"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.

. If you could please suggest a way to be notified if Police are ahead for both directions of travel? Many time when you report police ahead it only notifies you if you headed in the direction it was reported. Most times Police are watching both directions of travel!

It would be helpful to be able to identify a specific lane closure right, middle, or left lane..

Things such as fog or rain almost always apply to both directions, it makes little sense to select a lane in those cases.

specially with Police!!! just because they are on one side does not mean they aint looking at both sides!

Sometime cars are stopped in the middle of a lane. The only option is car stopped on shoulder.
Sometimes road construction is in the shoulder. The only option is in the lane.
Would be nice to be able to report which lane or which shoulder as well.

Completely agree! It would also be especially useful for police traps. Around here they like to sit in the grass median measuring speed from both directions.

well, could be. Just not necessary. It works ok with one direction only for me

Rob commented
a very sensible and useful suggestion, a third tap of the my lane/other lane button should toggle both lanes

Having to report twice (hazards, speed cameras) just to have warning in both directions makes no sense!!
Both directions should be the default option! It's the more common use case.

• ALL LANES
• Which lanemost roads around here are more than two lanes
create special category for carpool lane(s)

Juvescent Joys commented
those would be excellent additional buttons, plus "bridge" with above/below modifier
needs to factor in delay of reporting feature to protect others from municipal abuse
search also : moving vs stationary

This is especially needed for the reports on the police. On most roads in Russia police stop drivers who travel in both directions.

Which shoulder the hazard (left or right) is on would be greatly beneficial. Ran in to that issue multiple times. I don't usually have time to type or read a detailed description and if the voice prompt said, "Watch out, car stopped on left shoulder ahead", that would be very useful and enhance safety for both reporting and driving.

The icons clustered ahead of me do not indicate if they are in my lane/direction of travel or not. The icons could have a simple visual cue:
Instead of:
(x)
\/
They could look like: (right lane)
(x)
\/>
or (left lane)
(x)

Completely agree with all comments below... Speed cameras is another one, in the UK - motorway Speed cameras are very often mirrored both directions. In all cases, by the time the report has been made for one direction, you are too far away to accurately report the other.

On the iphone client, when you report a hazard, you can enter a detailed text description.
It also has a 'my lane/other lane' button. -

Other than a 2 lane highway most all other highways have 2 shoulders and 3 ,4 or 5 lanes. When reporting hazzard the option of which shoulder ( right or left)could be a better alert than just "shoulder". Also road work or road crew should be added as to what type of hazzard on shoulder. Also with accidents or debris on highway the ability to say left lane, middle lane 2 right lanes etc could warn Wazers ahead of time so they could avoid the reported shoulder or lane hazzard. The other evening traveling Rt 95 there was a ladder in both the left lane and lane next to it. I did not know how to or didnt have the option to report which lanes. I was able to go off on the shoulder to avoid it. Traffic behind me was very heavy and traveling at 70 to 80 mph.
Through my rear view mirror I could see the car in left lane swerved around it but the next lane could not swerve in either direction thus hitting the ladder and then a chain reaction of cars trying to avoid yet hitting other vehicles around them. to recap options of right or left shoulder and right left or middle lanes would be an asset to alert wazers
