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.
Great thinking! We’ll share with the team; they’re always interested in new feature ideas.

Currently working on a major flood impacted area. The lack of the closure capability negatively impacts the ability for Wazers to efficiently communicate to us where local issues are.

As my voice to those who want the ability to report Street closures from the aa/cp screen.

The ability to report a closure is what the basis of Waze is built on to help others.

Not having this poses additional burden on the volunteers reacting to the 'generic map issues' which is the only way to report this on Android Auto.

This is critical as it is the most impactful report that Wazers can provide. It is unsafe for me to mess around disconnecting Android Auto and restarting waze only to begin reporting this. This feature is even more necessary considering that we cannot even make the report once we finish our drive.

Sorry to see this as closed. Just had a discussion (maybe for the 3rd time now?) with a Waze editor on why I marked a road closed. In each case, I'm driving, encounter a temporary closure (construction or accident), and try to tap the closure button in Waze's CarPlay interface hoping I will get routed around the closure. Instead, I end up "Waze-ting" the editors' time because the temporary closure has likely resolved (and I didn't intend to actually report a map problem anyway).
The days of interacting with the phone while driving are nearly gone. People are interacting using Android Auto & CarPlay and an easy way to say "Going the way you are telling me to go isn't an option right now. Get me around it." would be a big improvement (and no doubt stop wasting time for map editors).

Please add this feature! There have been numerous times where I or someone else ahead of me on the road could've reported that the road was closed ahead due to accident/construction /unknown reasons

Please add this feature, as it's got to be the primary way that users interact with Waze.

Adding the closure option on the android auto app would be most helpful going tobsay most people that run into a closure on there map will be using it through android auto or Apple car play

5 years of waiting... is the Waze development team close to a gravity well?

Let's get rid of the option to submit a bug via AA and replace it with the ability to report a RTC. This is insane.

There should be a simple way to report a road closure while driving to avoid further distractions while driving. I have to unplug my phone from carplay to try to report the closure so other people don't have the same issue.

How is this still not implemented yet?

Kind of surprised this was brought up 5 years ago and it's still not a feature
