car on shoulder specification.
you should add a subsection under “car on the shoulder” for “right shoulder” or “left shoulder”. this helps in big cities where the highways are quite large. If someone is on the right shoulder it doesn’t affect the people in the left lane. but if i can’t see 300 feet ahead of me in the left lane, and there’s someone in the left shoulder, it affects everyone that’s flying on the left lane, as well as other cars on the roadways. just a thought.

Waze user to be able to edit or delete his own incorrect report location
Why cant a wazer that reports a camera or police position edit his own report if he makes a mistake? Its hard to accurately report such things whilst driving and passing the location, not to mention illegal. I wont report now as I made a mistake and couldn't edit or remove the incorrect report. Please can we have this feature in a future update to enable new wazers to accurately use the report feature and in turn promote wazers confidence and a more accurate location reporting. I was so embarrassed when I made the false report that I haven't dared…

Short and long term reports with a form
It would be interesting to add a form to report closures or work in progress in the short or long term when not driving. It often happens that my city issues a notice about work planned in the future on a road and I have to go to Live map to report it through "Report a generic problem" and write by hand all the information, including dates and times, as well as the link to read the official notice.
If there was a form it would be easier to enter the data that would then be viewed by the Editors.

PLEASE bring back animals on shoulder and roadkill
For the love of traffic safety, PLEASE bring back reporting of "Animal on shoulder" and roadkill.
I live in the northeastern U.S. and deer are a CONSTANT factor in traffic. This can be said for almost any area of the country for various species of animals and it's such a HUGE help to know if there are animals grazing near the road or possibly on the road, especially at night. Approximately 1 to 2 million collisions with large animals occur annually in the U.S. so I just can't understand why this feature was removed from the app. The roadkill part…

Police Speed Check instead of Police
80% of my “Police” alerts that pop up are for people that have been pulled over, which is technically “Vehicle on Shoulder”. I end up reporting “not there” and then change it to Vehicle on Shoulder. I suggest changing Police and Police (Hidden) to Police Speed Check. This will eliminate the confusion of a speed check vs a car on the shoulder.

Weather
Icy road and severe weather alerts need a quicker expiration time. I just did a road trip that had hundreds of icy road and severe weather alerts that were 2-8 days old for roads that were dry and skies that were clear. I could only clear one when there were over 4 reports stacked on the same location.

ICE/DHS SPOTTINGS
With everything going on in the U.S. I suggest adding an option if you spot ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) or DHS (Department of Homeland Security). Kind of like the police spotter option. What side they are on and if they're Hidden or Visible.

Voice reply
We can report things like crashes or stopped vehicles but we can't reply to the "still there?" prompt. Even having the ability to confirm with voice after we had passed whatever it was would be nice

Car stopped ON road ie: transport unloading new cars
In Ontario we have frequent stopped vehicles in the centre turning lanes of roadways. They stop to unload new vehicles for car dealerships. Would like an option to report car/vehicle stopped ON the roadway, separate from the “car on shoulder” option

Being able to pinpoint the exact location of a cop, wreck or other map issue
I think Wazer should be able to pinpoint the exact location of a cop, wreck or etc. I know that in the state that I live in, if a cop sees you on the phone, they’re going to pull you over and give you a ticket. So therefore, I can only report a cop after I have already passed them, which leads to an incorrect location of where the cop actually is.

Road Humps, not bumps.
Waze UK calls them Bumps, but they should be called Humps.
Hump is a noun, they are hump shaped, like a humped-back bridge.
Bump is a verb, you can bump into a door, a car can bump into post.2 votes -

Add the ability to edit and combine reports
for example,
(1) correct 'danger' to 'stopped vehicle' and 'stopped vehicle' to 'police',
and
(2) combine 'accident' or 'police' with 'blocked lane'2 votes -
Report road closures
Come on. . .you can do better than this- road closure is important to everyone using the road it should be high on the priorities list for Waze users- at the moment it is virtually impossible to report a route is blocked or closed!

Feature request - ability to specify which lane is affected
I wonder if it would be possible to add an extra screen where you can specify where a hazard is - e.g. a pothole or object in the road. It’s not useful on a 3 lane motorway to be informed about a pothole in lane 3 when you’re driving in lane 1!
Additionally if a feature could be added regarding reporting things on the other side of the road - e.g. roadworks that are in the lane going in the other direction but not affecting your lane.

Traumatic
Possibly new category of report. "Traumatic" title proceeding current and or new reportable events to alert drivers who may have younger children or sensitive occupants in their vehicles of situations such as accidents or struck wildlife that may be extremely visible to other passing motorists, so the driver can choose to detour and avoid exposure of such traumatic instances to their passengers or their selves.
