  1. Time based speed limits

    Speed limits are not always a fixed ones. For example , roads around the schools have a speed limit of 30 kmph during the morning and evening hours. Whereas this limit is not valid for Sundays and during the rest of hours in a day.

  2. Add type "Boom Barrier" to permanent hazard

    https://i.imgur.com/T05sm8V.png

    In my country (but I think everywhere) there are a lot of barriers which are placed in different areas like PLR, restricted areas, private areas, .. This barriers are opened for locals or by different type of card/transmitters. It's very convenient when user or taxi driver see this permanent hazard on his road. I think it's not difficult to add this type to current PH structure.

    In my country there ate not "toll booth"-es and we use this type (they are the same on the picture) but it's not convenient for people who use another TTS and language in…

  3. Filter GPS tracks by vehicle type: private, taxi, motorcycle

    The GPS layer should have checkmarks where we could choose the vehicle type of the GPS tracks we want to see.
    This would be great for determining what type of vehicle is using a particular road, which in turn would be useful for deciding what road restrictions a road should have.

  4. Add support for Passing Lane Alerts

    Add functionality when on main single lane roads so the User can opt to display the distance to the next passing lane. The location and length of passing lanes would be added by editors and would give drivers an indication of how long until the next passing lane (and once in the lane, how long until it ends), potentially preventing drivers from taking unsafe risks and passing when not safe.

    Passing lanes are used extensively in New Zealand and Australia, and I imagine are also used around the world.

  5. Add option to make restrictions visible similar to closures

    This goes together with a suggestion on the APP side to add an option to display some restricted segments.

    Since there is no easy way to add closures based on a schedule, there are times it would be nice to have restrictions that can be scheduled show in the app similar to a closure. That way someone driving without a route will have the visual cue like a closure.

  6. 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.
    It is…
