Fuel
More and more people use a fuel network card. It would then be useful to be able to select more than one favourite fuel brand in the list.

Ability to enter non-standard addresses in Map Editor, e.g. "11x/1"
Ability to enter non-standard addresses in Map Editor, e.g. "11x/1" currently it's not possible and those are missed completely from waze, messing up with "11x addresses missing "/1", which might be existed and completely different house, which makes things complicated

Attach a trigger to comment to create a map update request in the future.
Use for any temporary map change that needs an expiration like a road closure has.3 votes -
Bring WME Closure Functionality to Waze App
If the Waze App (or separate dedicated app) supported the full editing power of closures in WME it would make it much easier to update them if you are out and about. Requiring to be near a full-scale web browser to update introduces delay in updating Closures.

receive UR's notifications on mobile for new issues
I mean we're not familiar what users report about unless we open WME to track reports.
sometimes the problem could be solved by chatting then editors can start apply what needed.
i don't need to set in front of computer to chat with users and maybe there r not going to respond that time so make it easy for us to receive first notification if users report on a new issue on our mobile, then usually as you know we can chat with them in our phones.Note: as a editor i want to know what is going on with…

Allow all user levels to report closed or roadworks on map editor
I'm a level 1 map editor and when driving due to UK Law changes we can no longer use the phone while stopped, it would be an idea to add reporting of road closures roadworks etc, under the map editor similar to the points of interest when we get to our destination via a computer or the Waze app using a pinpoint.

Have a checkbox for a Gas Station to be able choose if it has a different price for cash vs credit or even cash/credit vs membership card
If a gas station places could have an option to choose if there are two different prices for gas depending on how you pay would be very helpful. For example, Cumberland Farms here in the states always has 2 different prices; one for cash/credit and another for their Smartpay App/card

New Parking Lot Subcategory - Curbside Pickup Parking
We have the option to select if a business has a Curbside Pickup option, but we have no way to designate where this area is. I feel as though this would a great addition to WME and the app overall

Improve error message for incorrect password
Whenever one tries to login into the editor (or any other site) and the password is incorrect, the error message is: "Something went wrong. Try again". It is suggested to add: "Check the Caps Lock and the Keyboard language setting". An even better idea is not to allow insertion of non-English letters, and warn the user while typing the password, and warn for all capital letters when the user clicks on Log in.

Disable segment geometry snapping
We see some changes to geometry handles in WME, so here is another suggestion to improve it even more.
Why do we still have the road snapping behavior if two roads can't intersect together? This behavior is annoying when you try to edit an interchange with multiple intersecting segments, but the editor's snapping concept interferes with you.

Disable automatic kinetic / inertial panning of the map
With decent search functions and new zoom levels, I feel that the kinetic panning of the map behavior is not necessary. I sometimes find it to be a nuisance since I tend to pan the map past my intended point sometimes. Currently, I use a script to make the map static and find this behavior much better to direct.

Update Request - View recently cancelled route
It would be extremely helpful on Update Requests to provide the route/path information for a recently cancelled route.
Often users report an issue shortly after cancelling a route that gave them bad instructions. In these cases, editors can't see what the Waze app was asking them to do, versus what they actually did. Often users forget the precise details of what the bad instructions were.
If this is already permitted to some degree, perhaps widening the time window my a couple of minutes would help capture more of these.

Dismiss auto completion of segment name in WME
When providing segment names, sometimes the auto completion overrides correct street names with the already provided wrong title. I found no other way of overriding it except deleting the wrong name from all segments that use it and saving them without a name. Afterwards it's possible to add the name. This is especially problematic when one just needs to adjust something from lower to upper case and the other way round.
In my opinion there should be an option like a cross at the end of the auto completion menu that closes it and offers the ability to provide a…

Drivable Areas
The current solution for parking lots and gas stations is not particularly user friendly. A user driving within these areas is directed to follow parking lot road segments which can be very complex and still may not represent the paths that drivers actually follow.
A means to give a user a general instruction to proceed to a particular exit to get going on their route could result in a better user experience, especially in the case of of multi-level parking structures where a user may drive in circles repeatedly as they proceed to the exit level.3 votes -
Fix bug when multiple URs are submitted from the exact same location.
When multiple URs are submitted at the exact same location only the last one can be opened. When you try to open the others the display hangs and a hard refresh must be used.

Add Names of Lakes and Rivers to the display in the APP
In some areas bodies of water are significant landmarks that aid in navigation. The names of major bodies of water are shown in the Live Map already. I assume the names shown in the LM are coming from the Water Layer. Enabling these names to be displayed would be a great addition to the App.

ability to amend speed limits
I'd be interested to find out how I can advise of a change in speed limit please. Our village (Newington, Sittingbourne, Kent) has recently introduced a 20mph limit across the village, but it's still showing on the app as 30mph.

speed limit user poll
The idea is very simple but could improve the editors SLUR extremly.
In the moment we have poll´s for Police controll, Accident, Danger and so on.
Why not having a Posibility to do an limited (e.g.48hours) Poll for a Speed Limit like "is 120km/h the correct Limitation" (Yes, No)
and display the Poll Result in WME which would easyly allow to check if a submitted Speedlimit is correct.3 votes -
Road type per direction
Allow us to set different road types for each segment direction. For example, driving A -> B can be opened for all and set as street, but driving B -> A is permitted only for small amount of people (private road).
