This. Waze is sometimes running in the background, Nd of I drive past an accident, I'm often a quarter mile down the road before it loads up with a network connection. I'd like the ability to drop that pin in a more accurate location of the hazard/accident.

I think this would be awesome. We have had several cases just recently. I knew of an accident road closure but could only call her, but obviously that did not help your other users in the area. Not being in a metro area, I am sure we do not have as many users.

I cannot believe this was started in 2010 and hasn't even been given any notice by waze. People, vote for this!

Also another example - I listen to tv news in the morning and often they will report an accident that their helicopter has seen but its not on waze yet and would be on my route if I didn't hear about it on the news first. I would like to be able to post it. Or if I see an accident around the corner from my route, etc.

at least allow each wazer to specify a

REPORTING LAG

..to button mashing

as having speed traps PAST real location

is "less than ideal"

This would give Waze a huge boost. So many good reasons to have this:

This morning there is a big accident on a major road (dual-carriage way) near me. Police have closed the road in both directions, diversions set up. I (thankfully) can't get to the location of the accident or even the point where the road is closed, there's no point me hitting the report button where I am now but I know what's going on from reports on the local radio and from text messages from colleagues stuck in the traffic jam! If I could pin point on a map then report the accident / road closure (which we can't do anyway) or traffic jam, that would be a big help to other Wazers currently out on the road.

Reporting a "gas"/petrol station... you pass the station, press the gas prices button, after a while the client reports no station found, ok, so you can do a map update request, but by now you're half a mile or more down the road.

Maybe there's a small but significant hazard on the road you've just passed, you need to be accurate in the reporting location but again, you're several hundred yards past it by the time you hit the report button.

Some people are worried about abuse of this system, maybe limit this feature to people with a minimum number of points or not "newbies" or something.

I think it's a great idea but it could lead to abuse so I will say no.

I hope waze could improve the reporting eg. Speed cam or Invisible police by off routing. I always missed the sweet spot and unable to report that later. Also hope can have short cut of reporting that really short instead by referring to few clicks away

being able to set one's

• reporting handicap

would be less cumbersome. A number of seconds (at travelling speed) to have waze set the report peg that distance back in one's journey

also using Jingle audio blurb would allow for more detail by solo driver -- as few have the IQ or magnipotence to simultaneously execute two manual dexterity tasks (pen clicking test)

that Jingle feature suggestion has numerous excellent waze applications

This feature would be very limiting for those us using iPad, without the ability to use the voice reporting feature. In my case, I reported a traffic accident and (a different) traffic congestion issue, and I was there. However, since I was able to circumvent the issues and continue driving, the typing function was disabled in the app, and I was unable to report the problems until I got home. While I was there, on the roads with the issues, your suggestion would cause you to dismiss my reports as being inaccurate.

Totally agree. Should be common sense. If there is a cop doing radar or something, you don't need to be playing on you phone as you pass by him! Allow users to get to a stop and "drop a pin report" on the location it actually is. Also allow users to delete their own report - in case they placed it in the wrong location or even the wrong type of report.

Agreed! It often takes me a few seconds to get my phone and then hit the report button - by that time, I've already passed the point where there is a speed trap, or a road closed, etc! I don't want to create the event in an inaccurate place - this seems like an obvious fix to implement.

also allow changing after the fact as reporting police I don't have the time to fiddle with extraneous settings

This is also a good one if you are slow to get your phone out and hit the "report" button - you could back the pin down the road a bit to where the report should really be. That could be very important for a speed trap report!

Agreed! Happened three times just today :(

I was about to suggest thesame thing. To avoid mischief, you can put a limit on how far you can move the pin from the original pin location (where your car was). I recommend everyone to vote for this one.

I hope people will want this feature. I think it's really useful :)

It would be a good idea to be able to report problems on another road, if you see them. Currently if you see problems on a road you are not driving on you are unable to let other wazers know.
