Suggestion to add 'vehicle stopped in lane' in the 'hazard on road' option.
I often encounter vehicles stopped in the lane on the interstate as well as the surface streets. It would be helpful to have an option to report that hazard just as you can report a vehicle stopped on the side of the road. This would definitely help drivers so that they are aware and prepared for that hazard.
Great news! The option to report a stalled vehicle is now available in Waze. Install the latest app version to check it out.

Posted this same comment on another similar thread, but....
Twice today, I would've like to have reported a vehicle stopped in the actual roadway... One was a broken down car, the other was a broken down bus. Each fully blocked a lane. I reported one as "object on road" and the other as "vehicle stopped on shoulder"... Neither of which really qualify, nor properly warn approaching drivers.
We definitely need a "lane blocked" by a stopped vehicle option.
In my short time on waze... This has come up no less than six times... And most of the time I don't report it, because there's no apropos way to alert other drivers.
***might also be a good idea to have a "lane blocked" option for construction... As opposed to a more vague "construction in road" designation. There are many long term construction areas that are in the actual roadway, but suddenly block a lane for a shorter period of time that may surprise drivers used to the construction zone.

that already exists at least on the Android version, Report - Hazard - On Road - Vehicle stopped on road. I actually just used it today... if it doesn't exist in iOS then it should!

I've looked for a way to let other users know that there is a vehicle stopped IN a lane. There is a "Vehicle stopped on shoulder" and an "Accident" option, but nothing for what I'm talking about.

Allow users to suggest new items for road hazards. For example, why when i pust an on-road hazard, a vehicle isn't one of them? A vehicle stopped ON the road is a very common thing, instead i have to call it an object on the road which is way less descriptive.
Perhaps add some localization. For example, in minnesota, a falling boulder on the road isn't as common as it is in Colorado. So maybe add more categories, but weight by region?

There should be a hazard notification for a vehicle stopped on the road not just on the shoulder.

Add an item to allow to show a Stalled Vehicle in a multi-lane road.

Some hazard types seem to be missing from the pop up menus; best example I have found is a vehicle stopped on the road - there is currently only the option for on the shoulder. If I'm stationary in traffic I can log as an obstruction and comment but this isn't always practical. It would be good to be able to suggest a new hazard on the fly for approval and subsequent addition by other Wazers or preloaded comments with a favourites menu on my client .

On Road Hazards options: please add an option to say "Vehicle breakdown / stopped"

You need a category for a car stopped ON THE ROAD. The only category currently is vehicle stopped on the shoulder.

Agree!! Car stopped on road is a common hazard.

You need to add a feature that allows someone to report a vehicle stalled in the roadway. As it stands now, you can only report a vehicle on the shoulder or an object on the roadway. When I see a car stopped in the middle of the freeway with the hood up, it would be nice to have a way to report that correctly.

the only existing input is Car stop on shoulder.
No option for a Car Stopped on Road.
