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 -

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.

history with time left and time arrived
the phone app should have history more prominent with time left and time arrived, it would be highly useful for a lot of people. you already log this data but it's harder to access and the phone app does not even show time driven (arrival time would be more useful for us hourly workers)

Reportar y/o responder a incidencias en manos libres
Creo que sería adecuado que, diciendo una palabra clave (como por ejemplo en Google, hi google) se activara el sistema para poder introducir las incidencias en carretera, o afirmar o negar si sigue la incidencia reportada, por parte del conductor. Tipo manos libres. Así se puede participar mientras va una persona sola en el vehículo

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?

School zone camera speed trap Lawtey, Fl. No flashing lights. 20 mph. Can't read times on sign when driving.
Lawtey, Fl. is operating an unethical school zone speed trap at the light on US 301. There are NO flashing lights and the zone times are impossible to read when driving by at the posted speed of 40 mph. Speed limit drops to 20 and is camera enforced. Ticket for $100 arrives 2 weeks later. If Lawtey was truely concerned about student safety, they would install flashing lights. Their primary objective is to defraud unsuspecting drivers and Lawtey has a long history of being a speed trap.

Change sides for icons
I use Waze in the car and on the motorbike. As a biker I want the reporting icons on the left of the screen, as a Uk car driver, I want the reporting icons on the right. I’d like the ability to be able to swap the reporting icons from the left side to the right and vice versa. I’m using IOS 26 and would like to be able to set this for either option depending on whether I’m riding the motorbike or driving the car.
Please consider this for future updates.2 votes -
Lowered Cars
The concept is a Low-Clearance Vehicle Mode that would:
• Detect and report hazards such as potholes, bumps, debris, and flooding in real time.
• Allow users to submit hazard reports as they encounter them, similar to Waze’s current system for reporting police, accidents, or traffic jams.
• Provide alternative routes to avoid potential damage to vehicles, especially on streets, bridges, or parking areas with low clearance.
• Integrate crowd-sourced data to keep the map continuously updated for low-clearance vehicle drivers.This feature could enhance Waze’s reputation as the most comprehensive navigation app while addressing a currently underserved market of…

Create a Waze Editor Pin For Map Issues
I suggest adding a special “Map Editor Pin” that allows Waze editors to mark specific locations where they’ve noticed an issue while driving. Currently, we use URs (User Reports), but these can be unclear or require additional follow-up from other editors.
With a dedicated Editor Pin, we could:
Mark problem spots quickly without needing to provide a long explanation on the spot.
Let other editors see that the issue has already been identified.
Reduce unnecessary back-and-forth contact when it’s clear that someone is already planning to fix it.
This would save time, reduce confusion, and make collaboration among editors more…

Report a Hazard
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 -

Specific reporting should not be exclusive to voice reports
I and many others refuse to use voice assistants. I personally find it much more distracting/focus breaking. It's a personal choice.
If some people wish for simpler ux, that is fine, however the option to coherently and fully report animals, a vehicle stopped on the ROAD, etc etc, must be available to all users. If there is a dormant "enable classic reports" switch, please enable it, alongside map chat and comments, which is at this point unusable anyways. The feature is (was) especially useful for the shotgun passenger.

Add option to alert to "Opposite Side" police reports
In most areas, even police with bumper-mounted radar heads can measure speed in different directions and differentiate between targets, and many departments (most, these days) equip front and rear emittors which work simultaneously. Unless this feature is exclusively to be used for situations where the threat is on the other side of a concrete barrier where there is no nearby onramp or turnaround, it makes no sense not to at least have the option to enable such alerts.

Reporting offline
It would be great if the app could send the report when the network connection is back, instead of informing, that there's no network connection and the report can't be sent.
