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..

Animals
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?

Please add "Wildlife" as a Hazard option. Being notified of a significantly large animal that could trouble is important.

Temporary Traffic Light Option!
Option to report Temporary Traffic Lights!
the option to report construction isn’t good enough because sometimes there’s a temporary traffic light with no construction around so people report it as ‘not there’, waze will take you down that route without knowing the temporary traffic light is there, surrounded by loads of traffic! People will report something else to make others aware there is something there as there isn’t the accurate option of a temporary traffic light.

Do not cancel driver reports for mis-taps
Suggestion: Do not dump Wazers completely out of the reporting process because of a mis-tap or error.
Problem solved: Prevents Wazers from having their attempts to help totally aborted due to mistakes, which is discouraging, frustrating, annoying, demoralizing, and may discourage Wazers from submitting future reports.
Discussion:
When a user opens the report feature on a mobile device, they are presented with a collection of icons to choose from. If, because they are driving and trying to pay attention to the road, they happen to miss the target and accidentally tap the space between icons, the report display cancels out.…

Ability to report wildlife near roadways
In I would assume many places around the world but mainly suggesting this for Australia, there is often wildlife near or around roadways that may cause a hazard to motorists and as I have seen myself, this occurs near bends in roads and it think it would be a great feature to add, so that normal waze users are able to report wildlife that they see so that other motorists in the area are aware of it so that they can keep an eye out to prevent an accident.

Horses
I travel through an area where wild horses run across roads or simply stand close to shoulder in herds. Almost every other day I post it as a pot hole to alert other Waze users passing. I think the app could use an option; multiple horse icon for herd or 2+, left side and right side

car on shoulder specification.
you should add a subsection under “car on the shoulder” for “right shoulder” or “left shoulder”. this helps in big cities where the highways are quite large. If someone is on the right shoulder it doesn’t affect the people in the left lane. but if i can’t see 300 feet ahead of me in the left lane, and there’s someone in the left shoulder, it affects everyone that’s flying on the left lane, as well as other cars on the roadways. just a thought.

After reporting a police, accident, hazards, thank you message does not appear
After reporting an police, hazard, or an accident, the thank you message doesn't go away. This makes impossible for me to report new hazards.

*NEW* hazard notification for roadkill
Dear my WAZE PPL
First, I want to thank waze for creating such an outstanding navigation tool that helps so many drivers stay informed and safe on the road. I truly appreciate how the app continuously evolves to meet the needs of its users.
I’d like to suggest a potential improvement to the “Hazards” feature. While the current options, such as “Objects on Road,” are helpful, I believe there’s an opportunity to make the app even more informative and user-friendly by adding an alert specifically for roadkill or deceased animals on the road.
In my area, it’s common to encounter…

Waze user to be able to edit or delete his own incorrect report location
Why cant a wazer that reports a camera or police position edit his own report if he makes a mistake? Its hard to accurately report such things whilst driving and passing the location, not to mention illegal. I wont report now as I made a mistake and couldn't edit or remove the incorrect report. Please can we have this feature in a future update to enable new wazers to accurately use the report feature and in turn promote wazers confidence and a more accurate location reporting. I was so embarrassed when I made the false report that I haven't dared…

450m alerts are sufficient but not for the police. Way too late!
Waze changed alerts threshold to 450m, which is suitable for all alerts but the police! Their laser guns have a range of 1200m, and even old threshold of 800m was not effective. Now the most useful Waze feature is gone!

Add > Hazard > On road > Vehicle Stopped/Broken down
Knowing if a vehicle is stopped on the road or on the shoulder is critical. This information could be life-saving. We recommend updating your navigation app to include this feature.
