having to click into three different report types, then groups and subgroups just to let other wazers know there’s a car on the shoulder is distracting and takes more attention away from the road than i’d like it to. it’s actually a bit of a deterrent in some ways. i love using waze and i appreciate the contribution others make to my safety as a driver and i’d like to be able to reciprocate, but that can be really hard for me to do when i have to take my eyes off the road for 10 seconds to submit a report.

my idea: show the icons for the top 3 most frequently or recently used Reports, so you can just tap the individual icon instead of having to go into Reports > Type > Specific Report. or maybe allow users to assign the 3 Report “shortcuts” they want to show on their map.

this feature will not only enhance the user experience and geographical accuracy of the Report functionality, but it will also make using Waze much safer, not to mention a LOT more efficient.

for example, i report a hazard/car on the shoulder pretty much any time i drive some where, with Police reporting in close second and construction in third. so ideally, i’d like to have all three Car on shoulder, Police and Construction icons show on the map, so i can just tap it to quickly make the report.
