Crime Hazards
Add additional hazards for crime, such as: aggressive panhandlers, squeegee boys, people doing wheelies or donuts in the middle of the street, street racing, ect. Most people would like to avoid that activity.

User Reporting - initial and more details
Add an option to email reporting user for more details when creating the report. The long press on report currently gives options for Police, Hazard and Traffic. My suggestion is to add one for 'email me' where the user can provide full details when they are not driving. Navigating to the Report, finding the correct option, before finding the Later option is not safe when you driving.
As editors, there are a lot of reports with minimal detail. Posting a request for the submitter to provide more details rarely gets a response.

Train
I see suggestions for reporting trains, and the responses from Waze are that railroad crossings are now available. However, I would love if we could report when a train is actually there or if Waze was somehow able to detect trains / train schedules and find alternate routes one day. Knowing railroad crossings are helpful, but when there’s a train it could delay ~15 minutes to the route so it would be great to be notified of an active train or be able to report it

A way to report Gas Stations or EV Stations that are out of service or out of gas
Normally during storms, people will stock up on gasoline and stores may run out of gas to sell. Having a feature that allows users to report when gas stations are out of gas or EV stations are out of service on the Waze app would be incredibly useful for drivers. Not only would it save time and frustration by allowing drivers to avoid gas stations that are out of service, but it could also help promote safer driving practices. For instance, if a driver is low on gas and there are no nearby gas stations with available fuel, they may…

Add time for hazard feedback after the hazard has been passed
Sometimes, you only notice the hazard that was reported until after it has been passed. When you pass the hazard, the feedback box immediately disappears, making it difficult to provide feedback to other drivers. Perhaps it can say "Hazard passed" and then give display that the box is soon to time out?

road block reporting on car play
In car play, reporting road block is not possible. To report a road block you will have to disconnect and report through your phone which is 1. Time consuming 2. Inconvenient and most importantly, very dangerous! I don’t understand why this crucial function is not available in car play mode. This is critical in reporting real time and safety!

Report Button/Police Reporting
When I report something the Report button on the bottom right turns to hearts for a second showing 5 points or whatever for reporting but the issue is that I can't quickly report another until that goes away which is particularly annoying when I'm trying to report police in the median who can knab both sides. What I use to do is file my side Police→Hidden/Visible in 2 secs then I'd quickly hit report again and hit Police→Other Side so that the two reports weren't too far off from each other on the map. So getting rid of the hearts…

Increased Detail on Police Vehicle reports
When I report a police vehicle, the map drops a pin where I reported the incident. With the traffic feature, it gives me options: moderate, heavy, and stand still. Sometimes the police vehicle I am reporting is: (1) moving in traffic with me, (2) seen going the opposite direction, (3) seated in a parked location, or (4) just seen in the area. If the pin just drops and stays and the police vehicle is moving with me, it is no longer accurate within seconds. If the police vehicle is going in the opposite direction, that is also true. If you…

Road block
Please add an impassible object blocking road report and once verified by at least 2 different users please have the app route users around the object for 24 to 48 hours so people aren’t turning around in the street. When objects block the road and the waze app keeps sending people down it it creates problems

When reporting police please
When you report police you should be able to have an icon for rbt and rdt (random breath test and drug test) 100% this would have a massive impact on who uses the app

Deer hazard
I see multiple deer along my interstate drive to work early in the mornings. I typically report as a hazard on the road but the next driver removes it because there is no hazard per se on the road. So this is why there's a need to draw attention and make drivers at least aware of deer in the area and to be watchful.

Allow us to create customizable single press shortcut button for hazard reporting etc.
Too many steps to press while driving to report hazard etc can be dangerous. Why not allow users to create a customizable single press shortcut button for reporting car on shoulder or object on road instead of multiple steps of pressing buttons to get to the final issue. ie. not needing to press Hazard and then having to search the type of hazard in the small phone screen while driving. A single shortcut would be much easier. The most commonly used report for me is car on shoulder so why not just allow me to create that single shortcut.

Better Report Road Closure Support
This app is super useful, but today after serious flooding in my area I realized some major downsides... Please make it easier to report road closures!! Once you turn around, you can't report that the road behind you is closed and sometimes you need to move out of the way NOW! I wish I could still report after I've driven away. Also, if a road is local traffic only but fully closed further ahead, I can't report that the road is closed up ahead. Also, add a feature to report how much flooding there is when people report a flooding…

Speed Camera Reports throughout an Average Speed Check Zone
When I’m alerted that i’m in an average speed check zone, I tend to get notified every 20-30 seconds of a camera as part of that zone. It gets repetitive and quite annoying as I know that I need to remain within that speed limit until i’m notified that I have left the average speed check zone. It’s just a suggestion but would it make more sense if speed camera alerts were removed whilst in an average speed check zone?

Larger Closure Range
When you want to add a closure, it only shows the roads infront of your trip. More often then not, you get to the intersection and find out theres a closure that Waze didnt know about, you have cars behind you so you turn a different direction. So when you press on 'Closure', it doesnt let you chose the closure you just passed because it is now behind you.

Police report : choosing the exact location
It is crucial to add a feature that allows users to pinpoint the exact location of police officers on the map. Or to be able to correct the location of the police officer. This increased precision will help drivers easily identify control zones and adjust their speed accordingly.

Add “pedestrians” and “object” to Hazard reports on shoulder.
Add “pedestrian/s to Hazard reports. Often people post warning using “animals”, however, this is quite disrespectful and pedestrian/s are in danger and warning will be great.
Add “Object” to hazard warning. Often branches, trees or other debris on shoulder lane, which are also dangerous.
Thank you!
