Reporting road closures shouldn’t report on a road being driven on
When I was trying to report a road closure, it automatically suggested the closure was for the road I was driving on. Why would that ever be the case?

Under fire area and relevant closures in Google Maps are missing in Waze
A severe fire was ongoing the previous weeks near our capital city in Greece, covering a vast area. While Google Maps is aware of the area that is under fire and has imposed relevant closures, I notice that in Waze, there are no closures in the same area at all.
I believe that it is very important for Waze to be able to pull such data from Google Maps in case of emergencies like fires, so it can protect and inform intime the drivers.
Thanks!

There is insufficient time to confirm reports.
There is insufficient time to confirm reports. When he gets there and I see it visually to confirm, the possibility has already disappeared. With pre-approval, the function loses its meaning.

Wake up command and Voice Reporting
Hi the New beta is fine but we still need a button to report by speech, because you are still forced to press buttons on smartphone to report a situation we need a wake up command IN WAZE
(like hi Waze please report traffic ahead). Or Hi Waze Report. And Waze says: what would you like to report? Traffic ahead.
- same as google but google Assistent commands only affects and redirects to google browser..
Not waze it does nothing in Waze. Only google maps!

Stopped car in the lanes
Hi, recently the “stopped car in the lane” was removed from the Hazards. Could take it back? Thanks

The new system for reporting road closures is nearly useless!
The new system for reporting road closures is nearly useless. I used to simply indicate a direction, now it asks for a lane and no direction. Consequently I have encountered many more unreported closures and I have difficulty reporting them because I've gone past them and can't say what is closed - it just asks for left, centre or right lane. Grrr! Is the Google takeover finally taking effect? Less sense, more convolution... I also note that to send in this suggestion, my Waze login isn't valid - Google login is required.

New report idea - undo button
Hi there, I have used the app for so many years now and it's the best. If I could suggest a new function is 1st, when we try to add a report (such as an accident or police) on the road, I believe that an undo button is required, because sometimes while driving accidentally press the wrong report .. so An undo button or notification is a good idea (sane for android auto)
2nd suggestion is while we are driving without a route on the map, show the address we are driving on. Like Google maps.

pothole
The most common things I report are vehicles on side of road and potholes. Its frustrating the potholes is below the fold in the CarPlay screen, meaning that I have to scroll to get to it. It would be great if it was up higher. It would even be better if you had a setting where you could order the list how you wanted but that is a pipedream. I know it's possible as I build apps myself ;-)

Clickable alerts icons in the "Overview" button
I think it can be better to have the possibility to click on the alert icons at the top of the screen (traffic, crash, hazard...) when we are on the "Overview" screen to see where the different alerts are.

Needing multiple people to remove a posted notifier (traffic, police, etc)
The fact that a single person can remove a notifier by saying “it’s no longer there” is a little broken I think the app should need a minimum of 3 users saying the (traffic, debris, accident, police, etc) are no longer there. -ps got a **** ton of ideas first ones free next 50 need a job opportunity

When reporting anything on the road, cops, accident, construction a header should pop up asling how far back (ie my loction, 150m,300m, 600m
There should be some form of a header that pops up as you're reporting a cop. For example that lets you select how far back from your current location. Same goes for any report you're making on the road. The last heading that pops up should be how far back. Just like the last heading when you report a cop is visible hidden other side of the road.

Ambulance/Fire/Armed Police Blocking Road
I don’t understand why roadworks get precedence over emergencies. So many emergencies such as ambulances, firetrucks and even police cars regularly close or block roads temporarily causing extreme traffic jams so there should be an option to warn Wazers so they can opt to take a different route. I live in a city centre (Birmingham) where I am faced routinely with a blocked road due to an emergency such as an overturned car, a person trapped in a car, cars on fire, house fires, standoff situations with police because somebody is held up in a property with a gun or…

Edit Pothole Location If Passed
sometimes it takes time to click report and select the option of a pothole. But by this time, you have either passed it or are unable to use your phone for Whatever reason such as inability to touch phone screen etc. So having the ability to show on the map where the pothole was would help users of the app avoid the pothole before getting to it as my experiences that I hit the pothole before I’m warned about it. Sorry for example, just like when you order an Uber taxi, you are able to drop a pin showing your…

Speed Van Report
Hey guys,
I have an issue where a lot of police reports are actually just speed vans. Where possible, could you guys add a separate report for speed vans/cameras?
Kind Regards,

Police
Is there anyway you can report police and speed cameras with a lot more notice, from my experience 0.3 miles is no where near long enough to react in most cases!! Could it change to 1.2 miles. This gives us more time to react and plan ahead. Also you could make the report for the police on both sides of the road!!

Want to be able to put in more cop info and a comment!
I want to be able to post there’s a cop what kind of car it is I want to be able to put in what type of car it is (motorcycle, truck, undercover, suv, car) and whether it’s a hidden police car. I want the ability to put in more info on my own on a comment so I can say it’s a hidden cop car that always hides by the school. Ect. Or a motorcycle bike that always hides behind a fence by the street. The police in our area tend to hide pretty well would be helpful for…

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.…

Report Dangerous LED Lights
LED lights such as unshielded floodlights or bright LED billboards are a traffic hazard. Adding an option to Waze to report blinding LED lights would be popular.

Voice Activated Reports
Being able to add a report by voice would be a more rapid, accurate and safer way to add a warning. For example, just saying "Waze...add POTHOLE" would be all that's needed, rather than press buttons on screen - which is dangerous when driviing. Also, using the screen takes time so you have often driven past the hazard once reported.
