  1. Make it possible to hide the direction field for certain road shields

    When using a road shield in the turn instruction override menu, all road shields have a direction field attached to them that is meant to be used for cardinal directions (north, west, ...). It is my understanding that we are expected not to add city names here, but to add a free text field next to the road shield instead. This is not immediately clear for editors, though.

    I would therefore like to propose to make it possible to remove the direction field for certain road shields. This sort of setting is probably best stored at the road shield level…

  2. Livemap option in Uservoice

    When trying to make uservoice suggestions to Waze, there are two options. One is for the app, the other is for WME. Neither of them have Livemap as an option in the pull down menu.

  3. Different closure types for emergency vehicles

    There can be roughly two types of closures on roads. One is that the road is completely closed and driving is absolutely not possible. That's what we have now. Second possible situation is "soft closure", where although the road is publicly closed, some vehicles could still pass because the road itself is drivable.

    "Soft closure" can be an event closure like a festival or VIP visit or something else similar, where an emergency vehicle could drive through in case of an emergency. Such soft closures should not close the road completely, but add a small penalty instead, because you can't…

  4. Prevent overlapping restrictions

    Currently you get set overlapping restrictions on segments and turns (e.g. setting all vehicles prohibited Monday-Friday and on Tuesdays) Instead you should receive an error when applying or savings the restriction, similar to closures.

  5. One Speed Camera (or similar) for various segments/roads...

    Speed Cameras...

    Currently, when a speed camera is cataloged on the map, it only serves the way/segment in which one driver/Wazer travels, being placed in the direction of traffic, acknowledging its presence in the app about 500 meters before.

    However, there are access ways to the main road where that camera is located, access ways that are "within" the speed camera's angle of the main road and access ways where the speed camera does not "beep" because it is located in another street/road...

    At this moment, the only way to beep on the 2 lanes (or 3 or 4 lanes/streets/roads…

  6. Zoom in to Map Comment

    Map Comments are seen on far zoom level, but getting closer to their areas requires many clicks. Please add a button to zoom in to a map comment similar to zooming in to URs and PURs.

  8. Insights MTE impact

    I would love to be able to see the influence of an MTE. For example, the number of Wazers that received the push notification and the number of Wazers that received a different route.

  9. Left panel configurability

    Problem for me and apparently for many other people too is that some left panel items I frequently need are on the bottom part and need to scroll to reach those while others I very rarely need are visible all the time. Solution: Make left panel configurable in a way that you could change the order sections appear in it.

    For example I would like to see History, Created by and Last edited by fields higher and would drop height and lock levels to the bottom of the list, it would result in much better usability for me.

  10. Allow roadshields with more than 5 characters

    Hi,
    Would it be possible to increase the number of allowed characters for the roadshields.
    In Luxembourg, for example we have roads like the "CR189A" which sadly doesn't fit into the inbox.

    Best Regards

  11. New category inherent to places

    I would suggest the creation of a specific category for the departure and arrival stations of the cable cars, cable cars, chairlifts and ski lifts etc etc.
    Looking forward to a positive response.

  12. Highlight Lane Guidance Icons on hover

    Currently in Lane Guidance there are the icons up the top showing the composition. It would be great if when hovering over an item it would fade out the icons that wouldn't be shown and highlight the ones that would. You're already highlighting the path on hover so it could be associated in that! I think this would be especially helpful for FL2

  13. Speed cam edits should initiate tile update

    Currently, speed limit edits depend on nearby map edits to be included in the tile update process. This seems to be an old limitation.

    It should be possible to add or edit speed cams without requiring additional edits.

  14. Filtering Waze Map editor Feed

    Hi.
    fi we had a chance to filter all the feeds that we receive in the main page of editor.
    This way they looks untidy and unwieldy, the filters may bring it back to life

  15. Close User reports automatic after seven days with no response

    We suffer from the spread of reports on the map, and unfortunately we have to wait for seven days until they are closed. During this, weak reports may come that were previously, then it becomes difficult to close them. If the feature of closing after 7 days is included (in the event that there is no response from reporters) will be useful new for cleaning up the map from useless reports

  16. Change forum request format when using share link in WME

    Even though my previous post says this was implemented, not a single thing has been. https://waze.uservoice.com/forums/59225-map-editor-suggestions/suggestions/43000929-change-formatting-of-forum-sharing-options

    When an editor uses the forum sharing options, which is great, because of the order of the data on the request, valuable information is being overlooked.

    For example, the current Unlock Request automatically fills in the following information:
    Hi Editors,

    I would like to be able to edit the following segment(s).
    Your help would be greatly appreciated.

    The "reason" and "unlock to level" kind of blend in.

  17. Separate Map Editor App

    I am suggesting an app that allows editors on the move to have a way to handle URs and PURs while away from the computer more effectively. This could also allow PLs to be opened and segment(s) involved to be edited easier from the mobile device.

    URs could have notifications and work like a chat room that other editors can join.

    PURs could have notifications with the ability to approve if info can be confirmed while mobile.

    PLs could open with options to change the lock level and see segment info upon scrolling down.

  18. Add Place setting to force arrival on drive side of road

    Please add a normally-off setting in Place entry points to force arrivals to be on the drive-side of the roadway. In urban areas it is common to have drop-off/pick-up or valet areas in front of hotels and similar places which cannot be accessed legally via a U-turn.

  19. Different Street Names for Different Side

    WME should consider allowing editors to add street names and towns that apply along only one side of the street (instead of select one name as an alt name. Along town lines, street names can change from one side to the other. This would also eliminate the need to place residential place points on one side.

  20. giving User’s ability to include images with there reports

    Hi,
    I think it is good to give users the advantage of including images, whether by taking them through the app or fetching them from their gallery, as you know that the images explain a lot without the need for words, which is almost non-existent that the reporter responds after his report.

    thank you!
