Enforcement trailer
Germany and parts of Europe experience a whole new kind of speed cameras since a year or so, the so-called "enforcement trailers".
Since two months these are used on the german Autobahn on a regular basis.
The trailers are moved from place to place and stay there for up to two weeks. The places are used recurrent, e.g. there are 40 places in North Rhine Westfalia and 10 trailers, every place get's a trailer once in a while.
Marking them as mobile speed camera is useless, since they always disappear because of the low waze usage in germany.
Marking them as stationary speed camera doesn't make sense as well, since they get removed while there is no trailer present.

The answer is simple but Waze here in Australia seem to be slow on the uptake to change.
The answer is to treat these Trailers differently to the normal Speed Checks.
In Queensland Australia we have the Police Unidirectional Speed Camera, the Transport Department Acusensus Bidirectional Speed Camera and the Transport Department Acusensus Unidirectional Seatbelt/Phone Camera.
If these were acknowledged by Waze and Wazers were able to report them the problem would be solved.
Waze also needs to acknowledge that there are huge areas in Australia with very few Wazers but these areas are being treated the same as the Motorways etc.
Simple solutions are availabe but the problem is getting through to Waze and any action forthcoming.
I hope they take notice of your comments and Good Luck.
