There seems to be a serious break down about advancing this tool such a shame.

This feature needs adding ASAP!

and the ability to select what lanes are closed by using a row of checkboxes per lane, ie 2 checkboxes for duel carriageway, 3 for motorway and 4 for a smart motorway you mark the box the lanes that are closed unmarked are still open lanes and when reported it affects a 1 mile stretch of the road.

Two days ago, I was sat in queuing traffic on a three lane motorway for 1 hour and we where down to one lane due to a broken down vehicle been recovered and they closed two lanes while it was recovered using overhead matrix boards and they where been ignored and vehicles where still using the closed lane to get past in a roadworks zone with speed limit of 50mph

Thank you!

This should be FAST-TRACKED as it will eliminate a major cause of traffic jams and accidents, ultimately saving LIVES!!!

Oh god please! I love in Atlanta and we always have road construction and all the related lane closures!!

Lane closures are a very important feature, along with work zone speed limits. In certain states such as PA there are very long construction zones on freeways that are 1 lane for many miles at a time with a low speed limit such as 45 or 50 mph instead of the usual 65 or 70 and since it's 1 lane you are forced to go as slow as the slowest vehicle (often the speed limit or lower), so instead of normal traffic flow (~75 mph) you are now at 45-55 mph, causing significant delays/increased travel time.

Having a Right Left shoulder button would be a critical addition.
The LAW states
MOVE OVER SLOW DOWN for emergency vehicles.

It would be a great addition to put on the map if the right lane is closed due to a traffic accident or hazard, This allows users to know well before they arrive at the problem which lane to get out of which adds SAFETY to us first responders!!!
I am surprised that waze is not in a hurry to help protect the LIVES of EMS and other essential workers and drivers and has not implemented this CRITICAL need.

Yes. Please add a lane closure setting

Have you tried the Map Editor?

"Not Driving Edits" are best made using https://www.waze.com/en-GB/editor int eh browser.

Clicking on a road segment in Map editor will allow you to mark the road as "Restricted" either partial or fully, and provide the start and end date of the restriction.

For the roads closed feature please allow us to select which lane(s) are closed even if it's going in the opposite direction. And please allow us to tap a road/lane/on or off ramp as well even if we're not traveling on it but we're close to it to submit closures. There's been on/off ramp closures and closed lanes lately but all you offer is a full road closure option.

I got to situation that police closed the whole road because of accident, but it was in middle of straight road with no junctions near by. Tried to use the closure thing, but it was very cumbersome, not something one can do in 2 seconds i had. I had to turn around but waze still was routing me through the closed section. Eventually i managed to stop somewhere and navigate myself through the closure, so waze rerouted me. But it took me about 2 minures of fiddling with the arrows. There must be simpler way for this in closure hazard or accident report.

We are all warned not to use waze when driving. Therefore it is frustrating when a certain road is closed by roadworks and is known about, but you can only report it if you are actually driving by it. I know of a road closure and purposely don't want to drive that way as i know I will get stuck for ages. However waze will continue to direct me that way even though I know that road is not possible to drive down. Please enable users to notify of closures whilst not actually driving. I'd like to add Google maps already knows of the particular closure, so another option is to get maps and waze to talk to each other.

If A lane is closed I should be able to report which lane so people can merge to the correct lane in advance.

I agree : very good idea :-)

I believe this is the same as: https://waze.uservoice.com/forums/59225-map-editor-suggestions/suggestions/41622763-tr-closure-mechanism

Which is already added to the backlog.

Because of roadworks, sometimes a street is open but you cannot cross it and make a left turn. The only hack for now is to turn the green arrow to a red arrow and to leave a comment for future update, or to set turn restrictions.

It would be easier to be able to set a closure on a turn.

I agree mostly on the arrows on one-way streets in the client in 3D view is very useful!

If you already passed the closed road it is not possible to report the road as closed, this usually happens.

Also reporting it while driving doesn’t work (sometimes i let the passenger report it, but that doesn’t work well) because the map keeps moving.

The arrows while reporting a closed road are not user friendly.

Please make it easier to report a road closure. There was a fire closing a roadway, so i tried to report closure, and the only available arrows were not correct.

lane closure is great to know which lane(s) to avoid ahead--for construction, accidents, objects, police, etc. Not only the traveling lane in your direction, but also the shoulders, exit/entrance lanes, and opposite travel direction.

Would like to add hazard alert about roadworks then they close one lane and has to merge to one.
