Need road change of two highways merging
Northbound Hwy 85 merge with Hwy (interstate) I-25. Your map shows the old version of the roadway. When you are going NB on Hwy 85, you cannot merge onto SB I-25. That was changed sometime ago. You can only go northbound on I 25 from northbound Hwy 85.

When pressing on the screen to highlight a specific place, road / point of interest. The option to log a hazzard, danger etc, whilst drivng
Whist driving, due to a variety of reasons, it's not always possible to log a hazzard on the road, like a tie-down strap that fell off a truck in front of me today. I thought I could simply report the issue, but I lost my connection and instead pushed on the screen where the tie-down strap was, hoping there was an additional option, so once it was safe to pull over,, I would be able to log it, so as of when I re-established Internet connection, the hazzard would be shared with other waze'ers.
But alas there was no…

Re-enable Other Side Police Reporting
Otherside Police Reporting- This was probably one of the best features of the App- other than the same side regular police notification. It gives a warning for less traveled roads that may have a Waze user traveling in the other direction on a less traveled road whereas a same way traveler has not yet passed and left an Alert. PLEASE BRING THAT FEATURE BACK ASAP!

Option to Ignore Construction Zones
It would be tremendously helpful to have the ability to ignore construction zones/certain stretches of road. And if possible with the option to automatically ignore if speeds are less than a certain threshold.

Blocked lane(s) selection
When a user selects to report a hazard on the road with either a stopped vehicle or object on road, display a view of that road’s lanes so they can select the lane(s) that are blocked for drivers approaching to prepare.

The word "object" should be pronounced with the accent on the first syllable (the noun), not the second syllable (the verb).
Today waze told me there was an obJECT in the road ahead.

Introduce a Waze for trucks and caravans
Increasingly people are relying more and more on navigation. The app provides the quickest and most direct routes which is great for normal circumstances. However, trucks, Lorrie’s, large motor homes are not taken into consideration. I live near a golf course where a small road crosses the fairways and we are seeing more and more large vehicles on a road which is totally unsuitable for them and can often get stuck. There needs to be a version which keeps trucks and towing vehicles on appropriate roadways. There are ‘caravan related sat nav’s such as Co pilot and perhaps Waze…

Allow private road closure reports when report limit hit
I had a problem trying to get home during a bad flood event. There were a lot of closed roads which Waze tried to send me down and eventually I got the “Too many reports” message (which I assume is to avoid abuse), so I wasn’t able to map a route home as Waze still tried to direct me through closed roads.
To avoid this, when a report limit is hit, why not allow reports to be made that are only visible to me?
That way I would still be able to map a route that works and…1 vote -

Dead animal option in hazards
There have been several times where dead animals have been described as "objects". For example, today I saw someone's dog who had died on the road was described as an "object". As someone who is very upsetted by dead animals, I would like there to be an option for "dead animal" so I know not to look. I know there used to be an option for it, but now it seems to be gone.

Shortcut to settings while navigating
I have one major piece of feedback. While one is driving and let’s say they decide during their route to avoid highways or toll roads, the user must stop the route, go to the settings, change the settings, reinsert the address and go. On Google Maps, there’s a shortcut to these settings so you don’t have to take all the those steps. Your app has to be safer to use. Let’s be real, people don’t always pull over to use their phone. When I’m in the middle of traffic and I have to go through all your steps to…

Distance to overtaking lane
On australian highways we have overtaking lanes at various distances along the road. It would be nice to know the distance to the next overtaking lane to allow people to wait instead of making risky overtaking moves when the next overtaking lane is only 1km away

Weather
Icy road and severe weather alerts need a quicker expiration time. I just did a road trip that had hundreds of icy road and severe weather alerts that were 2-8 days old for roads that were dry and skies that were clear. I could only clear one when there were over 4 reports stacked on the same location.

Route away from schools at pickup & dropoff time
We've been noticing an increasing amount of Waze traffic near our local elementary school. It is dangerous for the kids who are biking to school (and not yet as reliable as adults) -- we have had three kids hit by cars in our small city so far this year. And I'm sure it is annoying for drivers -- we've seen a lot of folks swerving around slow cars etc.
I would love to be able to tell Waze the pickup and dropoff windows for our school, and have it automatically route away from the school (and ideally nearby streets).
Maybe…

Ability to enter when a lane is closed due or a turn is temporarily blocked
Need the ability to identify temporary lane closures as well as temporary turn prevention due to any activity. I have experienced this a number of times where a lane is closed off for some type of activity but Waze doesn’t allow me to report it to x pet for saying Construction on road when it isn’t always construction. Sometimes lanes are closed temporarily for events being held in the streets or even a right turn isn’t allowed because of road closures or other work being performed.

Close the Segment user is currently on
In Rural areas the users may encounter a situation where the road may be closed due to a problem like a downed tree or other issues. In order for Waze to re-route it needs to know that the road is closed and there is no way to report a closure of the current segment that they are on. App only allows reporting of the closure from the nearest intersection in the direction of travel, which will fail to re-route.
