1. Allow editing geometry of segments with permanent hazards (PHs)

   Currently, if a segment has a PH, it automatically becomes non-editable by lower level editors, even if they would normally be able to edit a given segment, had there been no PH on that segment. This prevents an editor from continuing, and requires intervention from a senior level editor.

   The only way around it, is to remove the entire segment with a PH and add it again, in order to continue fixing geometries. However, there is a big downside to this approach, that it also removes added HNs.

   One could isolate the PH, by sub-dividing the segment into three segments, and then only remove the smaller segment with the PH. However, this does not mitigate the issue where HNs will also get removed.

   A cleaner approach would be allow editing a segment geometry, including nodes to which they are attached, without affecting PH.

2. House Number (HN) Mode recenters map

   When hitting H to enter HN editing mode, the map is recentered and zoomed on the selected segment. There should not be any zoom or centering change if the current zoom level allows for HN editing.

3. WME Feed customise by country

   WME Default loading is launching with feed showing KoiFish suggestions that are locked for almost all editors.

   Most L1-2 editors cannot add these and cannot hide them either. As a display, it is very confusing for them.

   Without taking away any choices in Feed selection, it would be nice if the WME Default Feed could either be selected by country as defined by coordinators or at least remove KoiFish suggestion as default load for all editors.

4. WME issues filter

   Part of the daily work of map editors is to delete old URs via WME issues filter that have no activity.
   Currently there is no way to filter URs older than N days and the only way to filter is to filter from date to date. This requires defining new dates each time and filtering cannot be saved.
   The suggestion is to add a filter of "older than N days"

5. Closure layer behaviour on selected segments

   When the closure layer is off and you have a segment with closure selected, the active closure is not showing when you switch on the closure layer. You need to unselect and reselect the segment to be able to see it. It would be nice if that can be resolved.

6. Project Zone for Large/Difficult Projects

   Sometimes when working on large projects, it is difficult to get the timing with tile updates to make a major project (or even smaller projects) go live at the correct time. Often this is done with adding segment restrictions to new segments, waiting for a TU, then applying an RTC and removing the restriction, so that when it goes live, just the RTC has to be removed. However, this usually only works when what is added is totally new and doesn't require reuse or reconfiguring of previous segments. It is also very difficult during reconfigurations when the project all of a sudden changes over early, or has a last minute delay. If we don't catch it in time, it can require several tile updates to get WME correct, and then wait for it to go live in the app. This is frustrating for editors because it makes deadlines and sudden changes very difficult, and frustrating for drivers getting incorrect instructions.

   My idea is a project mode that allows editors to work on large projects over several days without worrying about breaking routing, messing with current configurations, breaking RTC abilities, etc... all while keeping the behind-the-scenes mess hidden from the drivers using the app. Then, with a push of a button (or a predetermined time), the "project" can be made live in the app. Further details below on potential implementations to prevent concurrency issues while guaranteeing a great experience for editors and drivers.

   1 - How to create a "project": An editor with the required rank (set by regional coordinator) selects the "Project" polygon in WME and then draws a polygon around segments that will be included in the project and gives it a name. I'll refer to this polygon as the project zone from now on. Segments inside the project zone can be any lock level, even higher than the editor that places the project zone. Segment lock restrictions function as normal. Project zones are visible on the map through a "Projects" layer. Any segment that is included in a project zone is flagged as being part of that project, and when selected, it will display which project zone it's a part of. At this point, this segment is locked from editing unless in project mode, similar to the RTC editing lock. A project zone can be expanded to include new segments, but if it's shrunk enough that a segment flagged as included is no longer included, you cannot save. The idea behind this "project zone" is to create a clone of the current status of WME so that changes done do not affect the current tile build.

   2 - Working the project: Just like we can view the previous tile build, there will be an option to view the map as it is now, or view the "project". Any editor of any rank should be able to view the project progress, even if they can't create or modify it. From inside the project mode, you simply edit as normal to the new configuration saving often, not worrying about breaking routing (remember, the current map state is unaffected by this). Once editing is complete, including verifying routing is unbroken, you will "publish" the project to the map. I imagine that every time you save while in construction mode, a check that the edit is allowed and viable is made, but not actually completed. Then, when you publish, the edits are actually published to the map. At this point, even after a tile update, the old configuration is what is used in the app and for routing.

