Accident Alert
Waze provides alternate routes when approaching an accident which is really helpful. My suggestion is that WAZE “announce”…. ACCIDENT AHEAD, ALTERNATE ROUTE PROVIDED”….this allows us to know why the alternate is being provided. Sometimes we are on the road for long times and get tired. Thank yo.

Fixing a mistake when creating a report
Sometimes, as I try to set up a report, I click the wrong button, and there’s no way to go back to correct the error. If you close out, you lose the chance to report the issue at the point at which it’s happening. This wasn’t always a problem, but an update made this an issue.

Return the ability to Mark Animals I’m the hazard icon on Waze
You took away the ability to mark animals under the hazard icon on your map. I would always mark dear when I come to work early in the morning when it’s still dark out, I would mark them so people would not hit them with the car and maybe get injured themselves or kill the deer please return this that you had on a hazard icon. Otherwise I’m leaving Waze because I don’t agree with this policy.

Reply to Waze reports
To be able to use a voice command to respond to a Waze report - meaning, Waze reports an accident and asks "Is it still there". It is difficult (and possibly dangerous to respond when using Android Auto as this requires manual navigation to respond.

Under fire area and relevant closures in Google Maps are missing in Waze
A severe fire was ongoing the previous weeks near our capital city in Greece, covering a vast area. While Google Maps is aware of the area that is under fire and has imposed relevant closures, I notice that in Waze, there are no closures in the same area at all.
I believe that it is very important for Waze to be able to pull such data from Google Maps in case of emergencies like fires, so it can protect and inform intime the drivers.
Thanks!

Less restrictions for map editors
It is absolutely insane that map editors still have to ask the reporter for the exact street and cross street to complete edit requests and map updates! I have been a member since 2009 and I still can not ever remember specifics because I have a life outside of making Waze reports and notations. Also, the “navigation history” which map editors refer you to, does not have every turn. Please fix this so that users will want to report more instead of just getting frustrated.

Report response tap areas instead of buttons
I think the buttons to confirm or deny warnings (like roadworks, police or object on road) are too small. On bumpy roads, it’s easy to mistap.
Tip for Improvement:
Consider replacing the small buttons with larger, semi-transparent tap areas on the screen. For example, use the quarter bottom left of the screen for 'Yes' and bottom right quarter for 'No'. This would make it much easier to respond accurately while driving.2 votes -

Fix Road Closure selecting
I am a traffic controller and I try to accurately report what roads are closed for the safety of the workers and convenience of others. Most the time I can't even report the street that's closed as the app won't let me select them. It will only do main roads or the roads that are next to the road I want to select. You also have to physically be on the road to select them which is another issue as I can't really leave my post to walk to each road to select them. It's very frustrating. If I could…

Impossible to report road closures on my phone ( iPhone13 pro)

The option to be able to mark speed bumps or potholes on the map for yourself or for everyone
Mark for yourself or others the areas where there are speed bumps or potholes to reduce speed in advance before reaching that area marked on the map and be careful, since in Mexico there are many speed bumps that are not marked, in addition potholes are common, and the fact of being able to reduce speed in advance would make many drivers take better care of their vehicle.

Make UR emails replyable
Like right now there's a couple of reporters that reply to the emails instead of clicking on the links. Would it be possible to create a certain email wildcard that posts what they say in the email onto WME? I've seen this done with other businesses so I don't know why Waze can't do it. For the meantime at least add a banner at the top of the email body stating it's a no reply email and to use the links provided instead.
7 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.

Stop cops from reporting “no longer there”
If a vehicle hasn’t moved for a set time (ie a cop doing a speed trap) don’t let them report “no longer there” or remove the icon. If other wazers are moving on the road, but the one cancelling reports is not, suspend the account. Especially if they are cancelling multiple reports from different wazers in the same area.

Hi the New beta is fine but we still need a button to report by speech, because you are still forced to press buttons on smartphone to report a situation we need a wake up command IN WAZE
(like hi Waze please report traffic ahead). Or Hi Waze Report. And Waze says: what would you like to report? Traffic ahead.
- same as google but google Assistent commands only affects and redirects to google browser..
Not waze it does nothing in Waze. Only google maps!
