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.

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.

Speed bumps and closed roads in CarPlay
Currently we report speed bumps as potholes. If we could report them differently, nobody would expect a speed bump to disappear. And you could sell pothole information to local governments for pothole fixing planning.
I love being able to report closed roads. But I can’t do it using CarPlay. That should be possible, otherwise the app will try to send us again through the same blocked road. Please fix this.4 votes -
Better Report Road Closure Support
This app is super useful, but today after serious flooding in my area I realized some major downsides... Please make it easier to report road closures!! Once you turn around, you can't report that the road behind you is closed and sometimes you need to move out of the way NOW! I wish I could still report after I've driven away. Also, if a road is local traffic only but fully closed further ahead, I can't report that the road is closed up ahead. Also, add a feature to report how much flooding there is when people report a flooding…

One Touch for vehicle stopped on shoulder
For me 9 out of 10 hazard reports are a vehicle stopped on the shoulder. It takes 3 taps. I suggest to create a new button on the main screen that does the report in one tap only - like a macro. It will be safer and easie

Alerta de lombadas
O waze poderia alertas de lombadas, no brasil o poder público deveria cuidar das sinalizações mas não o faz, os alertas podem ser construídos como os radares
Vejam quantos artigos que relatam a falta de segurança

Larger Closure Range
When you want to add a closure, it only shows the roads infront of your trip. More often then not, you get to the intersection and find out theres a closure that Waze didnt know about, you have cars behind you so you turn a different direction. So when you press on 'Closure', it doesnt let you chose the closure you just passed because it is now behind you.

Pot Holes Don't Dissappear!
Once reported these should stay until told they've gone. They don't just dissappear by magic from the roads

Hazard Report End Date
Give users the option to set a hazard report time out or end date. It should default to something sensible for the type of hazard, but can be modified if desired.
For example, there are currently roadworks ongoing for a 2 month period on my daily commute while they are joining up roads and installing a roundabout. The road surface is gravel as they are replacing the road base.
Every day I report it, and almost every day it times out and disappears by the time I drive home again.
Similarly, potholes do not disappear until they are fixed -…

Police report : choosing the exact location
It is crucial to add a feature that allows users to pinpoint the exact location of police officers on the map. Or to be able to correct the location of the police officer. This increased precision will help drivers easily identify control zones and adjust their speed accordingly.

Add “pedestrians” and “object” to Hazard reports on shoulder.
Add “pedestrian/s to Hazard reports. Often people post warning using “animals”, however, this is quite disrespectful and pedestrian/s are in danger and warning will be great.
Add “Object” to hazard warning. Often branches, trees or other debris on shoulder lane, which are also dangerous.
Thank you!

Workers Present and Emergency Vehicles
Maybe add a report for highway maintenance workers present. And perhaps generalize police to emergency vehicle present to include fire and ambulance. Police watch the highway for more than just speeders. It’s not always a good idea for everybody (such as drunk drivers) to know about specific police presence

Have different reports for police. Knowing if its a booze bus, speed camera, high patrol car etc would be very helpful.
Police report expanded or additional report features added

Remove the Blocked for Excessive Reporting 'Feature'
Dear Waze,
At the very least, the 'blocked for excessive reporting' feature is overly sensitive; I say this,
as on a recent long trip, just reporting the usual road hazards and police presence, was enough for the app to block me from making further reports.I was then unable to report a hidden police speed trap due to this feature, which to me, defeats part of the purpose of using this great app.
The blocking occurred even though I've reached 'Royalty Wazer' status. I'm unsure if this is a bug, as the setting is obviously overly aggressive.
Please amend or…

gas station status
Dear Madam/Sir! As per the current situation in Hungary, it would be an extreme valuable help if we could signal if there is gas available at a station and if the station is open or in a "closed due to no fuel" status. BR, Gabor Pikacs

Whiteout conditions
A report for winter whiteout conditions would be extremely useful and a great safety feature for those in the north that deal with these weather conditions.
Whiteouts are the single most dangerous winter driving we run into and they can come out of nowhere and effect very narrow sections of highway causing near zero visibility leading to pileups.4 votes -
Improve petrol station reporting

When at a fuel station, the request to update prices doesn't always occur so pricing isn't up to date.4 votes -
