"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.

There is no need to add attribute for each segment about lanes count, this is nearly impossible indeed. I can be a digit or abstract lane options like "Left, Middle, Right, Exit, Shoulder" selected/entered/voted by Wazers when sending or confirming reports.

I use comments in the reports to tell which lane is affected. It would be safer to just tap "left", " middle", "right" or any combination of the above-listed. At least these three options. The exact number of lane will require each segment to have the number of lanes attribute. This in turn would require editors to add this attribute to every single segment which is nearly impossible.

My only suggestion is to add Left or Right for things like vehicle on shoulder, etc.

If not already mentioned, on multi lane roads ie: Syd Harbour Bridge, WHICH LANE IS OBSTRUCTED!

Hello, the border crossing I pass everyday has 2 lanes in each direction. However, for sheer fun, agents maning the border randomly decide to open or close the traffic for cars on the 2nd lane - and the only sign that the 2nd lane is open isn't visible from far away. So cars are backed up on a long line, and it's only when you reach the border post that you realize the 2nd lane was open and you could have gone through much more quickly. It would be useful to be able to quickly flag that the 2nd lane is open.

While yes, there is another similar suggestion. This one is different. "left 2 lanes slow due to crash" "crash in right lane ahead" "heavy traffic in center lane" "left lane merges right" something like this would be helpful during rush hour. There have been many times where I've gotten stuck in the far left of 5 lanes due to a crash. And the lanes to the right are going faster.

Arrow above the Icons (Right / Left or Center )

Great idea. Should have separate button for traffic accident and when clicking on it, an icon pops up showing traffic lanes (say 3 lanes on highway, and sides, as applicable), saying, Indicate lane, with red car-buttons in each lane. When clicked, other Waze users see icon indicating accident and lane; can confirm or correct icon (maybe, was 2 lane accident, but cleared 1 lane).

It would be great to have a center option when reporting police. This way both sides of the road would issue a warning when there is police in the center of the roadway.

In addition to specifying a lane, there should be an option to indicate which part of the lane: left, middle, right.
Knowing there's a pothole ahead is helpful but by the time it's visible, especially in the dark, it's often too late to adjust your lane, or even position in the lane. -

If adding this feature please do not forget to add it to the car play interface as well. Waze totally forgot to add the second step when doing reports (this side, other side).

Being able to add lanes to existing potholes with just letters. L/M/R.

You should have option to post which lane is blocked by accident or debris

Yes please. We have too many unmarked Surprise Merges. Drivers deserve these warnings so they can be safe.

I’m constantly see that drivers, so do I, add comment to car accident, they point which lanes are busy by cars.
Maybe you can add the native way to point in which lane accident?
It will be much easier to point in this case. -

This is a great idea - Especially on single carriage way roads where something on one side (roadworks for example) will affect both carriageways and directions of travel. Less so on dual carriageways etc but for town roads and single carriageways this is a great idea.

Hi. Do you guys take suggestions? How about more useful alerts...example...instead of ‘watch out, car on shoulder’, it would be much more useful to hear ‘car on left (or right) shoulder ahead’. We will assume the ‘watch out’ part. We need to know which side, especially with the ‘move over’ law in Florida!
Thank you!
