Allow the ability to specify the location of a report.
When reporting an issue, crash, traffic jam, fire, Police activity, the system only gives you the option to report on the road you are on. So for example, if you are at an interchange where you can see the activity on a highway or interstate, but you are not on that road, you can't actually report it properly. Maybe it can be set up that you make a report, and like in google maps, you have a pin dropped on the map that you can move to the correct location, if where you are is not the location of the activity. Example: look at Cromwell Park Drive, Glen Burnie, MD on google maps. You will see that there is an interchange where I-97 passes by. You can see the activity on the highway, even if you are not on it.

I want to log something from another location. I can't and won't log an accident or a cop at the time while driving. After I get parked I want to log it. So I refuse to use this app.

It would be nice in a future release if you could give the user the ability to input an event (ex. Police sighting or road closure) from not in traffic in real time.
Drivers are not always able to tap through the menu and input detailed info during their commute.

I will never understand why Waze wants us to play with our phones while we drive! The most irritating is that you can't report map issues u less you are moving! This needs to be done parked.

Also, allow people to not only thumbs up a hazard but also adjust its position.

There should be an option to go back and report something along your route because while I'm driving, it's not possible to do that all the time.

Algunas veces no es posible marcar un sitio que presenta un incidente, ya sea por la necesidad de prestar atención al tránsito como porque dicho incidente nos impide acercarnos al sitio en cuestión.
Debería ser posible agregar en el mapa los detalles de la alerta, una vez que ya no se está conduciendo. Esto implica que no debe importar el estado o indicación que dé el GPS del móvil. (Lo he intentado mediante el “editor de mapa”, pero mi nivel -1- no me permite hacerlo)Sometimes it is not possible to mark a site that has an incident, either because of the need to pay attention to traffic or because that incident prevents us from approaching the site in question.
It should be possible to add the alert details on the map once it is no longer being driven. This implies that you should not import the status or indication given by the GPS of the mobile. (I've tried it by the "map editor", but my level -1- does not allow me to do it) -

Buenos días,
Seria posible ádicionar un comando que permita colocar iconos (policía, accidentes y demas), sin necesidad de geo localizador automatico, pues las veces se desea colocar una alerta pero entre accionar los comandos y la velocidad del vehículo en el que nos transportamos, perdemos la precisión de ubicación de la alerta.
Dese ya muchas gracias por la atención.
Muy buena aplicación y muy útil.
Atte.

Have a report(like a press article), about accidents encountered on our trip, once engine off
the goal is to don't slow the traffic nearly the accident zone by curious people -

Using the app we receive on-screen reports on police, traffic jam, radar and so on. We can dismiss the indication while the report is on screen, but once it closes, all we can do is thank or comment the indication.
The problem is that when there are many indications close to one another in your rout, many times you have not yet arrived to the place to be sure that the indication is no longer useful (when the parked car has already left, for example) and you receive another report. In cases like that you are no longer allowed to indicate the changes in the situation. -

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.

Allow users to contribute without necessarily being at the coordinates informing closed streets, periodic events.
Carnival in Brazil with some streets can be closed. The city of Rio de Janeiro adopts Waze and report in Waze when great events works, but the user can contribute in a more limited platform in the mobile client, without using the full map editor.
Events are common as street fairs, marched, parties, rallies, strikes...

Sometimes you write an address but you know that the indicator is in other number of the same street. It would be nice if you can move the indicator to the correct place as in Google Maps

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.
