Residential - show closest semgent where the drive will lead
Hello, there,
in the new editor v. 2.242 there are no possibility to show the residential names. I have to choose each to be able to see their names. And there is no possibility to show the neariest part of segment where the drive will be lead.
Is it possible to enable the option to "show residential names" just as it is for POIs and parking places?
Is it possible to enable "show the closest segment where will be driver navigated"?
It is pretty needed, because to create the residential is very easy, but if there are more streets around,…6 votes -
Separators and Decimal Signs per Language
I noticed that in the Waze Editor, under Trips and Segment Lengths, there is a number where the sign for a decimal is a .
For example: At 175 kilometers and 300 meters it says: 175.300 km
In the Netherlands, for example, we use different signs to indicate decimals.
At 1000 meters we do: 1.000 meters
At 25 kilometers and 200 meters we do: 25,200 km (or 25.200 meters).For example, you see 844 meters for the lengths of segments. If you then click on a segment, it suddenly says 1.340 km. For us in the Netherlands, that is 1340…

Leader board changes
The leader board ranking should be updated automatically and not the day after.
The leader board should be split or selectable by points for edits only vs driving.
This should encourage new editors and let them see that their work reflects in a higher ranking (if they are sensitive for this) which isn't hijacked by people who are only driving.6 votes -
Inclusão de Semáforos, sem ou radar de velocidade.
I propose the implementation of marking all traffic lights, even those without speed radar, in the Waze app’s mapping system. This feature aims to enhance the navigation experience, provide greater driver safety, and enable more accurate and efficient routes.
Including traffic lights on the Waze map would allow:
Greater Accuracy in Route Time Calculation: By accounting for waiting times at traffic lights, Waze’s algorithm could offer more precise route estimates, preventing unexpected delays for users.
Suggestion of Faster and Safer Routes: With the location of traffic lights known, Waze could suggest alternative routes, avoiding intersections that require longer waiting times…

See Editable Areas and Area Managers when zoomed out
The layers "Editable Areas" and "Area Managers" are only visible at zoom layers 12 and above.
It would be helpful to see these layers at larger zoom levels to better understand what areas you can edit, and who the relevant Area Managers are.

Possibility for editors to create map update requests, for changes that need higher level editors.
Many times I can see needed changes or map problems that are prohibited for my level to edit or fix. But there is no option to report these issues to the higher levels, inside the map editor.
Should I have to drive there and create a map issue report?6 votes -

Cambiar icono en modo moto
In Car mode, you can change the icon to another one. But in MOTORCYCLE mode, this is not possible and a very thin motorcycle (2D) appears that blends in with the road and is difficult to see easily when riding a motorcycle.
You should be able to change to a more visible one, such as the arrow or triangle that stands out more. This way, you will avoid taking your eyes off the road more than necessary.6 votes -
edit geometry/allow saves whilst adding closures
be able to edit geometry of segments that have active closures, as currently to edit geometry (without affecting node id) is to remove closure edit geometry and then re-add closure. as well as that allow the ability to add closures whilst having unsaved edits.

Default expiration date for map comments
There are a vast number of map comments without an expiration date that are no longer relevant. This causes map editors to open them to read the comments.
I suggest that when adding a map comment, the default expiration date be one year later, and the user can delete the date to make the comment permanent. This will hopefully minimize the number of "junk comments" in the map.6 votes -
Hazard addition to go to suggest an edit

Better UX for WME boxes
Since Firefox hides the scrollbar when it'**** in use, some of the boxes in WME may contain more than the visible lines, but it's not immediate.
For instance, in the suggestion recap box, or in the Add Menu.I'd suggest adding a scrolling shadow, showing a shadow on the top when there is more content on the top and on the bottom when there is more on the bottom.
It comes from a CSS guru, Lea Verou https://lea.verou.me/blog/2012/04/background-attachment-local/I also added the horizontal version and generated a couple of CSS classes I use on the sites I develop: https://codepen.io/massic80/pen/jOQWxNm

Editors' 2do List
Basically having a special context menu or "Editor Report" that will help us remember things to fix once we go into WME. So, this is a communication from production application to WME.
Sometimes we drive and find an error or something that needs to be fixed. so it would be valuable to have a pin, with text or voice notes that would give me details on what to fix so I can go to this list or this special type of reports once I go to WME.
The difference with normal UR's or MP's would be that it will not…
