Potholes
Not really an issue but a suggestion. Is there any way you guys can implement a way to report potholes as a type of hazard

Report Pavement Marking conditions
Allow users to report whether the road pavement marking lines are faded, missing, or incorrect. This is especially important at night. Ideally this would also send an aggregated report to the city, county, or state to fix it!

Im Behind a cop Button
Right now, you can report stationary cops, but you can't report a cop that is actively traveling down the highway. What if Waze had an "'i'm behind a cop" button?
Pressing it would bring up a persistent button on your screen. While it's active, Waze uses your location to display a moving cop icon on the map for other drivers. Once you turn off or are no longer behind them, you just tap cancel to end the tracking. It keeps the map updated in real-time without having to constantly drop new pins.2 votes -
Turn off pothole notification separately
In Hungary, the road conditions are often terrible, especially on the route I take daily. Every few meters, a pothole is marked, and the app loudly alerts me each time.
It would be amazing if there was an option to turn off pothole alerts separately. I know I could disable the entire “Hazards” category, but I don’t want to, because on my daily route, there are often incidents like animals on the road, and I would like to keep getting alerts for those.

Hazard types needed
We have a lot of veld fires either directly alongside the road, or where the smoke from a nearby fire blows across the road. The closest hazard type to this is fog, which is different, because flames on the shoulder are as much a hazard as the smoke causing poor visibility. It would be good to as this as a hazard type.
We also have a lot of pedestrians that (illegally) walk along the shoulders of highways & freeways. It would be good to add this as a hazard type, along with which side of the road they're on.

Road closed in uk
We need to be able to inform Waze that the road ahead is closed so it will re route us a different way but not keep trying to take us back that way

Hazard report on other side
There should be the ability to add hazard on the other side for when we see traffic stopped on the other side that has not been reported yet so that cars heading towards that area can be alert of that problem and have a better chance of avoiding accidents and helping fellow Waze users

Simplify ability to mark roads as closed
There is a road closure near me which is not currently shown on Waze and Waze therefore keeps trying to route through this closure. I know it is there so why am I not able to simply mark a road as closed anywhere (ie not just when I am on a route)? Otherwise people will keep being routed towards a closure and the last thing they are thinking of when they are having to turn around and go a different way is to inform Waze about the closure. Seems such a simple fix and if you are worried about it…

button
Please restore report button (big orange triangle) position back to down-right corner. New position is extremely not intuitive, hard to use while in motion and cover part of the map. Moving button there was not good idea at all.

Blocked lane options laid out vertically in CarPlay. The options would appear as the actual road position and be more efficient
Would it be possible to lay out the blocked lane options vertically as it would appear on the road in CarPlay rather than horizontally?

Reporting App Abuse / False Police Indicators
We have a neighbor who plays “Waze hall monitor” every single afternoon, marking that there’s a police officer in front of his house — even though there is never an officer present. He does this daily just to slow traffic in front of his home.
I’ve tried to report it, but the profile shows only as “anonymous.” When I click on the police icon, the only option is a thumbs-up to confirm it’s there.
Waze should add:
A “Not There” or thumbs-down option to counter false reports.
A Report User option to flag accounts that repeatedly post fake alerts.
This…

Under a report of hazard there should be several options
“” report a hazard on the right side report a hazard on the left side report a hazard on the opposite side of the highway and a selection for vehicle type or color it would really help indicate whether or not the vehicle is helping a pedestrian or if a vehicle is outside of their car if there was an option to state so2 votes -

Gas report moderation
Shop owners and trolls often report inaccurate gas prices. It seems innocent until you find a 20 minute old report that weirdly underreports the price of gas by 20 cents, and find them at a number of nearby stations while you try to figure out if you've spent more gas driving to different ststions than you could save by finding at least one correct one.
There should be a mechanism to either moderate this, or simply add a mechanism of photo verification at the pump with a confirm/deny for the next person who gets there.2 votes -
SPLIT: notify drivers of heavy traffic ahead of time and offer alternative routes
Another suggestion would be when the app sees there is heavy traffic well before and notifies the driver of different routes available due to the accident or whatever may be holding up traffic.
Thank you!!

Add button to report ICE agents
Like reporting police, add one for ICE agents. Probably increase users for the next 4 years.
