Hazard link fix
The car on roadway report link was removed. While being on the shoulder is probably the most seen report for cars stopped, a car stopped in the middle of the road is also a serious hazard. I think this link should be added back.

Add to reporting options
Please consider adding an addition to the hazard, crashes or traffic jams portion of the reporting...I.e., hazard LEFT shoulder, crash RIGHT lane, RIGHT or LEFT lane closed merge right/left. Today we do not know where the issue is, and this would be super helpful in Miami traffic 😩

Blacklist police
When there are multiple police reports in the UK in one area it usually means there is a police checkpoint, recently there have been more in my area however me and my friends noted that the police also use waze themselves and press “not there” to remove warnings other waze users have put so that people do not realise and have to go through the whole headache of getting checked. A couple of ways around this could be that you require multiple different users to press “not there” before removing from the map or if a user has been stationary…

off-screen RTC reporting in app
i'd like to have the ability to add an RTC from the app when i'm not centered on my current location.
for instance, i can often see a closure on a road that's not part of my route and i'd like to be able to mark it as closed but maybe once i've reached a safe stopping point. For instance if i'm on my way to work and pass a side street with a closure i'd like to mark it once i get there, but as soon as i've passed it the option is gone because the report pin disappears…

Going back to correct reported hazard
Since the fantastic (not sarcasm - I really like the update - for the most part) update after I attempt to report a hazard I’ve noticed if I tap the wrong category or want to back out to the previous screen, it cancels the entire report. Then I’m 1/2 a mile down the road and it doesn’t make sense to do a new report because the location won’t be accurate.
Please PLEASE allow to back out of the category. Forget people saying “too many taps to report” if you keep from changing the location of the options muscle memory takes…2 votes -
NOT AN IDEA.. A REPORT.. After the iOS version of the App was upgraded, I cannot report police activity, on plain view or hidden, anymore.
NOT AN IDEA.. A REPORT.. After the iOS version of the App was upgraded, I cannot report police activity, on plain view or hidden, anymore. When I try to send a report, the app does nothing. It's supposed to tell me: Report Sent!

Speed camera notifications
Hi
First of all thanks for the service.
As a constant waze user I think one major upgrade would to be able to get speed camera notifications even if you are not speeding. This would help as sometimes the smart motorways sometimes are at a lower speed on digital sign than the current speed limits. Thanks again.Kind regards

Display for reporting
Like the new reporting format. Why not out a button format for the second level instead of having to scroll to find the choice. On Apple Car Pmay, if you choose to report a hazard, you have to scroll to find pothole, there are 6 choices and with button layout they can all fit, without the need to scroll.

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..

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!

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!!

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!

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…

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

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.

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!
