A way to report Gas Stations or EV Stations that are out of service or out of gas
Normally during storms, people will stock up on gasoline and stores may run out of gas to sell. Having a feature that allows users to report when gas stations are out of gas or EV stations are out of service on the Waze app would be incredibly useful for drivers. Not only would it save time and frustration by allowing drivers to avoid gas stations that are out of service, but it could also help promote safer driving practices. For instance, if a driver is low on gas and there are no nearby gas stations with available fuel, they may…

CLOSED STREET REPORT IMPROVEMENT
Hello,
I would like to suggest an improvement of Waze driver interface. Specifically cleaning up and making it easier for the driver to report a street live street closure. When doing that, the map that pops out makes it very difficult to recognize which street we want to indicate that is closed. Cleaning this option up and adding street names would greatly improve ability to report it and warn other drivers.
Thank you in advance

When reporting police please
When you report police you should be able to have an icon for rbt and rdt (random breath test and drug test) 100% this would have a massive impact on who uses the app

Checking if the one who declared a radar false alarm is moving or not, because if not he's a cop
If I just passed a radar and declared it, the cop can just mark it as false, but the cop (in most countries) has static location, so why not checking if the one who declared it as false is moving or not.

iOS App: fewer taps to report incidents?
Feature request: Please allow custom shortcuts for reporting common items like "Car on Shoulder" or "Police" or "Crash". Maybe users can select which ones to have directly on the map display screen.
Right now, it takes 4 taps on the screen to report "Car on shoulder".
Hazard (the yellow triangle)
Hazard (another yellow triangle!!!)
Car on shoulder
ReportThat is too many. I would put an icon for this this directly on the map screen. This is the most common interaction I have with Waze while driving.

Report when you stopped driving
It is difficult to report while driving because the menu is complex. So I wanna report afterwards when I stopped driving: tap on the map and report what was going on there

Crime Hazards
Add additional hazards for crime, such as: aggressive panhandlers, squeegee boys, people doing wheelies or donuts in the middle of the street, street racing, ect. Most people would like to avoid that activity.

Road block
Please add an impassible object blocking road report and once verified by at least 2 different users please have the app route users around the object for 24 to 48 hours so people aren’t turning around in the street. When objects block the road and the waze app keeps sending people down it it creates problems

Animal Crossing Hazard
I tend to be on the road often and absolutely love using Waze whenever I need a GPS. As someone on the road often, I tend to notice there are many times that there are sudden animal crossings or a lost pet on the side of the road. This does tend to be on highways where many people are going very fast and are not as careful with their driving.
I recently thought of the idea- I think Waze should include a button, under the hazard category where we could press some form of “careful animal crossing” button to warn…

Hazard reporting when not driving
There needs to be a way to report hazards after you’ve driven / not while your in the current area. I’ve been in multiple situations where there has been a hazard like a crash or roadworks where i’m not in a position to be using my phone while driving as to fully pay attention to my surroundings. I feel only having hazard reporting able to work while driving is a bit dangerous and by including the ability to report things you’ve encountered on your drive at home or when your not behind the wheel would benefit the safety of yourself…

Change place "Closed or moved" report to "Permanently closed or moved"
Today, users often report a place as "closed" because it is temporarily under renovation, or because the listed hours are incorrect. However, if an editor accepts this report, the place is deleted, which doesn't address the actual issue. These mistaken reports could be reduced if the menu item for this report was changed to include the word "Permanently."

Delete reported hazard
If you create a hazard, this may have been accidentally added (eg wrong hazard selected). There should be an option to amend or delete a hazard you have created - maybe give a timing window if you don’t want it permanently an option

Hazard duration
I've checked, and I can't seem to find this suggestion, if it's already here please direct me to it.
I like to suggest that the duration of some hazards be changed. In particular potholes and construction. Potholes where I am usually last for a month at least, and there aren't enough wazers to keep the ones that are already reported active, so an extended duration for potholes would it be helpful. Even if it were a day or two, it would let other wazers confirm that it's still there.
Construction, could last for a number of hours, or the remainder…
