How to report hazards: icy road? disabled vehicle?

Post by apolex
I haven't been able to find the correct category to report dangerous icy road conditions. I see under "Weather" where you can report "heavy snow", etc., but that's a lot different and not relevant for a bad icy spot on the road that I want to warn others about.

Also, I reported a disabled vehicle today, but had to enter it as a "shoulder" hazard and that it was a car that the police pulled over. But this vehicle was completely blocking the road, creating dangerous one-lane traffic. Is there a better mechanism/category where I could report this?

Thanks,
Apolex

What Client are you using? I just report these as "Hazard" and then enter the details. On the latest iPhone version, selecting Road, Shoulder or Weather brings up more sub-options, and you can also record a 10s voice note. Even under the previous version, you can manually type whatever details you need.

Thanks Alan, I'll check that out. I'm relatively new to Waze, so I'm not completely familiar with all of its options or capabilities yet.

Hello,
I know it is a bit old subject but I have the newest version of Waze and have to say that it is a little bit problematic to report icy road, spoiled oil or other thing cause they are not in the list.
I think also that writing a comment during driving on the icy road is not the best idea ;) .
After that one also could report "accident" ;)

Are there any plans for adding some more possibilities to be chosen from the report list?