   3 - Making the new configuration live: The previous "publish" button actually will have two options. Publish and keep hidden, or publish immediately. Publishing immediately applies all changes in the project zone to the map, and removes the project zone. It will be live after the next tile update. Publishing and keeping hidden will send all the segments in the next tile update but keep them hidden. How do you ask? Just like RTCs can immediately affect routing and affect the visual appearance, the published but hidden segments are kept invisible on the map and have an RTC applied so that traffic isn't routed on invisible segments. Then, an editor in WME can select the project zone and "switch configuration" on demand or schedule it. Upon switching this configuration, the new configuration goes live instantly in the app by making the new configuration visible without RTCs, and any old segment IDs that were not reused go invisible with RTCs. The project zone remains on the map for 2 weeks or until manually removed by an editor. The editor can switch back to the old configuration instantly if needed, such as with a delay in crossing over.

   4 - In-app experience: Won't be snapped to incorrect segments that have been moved for a new configuration. Won't need to wait days for a configuration to go live in the app, especially in the event of a tile update delay. Able to take advantage of new configuration instantly.

   5 - Benefits to editors: Able to work on big projects in chunks over time. Can start adding or changing something, save to verify that it's a valid change, and continue editing. All without worrying about breaking routing (whereas saving often normally might break routing, or require lots of extra steps). No longer need to cram a large project in between tile updates. No longer needing to hope you're available to make the change on the exact day so that the correct tile update makes it go live, but not too early or too late. You could theoretically work a change weeks in advance. Allows us to still RTC segments from the old configuration while working the project zone.

   6 - Example scenarios:

   6-1: This displaced left turn required lots of steps with time based segment restrictions set to have it open at the correct time. Due to weather, the city announced it was delaying opening it by 2-3 days. This was announced 20 minutes before a tile update that would have set the new configuration in motion. Luckily I was able to catch it and update several time based restrictions. Then, after it was live, I had to go in and clean up turn restrictions and lane guidance that was no longer needed or correct. With a project mode, all the changes would be done well in advance of it going live. Then, set the configuration to change at the correct time. If we spotted it was delayed, simply change the time and date. If we didn't, we could reverse the configuration since the project zone would still be there for up to two weeks after it was changed. https://www.waze.com/en-US/editor/?env=usa&lon=-98.07749&lat=29.72828&zoomLevel=19

   6-2: US-281 is undergoing a major expansion. Editors could work to map new freeways and frontage roads (that are probably a few weeks to a few months from being done) now while keeping the current configuration for the drivers. Then, as soon as it goes live, we can easily switch it. Currently, if we get a heads up it's opening, we'll have to get it all done in one day and hope there are no delays crossing over. If we don't get a heads up, we'll still need to try to cram it into one day so we don't break routing. https://www.waze.com/en-US/editor/?env=usa&lon=-98.44717&lat=29.68590&zoomLevel=14&mapComments=171376937.1714097047.939091

   6-3: Dividing roads. You can save often to verify that you won't receive an error while not worrying about breaking routing. No having to create bowties every few intersections to save. Simply divide as you want, saving with segments halfway complete as you cut and merge, and then once done, publish to map immediately.

   6-4: Any other project that is time consuming where you don't want to complete it in one sitting.

   7 - Closing thoughts: This is obviously a giant ask and would likely be very difficult to include. I've tried to suggest it to where concurrency with other edits won't be an issue because they'll be locked. This is a giant mental work-in-progress, so any improvements to the basic idea are more than welcome.

   Sometimes when working on large projects, it is difficult to get the timing with tile updates to make a major project (or even smaller projects) go live at the correct time. Often this is done with adding segment restrictions to new segments, waiting for a TU, then applying an RTC and removing the restriction, so that when it goes live, just the RTC has to be removed.

8. Issue tracker, one more filtering option needed

   To be able to follow resolving rates it would be great if you could add one more filter, Solved / Not Identified / Both. Going through those one by one to find out percentage of solved issues is quite a job, this would help a lot.

9. Last Edit

   Track last edit for self as editor in WME and have a link to go there.

   Sometimes WME gets stuck. Requires hard refresh. But if last edit was important and was not complete, where was it. I was too busy to capture a link.

   Would have to be a 2-phase commit. Capture the location for the editor. then attempt the edit save. Otherwise, If it crashes, the last edit would not get recorded.

   Please have a link to go back to last edit on WME load.

