Lane Guidance is now available in WME!!!!
Hi Editors,
Hope you are all safe and healthy!
We are all super excited to announce that Lane guidance is now available in WME.
What is the Lane Guidance Feature?
The ability to map the number of lanes and directions for a specific segment in WME that will allow us to provide clearer driving instruction and a smoother driving experience to drivers.
What have we done?
Important to know
We created this Lanes Knowledge Base in order to help you start smoothly and have a snapshot of all the knowledge created during the alpha and beta stage. We’ll make sure to update it periodically with new content if needed.
What’s next?
We are here if you have any questions, doubt and feedback.
Happy Editing,
Ruben, on behalf of the Waze Communities Team

What is the Lane Guidance Feature?
The ability to map the number of lanes and directions for a specific segment in WME that will allow us to provide clearer driving instruction and a smoother driving experience to drivers.
What have we done?
- We have been testing Lanes both in WME and in the app in the last few months with your fellow Beta Editors and we are now ready to enable the feature in production.
- We have been working with your country coordinators in order to apply the best lock rank for your country. Lanes guidance will be locked to L4 as default and we will adjust the lock in the next few days.
Important to know
- Currently lanes are not supported for Junction Boxes, that's the next item the team will work on once we finalize Continue Straight and TTS.
- Lanes are not supported for Roundabout, currently it is not planned.
- Editors with a lower level won’t be able to see the lanes tab and lanes data in WME for now.
- Editing segments with lane guidance, i.e: splitting them, will cause lanes data removal so make sure to add map comments where necessary.
We created this Lanes Knowledge Base in order to help you start smoothly and have a snapshot of all the knowledge created during the alpha and beta stage. We’ll make sure to update it periodically with new content if needed.
What’s next?
- We presented the feature in today’s Office Hours, if you couldn't make it make sure to check recording once is sent.
- The team is currently working on TTS (Text To Speech) for Lanes and the indication on ‘Continue Straight”.
- We are going to rollout lanes to the wider beta community in the client in the next few days. This will allow us to get feedback while you are mapping and increase the lane coverage.
- We will be in touch with the coordinator to plan a per country gradual rollout to production
We are here if you have any questions, doubt and feedback.
