Popup messages for multiple road reports
On the way home tonight, Waze alerted me to several road problems ahead (police, stopped vehicles, etc.). The reports were in such close succession (less than a mile apart) that the popup message for the first report was still on screen when the popup message for the second report appeared. Unfortunately, the second popup was on top so I could no longer see any information about the first report. When displaying multiple popup messages simultaneously, Waze should layer them such that the hazard in closest proximity to you is on top, followed by the next closest, and so on. This way, a user can select "thumbs up" or "not there" for the first hazard before dealing with the second one.

Hello, I am giving you this idea, because of something I do not like, or wish to be fixed/arranged.
While I am driving, sometimes I do not like to keep my screen unlocked/shining, I lock it, so the screen is black, blocking the light not to get my attention, or save battery. I am always with a hands-free bluetooth device, but whilst driving with my screen locked, I get a notification on my bluetooth device, but It does ask me in the app, which I must open and click If the obstacle is either there or not, but I cannot instantly unlock it and click it, because of which I sometimes forget to click the pop-up on the app and by that the next obstacle nearby will not be given to me - neither notification, nor pop-up on the app.
I am asking you to fix it, by:
- giving the option to at least hear the next one;
- get up to 2-3, instead of 1, pop-ups;
- after some time, the pop-up to expire (1-2 minutes), after which to be able to get the next obstacle nearby pop-up/notification given in/by the app.I would really appreciate If this could somehow get fixed!
The app is great, but this is one of the little things I do not like. -

Near a city, I find it very aggravating to have mutiple hazards layered with the farthest away on top and no way to move it out of the way. It limits the ability greatly to respond (thumbs up or down). I agree that one solution would be to leave the closest on top; another would be to allow drag and drop.
