voted 3 times. Any updates? Still can tag a location I am not at yet so...... guess not... Seems like a huge overlook and an easy "fix".... wazederp

It would be good if you could report a hazard where there is no data signal then waze send the report as soon as data is available this is very useful where traffic issues occur in poor signal areas

We should be able to backtrack on the road we are on just as we can pan ahead to mark missed hazards or other reports. For example running over road debris unseen won't help if we can't go back and mark the area when we're down the road another 1/4 mile past it.

I agree !
Allowing users to "pin drop" a certain distance along their route would be better than inaccuracy or, in some cases, missing the chance to report it entirely.
Don't want to be messing around with my phone as I pass a cop, or other hazard. I haven't been able to actually use the app to report much because by the time I have Waze up, I'm already too far down the road to report things accurately.
This is a vital feature !

I would be good to attach it to a JUNCTION. So when you have 4/5 streets going into an intersection, and each driver reports one report it's kinda problem. It should be just one.

This would be so useful. I could see a hazard causing numerous roadblocks but my report was useless as I wasn't yet at that road.

When travelling up a hill through a new hazard like river of mud running down I want to report it but I have to wait till i am past the hazard because I'm trying to keep car on the road. Specifying a location when reporting would be nice but Waze should require that you have gone down that route (5 min or less) to avoid false reporting.

I love all the suggestions and comments by:

Juvescent Joys

allow each wazer to specify a

REPORTING LAG

Needed to INCREASE road safety for others by accurately reporting highway patrol or police, or other dangerous objects

Uninstalled waze just now terrible functions

Why the fuck is this not a built in feature as default seems common sense to me.

EVERY time I have seen a cop I haven't used the feature because I'm a mile away by the time I report. Then the report is inaccurate and useless for everyone else. If your worried about people abusing it then only allow someone to report and pin drop something within 1/5mile

I agree. Allowing users to "pin drop" a certain distance along their route would be better than inaccuracy or, in some cases, missing the chance to report it entirely.

I really think Waze is limited intuitively by not offering this feature.

Think about it: There are many times that accidents will close roads, or that you as as driver are able to spontaneously take an alternate route once you see the accident up ahead. In other words, your car may not be traveling through the accident point but you still want to report it.

Not having the ability to report an incident "from afar" results in less reports, which makes the app less accurate.

Hell yes if theirs one thing that aggravates me about this app it's this. It's not only a safety issue as I'm not a fan of using my phone while driving. But also I listen to my police scanner app quite often as well and have heard on numerous occasions fire and rescue in route to the scene of an injury accident somewhere in my city of Omaha Ne and have no way of reporting this please fix

I've often had this problem of wanting to report something I passed, but didn't have time to grab my device and report it. For example, passed a hidden cop today on a busy road, but I was making a right turn 1/4 mile later and by the time I could report the cop, I couldn't report it for the road I turned off of.

For example, I just drove past a hidden police bike and then 2 miles further turned off the dual carriageway. I wanted to be able to report that fact but couldn't put an accurate location on the map. To my mind, this is an essential feature.

I can't type when I'm driving but I want to pull over up the road and make a report.

Agree! This is a SAFETY issue! Often IT'S NOT SAFE to try to report the condition/closure at that exact moment. It's better to pull over to the shoulder/etc. a few hundred feet ahead and then use the screen to report it. But since your app forces the location to be your current location, you're encouraging us to try to do it immediately.

If you are concerned about abuse, then allow the pin to drop within X feet/miles/whatever of current location.

Very similar to this - For ROAD CLOSURES, please don't assume about which direction we want to report. So often, I encounter a closure and have already turned around, or turned in the direction of the detour, before I'm able to find a safe place to stop and report the closure. But when I do that, the Waze client ONLY offers me the direction that I'm facing *now*, which is useless.

Can't agree more. For example - reporting an accident or closed road within visual range. Often I don't report these because I detour and never pass close enough.
This is especially valuable for flooded streets as I'm not going to drive through said flooding to report a road closure :)
