Voice command reports
Sending reports using short voice commands. For example: "waze danger car side of the road"
Great news! Reporting a vehicle on the side of the road using voice is now available in Waze. Install the latest app version to check it out.

Provide a wireless or voice interface/ add in device? to Waze to enable reporting of hazards including police with having to manually interface with my phone, taking my eyes off the road.

Even if it were legal, it is very dangerous to report something by touching the screen. You currently cannot search an address while driving, why should adding a report be possible?

Unfortunately, I for one can not let go of the steering wheel to comment on a hazard on the road, police visible or hidden, car stopped on shoulder. if you can create a voice activated commands such as " yes police is visible" ,"yes car on shoulder", "yes there is heavy traffic" or something along those lines I would be more than happy to alert my fellow drives of such things.
Thank you for helping out the handicap people out there

Use voice to send all the reports. Use "magic" word (ex: waze) to activate feature not waving hands in front of device.
Waze report heavy traffic
Waze report vehicle stopped on road
Waze report pothole
Waze report visible police
Etc etc -

One thing that would make waze even better is hands free reporting. When I'm driving down the road I don't have time to look down at my phone and report a pot hole, traffic, or even that sneaky cop. It would help tremendously if I could click a button and speak into my phone and report a problem on the road.

On Report under Traffic add a Stop Go or Start option for traffic that is stopping and starting on a route, This would allow users to report traffic that is moving but heavy.

I think you should have a picture of road side rests to.alert travelers. It would be helpful especially if one is closed down and you can see ahead of time how far the next one is

When using hands free more times than not it is unresponsive it can't hear the command. It doesn't matter if using speaker, bluetooth, or hard wire headset. Very frustrating. Would like the hands free to be more reliable, or trainable.

Waze is the best app for everything you need to drive safe on the road, it's the best! but I was thinking of a good idea for posting stuff like police, traffic, instead of typing it with your hands (what is not safe sometimes), you should post it with your voice and it should come up on the screen like: "there's is cop on the road" something like that thanks so much!

Reporting police traps and even confirming would be better if it could be done by voice.

Currently the traffic jam icons clutter the screen. Suggest using the traffic jam reports to color code the roads (Red=standstill, Orange=Heavy, Yellow=Moderate) and DON'T show the individual traffic reports. This will make the screen much easier to read

I would like hazards to require a voice response for confirmation, e.g. if Waze reports a hazard, once I have passed the reported location, as me for a yes or no on if hazard was present. That way you will be able to remove hazards that are no longer there, faster. I get way to many false or no longer valid reports of police and vehicle stopped on shoulder, and when driving you need to voice respond, plus the dialog box disappears.

Map markers should indicate what they are there for without having to click on them. For example, Heavy traffic could be indicated by three cars on the marker, light traffic by one, and standstill by five. Hazards could also be displayed with a cone for construction, clouds with rain, snow, etc.

I would like to be able to hit my Bluetooth headset to initiate the activation for voice commands rather than having to reach for the phone that I have mounted on the windshield. It would be a lot safer and not so obvious when reporting a speed trap or camera, especially if police are around.
