Dear Waze Support Team,

I would like to suggest a small but potentially very useful improvement to the hazard reporting feature in the Waze app.

I have noticed that users frequently report a lane as being closed (left lane closed / right lane closed), even though, in many cases, the actual situation is simply a lane narrowing or roadworks. In my opinion, this is largely due to the way the reporting menu is currently structured.

When users want to report a hazard, the first option presented is "Lane Closed". To select other types of road hazards, users have to navigate one level deeper into the menu. I suspect that many users simply select the first available option without exploring the additional categories.

This can lead to inaccurate reports and potentially confuse other drivers who rely on Waze for up-to-date traffic information.

I would therefore like to suggest one of the following improvements:

1. Add a more prominent reporting option such as "Lane Narrowing" or "Roadworks" directly to the first level of the hazard reporting menu.
2. Alternatively, move the "Lane Closed" option one level deeper, making other, more general road hazard categories easier to access.

The aim would be to encourage users to select the most accurate description of the actual road situation, thereby improving the overall quality and reliability of Waze traffic reports.

I believe this relatively simple adjustment could help reduce incorrect lane closure reports and make Waze even more useful for the entire community.

Thank you for taking the time to consider this suggestion. I hope you will find it worth looking into.

Best regards
Stefan
