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…

Better usability for the turn guidance feature
Very great that we actually have an preview for the expected turn instruction in the client visible in the WME.
BUT when the input of the user exeeds the length of the preview box, the text is cut off. The text labels in the visual instruction and torwards line are capable of showing 5 letters only, it is not possible to read longer names there at once and it is prone to error (for example typos).This must be improved.
This doesn't allow easy every day editing and error correction. Draggable road shield boxes and the text labels are pending.The…

Inclusão de "Quebra-Mola", também conhecido como Lombada ou ondulação transversal
Tão ruim quanto um "Pardal" eletrônico são os quebra-molas pela via, muita das vezes sem identificação e sinalização. Se houvesse a opção de inserir esses perigos nas vias no Waze seria excelente para segurança e conforto dos motoristas.

Please display the timestamp for KOI Fish map suggestions as well.

Height limitation of bridges
I think WME should have a bridge height segment. Some of the bridges, at least here in Finland, are really low and even a van is in danger of getting stuck on its roof. It would make driving easier.
With the same effort, it would certainly be great if the roads also got a possible weight restriction segment.

Profile statistics
Waze WME continues to evolve in terms of features, but the editor profile hasn’t changed at all over time. That’s a real shame. We no longer have access to detailed statistics. I’m suggesting we update the profile page to something more up-to-date. And add the other statistics.
-> https://www.waze.com/discuss/t/update-to-the-statistics-profile-page/406450
I’m attaching an image to illustrate the idea; if other editors have different ideas, feel free to share them!

Ability to add RTCs to new segments
It would be useful to be able to add RTCs to newly added segments. Without the segment(s) included in the current tile build, the closure wouldn't be "real time" but would allow for applying the closure immediately after the tile build finishes. A disclaimer could be (should be) displayed that the closure will not go live in the app until the tile build finishes. This could allow us to more efficiently construct roads ahead of their opening so that the RTC is in place for real time opening. It could also allow for cutting segments for upcoming construction (bridges, culverts)…

Issue Tracker support for .wkt "Specific area"
The Issue Tracker allows for specifying a scan area with 3 options - Map area, Managed area or Specific area. Adding the ability to provide a .wkt (Well-Known Text) file containing a POLYGON to the Specific area section would be very useful.

Split Place
After the succes of the Merge Places feature I would like to add a request to Split Places.
There are instances where wazers add a photo to a place that is not related to that place, but something nearby. At this moment we don't have a choice but to reject the photo. I would like an opportunity to use it to create a new place.

A place with an expiration date
I would like to suggest adding an expiration date to a place. When the expiration data is reached the place deletes it self from the map. This option is good for places such as events like weddings, parties, sports tournament etc..
Today, many such places which their event date passed exist on the map and nobody remembers to delete them and the map gets loaded.
The expiration date default would be of course - No expiration so that new places would not be deleted.
Such an option is already implemented in Map comments.By: reuvenirony
Link to original suggestion: https://www.waze.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1525&t=27612521 votesGreat timing! We’re currently working on adding an expiration date to a place. Keep an eye out for updates on the WME.

Facilitate the addition/editing of rivers, lakes and water cover
Drawing large rivers on the map, for example, is torture. Although there are scripts that "help" the task, Waze should add its own feature to add water covers, instead of the place editors as it is today.
My suggestion is that each type of water cover has its own type of editor. For example, to draw a river, the editor draws a line that follows the direction of the river and chooses the width, Waze then fills in smoothly, that is, with several "dots".
Another suggestion is the possibility of connecting aquatic elements, such as connecting the river to a…

Ability to submit PUR's outside of your editing area.
I would love to be able to submit PUR's for places outside of my editing area. As I sometimes see places that have incorrect data that needs to be updated but not always an editor in that area is aware. Rather than PM them on the forums it would be more efficent to just submit a PUR for that place. Currently you can only do it in your own unlocked Area..

Setting "Repeat every year" on an existing restriction
Now that we have the "Repeat every year" checkbox for restrictions, it'd be useful if we could tick this for existing restrictions to turn them into repeating ones, without the need to then also edit the start/end dates to avoid the "Start date can not be in the past" error.
e.g. a segment has an existing restriction set for 5th September 2019 to 20th October 2019, and the restriction is one that ought to be set as recurring.
The preferred workflow would be for the editor to simply tick the "Repeat every year" checkbox and save, without any other changes…

Improve PopUp in closures
Hi, im thinking in the posibility to include popup with Pic or Image when we creates a closure or Wazer (N3+) add image to existent closure, i mind, if i Drive with Waze app and that shows pics or photograpy about reason of closures, that helps to Wazers to know the reason and to us (like editors) to keep actualized and clear ending closures.
Thanks for all!
Happy Xmass, and a Happy New Year

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.

Organize Urs
It would be good if when there are many overlapping URs, clicking on one would open only one window and within it the nearby URs would be sorted by date and time. This way, if a user reports several times by mistake, there is no need to respond several times, which can lead to annoyance for this user. I think it would be better organized.

Make U-turn segment length shorter to 10m.
In India it's very difficult to create U-turns with segment lengths greater than 16m.
Please make it 10m or between 10m and 16m.Thanks.

A/B Testing of map changes
Imagine if we could test two versions of a navigation instruction with different driver groups and use real data—like User Reports, detours, speed changes, and quick feedback—to see which one works better. This could make a big difference for things like lane guidance, difficult turns, and complex instructions.
A/B testing would give us real insights to help make navigation clearer and safer for drivers everywhere. If we could get Waze on board, it could mean big improvements for the whole map-editing community.
