Hi, recently the “stopped car in the lane” was removed from the Hazards. Could take it back? Thanks

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,

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!!

Want to be able to put in more cop info and a comment!
I want to be able to post there’s a cop what kind of car it is I want to be able to put in what type of car it is (motorcycle, truck, undercover, suv, car) and whether it’s a hidden police car. I want the ability to put in more info on my own on a comment so I can say it’s a hidden cop car that always hides by the school. Ect. Or a motorcycle bike that always hides behind a fence by the street. The police in our area tend to hide pretty well would be helpful for…

Ability to set an Editor Email
I've already seen this suggestion https://waze.uservoice.com/forums/59225-map-editor-suggestions/suggestions/41506807-ur-reply-via-email but I thought this would be a nice compromise.
Let editors set an Editor Email in WME, that becomes the reply-to address on report emails (for those who don't know: there is a difference between the reply-to and sent email address). The sent email can be changed to something like userreports@waze.com and then the editor can just receive the reply to their editor email.
Just to clarify, by editor email, I mean our own email addresses we already have for editing related things (e.g. deviatefromtheplan.waze@gmail.com), rather than Waze creating email addresses for us.…

Report Dangerous LED Lights
LED lights such as unshielded floodlights or bright LED billboards are a traffic hazard. Adding an option to Waze to report blinding LED lights would be popular.

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.

Police reporting error
For the last couple of months, when reporting police on the "Other Side", waze incorrectly places the police icon on the current side of the road and fails to notify drivers on the opposite side

Camera
In Holland a “traject controle” is a measurement of average speed between two or more cameras. You use it as warning for camera in next few km. That would be a “ controle traject “.

Single button for stopped vehicle
Since most of the time a hazard on the side of the road is a stopped vehicle, can we please just have a single button to report stopped vehicle on side of road, rather than it being buried under hazard?

Be able to drop a pin to report later
Be able to drop a pin and report when not driving.
Say which lane to take on freeways with multi-lane exits.
Make “closures” actually work. I am in SF and it never lets me mark where I am that is closed, also for multi lane streets, like Juniperra Serra, the option to choose a lane is needed.
