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.

Allow me to delete the hazard "Vehicle stopped on shoulder" without deleting all hazards
You need to be able to split which road hazards you want or don't want. I would kill to be able to stop being told about a vehicle on the shoulder but still be able to know about other hazards. Seriously, if the vehicle is on the shoulder it isn't a hazard.

Can we please have a way to flag roads as traffic calmed?
Waze repeatedly tries to direct me onto roads that have traffic calming humps, which wears out my suspension & throws my tracking out. I'd like for there to be a way to flag up roads as traffic calmed in the map editor and for there to be an option "Avoid traffic calming". People with SUVs can carry on driving over the humps but folks like myself who like a stiffened, lowered suspension would be very thankful to avoid the almost off-road experience these measures create.

Innovative collision warning system for Waze
Here's an award-winning innovation to reduce road accidents and anticipate traffic conjestion: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Tws6tho924. As Waze already uses GPS and connects drivers in real-time, the integration of this collision warning system will be groundbreaking for Waze. What do you say?

State line
When crossing into a different state it would be nice to receive an audible alert and/or a pop up notification that you have crossed into a new state like Google maps does. When on a long road trip sometimes we don’t know what state we have crossed into and it would be helpful to get notified.

Hgv lorrys
I drive a hgv lorry and often satnavs and maps can lead you down a dodgy road with height width restrictions, weight limits. Could Waze have an option for hgv lorrys? Also including speed limits for hgv due to them being different from cars

Better iPad interface.
The iPad interface is a bit cumbersome to use while driving. I find many of the buttons are too small. I have my iPad docked in a RAM mount next to the stick shift, so its right next to my shift hand.
Different screens appear in different sizes (like the event selection screen is cut in half when reporting a hazard or similar).
Also, display of speed and similar information in the lower right should be larger, much like the turn-by-turn directions in the lower left.
I would also appreciate any prompt buttons to be larger. If the buttons could…12 votes -

Add an Undo / Revert Button to "View History"
Sometimes edits are made not following the guidelines or not reflecting the actual road conditions (the editor thinks what is seen in the satellite imagery / Street View is current).
Since the history of the objects is already tracked, a revert button should be simple enough to implement and can save valuable edit time.

Split major roads to reflect the reality of the situation
Major roads are often shown as one road when in reality they are two roads. These means alerts may refer to one side or the other causing confusion. For example is the police alert for the other side of the road or this side. Its an obvious flaw in the presentation of map data. The reality is not reflected by the maps.

Make pop-up traffic notifications smaller or more discrete.
Pop-up traffic notifications are too big. I can't see the road in question, especially since many roads in don't have names and I need visual clues to know exactly where the congestion is. It would really help to have a more discrete notification in a bar above or below the main view while the map pans over to the road in question.

Mute voice guidance near home/work
Please have an option to mute the voice guidance in a radius of [X] distance from my home, and/or from work. Alerts should not be muted by this setting.
It's annoying that I have to listen to voice guidance near my home -- I know how to get from my house to the main road, thank you very much! But turning the voice off and on again during the drive (during every drive!) is a nuisance and a safety risk.

Speedcam reporting in Client.
Please add possibillity to set speed limit of road when reporting speed cameras. This will make it 10 times easier to get quality data. Perhaps even when reporting the speed cam, an quick enter speed limit dialogue with the road signs of the country. Something that could be downloaded with the voice files perhaps?

Additional fields in Tollbooth hazard
It would be great to add some fields to Tollbooth hazard like "name", "price" and "payment methods", so that Waze can warn (on screen and TTS) about the next toll on the Wazer route and, at least, its name and price.

"Avoid" option for single track roads with passing places
When travelling in Devon, Cornwall or anywhere where there is a lot of unspoiled countryside, I suggest Waze make available an option in the Navigation Settings to "AVOID" Single Track Roads With Passing Places.

Adding hazards to oncoming traffic
You should include an option to add hazards to not only your side of the road, but the other side (oncoming traffic) as well. Sometimes it is easier to see the other side than it is your side and it would benefit everyone, not just the people going the same direction as you.
