  1. Turn on u-turns by default in WME

    In those countries where u-turns are allowed please turn it on by default in the WME so I don't have to manually edit every time.

  2. אפשרות לתכנון המסלול המהיר ביותר בין הרבה נוקודות יעד. אפשרות ששליחים מכל התחומים יהנו ממנה

    תכנון נסיעה למספר רב של יעדים, למשל בשביל שליחים..
    כרגע בוויז אפשר לתכנן נסיעה ליעד אחד ומקסימום להוסיף עוד עצירה אחת בדרך.
    הרעיון שלי הוא שיהיה אפשר להכניס המון נקודות יעד ושוויז ישכלל את הנתונים ויעדכן במסלול הכי מהיר לעבור בין כל הנקודות.
    בעיקר ישמש את כל השליחים שצריכים בזמן הכי מהיר לעבור
    בהמון נקודות הפצה.

  4. Points de recharge électrique / choix du véhicule

    bonjour, pour les utilisateurs de véhicules électriques il n'y a pas encore ce choix de "carburant" ni les points de recharges sur la carte.

  9. Add gates to the map that can be opened, or closed, for each individual wazer

    Every private installation currently has two, or more, roles (employee/visitor/secret/resident/etc) that are often poorly understood by the map editors. Currently, editors are forced to choose one role then use various segment types to direct wazers to the gate(s) used by that role. For example, in a gated neighborhood we might set the public entrance to local street while all of the resident-only entrances are private road.

    This idea is to have WME support a gate icon that could be dropped onto a segment. These gates would then be visible on the app's map as buttons which a wazer could select…

  10. Remove restriction types in WME for vehicle types and restrictions that are not currently in-app to choose

    Remove all vehicle types in WME, that you cannot currently choose within the Waze App.

    This won't apply to vehicle types that are currently planned to be released to the app, but the "Truck" and "Bus" types haven't been selectable in the App for some time now. This is very confusing for newer editors who are trying to make edits, using vehicle types that will have no effect on anything.

    Similarly please remove the "lane" restrictions like specific restrictions only for the left lane, etc. These do not work and in some edge cases, actually apply to the whole segment…

  11. Keyboard shortcut for Walking Trails

    Ever since Walking Trails where removed from the road type selection for normal Roads, you can no longer add Walking Trail segments from a Keyboard shortcut. Please add a new shortcut.

    My Suggestion would be Ctrl-I and an alternative to the I shortcut for new Road. (Shift-I is already used to toggle the Sat Imagery Layer).

  12. Events entry for multiple dates but basic information is the same for quicker creation

    I spent quite a bit of time entering Events today for concerts that happen on every Friday in the summer. Basically the only information that was different was the dates and the road closures were also the same except for the dates. This would be a great time saver if it could enter all the dates and times in separate sections and created separate Events.

  14. Help detecting unanswered UR.

    WME does not sufficiently highlight unanswered URs, while editors are expected to handle unanswered URs.
    URs are coloured according to their age and status (open, closed ok, closed nok).

    Opened UR are coloured in yellow, becoming darker , then red, when aging.
    The only way to differentiate unanswered from answered URs is the presence of a "speech ballon".
    I am a Belgian editor, and we, in Belgium, believe we have invented comic strips and speech balloon, so we like speech balloons.
    However, I believe speech balloon are not visible enough, and unanswered URs should have a distinct colour, perhaps blue,…

  15. Input Permalink into WME Search box should take you to location

    You should be able to paste a Permalink into the WME Search box and be taken to the location instead of having to rely on scripts or pasting in your browser bar and reopening the WME page completely.

  16. Continue instruction

    The idea would be to have for the tracks among others the possibility to have continue instructions:
    * continue to the left,
    * continue to the right,
    * ...

    The goal is to have an instruction like this:
    "Use the right lane to continue to the right"

  17. Make it possible to hide the direction field for certain road shields

    When using a road shield in the turn instruction override menu, all road shields have a direction field attached to them that is meant to be used for cardinal directions (north, west, ...). It is my understanding that we are expected not to add city names here, but to add a free text field next to the road shield instead. This is not immediately clear for editors, though.

    I would therefore like to propose to make it possible to remove the direction field for certain road shields. This sort of setting is probably best stored at the road shield level…

  18. Livemap option in Uservoice

    When trying to make uservoice suggestions to Waze, there are two options. One is for the app, the other is for WME. Neither of them have Livemap as an option in the pull down menu.

  19. Different closure types for emergency vehicles

    There can be roughly two types of closures on roads. One is that the road is completely closed and driving is absolutely not possible. That's what we have now. Second possible situation is "soft closure", where although the road is publicly closed, some vehicles could still pass because the road itself is drivable.

    "Soft closure" can be an event closure like a festival or VIP visit or something else similar, where an emergency vehicle could drive through in case of an emergency. Such soft closures should not close the road completely, but add a small penalty instead, because you can't…

  20. Prevent overlapping restrictions

    Currently you get set overlapping restrictions on segments and turns (e.g. setting all vehicles prohibited Monday-Friday and on Tuesdays) Instead you should receive an error when applying or savings the restriction, similar to closures.
