Lane closure reports made easy
I'd like a report button that would indicate lane closures.
Could press to report the beginning of the lane closure, then press again to report the end.
Then you indicate whether it's the left, right, or center lane.
Hey,
Please note we're changing the status of this suggestion to Not right now, since we finalized our plans for 2024 and this idea won't be implemented this year.
We hope to include it in our plans for later down the line.
Thanks!

Beim Melden einer Baustelle (Gefahr - Baustelle) soll zusätzlich angegeben werden, ob eine Spur gesperrt ist und welche. Diese Meldungen sind oft falsch, da gar keine Spur gesperrt ist sondern nur eine Spur verengt ist. Diese Auswahlmöglichkeit (Verengte Fahrbahn) fehlt.

With real time closures being considered as a part of suggest an edit in the future, can we look to redirect failed closure attempts from feeds into a SaE instead of a Map Problem (MP).

Lately people don’t seem to notice road signs due to navigation apps on screens.
I suggest adding important signs (such as Narrowing lane sign) on the speed sign icon or near it.
Would prevent a lot of dangerous situations on the road. -

You can already report Left, Centre, or Right lane as blocked.

During construction or accidents, indicate which lane is closed or blocked. "Construction reported ahead, left lane closed"
Very simple

it is over a year later… So why has the lane closure easy ad not been updated?

Add a new report option to inform other drivers which lanes are closed due to a wreck or roadwork. This could potential lead to improved traffic flow.

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!!!

When reporting a hazard on the road, I would like the option to indicate if lanes are closed (and how many are still open)

I was looking for this today. I reached an area on a highway where construction was being done, but the lane closure of a two lane highway started about 2 miles before the construction site. This led to a lot of traffic and would have been able to avoid it if there was an alert like "right lane closed ahead"

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

In a construction zone, there should be an option to let others know which lane is closed ahead.

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.
