Reporting closures
As a police officer I try to use waze to report road closures to assist gps users by rerouting them. Often it's impossible to accurately do this because it won't let you report a closure on a spot you are currently on. App only let's you close the other roads around your location. I've tried temporarily relocating also. Need to make it easier to do this report.

Hazard needed for a person in/next to road
There was a person walking on the road in the middle of the highway, I didn’t have a button for human on or on the shoulder of the road. I had to put animal. People need to know if someone is walking on the highway!

Larger Closure Range
When you want to add a closure, it only shows the roads infront of your trip. More often then not, you get to the intersection and find out theres a closure that Waze didnt know about, you have cars behind you so you turn a different direction. So when you press on 'Closure', it doesnt let you chose the closure you just passed because it is now behind you.

Add facility for users to add warnings of potholes in two clicks instead of current four.
UK roads are plagued with potholes currently. Receiving warnings about them is very helpful - but reporting them is a real fiddle! It involves hitting the 'Report' baloon, then 'Hazard', then 'On road', and finally 'Pothole'.
No-one should be juggling all that while driving, and yet RECEIVING the warnings is most helpful. Nor can you go back and mark them later. There are too many!
If the problem isn't such a major issue elsewhere could it just be introduced in the UK?6 votes -

Wildlife
Within the hazards section there should be a report button for wildlife helping warn motorists to remain vigilant, which when reported also sends an alert to the respective wildlife protection agency in that region to send a dispatch to prevent the animal from causing an accident and becoming injured. This would be extremely useful in Australia as we have an abundance of wildlife that resides near our roads .

Type of hazard
Better options for reporting a hazard, particularly a hazard that is in live lane of carriageway. One example that stands out would be to report a car that has stopped in the live carriageway. Currently, I can only report a vehicle on shoulder.
Example: 'Report - Hazard - Vehicle Stopped in Carriageway'.
This is a very important reporting option.
Example 2: 'Report - Hazard - Wildlife in Carriageway'.
Basically, more hazard reporting options would be useful.5 votes -
Blacklist police
When there are multiple police reports in the UK in one area it usually means there is a police checkpoint, recently there have been more in my area however me and my friends noted that the police also use waze themselves and press “not there” to remove warnings other waze users have put so that people do not realise and have to go through the whole headache of getting checked. A couple of ways around this could be that you require multiple different users to press “not there” before removing from the map or if a user has been stationary…

One Touch for vehicle stopped on shoulder
For me 9 out of 10 hazard reports are a vehicle stopped on the shoulder. It takes 3 taps. I suggest to create a new button on the main screen that does the report in one tap only - like a macro. It will be safer and easie

Add an option to disable the "still there" "not there" prompts.
This feature frequently covers directions, and I rarely pay attention to it. When I do notice it at all it's because I'm trying to check my directions and I need it to be gone. In those instances I rarely know whether it was actually there or not. I always end up hitting no because I didn't/haven't seen whatever it is asking about. You would actually get more useful information from me, by allowing me to disable this feature entirely. Because I know I have reported no on something that is actually there.

Workers Present and Emergency Vehicles
Maybe add a report for highway maintenance workers present. And perhaps generalize police to emergency vehicle present to include fire and ambulance. Police watch the highway for more than just speeders. It’s not always a good idea for everybody (such as drunk drivers) to know about specific police presence

Whiteout conditions
A report for winter whiteout conditions would be extremely useful and a great safety feature for those in the north that deal with these weather conditions.
Whiteouts are the single most dangerous winter driving we run into and they can come out of nowhere and effect very narrow sections of highway causing near zero visibility leading to pileups.5 votes
