Thank you for your suggestion!
This suggestion will not be implemented for the time being. Adding more and more options to reporting, especially for less popular types of reports such as other side which will also require another window/card, is not something we are aiming for at the moment. Please be aware that other side reporting is already available by voice using the Google Assistant! We believe investing in voice can create essentially a better and more scalable experience and we hope to bring it to more languages soon.
Stay tuned for more features and updates on Waze’s social pages on Facebook and Instagram.a90-fiver

I observed a vehicle stopped on the road...boy, did I want to report that! A report could prevent an accident or even save someone's life...but, you took it away! Why? I'm not sure what sort of thinking would lead anyone to conclude removing that feature was a good idea. So restore the ability to report things that are happening on the other side and do it soon. For now, I'm just reporting them on the wrong side (the only side I can report on), which doesn't really help anyone very much.
I call this a "Disoriented Device" and its a serious issue. When first starting Waze and entering a route, it will give inconsistent directions when leaving a parking lot. The device is "disoriented" in that it has no way to calculate the heading that the vehicle will begin traveling on.
My recommendation is to show a "North-up" satellite view of where the user is (e.g., in a parking lot) and what exit or optimum road entry point the driver should use to begin the route to the destination. Once a track is available from vehicle movement, then display normal route directions. I would be willing to beta test such a feature.
