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.

please will waze add this... I'm all out of votes, but count this! Our traffic lights are out every day, and even worse when it's raining.

Sometimes traffic lights fail or sometimes they are out due to bad weather. When it does happen your stuck in a line of traffic until everyone figures out the proper protocol. Which is to treat it as a four way stop if it's an intersection. If it happens to be a major intersection it then becomes a slow nightmare waiting for your turn to get across. I would like people to have the ability to report this on the map to other drivers. This would give other drivers the option to avoid the area and take am alternative route or at least be prepared.

Please add an icon for lights out at a 4 way stop. Taking this street can be avoided. Sometimes the police are directing traffic.

Please add easy access button for traffic lights not working. This is the cause of most delays in South Africa and adrica

This should also influence Waze's routing decisions - when a traffic light is out, Waze should reroute users away from it.

It's specially frequent in Brazil during summer rains.

This is a real problem in South Africa especially when it rains as it effects all roads leading into that intersection. This would be a major time saver.

This is a huge issue where I live ... as soon as there is a little trickle of rain - all the traffic lights (we call them robots) go on the blink - causing havoc on our roads.
I try to report them as road hazard "object on road" and describe it as lights not working - but that is time consuming. -

Not a common occurrence around where I live but could be helpful when it does happen. It seems sensible to add this type of hazard.

Add a additional option under "Hazards" for traffic lights not working. This is a very real hazard and also has the effect of creating traffic congestion. With this feature the cause for a traffic jams can be better determined and the start/end point more accurately defined.

Users should be able to report "traffic lights out" at an intersection in the Reports window as this would be very helpful to others.

Please this really is imperative. We don't all live in countries where this gets fixed immediately. Traffic lights can be down in our country for months!
