  1. Shortcuts for potholes

    Have an option for customizing buttons on the screen like shortcuts for potholes so you only have to tap once instead of going through menus.

  2. 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..

  3. 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!

  4. Police

    Is there anyway you can report police and speed cameras with a lot more notice, from my experience 0.3 miles is no where near long enough to react in most cases!! Could it change to 1.2 miles. This gives us more time to react and plan ahead. Also you could make the report for the police on both sides of the road!!

  5. Reset the location of a Report in the dialog asking the user if the Report is "Still There"

    Reports are generally close to the correct location, but not always, so an option to reset the location in the dialog for "Still There" would be great!

  6. POLLICY Suggestions from Wazers

    Dear Wazers,

    I believe Waze is an incredible tool, but I think there are opportunities for improvement. Have you considered incorporating features that allow users to suggest improvements to local governments and cities? For instance, users could report issues like potholes, malfunctioning traffic lights, or poorly synchronized signals directly through the app. Waze could then relay these reports to the relevant authorities responsible for maintaining roads and traffic infrastructure.

    Additionally, Wazers could provide suggestions for new roads, bridges, or traffic patterns, which could greatly enrich both the Waze experience and governmental planning efforts. By facilitating this exchange of information, Waze…

  7. Report incidents and police not within your vacinity

    It should be possible to report an incident or police not within your location, as it's very difficult if not impossible to report something in the area when you are on the move. Having to stop to do so makes the reporting feature almost pointless

  8. Allow speed bumps to be reported from app

    In India, due to the high number of speed bumps in all cities, it is really difficult for the volunteer editors to get to all speed bumps in time.

    It would be really nice to report the speed bumps from the app while driving like a pothole report. Since speed bumps do not vanish immediately, they could stay on the app and then reconfirmed by other Wazers.

    Please also allow it to be reported from app, Car Play and Android Auto as our Wazers are spread all over.

  9. ANIMALS ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD

    BRING BACK THE ABILITY TO REPORT ANIMALS ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD!! This was an absolutely poor decision to remove! It’s critical to know when there are deer and other animals!

  10. Hazard needed for a person in/next to road

    There was a person walking on the road in the middle of the highway, I didn’t have a button for human on or on the shoulder of the road. I had to put animal. People need to know if someone is walking on the highway!

  11. One select to report

    To report an issue whilst driving is dangerous and requires 2 presses and some looking at the screen. Why not let driver press the report button just once, at an incident and when vehicle is stopped a reminder comes up on the screen to complete the report. Waze has already logged its location and the driver can then report the issue as normal.

  12. Siri Shortcuts for reporting - PLEASE

    How about enabling Siri interaction so users can report things hands-free? “Siri, tell Waze to report police” or “Siri, tell Waze to report a stopped vehicle on the shoulder” would be a lot safer and easier while driving than fumbling with the phone or CarPlay UI. Please consider it.

  14. No-Cops Report

    Add a No-Cops Report that fades after 30-60mins. We can only report “bad” things and no GOOD things. I dont know if somebody was driving in front of me and just didn’t do the effort to report cops/ potholes

  15. 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.

  16. Reorganziable reports and reports on the main screen customization

    We should be able to organize the report types so it is easier to click certain ones. Also I’d be cool if we could permanently pin certain reposts on the screen so they are quicker to choose for more common reports in our areas

  17. 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.

    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?

  19. "Roadkill" is no longer an available option to select when reporting a Hazard! Why?

    Add "Roadkill" back! 1000's of Wazers are asking the same question! Do you not listen to your followers? Geez!

  20. Suggest reports expire when “reported not there” by a number of Wazers

    Reports are expiring before they should. From personal experience I have seen reports of Roadworks, Police Speed Checks etc. expire on Waze before they are actually over. Is it possible to expire all reports when a number of Wazers report them “Not There”.
    A footnote to this is what happened to me today. We went to Town to do some shopping etc. and reported three different Roadworks. Coming home the three Roadworks were still happening but had disappeared on Waze. I started reporting them again but on the last one I got a Warning for Over Reporting and would lose…
