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.

Feature request - ability to specify which lane is affected
I wonder if it would be possible to add an extra screen where you can specify where a hazard is - e.g. a pothole or object in the road. It’s not useful on a 3 lane motorway to be informed about a pothole in lane 3 when you’re driving in lane 1!
Additionally if a feature could be added regarding reporting things on the other side of the road - e.g. roadworks that are in the lane going in the other direction but not affecting your lane.

“Back” button in Reports
I noticed that when you want to report something (hazard, blocked lane, police, etc…) sometimes I may press the wrong category for what I want to report, but there’s no “Back” button, only “Cancel”. But there’s problem with cancelling, that is you lose the exact location you passed and if you report again it may be misaligned.
There should be an option for a back button to search for other categories in case you misclicked in a category that is not the one you wanted to report initially. This way, the system still holds your “original” location when you pressed…

Remove achievement points after reporting
Again my main goal is to improve the app and the safety in the traffic.
After reporting a hazard, a car on shoulder a speed trap or else the app immediately shows the points I received for this report. The big problem is, that in that time the report-button is not shown and can't be used. So if I have to make two reports in short time for example a roadwork and a car on shoulder or I want to report that the left AND the middle lane is blocked I have to look almost 10 seconds on my phone…3 votes -
Stop cops from reporting “no longer there”
If a vehicle hasn’t moved for a set time (ie a cop doing a speed trap) don’t let them report “no longer there” or remove the icon. If other wazers are moving on the road, but the one cancelling reports is not, suspend the account. Especially if they are cancelling multiple reports from different wazers in the same area.

Reporting road closures shouldn’t report on a road being driven on
When I was trying to report a road closure, it automatically suggested the closure was for the road I was driving on. Why would that ever be the case?

There is insufficient time to confirm reports.
There is insufficient time to confirm reports. When he gets there and I see it visually to confirm, the possibility has already disappeared. With pre-approval, the function loses its meaning.

Wake up command and Voice Reporting
Hi the New beta is fine but we still need a button to report by speech, because you are still forced to press buttons on smartphone to report a situation we need a wake up command IN WAZE
(like hi Waze please report traffic ahead). Or Hi Waze Report. And Waze says: what would you like to report? Traffic ahead.
- same as google but google Assistent commands only affects and redirects to google browser..
Not waze it does nothing in Waze. Only google maps!
I noticed Waze doesn't have a

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.

The new system for reporting road closures is nearly useless!
The new system for reporting road closures is nearly useless. I used to simply indicate a direction, now it asks for a lane and no direction. Consequently I have encountered many more unreported closures and I have difficulty reporting them because I've gone past them and can't say what is closed - it just asks for left, centre or right lane. Grrr! Is the Google takeover finally taking effect? Less sense, more convolution... I also note that to send in this suggestion, my Waze login isn't valid - Google login is required.

New report idea - undo button
Hi there, I have used the app for so many years now and it's the best. If I could suggest a new function is 1st, when we try to add a report (such as an accident or police) on the road, I believe that an undo button is required, because sometimes while driving accidentally press the wrong report .. so An undo button or notification is a good idea (sane for android auto)
2nd suggestion is while we are driving without a route on the map, show the address we are driving on. Like Google maps.

Clickable alerts icons in the "Overview" button
I think it can be better to have the possibility to click on the alert icons at the top of the screen (traffic, crash, hazard...) when we are on the "Overview" screen to see where the different alerts are.

Needing multiple people to remove a posted notifier (traffic, police, etc)
The fact that a single person can remove a notifier by saying “it’s no longer there” is a little broken I think the app should need a minimum of 3 users saying the (traffic, debris, accident, police, etc) are no longer there. -ps got a **** ton of ideas first ones free next 50 need a job opportunity

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…

Speed Van Report
Hey guys,
I have an issue where a lot of police reports are actually just speed vans. Where possible, could you guys add a separate report for speed vans/cameras?
Kind Regards,

Going back to correct reported hazard
Since the fantastic (not sarcasm - I really like the update - for the most part) update after I attempt to report a hazard I’ve noticed if I tap the wrong category or want to back out to the previous screen, it cancels the entire report. Then I’m 1/2 a mile down the road and it doesn’t make sense to do a new report because the location won’t be accurate.
Please PLEASE allow to back out of the category. Forget people saying “too many taps to report” if you keep from changing the location of the options muscle memory takes…3 votes -
Police
Is there anyway you can report police and speed cameras with a lot more notice, from my experience 0.3 miles is no where near long enough to react in most cases!! Could it change to 1.2 miles. This gives us more time to react and plan ahead. Also you could make the report for the police on both sides of the road!!
