  1. Remove RS update location on https://www.waze.com/fr/user/editor/*

    Since RS are in wme, on the editor page those edition are link to 0,0 position.
    Would it be possible to improve the visualization of these editions because it affects the readability of the map?

  2. Set GPS point color by age in WME

    Please set the color of GPS points in WME by age instead of direction, The direction is already indicated by the direction of the arrow. Editors need to know how old the tracks are to see changing traffic patterns.

  3. Hide Name Checkbox

    In an effort to reduce clutter, and provide more information to the user, it would be nice to be able suppress display of the name of certain objects on the map. Parking lot areas, drive through lanes, private community roads, etc. could all benefit from this kind of feature.
    The end result could be something like "Turn right into Costco Customer Parking" without a bunch of segments that are visibly named like that in the client.

  4. Have the possibility to select BUS icon in LG

    The request is very simple.
    In WME when setting LG having the option to mark one lane as BUS (not with any direction or routing options behind it)
    During Navigation display the arrows and BUS when Lane Guidance is shown.

    Example: Left Straight Straight Right one lane is bus
    Shown as: Left Straight BUS Right during LG in waze

  5. 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.

  6. Feet to Yards please!

    Please give us the option to select Yards (or metres) instead of Feet for distances in the UK. We have been brought up on using yards for distances under a mile (but we are able to use metres as they are similar). Feet as a measure is rarely used in the UK now.

  7. Extra click required before moving place point

    After WME v2.115, a place point requires 2 clicks to move it. When creating a new place point, you can add the stop point. But to move the place point, you have to de-select the place point then re-select it.

  8. 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/cJEtlk2

    There'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.

  9. School zones variable speed limit

    Most of our speed zones in province of Quebec are variable in time of day, day of week and month of year. Do you think you could add this feature so it represents the actual speed limit in real time.
    In a regular 50km/h residential zone, the school zone is normally active from 7 to 17, monday to friday, september to july.

  10. Transparent point places while moving

    Now that point places are much larger in WME, it would be helpful to make them transparent when dragging them across the map, so they can be easier aligned with features on satellite image.

  11. Different layout for RPPs: visible numbers

    Hi,
    in my city there is a big number of RPPs due to side roads.
    I often add them and, since there no way to copy-paste an RPP (this could also be a suggestion), I often copy road's name, then add the number and submit.
    Maybe that sometimes I forget/miss to Apply road name/number, so I get no-way, no-city, no-number, but RPP's triangle doesn't allow me to notice my mistake.
    It would be nice if (at least) the address number appeared on the RPP within the map, in order to check its value.
    Another use for the enhancement would be…

  12. Add closures provides by a partner feed to the history of a segment

    Closures placed with WME can be traced back in the WME because they are added to the history of the segment. Closures provided by partner feeds are not added to the history. Adding them to the segment history makes it easier for the editors to find solutions for URs.

  13. Types of electronic toll

    As you know, if you plan a route through highways containing segments with the option “electronic toll” enabled, a time penalty will be added to the final estimated time of route. (3 minutes for each electronic toll, right?)

    Here in Portugal we have 2 different types of electronic toll:

    -> Type 1 - You need to reduce speed (Electronic reader) or stop (Manual ticket) to cross the toll.
    -> Type 2 - You don’t need to reduce speed or stop to cross the toll.

    So there should be a time penalty on type 1 but not on type 2, but…

  14. Truck Routes / Bike Routes

    Add a commercial truck routes mode for truck drivers on the app, a lot of trailer tractor drivers out there struggling with traffic and fines bc of not knowing which routes are best for them on each new city they go to. PLEASE HAVE THIS IN CONSIDERATION ALONG WITH BIKE ROUTES TOO.

  15. New Description for Retirement/Nursing Homes

    When editing the map and adding/editing places, it would be helpful if we could have a category for Nursing/Retirement Homes and Senior Centers. The number of seniors continues to grow, and having this category available would be a nice addition.

  16. 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.

  20. Average speed calculation in average speed zone

    The idea is that once you enter a speed enforcement zone there will be an aditional box that displays the average speed driven inside the enforcement. This allows you to gauge how much you can speed up after stopping or going slow for awhile.
