Prompt user to save Lane changes if deselecting segment
After editing Lanes, it's far too easy to lose the changes by accidentally deselecting the selected segment you are editing if you don't apply the changes beforehand.
This suggestion is to recognise that changes have been made in Lanes (or road width), and prompt the user to apply or cancel the changes if they deselect the segment they are editing.

Editing fuel types for each Gaz station in WME
It would be nice if the types of fuel at Gas stations could be created, selected and sorted for each specific Gas station when editing directly in the WME.
The main thing is that for each Gas station it was possible to create its own set of fuel types.
For example:
for one - Gas, 92, 95, Diesel
for the other - 92, 95, 98, Diesel
etc.Because all Gas stations are Different!!!

Two-Way Traffic Ahead Permanent Hazard
This permanent hazard would warn users that the road they are travelling on transitions from one-way to two-way traffic. This would not be used for sections of road where traffic gives way to oncoming traffic temporarily (see the suggestion for Narrow Road Permanent Hazard), but instead for roads that are one-way only for a distance and suddenly transition to two-way, as to warn the user that there will be oncoming traffic.
• Ex 1: Drivers heading south on the one-way must be in the right lane to continue onto the two-way road, where traffic from the opposing two-way direction does…

Do not allow user selection on buttons
Buttons in WME (UR, PUR, etc.) should not allow the user to select the text. There is no functional use for editors to be able to select this text and attempting to click can result in the text being selected instead of registering a click on the button

Replying and closing UR should give editors an edit point
Currently, when you close a User Report (UR), the count of resolved URs increases on the editor profile. However, there is no reward of an edit point.
Editors spend vast amounts of time looking for, investigating, replying and managing the lifecycle of a UR. I propose that both replies to a UR and closing a UR should each give a single edit point.
Given that Waze tracks the number of URs resolved, adding points retrospectively would also be appreciated. Though I understand UR replies couldn't be added retrospectively.
The awarding of these edit points should still be subject to throttling…

combine Lane guidance segments
With the newly implemented Lane guidance we see new problems rising up.
In belgium, beeing densly populated, we somtimes have several entry's or exits of the highway following up on each other very closely.
sometimes even as close as 20-50 meters.I would like to have a sort of junction box type of tool to combine 2 lange guidance segments.
for example:
2 highway exits within 50 meters. I want the Lane guidance before the first exit to allready show in what lane I have to stay if I have to take the 2nd exit.It's kind of hard to…

Opening hours, by appointment only
Looks useful to me to add the option 'By appointment only' to 'Opening hours' in WME. You still need to choose the days on which an appointment can be made. It is important that the telephone number is stated correctly in the data.

Add a new UR Issue filter "Last comment by" - "Not Me"
Please add a new UR filter in the "Last comment by" drop-down - called "Not me".
In conjunction with the "Comment by me" filter, this will then allow me to see all URs that I have commented on in the past, but I wasn't the last person to reply. This will include the reporter and other editors.
Currently, if I select Reporter, I cannot see URs that other editors have last commented on. If I select All, I will see them, but also all of my reports that I was the last commenter on.

Editor visibility default state should be Visible (not invisible)
Problem Description:
I frequently see my status as invisible when logging into WME, even after I have previously explicitly set it to visible. The visibility appears to reset back to invisible after some time has elapsed, maybe a day or more, or perhaps it resets after session expiry. I am not certain exactly what criteria causes the visibility to reset back to invisible. I would much prefer to remain visible in WME without having to repeatedly check and manually set myself back to visible each time I authenticate or access WME.Requested Solution:
Please adjust the default value or default…48 votes -
POI's moving distance
At the moment moving a POI have a distance limitation (2km I belive?) Sometimes when a business changes phisical place to another place, like 10km away, we need to move the POI like 2km, save, move again, save again...
It makes no sense. Please remove it or allow us to move POIs further.
Thank you.

Add checkboxes to flag unusable/inaccessible gas stations
Editors occasionally find angry URs from drivers who couldn't use or reach stations listed in their gas-station finder. For example, a substantial fraction of drivers -- the majority? -- cannot use non-gasoline fuel, cardlocked stations, military-only stations, or private stations located inside secure installations. Many cannot use members-only stations, such as Costco in the US.
One way to prevent these misroutings would be to add checkboxes for limited-audience gas stations, for example as follows. The app could then let drivers opt in as desired.
In WME, the list might read:
- Military only
- Members only
- Non-gasoline fuels only…33 votes -
Add a keyboard shortcut to toggle the Issues Layer
The new issues layer is not linked with a keyboard shortcut to toggle it on/off, at it is the case for other layers like roads, place, closure,....
This would really help, especially for koifish suggestion, so we can quickly toggle on/off the suggestion and see what's under it on the image, or even if there is not a already existing segment hidden by suggestion.
