    PROBLEM DESCRIPTION
    Having to touch screen 5!!! times, just to report 1 vehicle stopped on the shoulder, is completely unnecessary risk for the driver, who needs to pay attention to the road instead of trying to continuesly trying to select a button on the SCREEN, in a MOVING vehicle.

    Large part of the issue can be solved by implementing the following simple, yet very effective and practical feature, , that could improve the safety of drivers.

    PROPOSED SOLUTION
    Customizable shortcuts on the main screen of navigation; allow user to create custom shortcuts in order to report any kind of traffic conditions.

    Instead of having to go through several screens in order to submit a report (police, disabled vehicle etc), user could use a single tap shortcut button on the screen of navigation.
    There could be 3-4 customizable shortcuts. Shortcuts' default function can be set to the 'most often used type of reports.

    BENEFITS
    - Reduced time for submitting reports.
    - SAFER driving, as user uses less time of paying attention to the phone screen, and has more opportunity for focusing on the road and avoiding accidents (SIGNIFICANT BENEFIT)
    - Overall improved user experience.

    PRE-CONDITIONS
    - Waze is operating in a normal driving mode with or without end destination.

    USE CASE
    1. User wants to report a condition on the road, yet to be reported by other Waze users.
    2. User selects a shortcut button on the screen, that is set to a custom or most often used type of report.
    3. If desired shortcut isn't available, then user may use normal procedure to submit a report.

    POST-CONDITION
    - New report has been submitted by the driver, describing a desired condition on the road map.
    -Waze is operating in a normal driving mode with or without end destination.

    I truly hope that Waze takes my feedback into consideration, and perhaps it would safe someone from getting into an accident, and even losing their life.

    Best
