  2. Events: additional tickbox "event needs push notification"

    Requesting push notifications for events through the editors' community still doesn't work very well and is not rewarding.

    Now contributors get a notification if their event was published by Waze staff but they get no notification about the event being reviewed at first. If Waze decided to not send a notification, the contributor doesn't get to know the reason, nor the information that the decision has been made!

    When I enter major events I -as a local member- often know that they have a high impact on traffic in the near area.

    I suggest adding a tickbox to clearly show…

  4. Speed ​​limit map error

    I would insert the ability to see the speed limit map errors reported by users with the function to be enabled or disabled in the control panel.
    This possibility, unfortunately, is only available for those who have access to the WME beta but it can be free for everyone.

  5. set none as default when selecting an event for real-time closures

    Most of the closures I add to the map (95%) need no traffic event associated with them because this is a minor use case.

    Now I still have to click the event field and select none manually every single time which takes unnecessary effort and time. In the meantime I could have added other closures.

    Therefore,, it would be a huge improvement if none was pre-selected.

    Thanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

  6. Make RPPs a bright pink

    Change the colour of the RPP from a camouflaged dusky pink (same shade used to literally camouflage reconnaissance Spitfires in WWII) to a bright pink like #fa0584 to make it more visible in urban backgrounds.

  7. Disable closures' tab on non-drivable segments

    It is suggested to disable the closures tab when selecting non-drivable segments (staurway, railroad, PBW, WT). It has no effect on routing and it distracts the attention of the driver.

  8. Closing URs that are no more in your editing area

    I can edit the area of a UR when I first answer it because it is in my edit area. But sometimes I do reach the expiry date of the editing area in the middle of working on this UR. Because of that, I can't even close the UR I started working on.
    It would be great if there will be an option to close a UR you started working on even if this UR is now outside of your editing area.

  9. Issue Tracker: Stop defaulting to All Issues - remember last saved filter selected

    If you don't have a Pinned Save Filter, Waze should remember the last Save Filter selected rather than reverting back to "All Issues".

    If I'm working on a Saved Filter, and need to refresh, it's more than likely I want to continue working on that same filter afterwards.

  10. Enable zoom keyboard shortcuts (Shift + up/down) when Streetview is open

    Zoom keyboard shortcuts (Shift + up/down) are not working when Streetview is open. Please bring them back :)

    They were intentionally disabled apparently - see forum post for more info: https://www.waze.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=2362272

  11. Fix the lane width and lane guidance interface

    You have "Number of lanes" listed twice for two different things. 1) the number of lanes at the start of the segment (incoming used for lane width) and 2) number of lanes (outgoing used for lane guidance arrows).

    Recommend having the lane width changed to "Incoming number of lanes" and lane guidance changed to "outgoing number of lanes"

    Yes after you get used to the current configuration it can be figured out but it is never a good practice to have two different items with the same label on a single interface.

    Also the Displayed lane guidance arrows are just…

  12. Allow choice in HN street name

    Hi

    Certain streets have a different name or city depending of side.
    It would be great to allow, when adding HNs, editors to specify what name we want to assigne to it when alternate bloc is filled.

    Thanks

  13. Add postal codes/ZIP codes to Waze address editor

    When a Waze app user searches for an address added using the Waze Map Editor, it does not show the postal code. But with Google addresses, the postal code is shown. Please add postal codes to the WME.

  14. Issue Tracker - add filter by Language

    Now that the Language setting is attached to URs, it would be very beneficial in terms of efficiency to have the ability to filter by language in the Issue Tracker.

    The filter should allow editors to select one or more languages and either include or exclude the selection.

    For example:
    1. include: English + French + Greek
    2. exclude: Greek

  15. Add keyboard shortcut for Permanent Hazard Direction

    At the moment, the UX isn't very user-friendly when it comes to selecting the direction for Permanent Hazards. We have to choose between A/B without actually seeing where A or B are..! 🙄

    A/B are displayed only when segments is selected, but hazard direction can only be adjusted when hazards themselves are selected.

    Since we already have a shortcut to 'Toggle segment direction', could we extend this functionality to Hazards as well?

  16. Issue Tracker: within the Areas I Manage list, add an "All my areas" option

    An All my areas option will give me a high-level view of all the areas I manage without selecting each area.

  18. Link points POI to an Area POI

    Hi guys,

    The idea is to link points POI to a Area POI.
    For example, linking stores in a Mall or linking a company office in a building.
    It's also to avoid this kind of editions : https://www.waze.com/editor?env=row&lon ... 157&zoom=6.
    I think this will help editors to determinate which stores or companies are present in a Mall/building and help user to use the right entry to go to shopping or working.
    It will be a plus if you can also link, a point POI entry on an Area POI entry.

    Hey!

    Thank you for this suggestion.

    The work around this topic is related to a bigger changes and improvements in the WME which were not prioritise.

    Therefore, this is currently not planned.

  19. Street Parking

    We have parking lot roads that cover most parking situations, but there's not a great mechanism for handling street parking on public streets where it doesn't make sense to mark a road as a parking lot road. Examples: Many residential neighborhoods, many downtown areas.

    Suggestion is to add a flag to all driveable road types except freeway and PLR/PR to indicate "street parking is allowed", along with pricing information similar to how we handle parking lot areas. This could be part of the next phase of the parking project.

  20. Allow applying A->B closures on B->A segments (and vice versa)

    When selecting a one-way segment with a closure, and another segment without a closure, it is currently possible to select "Apply on all" to extend the closure to the second segment.

    This only works if the second segment has the same one-way direction of the first segment.

    When a segment with an A->B/B->A closure is selected, add a new option "Apply closure in any direction", which applies the currently selected closure as "both" on all additional selected segments.
