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!

I have 5 examples where this mechanism is necessary (or handy to have). Mostly due to restrictions while roadworks or works on the shoulder are performed, the driving restrictions are hard to implement, without workarounds and vandalism the base-map. -

I tried to indicate a barred road section in the map, and the options Waze offered were just unusable. Lost of arrows to inducate which ways it is impossible to go... about 4 would have had to be used... nonsense. There should be a black line (bar) which the user could place ACROSS the road that is closed and the software could take care of the rest. The closure in question was a road broken up for about 3 days due to a pipe change. Please help.

You mean having Realtime Closures for turns, correct?

When will Waze show school road closures?
Lack of information about these seem to be causing problems in Croydon UK

Including lane options for closures & road hazards be extremely helpful so we can change lanes to avoid it. Also being able to report/confirm police on opposite side of highway.

It may be difficult to implement, but a Time-Based-Turn-Closure would be really helpful during construction works. How many times are you obliged to UNKISS segments because crossing through the roadworks is not allowed? So like a closure mechanism but then on node TR.

It would be great if under on road hazards there was an option to indicate lane closures.

Many times, when I'm manning a Road Closure as part of my police duties, I have to stand in the road, launch Waze on my device and then manually try and 'drive' to somewhere just so I can then select Road Closure. Unfortunately because of the limitations of dragging the map farther away from where you are, I cannot insert a road closure from the other way (sometimes needed) to help divert traffic around. If you've ever manned a road closure or stumbled upon one as a civilian, it's so boring being asked whether the road is closed or whats the route to get to ABC or home etc. I usually just say, use Waze and it'll route you home. Any chance we can allow dragging the map farther afield for this?

When identifying construction, categorize type (all lanes open, shoulder closed, right lane closed, left lane closed) also the length of construction zone ( some are miles long)

My husband and I travel a lot, and we have run into a problem a lot with Waze because it would tell us to go a certain way but when we get to certain streets or highway entrances as let Waze Navigation, they are closed.
There needs to be a feature added that if we see a street is closed, we can mark it as such on the map for other wazers.
Or highway entrances, let’s say we get to a highway entrance and it is closed, it has a sign that due to construction, this entrance will be closed as of 11pm until 5 am the next day. This will be for the months of June, July and August.
I think it’s very important to have this feature because it happened to ya several times and the next entrance was pretty far and no other way to get to where we were going! -

Under construction, there should be a feature added that we could select to show that there is a lane closure.
We should also be able to select whether it is just one lane closed or two lanes and whether it is the lanes on the right or left of us.
And a feature to show that only one lane is currently opened.

It would be nice to have a heads up on what Lanes are closed for an accident or construction I know this could be kinda hard to but it would be so helpful to know what's going on around you as a trucker it's nice to have a cb to know where I need to be but when I'm in my car it's a guessing game it would just help with jumping from one lane to another

Bonjour,
Il nous arrive d'avoir connaissance de la fermeture de route mais sans être spécialement à proximité.
Serait-il possible de signaler les fermetures de voies depuis un téléphone ou un PC sans être à proximité de la route fermée.
Merci -

Route 9 in Garrison is currently closed everyone is indicating an accident around the area of route 9 and 403 because you can't get to where the road closure is Waze is still trying to tell us to take route 9 North that path is not available

When you arrive at a motorway colony on a highway, caused by an accident, or working on a highway. It would determine exactly which of the lanes is blocked and which is passable. In order to immediately see which of the lanes can be selected.

Not only is it bad to not know about road closures, but I think it’s possible that the Waze algorithm sees no traffic on the road and then directs you right to a dead end. Yesterday was the first day of school in Miami and Waze took me and many other drivers to a road that is closed due to train track construction. If you allowed drivers to report this, you could verify it real time by seeing that all the Waze drivers in the area are taking evasive routes around the closure.
