Hi, I'm a volunteer firefighter in CT, and I'd like to suggest a feature that could improve both public safety and traffic manage
Hi,
I'm a volunteer firefighter in Guilford, CT, and I'd like to suggest a feature that could improve both public safety and traffic management.
As first responders, we frequently close roads or lanes due to motor vehicle accidents, fires, downed trees, and other hazards. Currently, Waze allows users to report road closures, but only at intersections. Many incidents occur between intersections, making it impossible to accurately report the actual closure location.
I propose a "Verified First Responder" reporting feature. Using an existing verification service such as ID.me, Waze could grant verified responders access to additional reporting options, including:
• Road…

Police hotspot layer based on historical report data
Hi Waze team,
I’ve been using Waze for many years and genuinely appreciate the product — it just works, consistently, and that’s rare enough to be worth saying.
I wanted to share a feature idea that came to me on the road. You already have years of aggregated police report data from millions of drivers. The next logical step seems straightforward: use that historical data to surface police hotspots — locations where officers are reported frequently — as a persistent map layer, not just real-time alerts.
The practical value is clear: a driver approaching a stretch where police presence is…1 vote -
Sugerencia: recuperar el chat entre usuarios y agregar modo copiloto
Hola, equipo de Waze.
Llevo más de 5 años usando la aplicación y ha sido una herramienta maravillosa para mis viajes diarios. Quiero hacerles una sugerencia que creo mejoraría mucho la experiencia de muchos usuarios.
Antes existía una función de chat que permitía comunicarse con otros conductores en tiempo real. Eso era muy útil para advertir sobre tráfico, accidentes, desvíos o cualquier percance en la vía. Actualmente ya no está disponible, pero sinceramente sí ayudaba mucho a la comunidad de wazers.
También recuerdo que se podían enviar fotos de los incidentes, lo cual daba mayor claridad a los reportes y…

Voice confirm or expiry of reports
One of Waze's greatest strengths is its community reporting system. However, Waze is much better at creating and confirming reports than it is at efficiently removing stale reports when conditions change.
As a result, users often encounter reports that were once accurate but are no longer valid because police have moved on, traffic has cleared, roadworks have finished, hazards have been removed, or weather conditions have changed.
The goal of this suggestion is to make Waze reports more current, accurate, and self-correcting by allowing users to safely confirm not only that a report is still valid, but also that it…

Option to make reports in either direction of travel
Ability to post reports of road closures, traffic etc in all direction of travel, not just the direction gps “says your heading” for example if stationary in parking lot next to road and see something and want to report, there is no option to just click on precise location of road no matter what direction. Love this app but this is the one option lacking, you would think this option would be available by now. Kind of a very important issue?

In South Africa - so many potholes, would appreciate it moved to the map screen so we could just tap on it to report!
Hi Waze Team,
Firstly, thank you for a genuinely fantastic app — Waze is easily one of the most useful driving tools out there, and the community reporting system works incredibly well overall.
One small usability suggestion: the current “Hazards” button feels a little ambiguous, especially when trying to quickly report something common like potholes while driving. In practice, it can add an extra step to find the option you actually need.
It would be much more user-friendly if the specific report categories were surfaced one level sooner, with the least-used options placed lower down in the list. This would…

Report menu reorganization and favorites
It currently takes several taps to report things. Example: Report button-> Hazard -> Vehicle on the side of the road (-> submit report). My gut feeling is that is my most commonly used report, and I wouldn't be surprised if that were the case for others also.
Also with any report menu rearrangements/removals it becomes nearly impossible to find ones you use less frequently when you actually need them. Say "animals in the area" for example.
Being able to personalize the report menu order or set some as favorites would fix this problem.
I know voice reporting helps with some…

Unmarked police car option for map reporting
Where I live, there are unmarked police cars who are using radar guns to send tickets to people in the mail. Please add an “unmarked police car” option to the reporting menu so people can have the distinction.
