Ability to Report “Automated License Plate Reader” Cameras (ALPR Cameras/Flock Cameras)
I’m writing as a Waze user with a feature suggestion that I believe fits naturally with what has made Waze such a valuable navigation platform… giving drivers useful, community-sourced information about the roads they travel.
I would like to ask Waze to consider adding the ability for users to report fixed automated license plate reader (ALPR) cameras, including systems commonly known as Flock cameras.
Waze already empowers its community to share information about police presence, red-light cameras, speed cameras, crashes, hazards, construction, and other conditions that may be relevant to drivers. As automated surveillance technology becomes increasingly common along public…

Prevent drivers from spamming map editors with update requests (URs)
Waze volunteer map editors have, over a number of years, have raised concerns about the ability for app users, whether intentionally or unintentionally, to submit a high volume of map update requests through the app and other sources. This issue has been consistently raised by volunteer editors at all levels, including editors, area managers, state and country managers, as well as local and global champs who are on the ground editing the map daily. It has also been discussed at local, mega, and global meetups.
To date, this security concern has not yet been addressed, which is why I am…

There/Not there button on reports
Construction reports no longer have a there/not there button as it asks whether or not a lane is blocked. There needs to be an option to confirm the existence of construction reports or any other report type, now and in the future.

Use the Bluetooth mesh for alerts when there is no internet connection (like Bitchat)
Using Bluetooth mesh technology to create a network where each device sends an alert to the next device, until one of the devices is connected to the internet and that alert is sent to the network. Just like it's done with the Bitchat app.
Many times we drive a very long stretch without internet access, and important events happen on the road that we need other drivers to see. With this Bluetooth network activated, we can share with drivers near us, and they can share with those closest to them, eventually reaching someone who has satellite internet or even mobile…25 votes -
Snap "Broken Traffic Light" reports to the nearest light & restrict outside valid zones
Currently, users can report "Broken Traffic Light" anywhere, which leads to spam, point-farming, and incorrect placements on highways or open roads with no traffic lights.
Since traffic lights are now an official feature in the Waze Map Editor, the reporting system should be updated:
Snap to Traffic Light Node: To account for delayed reporting while driving, clicking "Broken Traffic Light" should automatically attach the alert to the nearest registered traffic light node passed recently, instead of the driver's current position down the road.
Restrict Invalid Locations: If no traffic light node exists nearby, disable the option or display a message:…5 votes -
Flock is not mobile speed camera
So sick of ignorant people marking flock cameras as mobile speed cameras.

Make the Map Team replies detect the prefer language of the user to send the first message in the user language
Hi, i have noticed that the " Map Team " messages are all in English as default. it would be good if the Map Team can detect the prefer language of the user, and send the message in their prefer language. Specially for example in Miami and Puerto Rico, there is a lot of people that only speak Spanish, so when they get the message in English they wont reply to that message until i send the response in Spanish. so if we can get the Map Team reply message in the user prefer language the possibility of getting a…

Que habiliten nuevamente la opción de dejar mensajes sobre una alerta. No es lo mismo informar sobre un peligro que ampliar mediante el chat de mapa la oportunidad de prevenir sobre el mismo.

User Report: option to share destination
Editors often receive User Reports (URs) categorized as “map issue” that actually refer to problems with the route suggested by Waze to the destination.
However, editors currently have no way of knowing which destination the user entered in the app, which makes it difficult - and sometimes impossible - to properly analyze the reported issue.
I fully understand the privacy concerns involved. Still, I suggest offering users, on an optional basis, the ability to share their destination when submitting a UR, especially in cases related to “incorrect address” or “incorrect instructions.”
This would allow editors to investigate issues much more…

Animal Crossing Hazard
I tend to be on the road often and absolutely love using Waze whenever I need a GPS. As someone on the road often, I tend to notice there are many times that there are sudden animal crossings or a lost pet on the side of the road. This does tend to be on highways where many people are going very fast and are not as careful with their driving.
I recently thought of the idea- I think Waze should include a button, under the hazard category where we could press some form of “careful animal crossing” button to warn…

Camera
Hello Waze Support Team,
I would like to suggest adding a new reporting option for hidden or concealed speed/traffic cameras.
Similar to the existing options for reporting police, accidents, hazards, and other incidents, it would be very useful to have an option such as “Hidden Camera” or “Camera Behind Road Sign”.
Recently, in the UAE, new cameras have been installed discreetly behind road signs and street-name/signage boards. Many drivers are receiving fines because these cameras are difficult to notice while driving.
If Waze added a specific reporting option for these cameras, Waze users could report their locations and help build…
