Police car (camera hotspots) or patrol car hotspots
I know people generally tend to post where police cars are, but this can sometimes be inaccurate due to them moving around (highway patrol and police camera vehicles). Maybe a highlight on the map where reports are generally made frequently

Improve the way that traffic reporting works in cities
Avid Urban waze users like myself often find that our traffic reports will only cover a tiny segment of road, often only 100 or 200 ft. It seems this behavior has something to do with the way that the roads are segmented. There have been many times that I will be in traffic on an urban road in Chicago, report the traffic to help the community, and see that my report barely extends in front of and behind the icon of my vehicle. I'll either spam traffic reports every couple hundred feet while I'm in traffic to cover more length…

Fix Road Closure selecting
I am a traffic controller and I try to accurately report what roads are closed for the safety of the workers and convenience of others. Most the time I can't even report the street that's closed as the app won't let me select them. It will only do main roads or the roads that are next to the road I want to select. You also have to physically be on the road to select them which is another issue as I can't really leave my post to walk to each road to select them. It's very frustrating. If I could…

Report manu for car owners
Okay so i belive all of us wants to help others keep their car as safe as possible, like for instance their headlight in not on at night, or they have a smoke from their car.
So like people will get assigned ownership for their car in waze, and people can look up their number plate and report in a quick menu for problems.2 votes -

Edit Hazard Reports
Often I just click hazard because I'm driving & don't want to miss the exact location.
It would be good if you could go back & edit the hazard when stopped (ie at traffic lights) to add info such as broken down car, elephant on road, elves in bushes etc so other Waze users had a better understanding of what hazard to look out for2 votes -
Edit Map Issues
Allow users to edit map issues.
When driving its illegal & hard to report specific details of issues along the route, so often I just choose hazard. However, I would like to be able to edit the info when I'm stopped, so it's easier for other drivers to understand the issue ie: car broken down, push bike illegally on highway, old tyre on road, elves in roadside bushes etc.
I haven't yet figured out (or if you even can) how to do this.

Special preferences for Waze Volunteer Editors
I suggest special preferences for Waze Volunteer Editors for both recognition of Volunteer Editors and also benefit to Waze. Sort of like Mood characters for Editors as a reward. But in this case it would be for the benefit of Waze operations and easier reports.
- Make it possible to place "Report Map Problem" first in the list since we are constantly scanning for map improvements.
- Make it possible to preload the Report contents with Editor information. Example, I like to prefix my notes with [Note: Sr-Navi-Gator report] and then follow with what ever I am reporting. This way other editors…

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 ;-)

Blocked Lane achievement points for reports and likes
The Blocked Lane report is a terrific addition to reports. However, Waze users do not get any credit in Achievements for seen or likes as they do on other reports. This disincentivizes users from using the feature. I hope Waze will allow users to collect points for reporting a blocked lane as they do on all other reports.

More specific warnings
Can there be an option to report a speed van/camera in Ireland?
Currently speed vans (privately operated) are reported as police which is not accurate but its the closest option however there is a big difference between a parked private speed van and a garda checkpoint/police.Thank you!

Edit Pothole Location If Passed
sometimes it takes time to click report and select the option of a pothole. But by this time, you have either passed it or are unable to use your phone for Whatever reason such as inability to touch phone screen etc. So having the ability to show on the map where the pothole was would help users of the app avoid the pothole before getting to it as my experiences that I hit the pothole before I’m warned about it. Sorry for example, just like when you order an Uber taxi, you are able to drop a pin showing your…

Police reporting needs to be on main map instead of sub-menu
All three police reporting buttons need to be displayed on the main map, since these are the three buttons that you'll use the most. Having to click into a sub-menu and find the button that you need while driving is entirely too distracting while driving. It would be much safer if users were able to simply click the 'police visible', 'police hidden', or 'police - other side' buttons, without having to access a sub-menu.
There are two things that people use Waze for: traffic routing and police reporting. All other things in the reporting sub-menu are extra and can stay…

Add to reporting options
Please consider adding an addition to the hazard, crashes or traffic jams portion of the reporting...I.e., hazard LEFT shoulder, crash RIGHT lane, RIGHT or LEFT lane closed merge right/left. Today we do not know where the issue is, and this would be super helpful in Miami traffic 😩

POLLICY Suggestions from Wazers
Dear Wazers,
I believe Waze is an incredible tool, but I think there are opportunities for improvement. Have you considered incorporating features that allow users to suggest improvements to local governments and cities? For instance, users could report issues like potholes, malfunctioning traffic lights, or poorly synchronized signals directly through the app. Waze could then relay these reports to the relevant authorities responsible for maintaining roads and traffic infrastructure.
Additionally, Wazers could provide suggestions for new roads, bridges, or traffic patterns, which could greatly enrich both the Waze experience and governmental planning efforts. By facilitating this exchange of information, Waze…

One select to report
To report an issue whilst driving is dangerous and requires 2 presses and some looking at the screen. Why not let driver press the report button just once, at an incident and when vehicle is stopped a reminder comes up on the screen to complete the report. Waze has already logged its location and the driver can then report the issue as normal.
