE: If the editor happens to select multiple objects with multiple lock levels, you can use the highest lock for the request.
   i.e. 3 segments are L3 and 1 segment is L4 and editor is L2
   "Unlock from level 4 to level: 2"

   Thanks for your consideration

8. External providers: Don’t suggest extremely far places

   WME uses Google Maps as the external provider in Israel and sometimes suggests places located in other countries, thousands km from the edited place. There should be some filtering to exclude very far places.

9. Subscribe to segment

   It may be nice for us to be able to "subscribe" to a segment ID, not sure if it should be rank locked or not.

   Basically, add a check box on a segments panel to subscribe to changes of the segment.

   When subscribed to a segment, if a change is made to a segment the subscriber gets an email notification that their segment has had changes (and of course provide a PL)

   Among other possible uses, it could be used to get notification if someone makes a change to a segment that is part of the Toll Price feature.

10. Prompt user to save Lane changes if deselecting segment

    After editing Lanes, it's far too easy to lose the changes by accidentally deselecting the selected segment you are editing if you don't apply the changes beforehand.

    This suggestion is to recognise that changes have been made in Lanes (or road width), and prompt the user to apply or cancel the changes if they deselect the segment they are editing.

11. Expand external visual cue on mouseover

    Several years ago the WME interface was changed and it reduced how much information was visible when adding an external provider. You could no longer see the difference between two entries because the text simply isn't visible and longer place names make it worse. Editors would have to select a provider to see the address and determine if it was correct. If it was not, they would have to search again and select another entry. Repeat the process until you find the correct entry. If there is no entry, you have tried five different times to find out. For some places, there can even be multiple entries for a given store (Walmart Supercenter, Walmart Pharmacy, Walmart Auto, etc).

    To deal with that, a script was written that allowed editors to mouse over the entry and and see directly on the map where the Google pin is located. This gave a very simple visual cue as to which entry was correct. We could simply hover over the entries until one has the pin in the correct location, ensuring accuracy and saving a lot of time.

    Developers were recently asked to remove this functionality, due to its use of the Google API within WME.

    Please add a native mouseover indicator of the Google pin location for the external entry.

12. Incorporate Place Interface Enhancements Script RPP Editing Options

    The Place Interface Enhancements ("PIE") Script provided an easy way to add RPP's by offering to auto-populate the 'street name' field with values from the nearest street. Optionally, one could have it ignore the checking for the street name from nearby PLRs and PRs:

    (Options):
    - Use street name from closest segment
    - Use city name from closest segment
    - When the primary is "No city" look for an alt city
    - Ignore PLRs & unnamed PR when using closest segment's name and city

    The script stopped working after an update to WME earlier this year. It would be an immense help to incorporate these features in WME, making the process go quicker.

14. Issue Tracker Option ~ Add ability to have Map Area and Managed Area at same time

    We need the ability to have the "Map area" option selected along with either the "Managed area" or "Specific location" option selected.

    Why you may ask?

    This just happened to me.

    I keep my settings as "Managed area" or "Specific location" so that I can work URs, PURs, etc anywhere any my managed area or State without being at a specific map area

    Someone contacts me by chat for assistance in a location that is not in my managed area or specific location (whichever I have set) and I help them out. Reporter is a happy camper.

    Since I don't have "Map area" selected, I don't see that the reporter had already submitted 2 URs. Another editor that finds those URs and sends me a message to find out if I am going to close the URs since I resolved them.

    In order for me to see the URs, I had to go into my settings and switch to Map area, then I could resolve them.

    I should be able to have my setting show me URs, PURs, etc in my Map area at all times (should be top of the list) and my normal URs, PURs, etc based on my Managed area setting below them.

    Let me know if you have questions.

15. Automatic UR handling

    An update request (UR) without any text can be automatically handled:
    1. There will be an automatic system response to the UR that will invite the user to add more details to his request in the WME (include a link) or in the forum (include a link to the local community forum). The user will get an e-mail as fr any other manual response.

    1. Every such UR that has no more responses (other than the automatic one) will be closed as "not identified" after 7 days.

    That automatic handling will save a lot of time wasted by area managers. A large percentage of the URs are with no text, and out of these very few get a response from the user when inviting them to give more details.

    This idea is similar to the idea here:

    We plan to work on updating UR editor reply email in the near future.

18. To automatically remove duplicates from "external providers"

    If you have have duplicates in the "external providers" of a POI, WME should automatically clean it. See example for this one which has twice the same Google Maps place :

19. Allow for issue tracker to show results in descending order

    Currently the default view of issue tracker results is ascending (newest to oldest.) It would be nice to allow the results to show in reverse (oldest to newest.) Sometimes I want to address the oldest issues first so that there are not so many backlogged.

    Thanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

    
    

20. Allow road closing for low rank editors

    Allow lower rank editors (like me) to close roads from within WME. Since Waze doesn't want to allow low ranked editors to close roads (for good reasons), the solution would be to only show the closed roads for the editor and group. If others value my contribution, they can subscribe to my group and get additional road closure updates.

    It might also be possible to close a road and have it marked unapproved, awaiting for a higher rank editor. But that unapproved closure would be active for the user and group within the App.

    If the closed road gains enough confidence from other users, or verified by a higher rank, then a higher rank editor can approve the road closure, and be active for all Wazers.

    And of course, the low rank editor should get points for trying to improve the commute for other wazers. For reporting a closed road, that should be MAJOR points since it has high impact.

    And if that users earns confidence, there should be no reason to wait for a higher rank editor, or wait until that editor earns 25K points.

    Why?
    My commute experiences seasonal flooding. Within WME I can't close the road at my level, nor am I going to drive to a closed road just to report it. But I need Waze to avoid the road and route me, or if all roads/routes are closed, tell me I can't get to my destination.

    The risk and potential abuse of low rank editors is a non-issue by my proposed solution above.

    Allow lower rank editors (like me) to close roads from within WME. Since Waze doesn't want to allow low ranked editors to close roads (for good reasons), the solution would be to only show the closed roads for the editor and group. If others value my contribution, they can subscribe to my group and get additional road closure updates.

    It might also be possible to close a road and have it marked unapproved, awaiting for a higher rank editor. But that unapproved closure would be active for the user and group within the App.

    If the closed road gains enough… more
