Yes, bring back the other side option for reports.

in new version 4.0.0.2 "other side" is available for POLICE and ACCIDENT... but no longer for HAZARD (mentioned in post) also not available for TRAFFIC JAM.

I often posted thinking to help out community and have gotten Thank Yous

please search before posting another request that matches others on here.

there are many other request matching this one. Since the 4.x upgrade on iOS removing the ability to report events on the other side of the road, waze has become completely WORTHLESS. However, THEY ARE PUNISHING those of us who have NOT UPGRADED by not giving us our points for driving and reporting events even though other users can see them and thank us for them. Recently, before i downgraded back to 3.9.x, I was driving and noticed and accident and traffic completely stopped on the other side of the road. I was not able to alert other wazers to the situation because the option was removed from the new 4.x version. There were other wazers en route to that area but none there at the time so i was not able to help them because i was on the current 4.x version. Until it is restored, or they at lest restore our points, i'm staying on v3.9 so I can help other wazers (which used to be the purpose of this app) and will be getting my points through WME.

The "Other Side" button was very helpful when reporting all sorts of things. For instance, something falling off of a truck and landing in the road on a blind corner on the other side of the road... it would be helpful to be able to report this and possibly prevent a life altering accident from happening. Someone in the forums said they thought it was a numbers thing, not enough people used the feature and also suggested it could be a safety thing, meaning I should be paying attention to my side of the road and not noticing things on the "other side". A hazard , accident, animal or car stopped on the shoulder on the other side that can't be reported is at least as dangerous as noticing something in the road 100 yards away and reporting it. Please bring the feature back.

Allow users to add reports to the other side of the road again.

Bring back the other side option for reports.

Espero que vocês gostem da idéia.

Basicamente a ideia é quando for informar o acidente ou qualquer outro evento em uma via especificar qual lado da via está o acidente.
Por exemplo:
Uma via onde tem duas pistas(faixas) no mesmo sentido, existe um acidente nesta via porém o acidente foi no LADO DIREITO da pista e se a pessoa seguir fluxo pela faixa da ESQUERDA terá um trajeto melhor. Qualquer identificação ajudaria bastante até no próprio ícone mesmo onde mostra o acidente. Especificar qual lado!
Obs: Eu falo o lado(faixa) da pista e não o sentido, isso eu sei que já existe!

I drive on lots of two way roads, where a hazard like ice, or animals, or objects on road, can impact traffic in both directions. It would be nice to have the option "Both Sides" added to the "my side", "other side".

Completely agree. A car on shoulder in median (aka center divider) is often more dangerous than on on the side, but there's no way to alert people in the fast lane.

Hello, When entering an even, you have "My Side" and "Other Side" as options. Please add "Center Median" as an option. Why? Because when a cop is in the center median, he's not on my side, and he's not on the other side! He's right in the middle.

From reading the forums, it appears that selecting "other side" when reporting a wreck, speed trap, etc. on a divided highway does NOT give users traveling the opposite direction a warning; instead, it attaches the hazard to the segment on which you're traveling but it would only pop up for a user traveling the wrong way on that one way segment. Enabling this functionality would double the opportunities for timely reports, and make them possible in the case where something is causing a road to be closed and users traveling on the side of the road where the incident occurs can't physically get to the e.g. wreck. Also, a "both sides" option would be useful for something in the median, either a wreck requiring emergency vehicles to be on both sides of the road or a speed trap set up in a crossover (I've often seen these with two cars, parked door to door in opposite directions.)

you should be able to report accidents on the opposite side of the road waiting backups on the opposite side of the roadway
