save lives: hijack hot spot and unsafe or damaged roads
DANGER HOT SPOTS
South Africa is riddled with crime and Waze can literally save hundreds of lives by allowing users to post hot sports at dangerous intersections. Simply being aware of a dangerous intersection will allow people to stop at that light with a safe escape distance. If the intersection gets safer somebody could post as not dangerous anymore
UNSAFE ROADS
Ive had numerous flat tyres from driving over a pothole. Imagine i could post a section of the road as damaged road. Id then be aware that i should be looking out for potholes. In the unlikely occasion that it ever gets fixed somebody could say not there anymore.
DANGER ROADS
Waze recently took me past a very dangerous street at night. Would have been cool if i had an option to avoid it.
I am absolutely certain that every person with a smart phone in south africa would use waze just for the safety benefits.
just ideas.
Loving waze!!! Keep up the good work

It would be good to have a suburb notification that users upvote to mark it as dangerous...1000 votes and then make it an option to avoid?

I think danger on the road is already implemented

I agree with this proposal. I like the hazard-warning. It would be nice if a hijack hotspot is flagged as well.

I agree. Yesterday, waze routing me to a dangerous neighborhood. I had a bad time. There needs to be a warning in advance, to change the route.
