  1. New categories - apartment complex/building

    Add a new category for "apartment complex" that'd include multi-building condos and coops. The "apartment building" category would be for single-building condo or co-op companies.

  2. Provide helpful suggestions when showing a save error

    When you display a save error in WME, please give us helpful suggestions on how to resolve the issue, not just a generic "check and try again." Check what? What are we looking for? How do we fix it? What is "modifying GuidanceMode? What are CS Lanes? Saying "Check and try again" doesn't help.

    Example:
    Modifying GuidanceMode is allowed only for CS Lanes
    Suggestion: Check and try again

  3. "Show on map" in UR should zoom in to UR itself, not to its route

    It happens rather often: when I open a UR and click "Show on map", WME zooms in, but the UR isn't visible. I need to zoom out 1-2 levels in order to see the UR and then zoom in to it manually.

    I guess, the algorithm of WME calculates the "Show on map" point basing on the user's route. But the user saw the problem in the point of the report, so WME should zoom in to it.

  4. Time-based restrictions with annual repetition.

    We should be able to place traffic restrictions on a segment, for example in the summer (June 1st to September 30th).

    As the 1 has already passed, we can only place it from today (June 22) and we can only correct it to be correct for the next year after September.

    In this case, it should be possible to insert the total (correct) date of the restriction.

  6. 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.

  7. Use Paths or Restricted Areas to create drive through restriction

    Amount of residential areas where drive through is forbidden is increasing everywhere. I was wondering could either Paths or Restricted areas have an extra setting "Not allowed to drive through" and by setting it router would prohibit such routes. Paths would work on smaller areas but in bigger ones would have to be set with Restricted area.

  8. A better separation between different road types in the layers panel

    When working on complex junctions, tunnels, train tracks, and pedestrians, and when all of them are in the same area, the map becomes a real mess and is hard to work with. I suggest adding additional layers to toggle off the visibility of road types and a layer to hide tunnels (or change their transparency at least and make them unselectable and disable snapping).

    Take a look at this picture, and you'll immediately understand the issue.

  9. Detour routes

    We need the ability to add detour routes (paths) that can be added and removed in real time and/or scheduled to use in conjunction with closures. Often when local authorities announce closures, the also specify preferred detour routes.

  10. add the vehicle type automatically to the wme update request

    this help alot when I want to solve an update request and know what the vehicle type that chosen in the app who makes this report, because some roads only permit specific vehicles

    also you can add other info to the UR automatically, like some app sittings (avoid unpaved road, avoid freeways, avoid difficult intersections)

  11. Last Edit

    Track last edit for self as editor in WME and have a link to go there.

    Sometimes WME gets stuck. Requires hard refresh. But if last edit was important and was not complete, where was it. I was too busy to capture a link.

    Would have to be a 2-phase commit. Capture the location for the editor. then attempt the edit save. Otherwise, If it crashes, the last edit would not get recorded.

    Please have a link to go back to last edit on WME load.

  12. Propose map changes that I'm not allowed to because of my level

    As a Level 1 Editor, I would like to propose a change in a map where I'm not allowed to so the change is not applied until an editor with the adequate level approves it.

  13. Move RRC and Camera layers to hang under Permanent Hazards

    With the introduction of Permanent Hazards Railroad crossings and Cameras have been moved into the Permanent Hazard menu. It would now make (a lot of) sense to also apply this to the chart layers, to prevent people from wondering why railroad crossings or cameras are greyed out in the menu while they do have the permanent hazard layers checked on. It should be similar to how the Places layer has been restructured.

    Unless it will be merged into the hazards layer of course, then this is redundant.

  14. Allow photo evidence of map errors

    Allow photo evidence of map errors.

    Sometimes trying to explain what error happened while driving is difficult to upload (while driving) and difficult to explain (after the fact) but allowing someone to upload a photo of the map when it is performing an error is much easier. It’s 2024. Why isn’t this a thing yet?

  15. Que tal adicionar a opção de marcar lombadas no Waze? Isso ajudaria os motoristas a evitar problemas na estrada. O que acham?

    Atualmente, o Waze oferece alertas para várias condições de trânsito, como congestionamentos e acidentes, o que é incrivelmente útil. No entanto, gostaria de sugerir a adição de um recurso que permita aos usuários marcar a presença de lombadas nas estradas.

    Aqui estão alguns detalhes sobre como esse recurso poderia funcionar:

    Opção de Notificação Personalizável: Permitir aos usuários escolher se desejam receber notificações sobre lombadas próximas e se desejam ouvir ou não essas notificações durante a navegação.

    Marcação e Verificação de Lombadas: Após um usuário marcar uma lombada, permitir que outros usuários confirmem sua presença ou relatem se a lombada já…

  16. Road shields, ability to add different sign as override to the major one used for that street name

    In Finland, we currently have named roads as "180 - Saaristotie" etc. and would like to get rid of the number in street name and just leave the shield. But that is not possible because we have quite a few locations where road number changes while road name stays the same. Another problem is when road category changes to minor road so that the number drops off completely.

    So there is a need for feature where you could set an override shield to selected segments while the default sign for that road name stays active on other segments.

  18. WME External providers marked as Permanent closed as a Places Problem

    Many Places in Waze have a External providers marked as Permanent closed, and action needed to either remove it (if the places are permanently closed) or remove the problematic External providers link( if the places are active but the External providers link are marked as permanent closed).
    However, we as an editor are no ways to know if the External providers link are still active nor it is marked as permanent closed.
    So. can we have WME to detect those External providers link and trigger a places problems (something like map problems) for editors to check and fix the problematic…

  19. House Number Mode Delete/Trashcan

    With the new House Number editing mode, with the segment selected and actively editing house numbers, using the trashcan removes the segment and not the house number.

    If I'm editing house numbers, the house number I have selected should be the object deleted. This is not a consistent behavior across WME.

  20. Ajouter un outil de signalement d'animaux perdus

    Bonjour, je me permets de vous contacter pour vous soumettre une idée qui pourrait rendre votre application encore plus attractive et qui pourrait rendre service à un grand nombre de personnes...

    Étant actuellement à la recherche du petit chien de ma sœur qui à fugué, j'utilise Waze pour vérifier les signalements d'animaux morts sur les routes (en espérant ne pas le retrouver de cette manière).

    L'idée est qu'il serait vraiment très pratique de développer une option permettant de signaler des animaux errants... Encore plus pratique, un service permettant de signaler aux conducteurs qu'un animal est recherché dans une zone précise…
