Multiple nearby incidents
Waze does not allow for reporting of multiple incidents of the same type in a short distance. If I report a car on the shoulder for example (or if there is already an existing report of said car) and I go to report a second one, if I'm still close enough to the first report it will limp them together. I feel like there should be a pop up saying "there is already report of a car on the shoulder in this area. Is this the same incident or are you reporting a new one?" And then allow me to…

Botones de acceso directo a Reportes
Sería necesario botones de acceso directo en la pantalla principal a Reportes ya que se pierde mucha atención al tránsito y se hace difícil buscar la correcta. La mayor parte de la navegación es por audio.

Fix Assistant Integration
Hey, does your programming dept. have school credentials from ECPI instead of MIT? What's the hold up with fixing the location handshake between Waze and Google Assistant? You DO realize that OS 13 is being released by the end of the year. Let me guess, you're hoping that will fix the problem so your incompetence will fade into history! I've been back and forth with CS for MONTHS and have not heard a peep about this problem!

Reporting gas prices outside of your area
I had difficulty reporting gas prices again while at my usual gas station. Usually as soon as I arrive, while Waze is on, I can report gas prices. App is up to date. Today I got an error stating the prices being reported were invalid. Tried more than once. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't, so my suggestion is make it possible for users to report gas prices at stations they were close to, or the stations within a bigger area. That way you can re-attempt later.

Police reporting needs to be on main map instead of sub-menu
All three police reporting buttons need to be displayed on the main map, since these are the three buttons that you'll use the most. Having to click into a sub-menu and find the button that you need while driving is entirely too distracting while driving. It would be much safer if users were able to simply click the 'police visible', 'police hidden', or 'police - other side' buttons, without having to access a sub-menu.
There are two things that people use Waze for: traffic routing and police reporting. All other things in the reporting sub-menu are extra and can stay…

Add to reporting options
Please consider adding an addition to the hazard, crashes or traffic jams portion of the reporting...I.e., hazard LEFT shoulder, crash RIGHT lane, RIGHT or LEFT lane closed merge right/left. Today we do not know where the issue is, and this would be super helpful in Miami traffic 😩

Going back to correct reported hazard
Since the fantastic (not sarcasm - I really like the update - for the most part) update after I attempt to report a hazard I’ve noticed if I tap the wrong category or want to back out to the previous screen, it cancels the entire report. Then I’m 1/2 a mile down the road and it doesn’t make sense to do a new report because the location won’t be accurate.
Please PLEASE allow to back out of the category. Forget people saying “too many taps to report” if you keep from changing the location of the options muscle memory takes…2 votes -
Shortcuts for potholes
Have an option for customizing buttons on the screen like shortcuts for potholes so you only have to tap once instead of going through menus.

Hazard needed for a person in/next to road
There was a person walking on the road in the middle of the highway, I didn’t have a button for human on or on the shoulder of the road. I had to put animal. People need to know if someone is walking on the highway!

One select to report
To report an issue whilst driving is dangerous and requires 2 presses and some looking at the screen. Why not let driver press the report button just once, at an incident and when vehicle is stopped a reminder comes up on the screen to complete the report. Waze has already logged its location and the driver can then report the issue as normal.

Reorganziable reports and reports on the main screen customization
We should be able to organize the report types so it is easier to click certain ones. Also I’d be cool if we could permanently pin certain reposts on the screen so they are quicker to choose for more common reports in our areas

Ability to set an Editor Email
I've already seen this suggestion https://waze.uservoice.com/forums/59225-map-editor-suggestions/suggestions/41506807-ur-reply-via-email but I thought this would be a nice compromise.
Let editors set an Editor Email in WME, that becomes the reply-to address on report emails (for those who don't know: there is a difference between the reply-to and sent email address). The sent email can be changed to something like userreports@waze.com and then the editor can just receive the reply to their editor email.
Just to clarify, by editor email, I mean our own email addresses we already have for editing related things (e.g. deviatefromtheplan.waze@gmail.com), rather than Waze creating email addresses for us.…

Driving lane information
It would be great if a user that put notification about stopped vehicle, could also mark on which lane the event happened or is present, for example: stopped on the side, on the first lane, on the second lane or third lane

iOS App: fewer taps to report incidents?
Feature request: Please allow custom shortcuts for reporting common items like "Car on Shoulder" or "Police" or "Crash". Maybe users can select which ones to have directly on the map display screen.
Right now, it takes 4 taps on the screen to report "Car on shoulder".
Hazard (the yellow triangle)
Hazard (another yellow triangle!!!)
Car on shoulder
ReportThat is too many. I would put an icon for this this directly on the map screen. This is the most common interaction I have with Waze while driving.
