Add closure report to Android Auto
There does not appear to be a way to report a temporary closure of a road due to an accident, etc. from within the Waze Android Auto interface. Please consider adding this feature.

Hey,
Please note we're changing the status of this suggestion to Currently Not Planned 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!

Yes this needs to be added!
I had pull over, to disconnect my phone from the car, flag the road as closed using the app directly, then reconnect my phone to carry on driving.
For me, being able to report a road closure comes above being able to report a map issue if you are looking for another button to demote.

Thought I was going crazy. Motorway sliproad was blocked last night & could not work out how to flag the road as temporarily closed to force it to recalculate my route home. Now I see why! This is nuts...the only reason I started using waze was because I thought it could do this recalculation. And yes it can do it, but not when connected to android auto. What are we supposed to do pull over unplug the phone, flag it as closed, plug it back in again - seriously?!

Waze and Android Auto devs must be playing Ping Pong at the work, instead of doing their job. If safety is really a concern, so why do they keep closure report on device only? Anne Marie said it all! Geez, this is so ridiculously obvious. Wake up guys! For God's sake...

NEED NEED NEED this STILL!! If I hit a road closure, I have to unplug my phone and use the app on my phone to be able to redirect. Definitely NOT safe to be doing while trying to drive in a place I'm not familiar with!

You can't mark road closures with Waze on AA. This is a big oversight.

Excellent idea!!! would be great to be able to help other Wazers indicating the closures from Android Auto!
