    Please consider allowing users to access a history of the hazards they have reported through Waze. This history could include:

    ● Date and time of each report
    ● GPS coordinates and street/location
    ● Type of hazard reported (pothole, object in roadway, road damage, flooding, etc.)
    ● Whether the report was confirmed by other users
    ● Duration the hazard remained active before being resolved
    ● A unique report ID
    ● The ability to add optional photos (where safe and submitted after the drive)
    Export Capability

    It would also be extremely beneficial if users could export this information as a PDF or CSV file for documentation purposes.

    Why This Matters
    Many drivers experience costly vehicle damage caused by hazardous road conditions such as potholes, deteriorating pavement, or debris. In many jurisdictions, drivers may seek reimbursement from a city, county, or state transportation agency when negligence can be demonstrated. Unfortunately, proving that a hazardous condition existed before the damage occurred is often difficult.

    A historical reporting feature would:
    ● Help drivers document recurring road hazards.
    ● Provide evidence that a hazard had been reported before vehicle damage occurred.
    ● Support reimbursement claims where permitted by law.
    ● Encourage transportation agencies to address recurring hazards more quickly.
    ● Increase transparency and accountability regarding road maintenance.
    ● Demonstrate the real-world value of crowdsourced navigation data beyond route guidance.

    Community Benefits
    This feature would strengthen Waze’s role as not only a navigation platform but also a valuable public safety and infrastructure reporting tool. It would empower users, encourage more accurate hazard reporting, and help local governments prioritize road repairs based on verified community data.

    Thank you for considering this enhancement. I believe it would be a meaningful addition that benefits drivers, municipalities, and the Waze community alike.
