It would be a great idea if the buttons to show the types of existing roads had the colors of the different types of roads in the WME.

Creating an traffic event from a RTC automatically
Waze wants more traffic events additional to the RTC in order to benefit from the metadata.
Adding a larger amount of traffic events as before needs exceptionally more time and effort.- First, visiting the event tab and creating an event with name, duration etc.
- Adding the respective RTCs with again entering name and duration. 3.Again, going to the event tab and submitting the event.
This is too much work to keep up in general.
So solve this, I suggest the possibility to create an event from the closures tab automatically using the already submitted closure name and duration (as an…

House number change history
When selecting a house number the interface no longer shows who last modified the house number. History on the segment doesn't always show what was change (it might show added or deleted, but not moved or edited). Segment history needs to have more detail on what was done.

Allow the WMEb "BETA" indicator to link back to the production WME
In the latest beta, there is now a [• BETA] indicator in the header. Please consider adding a way to use this indicator as a shortcut back to the production WME.
Perhap click to open a tab of with the PROD wme at the same spot, and hover+CNTL+C (or right click) to copy a PROD wme permalink.
We'd like to encourage users to edit the BETA wme as much as possible, but when collaborating or posting to public forums, we should make it as easy as possible to share PROD permalinks.

Edit Toll Prices in the WME
The procedure to edit toll prices is complex and only certain users per community can edit those prices.
Toll prices should be editable directly in the WME to avoid a complex process.

Practice mode in WME while logged in
As far as I know, after logging into the WME, the user cannot enter practice mode anymore.
I suggest that besides "Default mode" and "Event mode", there will be "Practice mode" that will enable anyone to go into the practice mode directly even when already logged in. This might be useful for anyone who wants to try to edit in order to test something or to illustrate some edit option (and take a snapshot of it), and also it is suggested to enable entrance into the tutorial videos from there.59 votesThanks for your feedback.

No feedback provided if permalink is unable to select items
Currently there is no feedback given if one or more items are not selected when opening a permalink (i.e segments, places, URs, etc.).
For instance, I have a document with PLs of segments that are always closed during events (such as stadiums). If a segment ID is changed and therefore no longer linked in the PL, I have no way of easily knowing this.
Please consider providing some sort of warning if WME is unable to locate all the linked items.

Parking lot type (motorcycles-only, cars-only, both)
It's very common, at least in Colombia, parking lots only for motorcycles and it's really dissapointing to arrive at a parking lot suggested by Waze, and realize that it's a motorcycle-only parking lot and you're driving a car.
Please add a new property in WME to choose the type of parking lot: motorcycles-only, cars-only, or both, and add a new feature in app to filter by parking lot type.57 votesThanks for your feedback.

Allow snapping of places geometry nodes together
It would be very useful to be able to "snap" geometry nodes of two different places together (just like to when creating an intersection with two segments). This would ease the mapping of adjacent places (e.g.: a mall next to a park, or a river next to a park, that goes all the way to the edge of said river).

The option to turn off certain items in map display, like schools, libraries, parks, etc.
As the subject says, it would be nice if we could un-clutter the display by having the ability to turn OFF certain items on the map display like schools, churches, libraries, parks, etc.

Include temporary settings like HOV route selection in UR information
Relatively recently we got the ability to see some app settings in user reports. What we can't see are temporary settings like whether or not an HOV route was selected. It would be helpful to surface any information available that does not compromise anonymity.

Adding a comment when requesting new aerial images
When L6 editors request up-to-date images for the WME, it would be useful if they could write a comment (for example, for whom they have requested the images) and this comment should also reappear when they get the notification that the new images have been provided.
It could also be helpful to have access to a list or map showing the areas that the new images were requested for so that new images are not requested for the same area by different editors.

Partners polygon layer
Hello,
Thanks to the Waze for Cities program, we are happy to have more and more partners, either for road management (Connected Citizens) or for event management (Global Event Partners).
For those who do not know the details, you should know that a partner benefits from one or more polygons that characterize their rights area (data flows to or from Waze, closures, MTE).
The community being very involved, and always on the lookout for modifications to be made in WME, or closures to be programmed, it often happens that our closures or our editions conflict with their closures.

Flag Waze segments for addition to Google Maps
If an editor adds roads to Waze and sees they aren't in Google Maps, we have to add them using the Google Maps interface. This does not include access to additional imagery which can make it easier to make the updates.
With the increased data exchange between Waze and Google, it makes sense to have a button to flag sections of the Waze map for incorporation of high priority changes rather than having to map the area twice.

Allow combining chargers when merging EVCS
When merging EVCS, give users the option to include both sets of chargers. For some reason, some networks (ahem, ChargePoint) sometimes list multiple charger sites in the same parking lot or garage. If we try to merge them, we have to select one or the other set of chargers. Please add an option to include both sets.

Receive reminder when closure will expire soon
The ability when adding a closure to select a checkbox to receive a reminder notification a couple days before expiry would be really useful. Sometimes when adding closures we do not know when the road will reopen, so the closure is set for a week or a month. So it would be great to know when these closures are about to expire so we can check and extend the closure if needed.

All 1-way roads should automatically be A→B
There's no need for 1-way roads to be either A→B or B→A.
They should only be able to be A→B.This will solve a lot of issues us editors encounter, for example when adding road closures.
I saw another suggestion here to apply A→B closure also on B→A segments, but it would be much better to just get rid of B→A segments.Let me know if there are any questions.

Recategorizing UR's when solving
Add a feature to WME to recategorize the Solved UR's when closing those. This would give Waze a true insight of what reports are really needed and vice versa, what are rare and could actually just be within General Error category etc. Based on my research of all Solved UR's in Finland for last 3 months only about 50% were in right category.
In my opinion this would help to reduce and refocus UR categories to better match with reality which in turn helps users when they are reporting meaning less UR's with wrong category -> Better data and better…

Disable segment geometry changes in House Number mode
When in the "Edit House Numbers" mode, the Editor allows changes to segment geometry, but then generates an error when saving the changes. It is very easy to unknowingly edit segment geometry when trying to move a house number stop point. When this occurs, any HNs edited after that geometry change need reverted.
Please disable segment geometry changes when in HN mode.
