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.

Add > Hazard > On road > Vehicle Stopped/Broken down
Knowing if a vehicle is stopped on the road or on the shoulder is critical. This information could be life-saving. We recommend updating your navigation app to include this feature.

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

Car stopped ON road ie: transport unloading new cars
In Ontario we have frequent stopped vehicles in the centre turning lanes of roadways. They stop to unload new vehicles for car dealerships. Would like an option to report car/vehicle stopped ON the roadway, separate from the “car on shoulder” option

Being able to pinpoint the exact location of a cop, wreck or other map issue
I think Wazer should be able to pinpoint the exact location of a cop, wreck or etc. I know that in the state that I live in, if a cop sees you on the phone, they’re going to pull you over and give you a ticket. So therefore, I can only report a cop after I have already passed them, which leads to an incorrect location of where the cop actually is.

Road Humps, not bumps.
Waze UK calls them Bumps, but they should be called Humps.
Hump is a noun, they are hump shaped, like a humped-back bridge.
Bump is a verb, you can bump into a door, a car can bump into post.3 votes -

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.
