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..
89 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?

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.

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.…

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!

Drunk
Subject: Innovative Idea for Enhancing Road Safety- Reporting Drunk Drivers on Waze.
I propose adding a feature that allows users to report suspected drunk drivers directly through the app. Similar to how users can report hazards or police activity, a “Report Drunk Driver” button could alert nearby drivers of a potentially dangerous situation. This could help keep drivers safe by providing timely warnings and allow law enforcement to be notified for quicker intervention.
This feature could include:
• A Quick Reporting Option: Users could tap a button to report a suspected drunk driver, including the vehicle’s description and location.

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!

Choose report-favorites for faster reporting
Since the updated reports they became way too much and complicated. I want to have a funciton where I can select favorite reports for faster reporting. Sometimes it takes too long to find the right report for example under hazards or blocked lanes - that's affecting the attention of the driver and with that the traffic safety.

Being able to pinpoint the exact location of a cop, wreck or other map issue
I think Wazer should be able to pinpoint the exact location of a cop, wreck or etc. I know that in the state that I live in, if a cop sees you on the phone, they’re going to pull you over and give you a ticket. So therefore, I can only report a cop after I have already passed them, which leads to an incorrect location of where the cop actually is.

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.

*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…

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.

“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…

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…
