More Road Closure Options
While navigating, if a road is closed, we have the option to enter that a turn is closed. You can enter construction, with temporary, or "several hours", or "several days". You should be able to enter times. For example, a road near my work is only open from 530am - 6pm M-F. There is no way to submit that.

Ok not sure why my suggestion was merged with this one. My suggestion was not a "road closure". But a better visual for construction zones, the ability to add temporary speed limits for the construction zone and the ability to close lanes, which would show up on the navigation.

Already exists.
App: no
Map editor: Yes. select the road segment and add restriction that has a known start and end datehttps://wazeopedia.waze.com/wiki/Global/Partial_restrictions#Segments

Bump. Suggestion from talk on the discord today.
After enough construction warning votes it will generate a MP in WME.
Editors can set an approximate date for completion, but users driving through can confirm or lift it (or maybe it takes so many votes to lift based on the type of road). -

Not needed since Waze automatically opens the road when cars start to drive through.

There are countless examples of accidents in construction zones in our news and on YouTube. Providing waze users with a heads up to construction zones is a wise move that improves driving safety for everyone. I fully support this idea.

Per conversation on the editors discord, it would be nice to have a black and orange dashed line which would indicate construction zones in Waze. This way drivers would get an alert and know to slow down if there are any speed restrictions. A temporary speed limit and lane closure information would be given to the user. Temporary lane restrictions would be only done by authorized users. Users of the app would be able to indicate construction zones similar to marking a road closure. If the construction is ongoing, a Waze editor could extend the timeline of it in the WME.

Boa noite, me chamo clodson e gostaria de sugeri uma sugestão para incluir uma opção para que nós usuários informa-se á vocẽs quando alguma rua estiver interditada por feiras livres ou algum outro motivo a onde não se pode passar, para que o waze trace um outro caminho desviando dessas vias. agilizando para os demais usuários e melhorando cada vez mais o serviços prestado por vocês.

poner mejor cortes carreteras.
a dia de hoy solo te deja justo donde esta y cortar un cacho de carretera. claro para informar a mas usuarios deberían dejar el tramo entero carretera. o planificar desde web decir esta carretera desde aqui hasta aqui estara cortada desde 9 a 20:00 seria mejor -

All over the country there are farmers markets and other events that close down streets for the same time duration, same day of the week, every week throughout the year. Instead of me having to enter the same 4 hour road closure every Tuesday from 3 PM to 7 PM there should be an option to enter a reoccurring road closure.

a closed path development with certain clock / time model. because for safety reasons every alley/ road will be closed for example (at 11 pm - 05 am). The schedule is usually fixed every day. I hope this scheduling can come true. to facilitate the users in reaching the destination location.

Add a marker for hours routes are usable/unusable. I live near a military installation and not all gates are open 24/7, but WAZE directs to the nearest gate, whether or not it's open and operating. The same, I'm sure, would be good for ferry routes that do not run all night.

I would love it if you guys could make a Waze app that would be best for Mardi Gras and other parades that we have a New Orleans so that we can maneuver around road closures and other types of obstacles and that the GPS can guide us around these to the we can get to our destinations without any problems

There are some roadworks in my area. The street is reopened but the map shows that it ist closed.
When waze detects that I drive through the closed route let it ask if the route is opened again and update (remove the roadworks) the map. -

I'm guessing this won't happen in the app. If you would like to schedule future closures it can be done now on the Waze Maps Editor online.

Have a future road closed option with parameters. for instance on June 5th you see a sign that says "Road will be closed June 15-20, 10pm-5am each day." Even a way to tag it and report details later when not distracted from driving would be nice and helpful for others.

In Jerusalem there are over 200 roads closed on Saturdays in religious neighborhoods, some close to the center of the city. The city has a list of them (I now have it, too) and so it is possible to know exactly which have official permission to be blocked off and are indeed unpassable on Saturday. I suggest that you mark such roads on your map of Jerusalem so that tourists don't get stuck or encounter hostile reactions from the locals!

When there is a major even such as a parade the only way to indicate road closures is to drive to the area and enter the closure thru the app. When a large area is involved you have to drive to all the areas or depend on others to indicate the road is closed. If we could use the online map editor to mark the roads as temporarily closed it would save a lot of time, gas, and frustration since we could mark all the affected roads at once. This would also be helpful when we see something on the news about a road being flooded or washed out without having to drive there to mark it on the map.
