Definitely agree with this one, especially when the road type changes as well. e.g. if I'm at a light on a four or six lane road and straight ahead is a two lane road with a different name, a "continue straight on xxxx road" direction would prevent confusion.

Thanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

Also agree! Once I get to unfamiliar destination I need to go back to my navigation menu to find the address that I input, very inconvenient and also not safe when driving on narrow residential streets.

What we are aiming to do here is speed based alerters.

My memory says that when I started using Waze, the alert distance was longer. I agree this should be user customizable for both police and other hazards, and making it speed dependent, or longer on freeways, would be a nice feature as well.
To the poster who said "Stop speeding and putting people's lives in danger" - you do realize that it's safer to drive with the flow of traffic than to be a rock in a stream correct? And when was the last time you were on a freeway in the US where the vast majority of road users *weren't* speeding?

Still not working for me (2014) for reports/closures... there's a cell dead spot near me with a common speed trap and at least twice the road has been closed due to a wreck or downed power line and I've never been able to report anything. I'm not in a third world country either, I'm about 25 miles from Washington, D.C. Not sure if it's getting my drives or not but I will check next time I drive that road.

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.An error occurred while saving the comment Anonymous

From reading the forums, it appears that selecting "other side" when reporting a wreck, speed trap, etc. on a divided highway does NOT give users traveling the opposite direction a warning; instead, it attaches the hazard to the segment on which you're traveling but it would only pop up for a user traveling the wrong way on that one way segment. Enabling this functionality would double the opportunities for timely reports, and make them possible in the case where something is causing a road to be closed and users traveling on the side of the road where the incident occurs can't physically get to the e.g. wreck. Also, a "both sides" option would be useful for something in the median, either a wreck requiring emergency vehicles to be on both sides of the road or a speed trap set up in a crossover (I've often seen these with two cars, parked door to door in opposite directions.)

good idea, but most newer smart phones (at least android) will push these alerts to you automatically through another app.
