Remove 'Reported map issue' from UR description
This auto generated "Reported map issue" text in the description field isn't adding much value.
In fact that field is supposed to be extra info from the user..
86 votesHey,
Please note we're changing the status of this suggestion to Currently Not Planned, since we finalized our plans for 2024 and this idea won't be implemented this year.
We hope to include it in our plans for later down the line.
Thanks!

police
Please reinstate the "Police on Other Side" feature. Reporting speed traps is the most useful reason to report police, and traffic moving in opposite direction will always be better suited to identify and report.
57 votesThanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

Animals
Please bring back the option to report animals. Who decided to remove it? I can report gas prices at the press of a button but I can’t alert anyone to Bambi skipping across the road?

Reporting closures from further away
Closures can currently only be reported if you're right next to the road. I can't always report it because I'm on a roundabout or having to redirect quickly so as not to cause traffic. However, I can pull over a road or two away to report it but the app doesn't allow this since I can only report it if I'm on or next to the closed road.
I think this is an essential feature that needs to be added because sometimes there aren't diversion signs and I have to find my own way around it without waze because it'll…36 votes -
Stop blocking excessive reporting
There are a huge number of pot holes in Sydney due to the floods and rainfall. I was reporting each and every one until I got flagged for excessive reporting noting my account would be blocked from reporting. If this is designed to be a community app, remove this feature blocking people so we can save damage to our vehicles and potentially save lives.

Rain or heavy rain weather report?
Hello waze team!
It would be great if waze could make a new hazard weather report on "raining" or "heavy rain" on the road. I believe it was sort of missing in hazard>weather report section.
Thank you for hearing me out.
Keep up the good work waze team!
32 votesGreat thinking! We’ll share with the team; they’re always interested in new feature ideas.

Object in roadway
Waze needs to specify which lane to avoid when warning about objects in the road. Add a lane selection when reporting the object and then add that info to the warning. I need to know which lane is safe to drive in.

Ghost driver alert
A new alert would be interesting to have to alert drivers on a specific route that a ghost driver is coming their way and that they should be cautious, maybe telling them to stay in a lane and to reduce their speed.

Fuel availability reports in Ukraine
Hi there,
Most likely, you already know that Ukraine has been attacked by Russia. Since then, fuel availability has been a very critical issue.
The only way to figure out if the fuel is available is by going to the station. It's very risky, especially when you don't have a lot of fuel, to go through every station.
I suggest creating a feature of reporting if fuel is missing or available, and potentially enabling people to sign up for push notifications when it becomes available. This would be a HUGE help to lots of people in our country.

Add option allowing your URs to be posted under your username (not anonymoulsy)
It has been said numerous time that due to private data protections, URs are always posted anonymously.
However, many editors use the UR system as a mean to "take notes" of problems during a trip, and then will correct deal with those UR when on WME after the trip.
However, those URs are always marked as anonymous on WME and other editors often start to reply those UR not knowing that those were done by other fellow editors. This leads to a lost of time, since those UR should be considered as "already watched by another editor".
The proposition is…

Road closure options
Would be nice to be able to report a road closure prior to starting trip. I know a major road is closed but I can't report it to be routed around it until I am at the closure

Send Automatic Reply for when people reply to UR emails
I thought of this idea where, if a user replies to a UR email, they will automatically get an email back (like an Out-of-Office reply) saying, 'Message not Received, you must click the link in the email to reply to this report'.
This would hopefully reduce the amount of URs with no replies, and isn't as hard to implement as other ideas.
Thanks!
