  1. Add ability to report road closures at railroad crossings

    Currently, you are only able to report road closures at intersections. As we all know, the road closures don't only occur at intersections. It would be nice if we could report a road closure at, let's say, for instance, a railroad crossing. Giving us the ability to report road closures at places other than intersections will allow us to plan our route more accurately and avoid us having to learn about time wasting detours the hard way.

  3. Road construction algorithm

  4. Add facility for users to add warnings of potholes in two clicks instead of current four.

    UK roads are plagued with potholes currently. Receiving warnings about them is very helpful - but reporting them is a real fiddle! It involves hitting the 'Report' baloon, then 'Hazard', then 'On road', and finally 'Pothole'.
    No-one should be juggling all that while driving, and yet RECEIVING the warnings is most helpful. Nor can you go back and mark them later. There are too many!
    If the problem isn't such a major issue elsewhere could it just be introduced in the UK?

  6. Report when you stopped driving

    It is difficult to report while driving because the menu is complex. So I wanna report afterwards when I stopped driving: tap on the map and report what was going on there

  7. Voice-enabled user reports

    Allow for voice-enabled user report functionality e.g., “Hey Waze, I see Police” or “Hey Waze, I see a Car (or Animal) on Side of Road”. Minimally, voice interaction would also allow Waze to probe for more descriptive information “Thank you. Are police hidden?”. Allow users to opt into Waze having ongoing access to the microphone on the device, perhaps while the device is in vehicular motion. This would allow Waze to provide a safer reporting experience for its most valuable users on Waze…the people that do the most reporting.

  9. Fewer taps to make a report

    When using CarPlay (or even my phone when I'm the right-side passenger), to report a vehicle stopped on the side of the road I must tap the orange "Report" circle, choose "Hazard," "Shoulder," "Vehicle Stopped." In CarPlay, when driving that takes my eyes from the road at least four times to identify/locate/push the appropriate button to make the report. Rather than spelling out the words for each part of the notice - perhaps readily identifiable icons could be "stacked" under the headings. As with "QWERTY," there are gestures/reports most often used that could be located in priority locations on the…

  10. Mute social notifications

    The new +5 notifications keep interrupting my music and podcasts while driving. There is no setting under push, text, email or reports notifications to turn off the nags. Please let make it clear how to turn off sounds in the app, or at least let us turn off social sounds. Sound is the primary interface to Waze, it is extremely important to keep the signal to noise ratio high... Getting 10 social notifications a minute undermines navigation, alerts and Waze as a whole.

  12. Add the ability to report air patrols

    Add the ability to report air patrols, which is very common in Ohio. It would be good to be aware when this is being used for those times when the patrols start before there is a reported police presence.

  16. PH/ Time based PH for Flood and Landslide

    We have many roads and zones that may have frequent and sudden flooding and landslides. Thus, we would like to request to add support for PH / time-based PH for floods and landslides, just like road closure, which can be added directly by editors in the Waze map editor. For those countries where there's no partner hub and low Waze traffic, it will be easier to add PH directly by editors based on the information obtained from various official sources.

  17. Being able to report closed roads when you are not at it

    We need to be able to report closed roads when we are not staring at it or driving. I hate that I can only report closures when I'm there. If I know the road is closed I should be able to report that from a safe place or after the drive. I get that it needs to be verified, but it seems like we should be able to do that by linking state/county reports.

  18. As a motorcycle user

    Not all motorcycle users have an intercom, and while driving the motorcycle we cannot hear alerts, radars, accidents, police. It would be good if, given these notifications, The entire mobile screen flashes, to visually alert. Dashboard type in MotoGP.

  19. Reply to Waze reports

    To be able to use a voice command to respond to a Waze report - meaning, Waze reports an accident and asks "Is it still there". It is difficult (and possibly dangerous to respond when using Android Auto as this requires manual navigation to respond.

  20. Introduce voice commands to confirm or deny existing reports

    Confirming or denying an existing report throughout the journey could be risky and illegal to be done on the screen while driving, and this is why voice commands for this purpose should be introduced to be safe to reply on reports while driving, in the same way of creating reports using voice commands.