11. Traffic Event closure selection

    When selecting the closures tab, there should be a hierarchy for the default closures displayed. If there are no verified closures (such as when copying a Traffic Event), the list should switch to the Unverified closures list. If there are no verified or unverified closures, the list should default to the failed closures.

12. Add an Option to keep or Removed Wazer icon from URs

    With the new Release, we got a new UR icon design that has the Wazer on it, and i have seen many different opinions about it.
    i think it would be great to have an option to decide how you want your URs to look, either have the Wazer on it or without the Wazer on it. as there is a lot of editors that like the new look, but there are also some that would like to have it as before. so this would solve this problem without removing the new look of the URs.

13. Prevent the creation of place "my home"

    Many drivers create places called "home", "my house" or any similar name. It takes some time to review/reject the PUR, so it would be great to have something to automatically prevent it : a warning to the user ? a filter to automatically reject the creation ?

14. Show a character counter for entering a name of an event

    Since the name length of a traffic event is technically restricted also the WME limits the name input after the maximum length ist reached
    (https://waze.uservoice.com/forums/59225-map-editor-suggestions/suggestions/41814004-limit-name-input-in-event-mode implemented).

    It would be even more helpful if there would be a char counter that shows the remaining length for the name.

    This requested behavior is already the case for entry boxes of map comments and URs.

15. Touristic Routes...

    Touristic Routes

    In my country, Portugal, as in almost all countries, we have beautiful places to visit, cities to see and, for that, among the various means of transport that we can access, of course, the motor vehicle is one of them... and for that, you need a road to drive...

    When we are on vacation for example, we want to go and visit these places and we map routes, marking it in a diary (or something similar) what we want to visit and see...

    In WME, some of these routes could be defined by the editors, be pre-defined and available in the app, so that the driver, when choose one of them, Waze traces the pre-defined route and not choosing the best way to get to the final destination... the goal in this case is visiting places, visiting cities, why not know other roads/streets, other ways, that Waze not show to me... I'm on vacation, It's my day off, I want to go that way... just show me how the traffic is on my way...

    Waze's function here would be to inform how the traffic is on the chosen route and, if there is traffic restriction / cuts, then inform the driver if want to proceed with the programmed touristic route or want to deviate from it, to return later, after conditioning.

    As an example: in Portugal we have a route that goes from the North of Portugal to the South, called "National 2", which is the name of a road called "National 2", which is "made" annually by several motorcyclists, who only travel through this road, which it "enters" through various locations and has several places to visit, eat and sleep... it takes a few days to travel this road...

    If we had the touristic route "National 2" predefined in Waze, whoever wants to go through it, Waze will only show that route predefined by the Editor who created it and not the route that Waze thinks is the best, which normally would be going straight to Highways or by other "ways" than just the intended the road named "national 2".

    The function of Waze on this touristic route would only be to inform the driver about the traffic and suggest that he deviate when he finds some "traffic restrition" ahead.

    I think the USA has something similar, like the so-called "Route 66"...

    So, I leave this first idea here, which can be worked on and give rise to a programmed tourist route, not only by the editor... but, who knows, in the future, eventually, the driver himself can map his own route and program it, so that Waze later fulfills its function, to tell the driver how the traffic is...

    let's start brainstorming... :)

    thanks

16. Closures - Don't return to top of list

    When you have a lot of closures on a segment, Waze goes back to top of list each time you open one of the closures in the list. This makes it more labour intensive if you have to go through several to change settings. It should be constructed in such a manner that when you cancel or save a closure, you return to the same position in the list.

17. GPS announces what state or county you're in

    It will be nice if the GPS would announce the state, county and city you entered in because on the road the signs might be knocked down or you just might not see them while driving especially on the highway or minor roads I really think this needs to be a thing it'll be nice if it will announce what city You just entered in.

19. Show HN stop points for all levels

    When viewing a road that is locked to a higher level, it is not possible to view the HN stop points. This makes it impossible to troubleshoot the issue without requesting an unlock that might not be required if nothing needs to be edited. Being able to view the stop point even when I can't edit would let me know if the HN needs to be changed before I request an unlock.

20. Use URL to add external provider

    Sometimes WME fails to locate a right matching place from Google Maps, but the place can be found with Google search engine. As a solution I suggest to enable WME to assign a matching place also by a known URL from Google Maps.
