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.

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.

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

Still having to disconnect my phone to make proper closure reports...

Critical feature to add for all the reasons already articulated in the comments.

Alexander Badrak commented
Absolutely critical feature. I have made these road closure reports many times in Waze, but to do so I had to disconnect my phone from AA, and reconnect afterwards. It is absolutely not safe to manipulate your phone while driving, and simple button on AA screen would help everyone's safety.

There should be an option in android auto to report a road closure same as there is on your phone because you can't always pull over and stop to disconnect your phone to use waze on it to report this

Really need this feature for Android Auto thanks to the gazillion accidents around L.A. that close off-ramps and highway connectors!

Adding a voice feature or even be able to add it as an option on the android car play. There are a few road closure ls due to flooding in the area.

That would be great feature and maybe add a voice feature I tried to report a temporary closure due to floods and I couldn't earlier today via Android auto
