User Reporting - initial and more details
Add an option to email reporting user for more details when creating the report. The long press on report currently gives options for Police, Hazard and Traffic. My suggestion is to add one for 'email me' where the user can provide full details when they are not driving. Navigating to the Report, finding the correct option, before finding the Later option is not safe when you driving.
As editors, there are a lot of reports with minimal detail. Posting a request for the submitter to provide more details rarely gets a response.

Fuel availability reports in Ukraine
Hi there,
Most likely, you already know that Ukraine has been attacked by Russia. Since then, fuel availability has been a very critical issue.
The only way to figure out if the fuel is available is by going to the station. It's very risky, especially when you don't have a lot of fuel, to go through every station.
I suggest creating a feature of reporting if fuel is missing or available, and potentially enabling people to sign up for push notifications when it becomes available. This would be a HUGE help to lots of people in our country.

Hide
Dear Waze support, I really like your app and I'm using a lot. Because of that reason, I got second time a screen burn issue of the Yellow bubble on the right bottom corner.
This is the only thing during usage which is always on the same place and can't be hidden or put somewhere else.I'd really appreciate if you can spend more time about this non functional requirements in the future.
Thanks again!

Landscape mode - report (not selectable)
About a year ago - report became unselectable via UI when the phone is in landscape mode.
A separate control to switch map orientation sits underneath. Change map rotation fires instead of the considerably larger "report ui"
Id like the UI to function - report being one of the more helpful pieces whilst driving.

Stop blocking excessive reporting
There are a huge number of pot holes in Sydney due to the floods and rainfall. I was reporting each and every one until I got flagged for excessive reporting noting my account would be blocked from reporting. If this is designed to be a community app, remove this feature blocking people so we can save damage to our vehicles and potentially save lives.

Colour rings around reports
Have colour rings around reported Hazzards on a timer. Eg it's red when first reported and stays red when the report "still there" button is pressed by re setting a timer. The ring turns blue after a set time until or unless the "not there" button is pressed and the report has been removed. This will let drivers know if the report is current and up to date or if it's an old report and has been ignored and not removed.

Finger hold for icon placement
When placing a hazard or police location on the map, currently you have to tap on the screen to bring up the choices, tap for police, tap again for their location and then tap again to place it on the map. Why not after the first tap, if you keep your finger on the screen, automatically show the options, slide your finger to the one you want, and then once your finger is released, the icon drops straight into the map.
Simple and less steps to get the right icon on the map and also lessens the time concentrating on…16 votes -

Potholes are removed by bad actors
I drive rideshare and diligently mark devastating potholes just for them to be removed moments later. There may be bad actors in high clearance vehicles with big tires removing these, or just people that don't see them from a different lane. It's likely many just want the notification off screen and mindlessly downvote. It needs to be more difficult to get rid of pothole reports, or allow us a setting to make recent reports more persistent regardless of downvotes.

Disable this feature (with Police exposing) for Ukraine immediately
Dear Waze.
My name is Mykhailo. and i'm a QA lead from Ukraine in a similar product as you.
I've been using your app for years, which I'm thankful for.Today, in this dark age, our country use your app to get away from hot spots to west.
Although , the feature that expose Police spots helps russian's separatists escape.
PLEASE I'm begging you to disable (at least temporary) this feature (with Police exposing) for Ukraine immediately .16 votes
