"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.

I like the idea of adding a left, middle, right lane for objects in road. It would be nice to know if that object in the road is in my lane or not.

This would also be useful at or near intersections where a report affects "All Directions" for major accidents, speed/seatbelt checkpoints (police), vehicle stopped in road, etc.
I have seen instances where other Wazers have driven through an intersection in all four directions, sending four seperate reports, in order to alert Wazers approaching from any direction.

To expand on my prior comment...
i've found a few feature requests related to this but the idea of this request goes beyond the scope of the subject line. Since the 4.x upgrade on iOS removing the ability to report events on the other side of the road, waze has become completely WORTHLESS. However, THEY ARE PUNISHING those of us who have NOT UPGRADED by not giving us our points for driving and reporting events even though other users can see them and thank us for them. Recently, before i downgraded back to 3.9.x, I was driving and noticed and accident and traffic completely stopped on the other side of the road. I was not able to alert other wazers to the situation because the option was removed from the new 4.x version. There were other wazers en route to that area but none there at the time so i was not able to help them because i was on the current 4.x version. Until it is restored, or they at lest restore our points, i'm staying on v3.9 so I can help other wazers (which used to be the purpose of this app) and will be getting my points through WME. -

This needs to be expanded to not just traffic, but all reports that have been limited to only on the side you are traveling on. Many users including myself refuse to upgrade until this useful feature is restored. They do appear to be punishing those of us that have not upgraded by not giving us points for our reports.

Great idea! A vehicle stopped on the left shoulder is a lot different than a vehicle stopped on the right shoulder.

A botton to say on which lane a car is stopped due to an accident or just a car stopped without accident or define on which lane there is a warning (a group of bicycles on the left lane). This helps a lot on streets with 2 or more lanes for the driver to anticipate and move to the other lanes.

Knowing there is an accident ahead is extremely valuable but when you're sitting in a traffic jam due to the accident, and cannot see the accident, it would be very helpful to know how to start maneuvering to minimize my time. I don't really care about what shoulder a stopped vehicle is in. If I pass an accident now I'll jot a note on the report to let others know behind me.

I'm fully agreeing that the 'both lanes' option should be restored, for all the reasons mentioned here (and some I didn't think of). But just for clarity, it does exist - that is, it wasn't taken away - for reporting police. That's stayed the same.

please bring it back. I agree it was one of the most useful reporting options

The latest version, 4.0.0.3, REMOVED this option. PLEASE bring it back. Heavy traffic reports and routing around traffic are now totally useless and unreliable on WAZE. It WAS one of it's best navigation features!!
I'm talking about the ability to report traffic in EITHER DIRECTION. Currently the change reports traffic for BOTH directions ONLY.

The latest update, 4.0.0.3, removed the ability to report traffic on either side of the road. I no longer can rely on traffic reports NOR the routing WAZE gives me. I frequently now see RED roads when MY direction is clear and the other side of the road is not. When WAZE gives me routes that look like they are around traffic I can NO LONGER depend on them to be accurate. When you removed this option to report traffic on either side of the road you trashed the MOST useful function of WAZE. PLEASE BRING IT BACK!

It would be nice to know where was the event. I mean, central or right or left in the way.

Add a feature to indicate what lane an accident occurs in. Related, add a feature to indicate if a lane closure happens, what lane it happened in.

Second this; buttons for corresponding lanes similar to degree of traffic would be helpful.
