We plan to work on Quick-report presets in the near future. In the meantime, make sure you’ve got the latest version of Waze for all the latest features.

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
