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..
88 votesHey,
Please note we're changing the status of this suggestion to Currently Not Planned, since we finalized our plans for 2024 and this idea won't be implemented this year.
We hope to include it in our plans for later down the line.
Thanks!

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?

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.…

Report animals on the road
Please add a feature to report animals on the road, similar to how we can report hazards or traffic incidents. This would help alert drivers and improve safety for both people and animals.

Animal on road
There used to be an option to report animals, dead or alive, on the road. It is no longer an option. I would like to suggest this option be brought back. This is especially helpful to drivers who would be prepared to stop for roadkill or cattle. I also see this option as being helpful to alert agencies to pick up roadkill when needed. Change it back please.

PH/ Time based PH for Flood and Landslide
We have many roads and zones that may have frequent and sudden flooding and landslides. Thus, we would like to request to add support for PH / time-based PH for floods and landslides, just like road closure, which can be added directly by editors in the Waze map editor. For those countries where there's no partner hub and low Waze traffic, it will be easier to add PH directly by editors based on the information obtained from various official sources.

Put “animals” back on the options to report
Please please please put the option to report animals on the side of the road again. This was EXTREMELY helpful and important to ensure the safety of the animals and other drivers. This honestly breaks my heart because I love animals and want to keep the as safe as possible!

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!

Please bring back animal hazard
There used to be a button for nearby animals. This was very helpful living in an area with many deer, turkey, foxes running across roads. Now the only thing is a general “hazard” button which could mean anything, or map chat which isn’t safe to use while driving

Return the ability to Mark Animals I’m the hazard icon on Waze
You took away the ability to mark animals under the hazard icon on your map. I would always mark dear when I come to work early in the morning when it’s still dark out, I would mark them so people would not hit them with the car and maybe get injured themselves or kill the deer please return this that you had on a hazard icon. Otherwise I’m leaving Waze because I don’t agree with this policy.

Being able to report closed roads when you are not at it
We need to be able to report closed roads when we are not staring at it or driving. I hate that I can only report closures when I'm there. If I know the road is closed I should be able to report that from a safe place or after the drive. I get that it needs to be verified, but it seems like we should be able to do that by linking state/county reports.

“Back” button in Reports
I noticed that when you want to report something (hazard, blocked lane, police, etc…) sometimes I may press the wrong category for what I want to report, but there’s no “Back” button, only “Cancel”. But there’s problem with cancelling, that is you lose the exact location you passed and if you report again it may be misaligned.
There should be an option for a back button to search for other categories in case you misclicked in a category that is not the one you wanted to report initially. This way, the system still holds your “original” location when you pressed…

Screen ui
Instead of tiny buttons to confirm or deny, use a half screen red, half screen green transparent overlay making it possible to answer the alert without looking. It would increase usage and safety to this system.

police
Please reinstate the "Police on Other Side" feature. Reporting speed traps is the most useful reason to report police, and traffic moving in opposite direction will always be better suited to identify and report.
63 votesThanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

Add option allowing your URs to be posted under your username (not anonymoulsy)
It has been said numerous time that due to private data protections, URs are always posted anonymously.
However, many editors use the UR system as a mean to "take notes" of problems during a trip, and then will correct deal with those UR when on WME after the trip.
However, those URs are always marked as anonymous on WME and other editors often start to reply those UR not knowing that those were done by other fellow editors. This leads to a lost of time, since those UR should be considered as "already watched by another editor".
The proposition is…

Customizable alert distances
Make alert distances customizable. The alerts are great but it’s hard to move over when you find out the lane is closed 600ft in front of you. Or that theres 6 miles of traffic that it tells you about after you passed the last exit you could have gotten off or that there’s cops ahead when you can already see them. I believe customizable alert distances for each type of alert could solve this problem. For those who want all the information up front they can have very early alerts. For those who don’t want the annoyance of constant notifications…

Feedback on Apple Car Navigation: Suggestion for Closure Notification Feature
Dear Apple Support Team,
I am writing to provide some feedback regarding the navigation application on Apple Car. As a frequent user, I've noticed that there currently isn't an option to alert other drivers about road closures or hazards within the application. This limitation can be quite inconvenient, especially when I wish to share important traffic information with fellow drivers for their safety and route planning.
Having the ability to report closures and hazards directly
