Disable automatic Update Request route reporting on higher level roads.
Under certain circumstances, Waze seems to automatically submit automatic reports - but there seem to be too many of them (big time cost for editors that process and respond to URs following up for feedback, generally no response from the "reporter" because they didn't report anything themselves).
This specific request is to disable "Incorrect route", "Incorrect turn" or other similar problems on higher-level divided roads (Motorway, Major Highway, Minor Highway). When we have roadworks, the roads authority will often set up contraflow lanes on the opposing direction's roadway. This seems to produce numerous automated reports that have no value (because it isn't a routing problem, the work doesn't meet the criteria for a closure, and altering the map to show the segments being used as two-way temporarily would be inappropriate).

A related circumstance is where navigation is going through a lengthy tunnel (at the same level of road - Minor Highway or above); we get lots of Update Requests of type "Incorrect route", "Missing road" or "General error" that appear to be automated, because we rarely get any follow-on response from the supposed reporter. These would be in circumstances where either the tunnel doesn't have Waze Beacons, the Beacons aren't working, or the driver is unable to access the signals from the Beacons.
