Allow a specific path in a junction box to be Private/access only
If we have one-way access-only restrictions, it's impossible to map this if other routes are available.
Looking at the situation in the following graphic:
https://imgur.com/cJEtlk2There's no way to get to some of the streets without using the one road that's open to all traffic.
Having the ability to set a Private Road type to a particular route in a junction box will help resolve this situation.

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 -
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…

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.

Improve WME editing capability on mobile phones
I can currently add or delete real-time closures in WME in Chrome on my mobile (Galaxy S20). I can't change turn permissions, for instance, as touching the turn arrow to be changed deselects the segment it's part of. Can we get more functionality of WME in Chrome on a mobile phone?

Livemap uses old Lat/Lon order
When entering a lat/lon pair as starting point or destination in Livemap, it must be entered as Lon,Lat. WME was updated to copy as Lat,Lon. Livemap should be updated to match.

Holiday based turn/traffic restrictions on Japan
Traffic/turn restrictions for holidays have not yet been implemented in Japan.
Please support Japanese national holidays.If Sunday becomes a national holiday, Monday falls under the holiday in lieu, etc. There are detailed rules. The dates that fall under holidays are listed in the following law
https://laws.e-gov.go.jp/law/323AC1000000178/Similar proposals outside of Japan have already been implemented and should be less burdensome.

Height limitation of bridges
I think WME should have a bridge height segment. Some of the bridges, at least here in Finland, are really low and even a van is in danger of getting stuck on its roof. It would make driving easier.
With the same effort, it would certainly be great if the roads also got a possible weight restriction segment.

Multilingual street names
Add the capability to add translations to street names so people who speak different/foreign languages can use the map. EX: In Israel, Google Maps has Anglicized street names, while Waze does not. As a result, the English-speaking voice in Waze cannot recite street names in Waze.
This feature would be of great use in NYC and other cities where there are plenty of ESL speakers and people who have very limited understandings of English. Spanish would be a great language to start with.

Show the source of an UR: app or livemap
Users can now create URs from the livemap, at any location, while UR created via the app are automatically located at the actual position of the user.
When handling an UR, it is useful to know if the UR has been created via the app, by a user actually present at the location, or via the livemap, which allows to create a UR at any location.
Knowing the source helps analysing the UR.17 votes -
Link Parking Lots to Places in WME
When Searching for a place in the app, I've noticed the place will pop up, for example "Target" and its designated parking lot will show up almost always right below it, "Parking - Target". But when you click "Target" and go to see parking lots that are close, the only ones that show up are ones that have a Public lot type, which naturally isn't the one marked Target bc that needs to be marked Restricted bc only those going to Target can park there. If there could be a way a link a few parking lots to a place…

Manual input for zoom level
With all the new zoom levels being planned, clicking the +/- to go up/down in zoom gets very tiring. This suggestion is to add a "Manual" number input field between the + and - to
a) display the zoom level (instead of using a tooltip) - disadvantage of tooltip is you have to hover your cursor over the zoom control
b) allow you to manually input the number you want the zoom to jump to. For example, you are at zoom level 20. You want to get to zoom level 12. Instead of clicking - 8 times, you type "12"…

Apply alternative name to all selected segments of the street
Today, if an alternative name is only assigned to some segments of a street, and you select also segments of the street without the alternative name, there is no indication of such status and no way to apply the alternative name to all segments. Please add such indication and action.

Move Ferry, Railroad and Runway/Taxiway road types away from road type fast selection buttons
Those mentioned road types are about as rarely needed as the walking trail so moving those away from the normal road type selection buttons would be reasonable, there's no sense to keep those there. Maybe make submenu of those + Walking trail to that part of Unify Action Area?
This would have 2 benefits, it saves a little more of that limited space on left panel and also it helps to prevent accidental clicks which change road type and may go unnoticed when editor hits Save.
