I had a problem trying to get home during a bad flood event. There were a lot of closed roads which Waze tried to send me down and eventually I got the “Too many reports” message (which I assume is to avoid abuse), so I wasn’t able to map a route home as Waze still tried to direct me through closed roads.
To avoid this, when a report limit is hit, why not allow reports to be made that are only visible to me?
That way I would still be able to map a route that works and there’s still a limit to prevent abuse.
