Only report and show hazards / etc on your side of the road
When viewing the map or receiving alerts, add an option to only report items on the side of the road you are driving and/or you are routed on. As a "reverse commuter" I constantly see hazards on my route but they are usually on the other side. It makes viewing the map for issues very difficult, almost unusable.

Waze Unplanned Road Closure Alerts
Would it be possible for Waze developers to notify user of an unplanned route closure the moment point A and destination are entered? Having entered work destination (using multiple interstates), ware tried to reroute me may times to alternate roads - the MOMENT I logged on. It turned out the Interstate was closed 15 miles ahead, and I was stuck for 2 hours. If Waze knows the road has an issue along the route, an alert upon destination entry (like IMRIX) would be most helpful.

Differentiate between HOV(High Occupancy Vehicle) and an HOT (High Occupancy Toll) lanes.
In metropolitan Atlanta, the Georgia D.O.T. has been transforming HOV lanes to HOT Toll lanes, which will cause you to face a traffic ticket in the mail for $150, if you do not have a valid Georgia Peach (Toll paying) Pass, or a similar pass from select other states. The State of Georgia has plans to expand the program in other metropolitan regions as well as other freeways in the Atlanta region. The ability to alert drivers that the HOV Lane ends and a TOLL Lane is replacing it ahead is an important piece of information.

Popup messages for multiple road reports
On the way home tonight, Waze alerted me to several road problems ahead (police, stopped vehicles, etc.). The reports were in such close succession (less than a mile apart) that the popup message for the first report was still on screen when the popup message for the second report appeared. Unfortunately, the second popup was on top so I could no longer see any information about the first report. When displaying multiple popup messages simultaneously, Waze should layer them such that the hazard in closest proximity to you is on top, followed by the next closest, and so on. This…

Road hazards
Have the option to dismiss users postings. Say if a disabled car is no longer there. Or if a cop isnt there or theres no longer traffic issues jams ect. Add a buttong to be able to dismiss any and all. I know it pops up for disabled cars once in a while. But make it for all things posted. Cause i notice some people post things just to get points that are not even there.

Need to distinguish between HOV and Express/HOT/Toll lanes
Maybe this is California specific, but we have both HOV lanes, which require 2+ passengers but have no toll required, and then we have Express Lanes, which are toll lanes that you can drive in regardless of number of passengers, but do require a toll (paid for via a transponder - Fastrak in CA).
I drive by myself so I cannot use the HOV lanes, but I do have a Fastrak transponder so I can use the Express lanes. But if I tell Waze that I have Fastrak, it automatically also routes me on the HOV lanes, which I cannot…

Change how road numbers are spoken in the UK
Speaking the A5183, for example, as "A fifty-one eighty-three" is confusing, since everybody I know calls it the "A five one eight three". The rules are a bit complicated, it's true, as we do use this pattern for two digit road numbers, three digit ending in 0, and roads ending in 00 or 000. But in all other cases we just speak the individual digits.
So
"A five"; "A ten"; "A sixty-six"; "A two hundred"; "A one thousand"; "A six fifty"; but "A six four seven"; "M six oh six" ; "A six oh three seven".7 votes -
Road block reporting was displayed vertical
It would easier to select the road blocks if they were verticals options and not horizontal, the same way the direction of traffic is. That way. If you are reporting a block road on the left you select the one on the left and not the top or bottom and if it's the one in the center you select the center. And if it's the one on the right you select the one on the right. Seamless integration to actual practice driving makes for paying attention to the road safer, Better and much easier to report. That way they can…

Seperate Greenway and 267
As a NoVA User, it would be helpful to split up the Greenway in Loudoun County from the 267 Toll Road. Many of us willingly take 267, but want to avoid the fees of the Greenway. I have being directed around 28 to take the 267 entrances when I can save money and go 28 to 267. But I want to know how much time I can save if I pay for the Greenway.

Ambulance/Fire/Armed Police Blocking Road
I don’t understand why roadworks get precedence over emergencies. So many emergencies such as ambulances, firetrucks and even police cars regularly close or block roads temporarily causing extreme traffic jams so there should be an option to warn Wazers so they can opt to take a different route. I live in a city centre (Birmingham) where I am faced routinely with a blocked road due to an emergency such as an overturned car, a person trapped in a car, cars on fire, house fires, standoff situations with police because somebody is held up in a property with a…

Road Safety Level
Waze should add the option into the Map Editor to choose a safety level of a segment/road - in parts of the world, like in South America for example, in some streets you can come across gangs, shootings and other related life-threatening situations. Though, the feature can also he used for roads in dangerous or high terrain. And, the road safety level should then appear when choosing routes - when Waze calculates all possible routes - the safest one should say "Safest Route". Safety level should be determined by numbers (for example, 0 safest, 10 most dangerous). This…

Add road closures that happen at specific times
For example, there’s a road on one of my regular routes that is currently undergoing construction and it’s a 2 lane highway so in order to work on it properly without traffic interference, they close the road between the hours of 10pm-5am Mon-fri. I noticed there is no option to report closures with a specific time frame which kind of sucks. I think it would be beneficial to add this feature as I know of quite a few other roads or ramps that close only at specific times.

Adding raised road tresholds on Waze maps
It would be great to have raised road tresholds on the maps.
The tresholds are as dangerous as any other obstacle on the road - it needs a sudden breaking if the driver doesn't have information about the location of the treshold.
Usually the tresholds are marked poorly and not visible at all in the dark. Only if the driver knows the region they are aware of the location of the tresholds.I really hope that you could add the raised tresholds on the map for drivers safety or let drivers add the tresholds by themselves, this will be a…

Add option to Avoid Tunnels
For various reasons drivers may wish to avoid tunnels when navigating. This should be an option along side with Avoid Highways and Avoid Toll Roads.

Configuration Setting for Road Hazards Order
Road Hazard Reporting is extremely important for the efficiency & simplicity of submissions! We do NOT want the "Submission of Report" to be the source of vehicle accidents! This can be assistance with one being able to customize their own order of "Road Hazards" listing within the Smartphone App and CarPlay view! In my case, having to scroll down in my CarPlay view to access "Pothole" increases my chances of possible "vehicle accident issues" on the road due to the extra 2-5 seconds of "less direct attention" to the crazy other drivers on the road! In other words,…

It would be great to put toll booths and customs check points on the maps. I have to put 'heavy traffic' every time I go through one. Thanks
