  1. 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 :)

  2. 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.

  3. "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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  8. Retorno do recurso Reportar radar

    Solicito o retorno do recurso “Reportar radar” todo dia as autoridades instalam novos radares no Brasil todo e nos usuários somos surpreendidos com a multa em casa. Não acho justo uma ferramenta tão rica ser desprezada pelos seus editores.
    A todo momento um susto!!!!

    Sugiro a volta do recurso imediatamente.

  10. Editing rank on a per-server or per-polygon basis

    Waze is a worldwide service with global user permissions, but often travelling editors will do work in another area, or editors will take on area management roles in multiple countries. This can lead to disagreement about an editor's capabilities between different management groups in self-managed countries which can hamper a user's ability to get promoted. I would like to propose that it be possible to grant a user enhanced rank in certain areas only instead of globally. This could be tied to the server (environment), or better to a polygon much like we define Area Management areas today.

  11. Add permanent user based Hazard markers to the map (to assist when local authorities don't flag))

    I came up with this idea after getting incredibly tired of flagging a long term roadworks hazard that's turned a two-way piece of road into to automated stop light controlled one-way travel. That fact that none of the road authorities here in NSW, Australia, who can tag such things (such as the NSW TMC) still have not after some 6 months (as compared to recently flagging another identical set of long term roadworks in another area I travel through). This has prompted me (thanks to another member's suggestion) to post the idea of the idea of allowing users (maybe more…

  12. Improve ability to add pictures to places

    Currently when you're in the app you please "places" and the first thing you must do is take a picture of the new place you wish to add. One feature i'd love is if you had the option to add pictures from your camera roll instead cos sometimes its rather difficult in the moment to add all these things.

    Another thing is (maybe I should make a separate post about it) but right now there is no way to add photos through WME on desktop.. It would be really good if we could change that. If you're worried about spam…

  14. Inbox indicator should show in the feed, not hide behind the little bell

    Inbox indicator should show in the feed, not hide behind the little bell.

    When sending a forum message to new users they will often not replay because they just DO NOT SEE the notification. The notification was moved from the feed to hide in the menu bar behind a little counter besides a bell icon. It is just not clear enough.

    Please make it so that one cannot mis any inbox messages in WME.

  16. Allow addition of new traffic signal or stop sign where one did not previously exist.

    Allow editors to add a new traffic signal or stop sign. Allow alert similar to RR crossing sound. Set alert to expire 30-45 days after signal or stop sign is put into service.

  18. Stick to main roads - in UK

    Alongside the ‘avoid single track’ vote I also suggest there is a ‘stick to main roads’ option. Waze seems very keen to send me down twisty side roads where it’s hard to pass as there are cars parked on both sides, it sends me down country lanes which are NOT faster and through little villages, which, although scenic, can be very tiring on a long journey. Also, the side streets and single track lanes often lead to a tricky right turn (UK) onto a fast road, even a tricky left turn. I like Waze for the notifications of speed limits,…

  20. Save filters

    The new issue tracker is great, but I think it could be even better if we had the ability to save our own filters, so that I could create and save filters like: "no description", "unreplied", "rerported by me", etc.

    For example, currently, if I want to filter unreplied URs I have to set: status = "open", types = "all types", description = "both", comments = "no comments", and uncheck "has comments".

    It's really hard to always set all these options, and if I could save the filters, I would only have to do it once. Next time I could…
