Quick-report presets
The amount of phone interaction required for reporting is a bit onerous while driving. Tap to Report > select category > add optional additional info > send. I often skip reporting altogether to avoid distracting from driving.
I would love to see the ability to have one-touch presets for making reports from the main screen. A single tap to mark & send a report on an accident, hazard, or speedtrap, etc.
User might even be allowed to customize which presets are present and/or include specific text (i.e. "Left lane closed") for frequent events.
We plan to work on Quick-report presets in the near future. In the meantime, make sure you’ve got the latest version of Waze for all the latest features.

pls add a function icon to report speed cameras easier and quicker. There are too many new speed cameras emerging on the street, which are not indicated in the map. The purpose of most cameras is to increase the income of municipal government instead of the traffic management.

Para agilizar o envio de alertas de perigo, a tela inicial já deveria ter esses ícones, por exemplo, buraco, carro parado, polícia, objeto na pista, etc.
E tudo isso de forma configurável !
Conforme a demanda de cada usuário e da realidade de cada região !
Porque até abrir a tela de perigo e encontrar o ícone desejado, já se passaram alguns quilômetros!
Muitos deixam de reportar alguma situação por conta dessa dificuldade, afinal estamos dirigindo !
Presumo que seria uma forma de deixar o aplicativo mais acertivo, com o aumento de usuários que passariam a utilizar esses alertas, pois tudo ficaria mais fácil, rápido e seguro !
E com apenas um toque na tela ! -

It’s oftentimes difficult to dig around and look for that perfect report that describes the situation or oftentimes I just post what I believe to be a critical report. I’d like to suggest Report Favorites. For example, my list would be 4-5 items including, Police Speed Check, Vehicle on Shoulder, Object on Road, Construction on Road, and Accident on Road.

Criar botões personalizáveis de alerta na tela principal, pois leva um tempo até conseguir acessar o menu desejado para alertar. Geralmente quando o alerta é criado, a marcação no mapa fica atrasada...

Adapt the main screen so you can tap alerts in one touch such as warning others about police with just one touch instead of having to navigate through menus?

I want to switch Hazard with Vehicle on Shoulder or Blocked Lane.
Of course, I support that suggestion. -

Short cuts for quick alerts - Police, Car accident. Like the magnifying glass just a small cop car, or crashed car etc... I can't touch my screen i have to go through a lot of steps. Which then i don't bother.

Right now it’s 3 steps to report something ie Police siting. It’s not very safe while driving. It’d be nice to have the icon on the main screen to report common things easier while driving

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.

The majority of states now regulate touching your phone. The ability to report the 3 to 6 most common reports like disabled vehicle, police, pothole, etc with a single touch is really critical. A feature I would gladly purchase. Side note: Waze is an awesome product. Please continue to make it even better with quick single button reporting.

2 or 3 shortcut spaces to customize what report you want to be on you main screen with a Confirmation afterwards

We should be able to organize the report types so it is easier to click certain ones. Also I’d be cool if we could permanently pin certain reposts on the screen so they are quicker to choose for more common reports in our areas

For convenience and driver safety, I'd like to suggest that users be able to set up one (or maybe more) 'favorite' alerts. By far my most common alert is:
Hazard / Shoulder / Vehicle stopped
...and that takes 4 screen touches before it can be sent. Reducing the time that our eyes are off the road is good for everyone. If we could have a customizable pre-programmed alert such as this, I would love the app even more :).

This should be set by the user as to what the perceive is the most common issue.

Have a dedicated icon that is on the map screen
One touch icon to report police (or custom)
Having to scroll to multiple pages is unsafe and may be unlawful in some instances -

A button to indicate a police officer/vehicle is traveling with/in close proximity, and then another to show when they turn off/stop or exit a highway.

This would be huge for Helping keep our eyes on the road.
An idea would be a 6 button visor mount Bluetooth device. Red and green to confirm or deny other people's reports. Blue for cops, yellow for construction, and then other colors for other things. Making buttons remappable would be sweet, and some buttons could have multiple actions. I.e. tap blue for cop, hold blue for sneaky cop.
If Waze made the device themselves, a la Spotify car thing, I would gladly pay $50 for it, so my eyes stay on the road.

Having a couple of favorites buttons on the map screen will eliminate distracted driving by doing away with having to go to other screens to send reports. I only generally use police reported and vehicle on shoulder of road. I wish these were Fave buttons I could just one-touch on the main screen.

Add an shortcut for the top 1 or 2 kind of report of the user (in my case would be report of potholes) to be in the corner, where the icon of spotify appears now.
This in order to not have to navigate throught several menus in order to report one.
Spotify icon can be hidden under the config menu, or my waze menu. -

I suggest to add the following to the first screen to make it easier to report while driving: car stalled, accident, dangerous condition.
