[REQUEST] Thoughts on Live closure feature, seg vs node
I brought this up Jan/2015
I think It should be revisited, here is the original forum post link and quote:https://www.waze.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=211&t=125253#p1009107
"some thoughts on Live closure implementation....Seg to Seg closure is great. But if you have a parade route (for instance) you can close an entire street for a mile (say west to east segs). Unfortunatly it has no affect on cross streets (say if you wanted to cross the closed road from north to south on a side street). So...Side streets have to be closed also if they cross your closed segment. Seems to me what's really needed is…

Thanks for this great suggestion.
In the time being we have already developed and launched the closures on nodes. As you were last updated, RTC (real time closures) on turns is still WIP in very early stages with no ETA.

Permalink Keyboard shortcut
It is suggested to add a keyboard shortcut that will copy a permalink into the clipboard without the need to point on the link icon. It will make this action simpler for new WME users.
For example pressing a key (e.g. P) or CNTRL+key (after selecting the object/s).by yaacobyy

Cookies of log in
I have always wondered: I open the WME (both Prod and Beta) every day, so why do I have to log in anew almost every second day? I examined cookies of Waze, and probably found the answer.
When I open the WME, the site adds/updates the cookie "websession" (separately for beta.waze.com and www.waze.com), which expires exactly in 24 hours. So, if one day I open the WME in the morning, and the next day I open it in the afternoon, the cookie has expired, and I have to log in anew.
I suggest to increase the expire…
0 votesThe login mechanism has been changed, and now you won’t need to log in for 24 hours from your last log in.

ToolTip for LiveMap
Would you please consider adding a tooltip for the livemap link on the bottom of WME?
It is not obvious at all what the icon does when you hover over it.Maybe something like this would be useful when you hover of the icon ( see attached)

Walking trail with one-way direction
By default, if you draw a simple walking trail, it will have just one-way direction, however you can change it by pressing "R" or enable the option "Draw new roads as two-way" and draw a new one...
But not every Editor is aware of the hotkeys, as they are only "shortcuts".
In my opinion, a walking trail should always be by default two-way (for obvious reasons, since people can always walk both ways) or at least exist some visible toggle option on walking trail proprieties to change it with just your mouse.
