Add an option to report mowing crews
Add the ability for people to report mowing crews on the highway in Waze. These are a common hazard that people could run into, especially during the Summer months

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 -
Improve petrol station reporting
Manual option to report fuel pricing or larger range.
When at a fuel station, the request to update prices doesn't always occur so pricing isn't up to date.5 votes -
Fewer taps to make a report
When using CarPlay (or even my phone when I'm the right-side passenger), to report a vehicle stopped on the side of the road I must tap the orange "Report" circle, choose "Hazard," "Shoulder," "Vehicle Stopped." In CarPlay, when driving that takes my eyes from the road at least four times to identify/locate/push the appropriate button to make the report. Rather than spelling out the words for each part of the notice - perhaps readily identifiable icons could be "stacked" under the headings. As with "QWERTY," there are gestures/reports most often used that could be located in priority locations on the…

Add road closures that happen at specific times
For example, there’s a road on one of my regular routes that is currently undergoing construction and it’s a 2 lane highway so in order to work on it properly without traffic interference, they close the road between the hours of 10pm-5am Mon-fri. I noticed there is no option to report closures with a specific time frame which kind of sucks. I think it would be beneficial to add this feature as I know of quite a few other roads or ramps that close only at specific times.

Road closures
To have the option to post road closures in either direction. For example if heading north bound and see a road closure southbound or if stationary to be able to post road closures, instead of only having option to post about road closures depending on what the gps says what direction it thinks I’m traveling

Report temporary traffic lights using MapMate should generate a roadworks hazard not a UR
In the UK, when we have roadworks with an incursion onto the carriageway, they are often accompanied by temporary multi-way traffic lights. This allows the road to remain open, while controlling traffic flow over a narrow than normal bit of open road.
Since the introduction of MapMate reporting, we have noticed an increase in MapMate URs coming in referring to the presence of temporary traffic lights. This should not generate a UR, and should generate a "roadworks" hazard report.
I have raised this on the Waze Discuss MapMate thread, but it has been suggested that this feature is not on…

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…

Ramp and road closures
If there is a way to report closed roads and highway ramps, I can't find it. And maybe others can't too, which could be the reason why closures I've driven up to this week were not reported. Sometimes a firetruck has a road blocked. Sometimes it's a block party or a broken down vehicle. The reasons don't matter. The closed roads and ramps are what matter

Weather
Icy road and severe weather alerts need a quicker expiration time. I just did a road trip that had hundreds of icy road and severe weather alerts that were 2-8 days old for roads that were dry and skies that were clear. I could only clear one when there were over 4 reports stacked on the same location.

Voice reply
We can report things like crashes or stopped vehicles but we can't reply to the "still there?" prompt. Even having the ability to confirm with voice after we had passed whatever it was would be nice

Drunk
Subject: Innovative Idea for Enhancing Road Safety- Reporting Drunk Drivers on Waze.
I propose adding a feature that allows users to report suspected drunk drivers directly through the app. Similar to how users can report hazards or police activity, a “Report Drunk Driver” button could alert nearby drivers of a potentially dangerous situation. This could help keep drivers safe by providing timely warnings and allow law enforcement to be notified for quicker intervention.
This feature could include:
• A Quick Reporting Option: Users could tap a button to report a suspected drunk driver, including the vehicle’s description and location.

Being able to report closed roads when you are not at it
We need to be able to report closed roads when we are not staring at it or driving. I hate that I can only report closures when I'm there. If I know the road is closed I should be able to report that from a safe place or after the drive. I get that it needs to be verified, but it seems like we should be able to do that by linking state/county reports.

As a motorcycle user
Not all motorcycle users have an intercom, and while driving the motorcycle we cannot hear alerts, radars, accidents, police. It would be good if, given these notifications, The entire mobile screen flashes, to visually alert. Dashboard type in MotoGP.

Preventing police removing themselves
Is there a way to prevent police removing themselves. Maybe by detecting a stationary user or removing police reports multiple times in the same area or as soon as they're posted.
