Direct Buttons on the screen, so you can inform easier and faster about things, they happend very often on your route. For example you gote one for speed control and one for traffic, so you could press this button and must only choose, what kind of speed control it is or you got a long traffic jam on the opposite direction, you can report it easier. Now you have to look precise to find the right button for the report and than its not only one, you have to push the right one and it could be more easier. Thats only my opinion ! Thanks! Marc

YES this is a brilliant idea, I had it to, but glad to vote for it here. 99% of everything I report is car on shoulder and police. It takes 4+ button presses to report this stuff when it should take 1. There is certainly space on the screen for it. Make custom buttons/shortcut bookmarks for frequently reported items or something like that.

Allow single-click traffic reporting by allowing user add their common report icons on front navigation screen. Currently too many clicks to add a report (safely). In my case the most usual reports are Heavy traffic, Standstill, police, minor accident. Would love to be able to simply fast-click these icons on the front navigation screen.

Great app though.

Keep 3 buttons on screen at same time ie police, traffic jam, accident. This will allow 1 tap instead of 2 plus easier to tap on larger iPhone map screen. Very helpful for motorcycle riders - thank you

It is SOOOOOOOOO common to find holes in the road in Mexico city (ANYWHERE, streets, boulevards, avenues, high speed roads, ANYWHERE), so I would like to report EVERYSINGLE DAMN HOLE EVERYSINGLE TIME. I have spent almost 2000 USD on tires in this damn city, and if we can configure just 1 button for these kind of purposes I guess it would be helpful for all wazers.

I would like an icon for the police on the front screen, so that when I'm driving by one, I can do a quick report as I'm usually by myself. I like being able to contribute when I can.

But by the time I click orange circle, then the policeman, then the visible or not or on the other side, I am way past where he was to begin with.

I run waze through my bluetooth speaker and when I am notified I slow down and look for him and will click the not there or thumbs up...

I find that the most occurring need when I use Waze is the need to post a hazard or police notification.
It is currently a like a 5 step process! This is DANGEROUS!!!
By the time you have safely posted a hazard you are a mile or more past it. Often I get frustrated and do not bother even to post it.
The police notification is one of the coolest functions and the hazard notification (especially in road) is one of most helpful.
But if it is hard to use...then people often don't bother.
So:
1. Shortcut to instantly post a hazard
2. Shortcut to instantly post a policeman checking radar.

Why not having a button for potholes?
as option users would choose between service covers, small and large potholes (say small if up to 1 meter long and large anything over 1m)
If not asking for too much, then Waze would report them to either councils or to the various websites available.

One-button reporting would allow fast, safe reporting of the most common hazards without having to navigate menus. Today, reporting a car on the shoulder is a 5-button press navigation - hardly safe at 70 mph. I suggest one quick click, and it is reported.

Option to use spedometer button AS quick report.

Tell your municipality your tax dollars are not well used harassing safe commuters

I often see several reports for a police at the same spot. Instead of just hitting "Thanks" to confirm that there's a police there, people will create a new report just to get the credit/points for it. So I often see 3 or 4 police reports at the same place.
If a Thanks would worth the same amount of points than the actual report, maybe people would stop repeatedly report the same thing.
It's also causing problem when the even is over, Waze only permits one "Not There" report in the same spot. So let's say there's 4 reports for the same event, 4 different drivers would need to hit "Not There" to get rid of it on the map.

instead vote up

Users can draw letter on screen to immediately report hazard. For example user would draw :
P = police
C = construction
V = vehicle stopped
T or H = heavy traffic
t or M = medium traffic

If the hazard is on the other side then user would draw the letter backwards.

Reporting an error currently takes three (or more) clicks. This isn't a problem when you're stuck in the traffic, but when you drive fast on a highway it isn't safe playing with the smartphone.
My idea is to show a generic police button and a generic danger button on the main screen when car speed is over a predefined value (for ex. 40 mph).

User defined buttons on main screen for quick access to functions used most often. E.g. Speed trap reporting, stopped vehicles, etc.

It can be a bit cumbersome and dangerous to have to navigate through the menus to get to a desired item to report. It would be awesome if you could choose a few one-touch items to display directly on the navigation screen.

I was going to post this same suggestion when I found your. I cast 3 votes for this one. Bravo!

I would like to see shortcut buttons under the map to enter user predetermined events. Looking at the map in portrait mode, there can easily add fit a row of button at the bottom of the screen which can be customizable shortcut. I always have the opportunity to enter heavy traffic, hazard on shoulder, and police. But since I have to tap the phone 3 times in order to enter the information. It would take my eyes off the road and it is dangerous, therefore I don't do it. If there is a ON SCREEN shortcut where I only need ONE tap to enter any of my customized event. I would enter more events.
