Create a Report category for "Faulty Traffic Lights"
Traffic lights are a major cause of traffic delays when out. Currently there is no way to report this specific problem.
Great news! The option to report the Traffic Lights that are out is now available in Waze. Install the latest app version to check it out.

Dead robots are a huge concern in causing major traffic delays/hazards in Johannesburg South Africa. Currently we use "Hazard" and then have to manually type "Robot Faulty". Problem is you cannot type while driving. Would be nice to have a "one touch" icon for faulty robots.

I thought your improvements are applied worldwide... This option is not available in the Dominican Republic! We need it!

Broken/off traffic lights really needs to be an option in Android Auto, it's a much safer way to report the issue than using your phone.

על מנת למנוע תאונות דרכים אני מציע שבצמתים בין עירוניים שאין בה רמזורים או מעגלי תנועה שהמערכת תתריע על תמרור " עצור " או זכות קדימה ( משולש ). הדבר חשוב במיוחד בכבישים חשוכים שאין בהם תאורה בלילה.

The ability to report flashing lights would be great. With a heads up from Waze I could find an alternate route. Even better would be where Waze uses this report to reroute wazers.

Absolutely great idea

Adding here to support the suggestion. Johannesburg has an epidemic of faulty traffic lights. It would be useful to be able to report lights that are (a) not working at all, (b) flashing red (so, in theory, equivalent to a 4-way stop), or (c) faulty in some other way, for part of the cycle (e.g. one colour not working, or turning arrow not working)

Entered here to suggest the same thing. Traffic lights out in an important crossing can totally ruin the traffic!!!

In South Africa we experience traffic lights outage on a daily basis due to power outage or cable theft or traffic lights are faulty. I would like to know in advance which traffic lights are off and would like to report traffic lights that are off. This will require street name to be effective.

This idea has been around for too long...can we please get this implemented? I came across it multiple times this morning.

This is a very important one, as when you are driving you can't specify which hazard this is, and having a traffic light out of order can rely delay reaching your destination!

I note that the suggestion was initially posted in 2012!!! And still no response. Faulty traffic lights remains is major problem/concern in South Africa, and almost certainly determines which route is to be chosen on any given day.
All of the previous posts are wholeheartedly supported.
PLEASE add this function to whole Application.
Thnx.

As editors, we frequently get URs reporting malfunctioning lights.
Okay, thanks. I can't do anything about a problem with a light that you drove through 4 days ago.Some people believe that government agencies use Waze to find problems.

this would be awesome! after storms we always have tons of them out and they really hurt the traffic, with this you could see why!

Ajude a desviar e a informar aos usuários e as engenharias de tráfego estes problemas...Assim que iniciar as chuvas vai ser um terror.

True !
It's a big cause of traffic and need their own option to show, also, on TrafficJam Reports at Twitter... ;-) -

In larger cities can be a huge problem. Nice to know when traffic signals are out/not working properly so one can reroute.
