Notifications for Update requests
Rather than send an email to the editor when a Update Request (UR) gets a new reply, the editor gets a notification rigth there on the WME (social media style). This will be more faster, and easy to reply UR's. Once you click on the notification, It will take directly to the UR location.

Comments on crashes and construction!
Please bring comments back! As a passenger on road trips it was nice being able to add comments to crashes to suggest which lane to get in, to detour around, etc. Same applies for construction.

Unmarked police car option for map reporting
Where I live, there are unmarked police cars who are using radar guns to send tickets to people in the mail. Please add an “unmarked police car” option to the reporting menu so people can have the distinction.

Construction Flagger / Pilot Car
Add a user-reporting option for “Flagger / Pilot Car” to notify drivers of temporary traffic control on active construction zones. This alert would indicate the presence of flaggers directing traffic or pilot cars leading vehicles through one-lane or restricted sections of roadway.

Increase notification for destination
The first time I used waze I completely missed my destination. Im used to my old map app zooming in and notifying me if I have missed it. Waze just assumes you have arrived and so I was lost after I missed my destination. There was also no notification to turn, it just assumed where I was going was in the middle of the road, with no sound to let me know when I have arrived and if the directions had worked. This makes the app unusable for me as rural areas sometimes houses and places are very hidden!

When I click on police icons on map, the popup stating time reported should be larger so I can easily see it on my phone. It’s so tiny now.

Inaccurate “Public transportation” Ticket Alerts for motorcycle-only routes
In Taiwan, many segments and turns (which aren’t public transportation lanes) are restricted to motorcycles only (24/7). However, the system currently assumes they are public transportation lanes by design and shows this pop-up.
As a result, when navigating through these routes, the app mistakenly shows a ‘Ticket Alert’ with a ‘Public transportation vehicles only’ warning. This causes a lot of confusion for users.
To improve the user experience, I suggest displaying a specific ‘Motorcycles Only’ warning when approaching routes restricted to motorcycles.
This would act as a great reminder for users who might have accidentally set their vehicle type to…

Highways Agency Flag
Can we have a report for Highways Agency under the police section. That are too many false reports for police when it is just Highways Agency going about their day, but it is important to know when HA are around as they can cause hazards

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!

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.

- object on other side of road

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

Seasonal Stork Nest Reporting in Waze
A seasonal, optional Waze feature allowing users to report roadside stork nests and optionally indicate the presence and number of chicks.
One-tap reporting, minimal distraction, visible only in spring–summer.
Aggregated anonymous data could support bird protection NGOs and research programs, turning Waze into a simple citizen-science tool without map clutter.2 votes
