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?

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!

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.

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…

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.
55 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.

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!

Waze data as legal evidence
It is frustrating when vehicles are being operated unsafely and there doesn't happen to be a police officer to witness. Yesterday as I was driving down a busy NY highway 4 motorcyclists were doing wheelies, tailgating cars and weaving in and out of traffic. In the absence of a police witness perhaps a certain number of hazard reports from Wazers, including offender's license plate numbers, might be sufficient evidence for law enforcement to pursue charges against drivers creating hazardous conditions. Has anyone considered this? Thank you.

As a motorcycle user
Not all motorcycle users have an intercom, and while driving the motorcycle we cannot hear alerts, radars, accidents, police. It would be good if, given these notifications, The entire mobile screen flashes, to visually alert. Dashboard type in MotoGP.

Fixing a mistake when creating a report
Sometimes, as I try to set up a report, I click the wrong button, and there’s no way to go back to correct the error. If you close out, you lose the chance to report the issue at the point at which it’s happening. This wasn’t always a problem, but an update made this an issue.

Reply to Waze reports
To be able to use a voice command to respond to a Waze report - meaning, Waze reports an accident and asks "Is it still there". It is difficult (and possibly dangerous to respond when using Android Auto as this requires manual navigation to respond.

Under fire area and relevant closures in Google Maps are missing in Waze
A severe fire was ongoing the previous weeks near our capital city in Greece, covering a vast area. While Google Maps is aware of the area that is under fire and has imposed relevant closures, I notice that in Waze, there are no closures in the same area at all.
I believe that it is very important for Waze to be able to pull such data from Google Maps in case of emergencies like fires, so it can protect and inform intime the drivers.
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

There is insufficient time to confirm reports.
There is insufficient time to confirm reports. When he gets there and I see it visually to confirm, the possibility has already disappeared. With pre-approval, the function loses its meaning.
