Add DPMs with the Paths feature
Instead of hassling around with segment types and names to get a DPM (Detour Prevention Mechanism) working, a more straightforward approach would be to create a Path, cycle through the possible routes and mark it as DPM. This would be great for intricate structures of parallel routes where you would want to define which routes are greatly preferred.

Ability to switch from segment node to junction.
When adding a junction to a segment, the only way now is to add a road and delete it.
clicking a segment and adding a node and being able to toggle that to a junction would make it less messy of adding and deleting roads.7 votes -
Sugestões para otimizar o processo de edição de segmentos no WME
Gostaria de compartilhar algumas sugestões para melhoria do Waze Map Editor (WME), baseadas na experiência diária como editor ativo. Acredito que essas ideias podem ajudar a tornar o processo de edição mais ágil, eficiente e menos repetitivo, beneficiando toda a comunidade.
Seleção múltipla com o mouse: Permitir que o editor selecione vários segmentos de uma só vez arrastando o cursor (como uma caixa de seleção). Isso tornaria mais fácil aplicar alterações em massa.
Pré-configuração de segmentos: Criar uma funcionalidade onde o editor possa definir previamente as configurações (tipo de via, sentido, velocidade, regras de trânsito) antes de iniciar a criação…7 votes -
Treat roundabouts as a single movable node when selecting the entire roundabout, to allow for easier adjustment and alignment.
It might be helpful if roundabouts in the WME could be treated more like area zones—something that can be selected and moved as a whole. As far as I know, the only way to move a roundabout is by either deleting and redrawing it, or carefully shifting each segment one by one—which can be time-consuming and often risks distorting the roundabout's shape. If there were a way to move the entire roundabout while keeping its structure intact, it could make editing a bit easier and more efficient. Just a thought that might be worth considering.
While I don't personally see…

Full Multi-Stop Route Planning
I’d like to request a true multi-stop route feature like Google Maps has, where you can add and reorder several stops in a single trip. This would make it much easier to plan errands or road trips without having to set each leg separately.

Add start/end for average speed zones in WME and take them into account in the app
We need two new PH camera types for average speed zone start and end detection or a similar approach, which would allow the editors to map the start and end of average speed sections on top of the existing flag for the segments. The cameras would serve the following functions:
Indicate the start of a zone or a section in the zone - to be used for the alerts in the app instead of the segment flag. This would improve the accuracy and the experience for drivers who join the zone/section in the middle, including in residential areas where the…

Work closer with scripters
Develop a closer working relationship with scripters. They provide great tools that make the time we can devote to editing far more productive - UNTIL the scripts are broken when WME is updated. When possible incorporate script functionality into native code.

Revise points awarded for different edit types
Some types of edits are time/labor intensive (adding HNs for example) but earn few points. Others, such as adding RPPs or new streets earn more points and can be done quickly. As a result some edits that really need work but earn few points are neglected. Please take a look at making points earned more equitable based on time/effort needed.

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…

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…

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.

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,…6 votes -
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.

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.

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.
