Please bring back REPORT ON THE OTHER SIDE OF TGE ROAD. Many unreported & would help others.
Thank you for your suggestion!
This suggestion will not be implemented for the time being. Adding more and more options to reporting, especially for less popular types of reports such as other side which will also require another window/card, is not something we are aiming for at the moment. Please be aware that other side reporting is already available by voice using the Google Assistant! We believe investing in voice can create essentially a better and more scalable experience and we hope to bring it to more languages soon.
Stay tuned for more features and updates on Waze’s social pages on Facebook and Instagram.

Bring something back that actually works to replace the “other side” feature that was eliminated with the most tecent update. This feature was incredibly helpful and beneficial on road trips. Passengers/copilots can mark the sources of traffic (such as an accident that completely closes all southbound lanes of the interstate) And can provide notification and information to travelers who are sitting backed up 20 miles north of the incident only seeing notification of “heavy” or “standstill traffic”. Having the ability to indicate accidents or traffic or hazards allow people like me to notify thousands of frustrated travelers that an accident has closed the interstate and that is the cause of their “standstill” or “heavy traffic” and even to provide a warning to those that have not yet come upon the backed up traffic. This feature can really help wazers use Waze in the ways that it was created to work, by one person helping another to make traveling by car easier and more efficiently. If im a passenger, and i see that the other side of the freeway is all backed up, or i see a bad crash, or i see a mattress fly off the roof of a minivan why restrict me from posting it where it will alert the drivers that will be impacted by the hazard I’ve just passed on their side of the road??!! Please have the “UH-OH” pop-up show up and confirm that i am the passenger and not the driver when posting alerts. But I reiterate, as do SO many other requests on this space, PLEASE provide the capability to post alerts for “OTHER SIDE” for TRAFFIC, and HAZARD. Please consider providing passengers the abulity to post “OTHER SIDE” alerts for ROAD CLOSURE on a temporary basis due to traffic accidents, temporary/nightly lane closures, and/or local construction due to flooded out roads and downed bridges.
