Voice activated hazard reporting
Hi,
I would like to suggest getting,
1. AI technology for self learning and improving maps as in some instances wazers know better routes to that of the waze map.
2. Voice activated controls in reporting hazards - in the UK unfortunately even tapping the phone while driving can lead to prosecution and driving bans. If somehow, waze can be voice activated when reporting hazards or police presence, etc. For example we say, "Hey Google" to activate and request Google assistance.
In waze we already can voice activate destinations through Google assistance.
My point is to avoid touching the phone…2 votes -
Display username whoever report crash on waze and limit change of username like twice in year. Tow truck drivers create chaos reporting Fake
I wonder if you could display username whoever report crashes on Waze and limit change of username twice in years something, here in Gold coast Australia tow truck drivers post false reports of crashes everyday and change their username multiple times in day, some of them just distract opposition tow truck drivers by reporting fakes and create traffic chaos for public and some of them just do for fun only. because there are no more likes or dislikes options shown on reports now it's very hard to know if they are reported legit or false, some of doggy tow trucker…

Type of hazard
Better options for reporting a hazard, particularly a hazard that is in live lane of carriageway. One example that stands out would be to report a car that has stopped in the live carriageway. Currently, I can only report a vehicle on shoulder.
Example: 'Report - Hazard - Vehicle Stopped in Carriageway'.
This is a very important reporting option.
Example 2: 'Report - Hazard - Wildlife in Carriageway'.
Basically, more hazard reporting options would be useful.4 votes -
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.

Reporting road closures shouldn’t report on a road being driven on
When I was trying to report a road closure, it automatically suggested the closure was for the road I was driving on. Why would that ever be the case?

School Bus in Emergency
I would like to have an option where drivers can notify others that there are school bus on the way. This can also be helpful for better accuracy on the navigation so that other drivers can go in a faster way. This way more than 15 cars don't need to be sitting behind a school bus and go another path before encountering it.

Lombas
Olá Waze, tendo em atenção a segurança rodoviária, e como exemplo as lombas de calmia de trânsito na via pública, pelas dimensões das mesmas e que muitas vezes não visiveis pelos condutores ou estão mal identificadas, proponho a ideia de uma opção para poder-se identificar os locais das lombas que podem representar mais perigo para os condutores, tal como pode-se identificar os perigos, como boraco na estrada ou passagem de nível, visto que são obstáculos permanentes.
Obrigado,
Continuação de um excelente trabalho,Dino Midões

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.

Allow us to create customizable single press shortcut button for hazard reporting etc.
Too many steps to press while driving to report hazard etc can be dangerous. Why not allow users to create a customizable single press shortcut button for reporting car on shoulder or object on road instead of multiple steps of pressing buttons to get to the final issue. ie. not needing to press Hazard and then having to search the type of hazard in the small phone screen while driving. A single shortcut would be much easier. The most commonly used report for me is car on shoulder so why not just allow me to create that single shortcut.

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 -

Police Notification Radius
When a Police notification appears confirming if still there, the location is much further away and well before I can SEE if they are still there to confirm. Not sure if my speed is slow or it times out but I never seem to reach the location to confirm or deny their presence. Should stay on screen longer. Thank you.
