"Both lanes" reporting option
Add a "both lanes" option when reporting traffic jams, hazards, and accidents affecting both directions of travel at the same time.
Thanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

When you announce vehicles stopped, state which side of the road (left or right side) so we can change lanes in time safely and avoid them.

Allow drivers to verify, all items on both sides of the road, not just the side you're driving on.

When reporting road kill or object on the road.. report theater it is in.. right left etc.

For hazards and/or police presence, what about adding lanes? Left shoulder, right shoulder, object in center lane.

At this time, a person can report an object, vehicle, or closure on a lane, but we can't let people know which lane.
Please create a feature which allows lane selection via a big graphic, similar to the visual feature that already tells a person which lane to be in to take a turn or exit when there are multiple options. Then those of us who have normal sized and plus sized fingers can accurately choose the lane with the issue.
This way, a person can select which lane is closed or which lane has a vehicle stopped or which lane has an object in it. We can all avoid the danger much sooner and much safer.

Today I was driving on the highway while one lane was closed. Every 20 seconds I got a notification from Waze that the lane was closed (every sight in the road was “reported as an issue” automatically I think). Could this be changed into a continuous visualization which lanes are open or closed (or only one notification per 5 minutes). That be great!

Add the option to indicate which lane the accident or danger is in.
Because I see a hazard warning and could change the lane in advance.
(e.g. danger in lane 1-2-3-4) -

Call it way, when reporting police, you only have 3 options: hidden, visible, in other side. There should be a 4th option Colin police in center median. That way both sides of the road or divided highway can get advanced noticed properly.

When reporting construction or accident, can we please have the option to select if a certain lane is closed (left lane closed ahead, etc). Thanks

Please do. I sometimes turn around just so I can "not there" an expired report.

Please consider an option to identify the lane/ lanes impacted by an accident or hazard. This would allow drivers more time to get into another lane.

Why is it not possible to report obstacles on oncoming lanes? It goes by accident but not by objects on the road

would love the option to choose what side of the road hazards and destinations are. It would be great to change lanes for both reasons!

it would be nice when WAZE reports vehicle on side of the road to know if it is on the left sholder or the right sholder

Right now I only get voice alerts for police when travelling in the same direction as the user who marked the police. Often the cop is able to watch traffic from both directions so it would be nice to be warned when coming from either direction.

Sometimes Police sit on the side of the road or in the median, but are actually doing enforcement in BOTH directions. It would be SUPER useful to get notifications (by user choice) when there are police on the "other" side of the road as they may actually be enforcing both directions.

This capability can also be used when there is an object on the road. It would be nice the be forewarned with lane information.

My state has a lot of construction works ongoing on the road, and I believe a “right/left lane closed” option would be amazing to add for the reporting options, also due to crashes and similar stuff.
Also, I think it would be cool to have a “draw open” feature on a bridge, I drive through one that opens quite frequently and there are countless “heavy/standstill traffic” reports due to this, maybe a hazard type report like the one I just suggested would make it better. -

This is especially needed because Android Auto doesn't let you type or read comments (for a reason). So if someone uses comments to pass this information, I won't see this in my car. Need a built in ability to enter and see this information.

I was thinking it would be a nice feature when reporting an accident to be able to say which lane the accident was blocking. (left / middle/ right) so you could begin to merge sooner.
