Automate restricted area pass creation directly from WME to eliminate lengthy manual workflows
The current workflow to create and deploy navigation passes (toll and restriction passes) is overly complicated, error-prone, and causes massive delays for local communities and map editors.
Current Workflow Bottlenecks:
Manual Data Duplication: Editors must configure the restricted area in WME, manually fill out an external spreadsheet with the area's technical details, and hand it over to the coordinators.
Complex Communication Chain: Coordinators must submit a request to the dedicated team.
Massive Turnaround Times: The review and creation process often takes months. If instructions are misunderstood or a minor mistake occurs, the request is rejected or improperly configured, forcing editors to restart the cycle and wait for months all over again.
Feature Proposal:
Automate the pass generation pipeline directly within WME.
Once an authorized editor creates and saves a restriction area with its parameters on the map, the system should automatically generate the corresponding client pass metadata—or at least offer a direct, one-click WME-integrated option to spawn the pass without relying on external spreadsheets.
Key Benefits:
Instant Routing Accuracy: Drivers get timely, correct routing for restricted zones and toll areas instead of waiting months for passes to appear in the app.
Reduced Overhead: Eliminates repetitive administrative tasks for local coordinators and internal Waze support teams.
Lower Error Rate: Removes human error caused by manually copying and pasting segment IDs, polygon data, and restriction parameters into spreadsheets.
Instant deletion of no longer needed or expired passes
