Report a People on the Road or Generic Hazzards Icon
When there are dangerous situations on roads like an accident or car pile up or someone has had a load loose or changing their tyre, these are way more dangerous than the overly used "Car on Shoulder" hazzard, which people put for abandoned cars. We will also need an Abandoned Car hazzard i rekon.
But people near the road is an actual hazard i want to know about.

Abandoned Car & Trucks on Shoulder Hazards shortcut
The "Car on Shoulder" is becoming a standard warning for mostly just abandoned cars, the problem with this is there could be a genuine hazzard where there is a car slightly hanging over or someone changing their tire, three car pile ups, etc.
The problem of the vagueness of "car on shoulder" is being overused. It should stay, but we might need others like "Abandoned Car" and "Truck on Shoulder" for like a tow truck or a semi-truck with a blown out tire or a larger vehicle on or near the road.

When reporting traffic jam other drivers should be able to say "Not There" whenever it clears up
There are sometimes warnings for a traffic jam with slowness or standstill and the traffic has cleared up, however it seems to stay there on the map for ages.
This needs to be prompted to the users in the same way. Asking "Still there?"

Change sound for "Car on Shoulder" - This one is overused on Highways
I'm listening to music travelling down the highway only to be interupted by the Ding sound on the alerts Sound for the notification of "Car on Shoulder" hazard. Which since this one is actually just abandoned cars, this one goes off every 5km or so.
I need a way to be able to record my own sound for "Car on Shoulder" or some way to remove that Ding sound it makes.
I really only like to hear the important hazards: Police, Object on Road, Traffic Jam, etc.

Add Digital Wallet/E-Wallet as an option for Services Provided and Parking Lot payment methods
I think it's high time we add Digital Wallet/E-Wallets as an accepted payment method alongside Credit Cards in Places and also as a Payment Method in Parking Lots. A lot of places now, at least in Malaysia, accepts the use of digital wallet QR codes for payment instead of Credit/Debit cards.

link to contacts
When searching for an address to you are going to, have it search the contacts on the phone. IE I want to go to John's house, I would type or say go to johns house. And it can search my contacts for his address.

I want to put a warning icon like in partnership
I would like to see the Waze Partnership-specific warning icons, which can currently only be installed on-site, made easier to install. For example, it would be useful to have a system where you can pull over and set it on the navigation screen, or a function where you can set it using the Waze Editor in your browser.

Switch the report hazard and speedmeter icons around
I just thought it'd make sense to switch the icons around because as a right hand side drive, I want my speed closer to my eye line.

Allow to default sort the searches by distance
when searching for a place such as "costco" for example, allow your searches to always search by distance from route if already in a drive, or distance from the current location if not in a drive already.

Show map error icon in the app / Kartenfehler Icon in der App anzeigen
Report card error should be displayed as an icon in the app so that the sender can see that the card error has been transmitted and can also edit the comment by clicking on the icon to make it easier for the editor to solve the problem.
Kartenfehler melden sollte als Icon in der App angezeigt werden, damit der Absender zum Einen sieht, dass der Kartenfehler übertragen wurde und zum Anderen den Kommentar pflegen kann durch Klick auf das Icon, um es dem Editor zu vereinfachen, das Problem zu lösen.

Allow us to mark where a train is crossing a road
If we could let everyone in our area that a train is blocking a road, it would save lots of time sitting at the crossing waiting and burning gas.

About road closures from the app
Currently, the Waze app only allows you to set road closures in the direction of travel, but if you could select road closures in both directions, we believe it would be possible to provide more flexible and accurate traffic information.

Automatic approval of EVCS PURs from EVCS Feed Data
Since these come up from an automated feed (I am assuming Waze has some channel similar to Petrol Station PURs), is there a reason that Waze doesn't automatically approve them?
I understand that, similar to petrol stations, these need to be verified, to some extent. However, the scope of verification of these places could easily become unmanageable for volunteers.
Unlike traditional petrol stations, with EVCS, there could be any number of plug types, network types, payment types, etc., all at the same place.
It would be much better use of volunteer time and resources to automatically approve first (as configured),…

Minimum Zoom level for URs/Issues Tab
It would be great to decrease the minimum zoom levels for Issues tab, which would help editors monitoring a larger area. Currently URs/Issues are only shown at a minimum zoom level of 12, which isn't wide enough for bigger countries like Australia.
It would be much more convenient for an editor to have this level reduced to something close to 10.

Please add "pause" function for Closures
The "pause" feature will allow editing/modification of segments affected by an ongoing closure. While the closure is active, those segments cannot be edited until the closure concludes or is deleted and recreated. Temporarily pausing a closure to allow changes allows editors to modify any part of the segment. This is useful for long-term closures where significant changes are made to the segments. These changes can be applied to the WME before the closure ends or the roadway expansion or work project is completed, allowing those segments to reopen to vehicle traffic.

Highways traffic officer
Proposal: Addition of National Highways Traffic Officer Reporting Option in Waze
In the United Kingdom, National Highways deploys Traffic Officers to manage both emergency and routine incidents on the strategic road network. These officers are civilian personnel and are not police officers.
Currently, within Waze, patrol vehicles operated by National Highways Traffic Officers are frequently misreported by users as police vehicles. This creates confusion for drivers who receive notifications of “police reported ahead,” only to find that the vehicle in question belongs to a Traffic Officer rather than the police.
To address this, I propose the introduction of a new…

Option to choose vans as your vehicle
In the UK, vans on a dual carriage way must go 60mph instead of 70 and 50 on a single carriageway instead of 60.
Being able to choose van as your type of vehicle and having a different speed limit being shown would be extremely useful
