Weather Overlay
It would be lovely to have some type of weather overlay. Recently returning from vacation, my husband was trying to determine where we were compared to the navigation to see when we would be moving out of the rain (it was a long time!). Or, just that heavy <weather> is in the area and we will be out of it in...whatever time. That would allow drivers the option to pull off the highway to safety if it's going to be a while.

People Walking Hazard!
You wouldn’t believe the amount of times I’ve seen people strolling across/on the side of highways. Please make a button in the hazard section to report these people for everyone’s safety!

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.

Report menu reorganization and favorites
It currently takes several taps to report things. Example: Report button-> Hazard -> Vehicle on the side of the road (-> submit report). My gut feeling is that is my most commonly used report, and I wouldn't be surprised if that were the case for others also.
Also with any report menu rearrangements/removals it becomes nearly impossible to find ones you use less frequently when you actually need them. Say "animals in the area" for example.
Being able to personalize the report menu order or set some as favorites would fix this problem.
I know voice reporting helps with some…

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!

Button Layout
This isn’t a new feature, but a slight change to an existing feature. When I am driving and I get alerts for a vehicle on the side of the road or police ahead I get two long horizontal buttons to report if it’s still there or not. I believe these buttons would be easier for drivers to touch if they were side-by-side as they would be more square and still utilizing the same screen real estate. Many times, I press the wrong one because the horizontal buttons are too narrow.

Road closure zoom UI interface
Reporting road closure should cause the app to zoom in slightly when roads overlap or are bunched together; there's less distraction and more precision. Leading on from that, there should be a mode to allow multiple inputs without getting locked out when reporting closed roads along a route. I got lost one early morning around 3AM and those features would've been a massive help.

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…

shortcut on the screen for a favorite report
Hello Waze team. I have the following suggestion - make a shortcut on the screen for a favorite (selectable) report. This is much safer while driving. For example, I only mark mobile speed cameras. Thank you :)

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

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!

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.
