*NEW* hazard notification for roadkill
Dear my WAZE PPL
First, I want to thank waze for creating such an outstanding navigation tool that helps so many drivers stay informed and safe on the road. I truly appreciate how the app continuously evolves to meet the needs of its users.
I’d like to suggest a potential improvement to the “Hazards” feature. While the current options, such as “Objects on Road,” are helpful, I believe there’s an opportunity to make the app even more informative and user-friendly by adding an alert specifically for roadkill or deceased animals on the road.
In my area, it’s common to encounter…

Add option allowing your URs to be posted under your username (not anonymoulsy)
It has been said numerous time that due to private data protections, URs are always posted anonymously.
However, many editors use the UR system as a mean to "take notes" of problems during a trip, and then will correct deal with those UR when on WME after the trip.
However, those URs are always marked as anonymous on WME and other editors often start to reply those UR not knowing that those were done by other fellow editors. This leads to a lost of time, since those UR should be considered as "already watched by another editor".
The proposition is…

Hazard Alert - Animal on Road
Could there please be some sort of function within Waze that could give the user the opportunity to report deceased animals along the road so that the competent entities could come and collect them? Or even for pets that were just run down for a vet to come or something? Could it be connected to automatically give the competent entities the location of the animal? It’s a win-win for everyone and it keeps our road safe. Also, for objects on the road, while I’m not sure what entity would be responsible for removing them, somehow also connect to the responsible…

Fuel availability reports in Ukraine
Hi there,
Most likely, you already know that Ukraine has been attacked by Russia. Since then, fuel availability has been a very critical issue.
The only way to figure out if the fuel is available is by going to the station. It's very risky, especially when you don't have a lot of fuel, to go through every station.
I suggest creating a feature of reporting if fuel is missing or available, and potentially enabling people to sign up for push notifications when it becomes available. This would be a HUGE help to lots of people in our country.

Use the Bluetooth mesh for alerts when there is no internet connection (like Bitchat)
Using Bluetooth mesh technology to create a network where each device sends an alert to the next device, until one of the devices is connected to the internet and that alert is sent to the network. Just like it's done with the Bitchat app.
Many times we drive a very long stretch without internet access, and important events happen on the road that we need other drivers to see. With this Bluetooth network activated, we can share with drivers near us, and they can share with those closest to them, eventually reaching someone who has satellite internet or even mobile…24 votes -
Add feature to differentiate between POLICE and POLICE SPEED TRAPS
Add feature to differentiate between POLICE and POLICE SPEED TRAPS
John Stephen Rymell john.stephen.rymell@gmail.com
21:34 (8 minutes ago)
to Waze-Customer-Support, supportI would like to ask for the following feature to be added to make things clearer for UK drivers.
Add an additional notification icon for use in the UK which will allow us to distinguish between POLICE and POLICE SPEED TRAPS. UK drivers don't seem to understand that the POLICE icon is for POLICE SPEED TRAPS, and not just for whenever they see a POLICE car, and as they panic every time they see a police car they want…

Send Automatic Reply for when people reply to UR emails
I thought of this idea where, if a user replies to a UR email, they will automatically get an email back (like an Out-of-Office reply) saying, 'Message not Received, you must click the link in the email to reply to this report'.
This would hopefully reduce the amount of URs with no replies, and isn't as hard to implement as other ideas.
Thanks!

Parking spaces available in car parks in real time
Several cities around the world have a real-time feed of available spaces in their parking lots.
It would be really relevant to be able to have it in Waze so that we can be guided directly to the city center or bus/tram hub. Currently Waze allows you to get around perfectly, but concretely, once you arrive in town, it does not help you to park, so the purpose is not achieved in a certain way. It’s also a matter of sustainability. Waze should help for less time and gaz wasted.
Morover many cities with real time feed have digital screen…20 votes -
Siri Shortcuts for reporting - PLEASE
How about enabling Siri interaction so users can report things hands-free? “Siri, tell Waze to report police” or “Siri, tell Waze to report a stopped vehicle on the shoulder” would be a lot safer and easier while driving than fumbling with the phone or CarPlay UI. Please consider it.

Report police driving in the same direction 🚨
Today it's possible to report police driving in the opposite direction, but it would be good to also be able to report if they're driving in the same direction as yourself to be able to warn drivers ahead of you. Or maybe it should be all rescue vehicles, so people can give a clear lane for police, ambulances and fire trucks

Radares moviles
Buenas tardes, en Montevideo Uruguay hace algunos años atrás se a empezado a usar mucho radares móviles en la ciudad y ahora también en las rutas, mi sugerencia seria poder reportar radares móviles que los cambian todos los días o cada varios días de lugar. Desde ya muchas gracias

Allow us to create customizable single press shortcut button for hazard reporting etc.
Too many steps to press while driving to report hazard etc can be dangerous. Why not allow users to create a customizable single press shortcut button for reporting car on shoulder or object on road instead of multiple steps of pressing buttons to get to the final issue. ie. not needing to press Hazard and then having to search the type of hazard in the small phone screen while driving. A single shortcut would be much easier. The most commonly used report for me is car on shoulder so why not just allow me to create that single shortcut.

Ability to Report “Automated License Plate Reader” Cameras (ALPR Cameras/Flock Cameras)
I’m writing as a Waze user with a feature suggestion that I believe fits naturally with what has made Waze such a valuable navigation platform… giving drivers useful, community-sourced information about the roads they travel.
I would like to ask Waze to consider adding the ability for users to report fixed automated license plate reader (ALPR) cameras, including systems commonly known as Flock cameras.
Waze already empowers its community to share information about police presence, red-light cameras, speed cameras, crashes, hazards, construction, and other conditions that may be relevant to drivers. As automated surveillance technology becomes increasingly common along public…

Train
I see suggestions for reporting trains, and the responses from Waze are that railroad crossings are now available. However, I would love if we could report when a train is actually there or if Waze was somehow able to detect trains / train schedules and find alternate routes one day. Knowing railroad crossings are helpful, but when there’s a train it could delay ~15 minutes to the route so it would be great to be notified of an active train or be able to report it

Add voice message to Update Request to reduce time reporting map errors to car drivers.
Currently there is only text comment option which restricts the driver from adding details to the UR. Adding voice message could help to waze editor getting more specific information and minimize message asking additional information.
This functionality improve URs resolution statistics.

Make the Map Team replies detect the prefer language of the user to send the first message in the user language
Hi, i have noticed that the " Map Team " messages are all in English as default. it would be good if the Map Team can detect the prefer language of the user, and send the message in their prefer language. Specially for example in Miami and Puerto Rico, there is a lot of people that only speak Spanish, so when they get the message in English they wont reply to that message until i send the response in Spanish. so if we can get the Map Team reply message in the user prefer language the possibility of getting a…

Police reporting needs to be switched back
The police reporting system needs to be switched back. Driving along the interstate, I frequently report police sitting on the opposite side of the road. I also report police sitting in the median checking for speeders both ways. The "other side" button needs to return.
Thanks

Inclusão de Quebra-molas como aviso perene.
Creio que as lombadas ou quebra-molas deveriam ter uma opção de alerta de obstáculo perene. Existem muitos deles sem sinalização formal e a opção perene, assim como radares, evitaria muitos acidentes.
