Wazer message notifications (i.e. private messages) need to be more visible to be effective
In the Past few days I've "private messaged" wazers who were ahead of me on a route to find out about traffic conditions or a slow downs. These messages went unanswered. I didn't think anything of it at the time. This morning on the way into work I just happened to go to "My Waze" to view my ranking... and saw that I had a Private Message from another wazer- from 10 days ago - and never knew it. The message was basically the same as what mine had been. -- I told you all that to tell you this: If we're going to have the private message option at all, we need to know when we get them. A pop up icon message notification at the bottom of the app would be perfect, or if the Menu icon in the lower left corner of the map had a "flag" on it of some sort when we receive a private message to let us know. What ever notification currently exists- isn't working

Dear Waze/
I’d like to suggest you take Ridge Route Road in Castaic, CA off of any detour maps you have. This is a very dangerous road and also a way around when The Grapevine is closed (I-5) bringing massive traffic AND big rigs up our residential road and on to the treacherous, unlit, curvy cliffs Ridge Route. I don’t believe other map apps give the Ridge Route option. Tonight the pass is close for snow, it’s icy and 32 degrees. I fear for the semi’s that may get stuck up there. (No turn around space either).
Thank you for considering my suggestion. -

It's also useful to the editors community. Most of the times, we need more information about the URs and Wazers never replie to our questions. Neither if we try several times.

I would really like the option that a reported incident has cleared and or poilice are gone from spot reported. This way users can inform road changes. I constantly look for reported problems that are no longer there then I chould report the changes to Waze users.
