Streamlining changes for adding house numbers
I'd like to suggest two related changes regarding the addition of house numbers. These are small changes, but in UI design, frictions like this can add up when one is performing the same action over and over.
- Always keep the text field active when selecting a house number point
After clicking to add a house number, the text field to enter the number is automatically active and can be typed in (which is great!) But, when clicking and dragging either the house number itself or the entry point, the cursor goes away, and one has to click the number field…

Please add Japanese "Stop" signs and pedestrian crossings
In Japan, pedestrians are required to stop at places where there are stop signs and at crosswalks where there are pedestrians about to cross. In addition, pedestrians are required to slow down when crossing a crosswalk where it is unclear whether there are pedestrians about to cross. Violating these rules will result in police crackdowns and penalties such as fines being imposed on drivers. Currently, there are also "stop" cameras installed, but I understand that these are intended to draw attention to crackdown points. Instead, I would like to see signs and indications that there are crosswalks.

Select and edit multiple RPPs
When you have a street name changed, HN numbers don't need to be modified.
When you have a street with many RPP, you have to change the street name in each RPP, one by one.
This is also the argument of some publishers who do not want to use residentialIt should be interesting to be able to select many RPP of the same street (with the control key for exemple or an option on the segment) to be able to change the street name in one time and in each RPP.

Update links in WME footer - "Get help" and "Editing forum"
In the footer of WME are two links: "Get help" and "Editing forum", which are out of date.
Get help - Redirects to Waze Discuss home page instead of Wazeopedia content on Waze Discuss
Editing forum - The link works currently, but it uses the old phpbb forum link instead of Waze Discuss. Update from http://www.waze.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=8 to https://www.waze.com/discuss/c/editors/waze-map-editors-topics/4930
Low priority fix, I only post this to make my OCD happy.

Allowing a way to requalify a part of a road to pedestrian and pedestrian to road..
A road was re-qualified as pedestrian, but a part of it is still drivable for local.
I was able do split the road in two parts.
But I had to add a new road path for vehicles.
And alter the pedestrian path elsewhere (where there is a pedestrian path) in the same area.The idea is to split a road or a pedestrian path in two or more and be able to switch from one to the other on a part of the path.

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…

Suggestion: Expand “School Zones” into a Broader “Sensitive Areas” System
Waze already has a great and effective feature: School Zones.
Instead of creating new isolated features, I’d like to suggest expanding this existing model into a broader category called “Sensitive Areas.”
The idea is to reuse the same zone logic (visual boundary + contextual alert) and apply it to other high-attention environments.
Possible New Zone Types:
- Hospital Areas
Frequent ambulance traffic
High pedestrian flow
Need for increased driver awareness
Example alert:
“You are entering a hospital area.”
- Flood-Prone Areas
Roads with recurring flooding history
Could trigger alerts during heavy rain
Prevent vehicle damage and improve routing trust
Example alert:
“This…

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.

Prevent segment node merging in certain cases
Just like when the speed limit or name differs between two segments we are trying to merge, merging segments by deleting a node should not be allowed if:
- the segment elevations are different
- the number of lanes is different
- segment alternate addresses are different (or one does not contain an alternate address and one does)
The goal is to prevent segment elevation or routing errors when cleaning up seemingly unnecessary junction nodes in an area.
I might be forgetting some cases, so please feel free to add any relevant ones in the comments!

First-Time WME Login Tour / Tutorial
Create a tour/tutorial screen that pops up when a user logs in to the editor for the first time. The screen would be greyed out except for highlighted areas, where a chat bubble would explain what that button/area in the editor is for. It would also provide the means to have the editor engage the community through the forum or Wazeopedia.
For example:
- "This is the layers button. You can turn on extra layers to see roads, places, comments from other editors, etc."
- "This area contains a feed of map content, your recent drives and editable area, and…9 votesGreat thinking! We’ll share with the team; they’re always interested in new feature ideas.

[REQUEST] Feed Filters
It would be very nice if we could filter the feed by notification types (more or less like URO+ does, but without having to reload the feed several times to find the ones you selected).
Options suggested:
Notifications (checkboxes):
- PURs (and subtypes);
- URs (and subtypes);
- PMs.Areas:
- State XX (particularly useful for SMs and CMs);
- Areas driven [last XX days];
- Country (useful for CMs);
- All editable areas.Those above are what I miss the most. But, since we're at it, some extra suggestions would be:
Listing reason:
- Reported by you;

Change timing of color change for URs in Feed in WME
Presently, the bubbles in the WME Feed for URs change to Orange around 6 or 7 days, and Red at 10 days, to indicate attention is needed for a stale UR. Most AMs think this timing is too long. Either set the color change to a standard enterprise-wide timing (4-7 seems to be the most popular), or allow editors to set the color changes to personal preference.

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…

Give editors a pushbutton to clear the WME search location field
Please give editors the ability to remove the text that is already entered into the "search location" field. This could be as simple as when clicking to put the cursor in the field, all the text is highlighted so that you can start typing. Another option would be to give an icon that clears the field. Of note, the looking glass icon appears to do nothing, we could replace it with a clear field icon.
