Please add the feature to report a road closure on the Android Auto version

@Ella "NOT RIGHT NOW"? really? There is no option to reroute and ignore a road on android auto, so Waze often tries to send you to the same road closure again and again. Which can sometimes be difficult to get around if you're not familiar with the area.

This is necessary for waze to provide safe routes!!

Waze person sent me here to vote on this. I went through the crazy stuff to set up your separate account for this and find that vote button does nothing? Glad it's Friday..

Although I have an old car and couldn't use this, I agree. Also, waze KNOWS what road it told me to take. Why do I have to figure out while trying to get out of a mess with cars behind me what all these arrows mean? Why doesn't waze just ask me to confirm that, yes, road X is closed, get me out of here?

Having a road closure option on Android auto would help out drastically. Grabbing your phone and opening it and disconnecting android auto takes too much attention from driving and too much time.

good morning, in the android auto options I would insert the "road closed" reporting function.
It would be very nice to be able to configure the options to be displayed on Android Auto independently in order to make the most used ones available. Thank you

I agree with everything the original poster has said. Users have been asking for this on several other posts for many years, but Waze doesn't seem to show any interest in doing anything about it. Android Auto and CarPlay are probably responsible for this. However, surely during all this time Waze could have come up with a workable alternative option. As an alternative for example, adding a detour feature in situations like this to reroute drivers around a closure or obstruction. Garmin and TomTom Sat Navs have these features and they work very well, so why not Waze? Consequently, this would not involve reporting a 'Road Closure' which is what Android Auto and CarPlay appear not to want to introduce for some reason.

It would appear that it is Android Auto who for some reason will not allow the 'Road Blocked' feature to be used. If this is the case, then as a workaround, give us the option to either make a detour from that point of the planned route or give us the option to choose a particular road that we want to avoid (the blocked road). We don’t have to report it as being blocked. It’s just telling Waze and Android Auto that we don’t want to use that particular road. I can't understand why, after over 6 years since the original post, no one at Waze has been able to come up with a solution to this.

Allow us to report road closures when using Android Auto or Carplay

This is crazy! More and more people are using android auto, and it's becoming obvious that people are not reporting road closures any more.
One of the main features of Waze!

@Ella if you're not going to add this, please explain why.

as a map editor, i find myself making excuses for your lack of this feature at least once a week. i'm sick of answering this question in URs!

I can't believe this still hasn't been remedied. Please add this feature! Not having it on Android Auto just encourages users to use their phone instead.

Please add this feature

This functionality is essential otherwise you keep getting routed back to a temporarily closed road leading to confusion and high risk of accidents

This is a very important feature

The fact that this simple but critical feature is missing from AA and AC is completely insane. It drives me crazy every time Waze stubbornly tries to navigate me through a closed route while I have no possibility to report the route as blocked. I know that it works on the phone, but disconnecting the phone while driving is dangerous and unnecessary. Please fix!

There should be the ability to press a button and report temporary closures on Android auto. If it's not a button at least have a button and then the ability to say what street it is on and then it adds it. For the building by voice to say at a road closure to "Road name."

The voting does not accept new votes. This feature affects safety. To use the road closed feature, we need to disconnect from CarPlay and use our phones. For this we would need to pull over to avoid distracted driving.
