Road hazard on median
Add a "median side of road" in addition to the existent "middle of road" and "side of road" options for hazards.
Thanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

Occasionally there is a hazard, such as a stopped vehicle that is in the Median instead of on the shoulder, or outside of the lanes. This is often much more dangerous and it needs to be pointed out.

I am glad to see this badly needed safety feature has been suggested. More than once I have moved over into the left lane to avoid a Vehicle Stopped on Shoulder, only to discover at the last moment that I actually moved closer to the hazzard. Please make this a priority!

Whenever I hear that a car is parked on the shoulder, I start looking at the shoulder, next thing I know, car is parked in the median.

On my trip today there were as many cars in the median as there were on the shoulder. Being able to report a vehicle in the median would be very helpful to drivers.

I have encountered numerous reported road hazards but several have been on the median side rather than the shoulder. A couple of times while driving at night I was very surprised how close I came to them on the median side. Instead of the current "Hazard reported ahead" why can't Waze actually report what the hazard is (because the hazard can be identified in the app, and if it isn't at least where it is, if reported; in the road, shoulder, or median). I consider this a big safety issue and a very badly needed feature.

I agree with this suggestion. This morning I reported a hazard, but the stopped car was on the median side of the interstate. A potentially much more hazardous situation should the car re enter the interstate or a tow truck need to retrieve it.
