Hazard Report End Date
Give users the option to set a hazard report time out or end date. It should default to something sensible for the type of hazard, but can be modified if desired.
For example, there are currently roadworks ongoing for a 2 month period on my daily commute while they are joining up roads and installing a roundabout. The road surface is gravel as they are replacing the road base.
Every day I report it, and almost every day it times out and disappears by the time I drive home again.
Similarly, potholes do not disappear until they are fixed -…

Remove the Blocked for Excessive Reporting 'Feature'
Dear Waze,
At the very least, the 'blocked for excessive reporting' feature is overly sensitive; I say this,
as on a recent long trip, just reporting the usual road hazards and police presence, was enough for the app to block me from making further reports.I was then unable to report a hidden police speed trap due to this feature, which to me, defeats part of the purpose of using this great app.
The blocking occurred even though I've reached 'Royalty Wazer' status. I'm unsure if this is a bug, as the setting is obviously overly aggressive.
Please amend or…

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 -

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

Lane-specific pothole alerts (show which lane the pothole is in)
A feature that allows users to report what lane a pothole (or other hazard) is in so that drivers can avoid hazards, vehicle damage, or bottlenecks in traffic that can happen as new vehicles approach the hazard and attempt to minimize impact.

Hazard report on other side
There should be the ability to add hazard on the other side for when we see traffic stopped on the other side that has not been reported yet so that cars heading towards that area can be alert of that problem and have a better chance of avoiding accidents and helping fellow Waze users

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…
