yes this idea super nice but i run out of votes T_T

This idea seems so obviously valuable ... Cannot imagine how this suggestion could be out there 2years and has so few votes? Hoping the Waze developers aren't limiting development to only the highest-ranking items.

Quick report buttons were my first thought as a new user. Color-code them, but make them user-programmable. I'd report hazards, police, accidents more often.

Integrating gesture as well would be helpful. For example, press button to report a hazard, then swipe left or right to indicate which side it is on, and/or swipe UP to indicate it is on the lanes moving in your same direction, or swipe DOWN to indicate it is related to the lanes moving in the opposite direction. A large pop-up could serve to remind you the meaning of the swipe gestures, but this would quickly become intuitive after a couple of uses.

I ride a motorcycle with a handlebar mounted iPhone to use Waze for Navigation and observing road conditions. It would be awesome to have a quick report for 1) speed trap reporting and 2) object on road - which is critical to motorcyclists. I hope they consider this suggestion.

The report screen UI utilizes easy to use buttons at the first and second levels. For those that require more detail, like weather and other road hazards, the options are presented as stacked lines of text. These should be converted to buttons as well so they are easier to select and are consistent with the rest of the UI.

Would love this also. There are a couple of these requests but worded differently. Would be nice to collapse into the one with the most votes (which I think is this one).

It would be very nice if this were customization via the settings menu. This would allow a user to select which actions they wanted for "quick reports". I suspect users in different locations/situations have different types of reports they use most often.

I was thinking about the same and I am happy that this idea is already logged. Please implement this soon it will help us, community of traffic reporters, quite a lot (which will make this app to all much more attractive with more critical updates).

I thought about this over the weekend. My idea was really light colored buttons (see thru) over the map for reporting major events without having to go into another menu

Another idea: allow me to record a gesture to report. e.g. I might draw a 'P' on the screen to report police, 'T' for traffic and 'S' for something on the shoulder. The user should be able to choose which items to add gestures for and record their own gestures (I believe the Android API has a gesture recording function, and I'd imagine IOS would have something similar). For those that require additional input, extra taps (e.g. 1 for medium traffic, 2 for heavy and 3 for standstill). Voice confirmation would provide feedback, with an option to cancel in case you screwed up. In that case there would ideally be the option to retry, with the position being saved as the position of the original attempt.

I probably miss reporting 75% of the hazards I see due to the complexity of the interface.

I also agree 100%.
I don't report many Police Traps because it take too long to get to the proper screen and I sure don't want to be pressing lots of buttons on my phone while driving right past a cop!

If it was just a single "Report Police" with the option to add more details (by voice!!), I'd use it most everyday.

I agree 110%. Make 3 buttons, a blue, red, and black, large enough you can touch them while driving. Blue for police, red for accident/ emergency vehicles, black for traffic jam. I won't report with the current set-up because I refuse to endanger myself or other drivers.
