Feature request : hazard - flooding
Hi,
I'm new to the forums but have been using waze for two years. I'm getting to be more of a 'power user' I think since I feel I've moved beyond using the app for traffic info and I'm actively trying to report incidents and edit map errors.
One think I noticed after this past week's storms in lower NY, there was heavy rain, and this caused some roads to be flooded out. I was confused as to if I should report it as a road closure (seems more permanent), or if it is a hazard. Sometimes the water was only 3-5 inches deep and you could drive through it, so it wasn't like the road was closed, but it would be nice to notify people of the issue in case they want to avoid it. Also, if I'm reporting it as a hazard I wasn't seeing anything that was useful to mark it as besides "object in road" and clarifying that it was "water /flooding". Under weather its not exactly like reporting fog or rain is going to let people know that the road is closed.
So, I'd like to make a feature request for a future version. Have there be some way to report flooding. Adding descriptors like mild, severe, or road closed would also be very helpful.
