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

Common hotspots for speed camera vans/ speed traps
To have common hotspots for speed vans or speed traps added to the map. This would allow users to be aware of common spots for speed camera vans. Yes shouls be doing the speed limit but at the same time we all go over from time to time especially areas we may not no or the change speed limits.

Police Speed Check instead of Police
80% of my “Police” alerts that pop up are for people that have been pulled over, which is technically “Vehicle on Shoulder”. I end up reporting “not there” and then change it to Vehicle on Shoulder. I suggest changing Police and Police (Hidden) to Police Speed Check. This will eliminate the confusion of a speed check vs a car on the shoulder.

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.

Report Blocked Lane by Voice
It would be an amazing addition to be able to say "Hey Google, Report Left/Center/Right Lane Blocked" rather than needing to use the on-screen controls as it poses a safety hazard.
I feel as if that would entice users to use the feature more; it's a very beneficial tool to have, allowing you to prepare for the lane chance before it's too late.
That may also help with traffic congestion when everyone is trying to merge into a single lane on interstates.4 votes -
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.

Report response tap areas instead of buttons
I think the buttons to confirm or deny warnings (like roadworks, police or object on road) are too small. On bumpy roads, it’s easy to mistap.
Tip for Improvement:
Consider replacing the small buttons with larger, semi-transparent tap areas on the screen. For example, use the quarter bottom left of the screen for 'Yes' and bottom right quarter for 'No'. This would make it much easier to respond accurately while driving.4 votes -
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.

pothole
The most common things I report are vehicles on side of road and potholes. Its frustrating the potholes is below the fold in the CarPlay screen, meaning that I have to scroll to get to it. It would be great if it was up higher. It would even be better if you had a setting where you could order the list how you wanted but that is a pipedream. I know it's possible as I build apps myself ;-)

When reporting anything on the road, cops, accident, construction a header should pop up asling how far back (ie my loction, 150m,300m, 600m
There should be some form of a header that pops up as you're reporting a cop. For example that lets you select how far back from your current location. Same goes for any report you're making on the road. The last heading that pops up should be how far back. Just like the last heading when you report a cop is visible hidden other side of the road.

Ambulance/Fire/Armed Police Blocking Road
I don’t understand why roadworks get precedence over emergencies. So many emergencies such as ambulances, firetrucks and even police cars regularly close or block roads temporarily causing extreme traffic jams so there should be an option to warn Wazers so they can opt to take a different route. I live in a city centre (Birmingham) where I am faced routinely with a blocked road due to an emergency such as an overturned car, a person trapped in a car, cars on fire, house fires, standoff situations with police because somebody is held up in a property with a gun or…

Voice Activated Reports
Being able to add a report by voice would be a more rapid, accurate and safer way to add a warning. For example, just saying "Waze...add POTHOLE" would be all that's needed, rather than press buttons on screen - which is dangerous when driviing. Also, using the screen takes time so you have often driven past the hazard once reported.

Add comments when reporting police presence/speed trap
Would like a feature added when reporting police running radar, comments like: “sitting in church parking lot with lights off”.
