Consolidate the two WME suggestion boxes
Please consolidate the two Uservoice-based WME suggestion boxes. There has been a "Waze Map Editor" subcategory of the "Waze Suggestion Box" for at least a few years, and due to default links and navigation that is still an easier suggestion box to find than this one. Or, is there a reason to have two different suggestion boxes for WME?

Add garden center place category
Include "Garden center" or "Landscaping" as a place category. Right now the most accurate thing to call places like this is just "Shopping / Services", however almost every individual place in this category can be given a more specific category.

Optimize Road Shield Display on all Live Map Zoom Levels
Different zoom levels of Livemap appears to display road shields differently some of the "higher" zoom levels shows so many shields that it is distracting and does not look polished. All zoom levels should be optimized to group shields so that the map isn't littered with shields.
Please see example screenshots

Editor Rank Level is not fair
Waze's point rewards system for editors is unfair and does not promote the entry of new editors or even the permanence of newcomers.
From Level 1 to Level 2 - Require 3000 map edits
From Level 2 to Level 3 - Require 25000 map editsIt´s not feasible for a normal person using just WME without bath scripts
this will result in a community that does not renew itself.
It will drive away new editors and weaken the communityplease review this !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Exit numbers on freeways that change the voice instruction
In some countries, including here in Australia, freeway exits often have exit numbers on the signs. Currently, we include these in the ramp segment's name. This means that, for example, a voice instruction may sound like this:
"In 1 kilometre, exit to the left onto Exit 24: C407 - Clyde Road to Berwick"
You can see how the word "exit" is repeated. If we could mark exit numbers on the map, then the voice instruction could give a more natural sounding sentence, for example:
"In 1 kilometre, take exit 24 on the left onto C407 - Clyde Road to Berwick"

Mark segments as "slip lanes" that delay voice instructions
At the moment, ramp segments generally delay voice instructions until you have merged or turned onto the segments at the end of the ramp, such as a freeway or highway.
Australia and some other countries utilise "slip lanes" at some intersections, which is basically a left turn (for countries that drive on the left) that does not use the main intersection.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slip_lane
When a slip lane is mapped on Waze, we usually implement the turn instruction where the driver enters the slip lane, as that is where they need to be told to turn. However, this can mean that Waze…

Provide an ability to fix divided highway and ramp segment direction
Currently, when applying closures to divided highways and ramps, we will often get "mixed" segment directions (some A --> B and some B --> A) when multiple segments are selected. It becomes very difficult and error prone to apply a closure in this case. It would be much better if all one-way segments in a region flowed the same direction (I suggest A --> B in the direction of one-way travel), so that when we select multiple segments to apply a closure, they are not "mixed direction". This could be implemented with a WME utility, or could also be applied…

Seaarching on crossings
By long streets, it is easier to place two street names in the searching box so you can find direct the correct crossing, like it is possible in Google Maps

Road Closure Metrics
It would be nice to be able to see how many people were successfully rerouted around a closure. We specifically use road closures for emergencies like crashes on major roadways, and it would be beneficial to be able to see how effective that is.

Push questions to communicate with drivers
A suggestion to enable Push questions (PQ’s) to communicate with drivers in order to solve map problems
I thought it would be really great if Area managers would be able to send PQ’s to drivers in order to get their help in resolving map problems.
For example:
• If I get a UR (in an area with low traffic) suggesting that a right turn isn’t enabled anymore and I want to verify this I might need to wait a long time until someone else will send an additional UR.
• Or if a road is suspected to be closed and…8 votes -
Add a "Map problems in my areas" list in the editor
It's time wasting to look for map problems in my areas. It would be easier if they could be found in a list, so I could use more time to correct the map, and less looking for problems

Metric system on new connections
Hi,
Can you add that the metric system is automatically set up according to the country to which we are connected?
Because there are a lot of L1 in France who change the speed limits of entire districts / cities and put 50 mph ... instead of 50 km/h ... (a difference of 30 km/h ...)Take care and thanks for all :)

Auto set checkboxes "No street" and "No city"
Remove the "No street" and "No city" boxes by automatically setting the segments with the flag active if the name and/or city is not entered and vice versa.

"View in Street View" button for places
Added "View in Street View" button for places, similar to what update requests have.
This request is motivated by the fact that, at times, Street View is not aligned with the segments and you have to go hunting for the point where it is available.7 votes -
Inclusão de várias faixas por sentido
Poder informar a quantidade de pistas em cada sentido, alterando consequentemente a largura do traçado exibido no WME e no APP. Essa informação poderia ser útil também para futuras inclusões de faixas exclusivas para ônibus, ou ciclovias.

Re-enable addition of red light cameras
The county I live in has installed new red light cameras on one of the parkways that runs through it. This parkway has a number of at-grade crossings, thus the installation of the red light cameras. I would have outlined/identified these cameras if I were able to, so as to warn others of their existence. Unfortunately, it seems that this option has been removed. Please bring it back so I may warn others of these cameras. Thank you.
