Worry about all those lives lost in area where street flood and people don't see how much water is on street (City could also post warning) to many people lose lives each year underoverpass

Search in the box to the right for "New Report options", that suggestion is in the top ones right now. But I don't think you will get it this week.
Maybe also vote for "Please provide an option to turn off the "car stopped on shoulder" warning.", it would be nice to be able to mute the warnings when you want to.

Maybe add to this one: https://waze.uservoice.com/forums/59223-waze-suggestion-box/suggestions/2549196-new-report-options which already has a higher vote.
And maybe also this one https://waze.uservoice.com/forums/59223-waze-suggestion-box/suggestions/3559810-please-provide-an-option-to-turn-off-the-car-stop ... it would be nice to switch off these warnings if the user wants it.
But I doubt it's going to happen/be implemented this week.

When a street, intersection, underpass, etc is impassible due to high water or flooding it could be reported as a high water warning. Like the construction warning this would need to extend along a road and possibly be multidirectional (like at an intersection). A heads up notification that your normal route home has high water reported would be useful to let you know if you need to hurry up and get home before the water rises too much to get through. Thanks!

i look at the map on waze.com com for a live look at what is going on. i had a terrible commute in and i'm trying to figure out the best route. when i entered the start and end destinations from my commute home, TWO (2) of the routes given are going through roads that are clearly marked CLOSED due to high water/flooding. AAAARRRGGGHHHHH!

Houston, TX just went through another massive flooding event. It would be very helpful to show where roads are blocked by water so people can avoid the area. This could help prevent people from being trapped by the rising flood waters which could save their car and in some cases their life.

Será muito bom. Aqui no MS tem muito lugar que necessita isso. Estamos no Pantanal

Add to map places where there is flooding possibility. These places should appear on the map as warning if app receive any alert near of 10 km about climate risk or flooding, and if confirmed by user on app, change the routing as already made.
Support: The flodding areas were reported by some regions like Sao Paulo city(http://noticias.uol.com.br/cotidiano/ultimas-noticias/2013/11/22/sao-paulo-tera-sinalizacao-com-aviso-sobre-locais-de-enchentes-neste-verao.htm) and related on reliable sources like GeoSampa.
This update was also reported by other users but with other ideas (https://waze.uservoice.com/search?filter=ideas&query=alagamento).Adicionar ao mapa locais onde há possibilidade de alagamento. Esses locais devem aparecer no mapa como aviso em caso de alertas próximos 10 km sobre risco climático ou demais alagamentos, e em caso de confirmação pelo app, alterar o roteamento.
Material suporte: As áreas sujeitas a alagamento foram divulgadas por algumas prefeituras a exemplo de São Paulo (http://noticias.uol.com.br/cotidiano/ultimas-noticias/2013/11/22/sao-paulo-tera-sinalizacao-com-aviso-sobre-locais-de-enchentes-neste-verao.htm) e constam em fontes confiáveis como o GeoSampa.
Essa inclusão é relatada também por outros usuários em conjunto com outras idéias (https://waze.uservoice.com/search?filter=ideas&query=alagamento). -

Due to local flooding one of the roads I frequently take is closed. However, even though I mark the closure Waze doesn't "remember" 8 hours later and makes it impossible to plan a route back. The flooded road is near my destination. Waze should be smarter about "opening" flooded roads until there is a regular amount of traffic one them or at least allow me to mark a road along my route as "don't route me here".
Ideally Waze would respect state department of highway road closures, but this would be hard as there is no standard and the sites are often hours out of date. -

Agree with need for warnings for ice or flooding on road!

Hi Im from Manila in the philippines. Please include floods as an option in your Hazard report since we often experience flooded streets!

With the arrival if Spring some areas like mine are prone to street flooding or in some cases landslides. We already have the ability to report when a street is closed but I would like to add to it the ability to report street flooding, landslide or sinkhole, or emergency shut down due to authorized vehicles blocking off street for emergency response such as fire and police activity. In light of suck events in Boston with the 9 alarm fire and the bombings to the landslides in California and the street flooding from the Spring thunderstorm. Reporting road conditions in these situations would be very helpful.

I agree. We need an option to report a flooded road and ice just like the hazard options :)

So much rain, so many roads flooded. A Flood warning is a much needed hazard warning addition, as to is Ice on the road.
