Fixing a mistake when creating a report
Sometimes, as I try to set up a report, I click the wrong button, and there’s no way to go back to correct the error. If you close out, you lose the chance to report the issue at the point at which it’s happening. This wasn’t always a problem, but an update made this an issue.

Lombas
Olá Waze, tendo em atenção a segurança rodoviária, e como exemplo as lombas de calmia de trânsito na via pública, pelas dimensões das mesmas e que muitas vezes não visiveis pelos condutores ou estão mal identificadas, proponho a ideia de uma opção para poder-se identificar os locais das lombas que podem representar mais perigo para os condutores, tal como pode-se identificar os perigos, como boraco na estrada ou passagem de nível, visto que são obstáculos permanentes.
Obrigado,
Continuação de um excelente trabalho,Dino Midões

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!

Less restrictions for map editors
It is absolutely insane that map editors still have to ask the reporter for the exact street and cross street to complete edit requests and map updates! I have been a member since 2009 and I still can not ever remember specifics because I have a life outside of making Waze reports and notations. Also, the “navigation history” which map editors refer you to, does not have every turn. Please fix this so that users will want to report more instead of just getting frustrated.

Waze data as legal evidence
It is frustrating when vehicles are being operated unsafely and there doesn't happen to be a police officer to witness. Yesterday as I was driving down a busy NY highway 4 motorcyclists were doing wheelies, tailgating cars and weaving in and out of traffic. In the absence of a police witness perhaps a certain number of hazard reports from Wazers, including offender's license plate numbers, might be sufficient evidence for law enforcement to pursue charges against drivers creating hazardous conditions. Has anyone considered this? Thank you.

Report response tap areas instead of buttons
I think the buttons to confirm or deny warnings (like roadworks, police or object on road) are too small. On bumpy roads, it’s easy to mistap.
Tip for Improvement:
Consider replacing the small buttons with larger, semi-transparent tap areas on the screen. For example, use the quarter bottom left of the screen for 'Yes' and bottom right quarter for 'No'. This would make it much easier to respond accurately while driving.2 votes -

specify speed limit menu report
I think the app should have a quick menu for speed limit reports when clicking the speedometer or something. When the menu shows up it will have some specific value that the user can choose and the editor doesn't need to comment on the report ticket

Police car (camera hotspots) or patrol car hotspots
I know people generally tend to post where police cars are, but this can sometimes be inaccurate due to them moving around (highway patrol and police camera vehicles). Maybe a highlight on the map where reports are generally made frequently

Improve the way that traffic reporting works in cities
Avid Urban waze users like myself often find that our traffic reports will only cover a tiny segment of road, often only 100 or 200 ft. It seems this behavior has something to do with the way that the roads are segmented. There have been many times that I will be in traffic on an urban road in Chicago, report the traffic to help the community, and see that my report barely extends in front of and behind the icon of my vehicle. I'll either spam traffic reports every couple hundred feet while I'm in traffic to cover more length…

Fix Road Closure selecting
I am a traffic controller and I try to accurately report what roads are closed for the safety of the workers and convenience of others. Most the time I can't even report the street that's closed as the app won't let me select them. It will only do main roads or the roads that are next to the road I want to select. You also have to physically be on the road to select them which is another issue as I can't really leave my post to walk to each road to select them. It's very frustrating. If I could…

Report manu for car owners
Okay so i belive all of us wants to help others keep their car as safe as possible, like for instance their headlight in not on at night, or they have a smoke from their car.
So like people will get assigned ownership for their car in waze, and people can look up their number plate and report in a quick menu for problems.2 votes -

Edit Hazard Reports
Often I just click hazard because I'm driving & don't want to miss the exact location.
It would be good if you could go back & edit the hazard when stopped (ie at traffic lights) to add info such as broken down car, elephant on road, elves in bushes etc so other Waze users had a better understanding of what hazard to look out for2 votes -
Edit Map Issues
Allow users to edit map issues.
When driving its illegal & hard to report specific details of issues along the route, so often I just choose hazard. However, I would like to be able to edit the info when I'm stopped, so it's easier for other drivers to understand the issue ie: car broken down, push bike illegally on highway, old tyre on road, elves in roadside bushes etc.
I haven't yet figured out (or if you even can) how to do this.
Thanks2 votes
