Ability to readjust junction boxes
At the moment junction boxes can be drawn when they are being created. After the junction box is saved, the form of the boxes can't be adjusted anymore.
This is problematic because:
a) Now it is possible to move nodes inside a junction box. But if the junction box is too small, there is not enough space to sufficiently correct and move a node.b) If the junction box is not sufficient it must be deleted and recreated in order to correct some bad edits. This leads to a loss of all saved cross-times, which affects routing for a period…

Issue Tracker: within the Areas I Manage list, add an "All my areas" option
An All my areas option will give me a high-level view of all the areas I manage without selecting each area.

Closing URs that are no more in your editing area
I can edit the area of a UR when I first answer it because it is in my edit area. But sometimes I do reach the expiry date of the editing area in the middle of working on this UR. Because of that, I can't even close the UR I started working on.
It would be great if there will be an option to close a UR you started working on even if this UR is now outside of your editing area.29 votes -
Update UR Categories the same as the App
Would like to match app problem descriptions with those presented in WME URs.
For example: UR's that come in for 'Wrong Driving Directions' (what the App says)
Show in WME as 'Improper / Poor navigation instruction'Having that changed to 'Wrong Driving Directions' will help with editors looking at responses and what to select for a default/1st response to a user.

Remove multiple closures
If you have a list of closures that need to be removed, it would be good to have a way of removing them in one go. Either by a selection check box option, or just a single Remove All option.
23 votesGreat timing! We’re currently working on the feature to remove multiple closures at once. Keep an eye out for updates on the WME.

Allow moving nodes inside Junction Boxes
Junction Boxes currently prevent moving the location of nodes inside them, which means that geometry edits often need JBs to be deleted and recreated.

Facilitate the addition/editing of rivers, lakes and water cover
Drawing large rivers on the map, for example, is torture. Although there are scripts that "help" the task, Waze should add its own feature to add water covers, instead of the place editors as it is today.
My suggestion is that each type of water cover has its own type of editor. For example, to draw a river, the editor draws a line that follows the direction of the river and chooses the width, Waze then fills in smoothly, that is, with several "dots".
Another suggestion is the possibility of connecting aquatic elements, such as connecting the river to a…

custom alerts
I would like to be able to place custom warnings in WME that come through to the app.
problem:
- certain tunnels see a lot of truckers or camper vans getting jammed because they are too large to enter.
- school area's getting dangerous when people who do not know the area are routed through due to a traffic jam somewhere else.Idea:
I imagine this like placing a speedcam in WME but then beeing able to fill in a message (with a set maximum of characters).
We could use those to put warnings in problematic areas, and these can…18 votes -
Add keyboard shortcuts for setting a voice prompt override when a turn is selected
Please allow setting the turn override with a keyboard shortcut, when the turn popup is shown.
Define a set of shortcuts for all possible values (or at least for the main common ones, continue, turn left, turn right, u-turn)
You can show them on the dropdown, so that people know what key to use.
Example: https://ibb.co/hHZsXtMThis would save a lot of clicks (and would more likely prevent mistakes of setting the opposite direction) in particular when setting them over roundabouts.
