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.

This would be a great addition. Very valuable to all users

why is this option not available yet?
In the Netherlands, both AA and CP are used quite often to attempt to indicate a closure, but that is not possible and it takes a lot of extra time for the editors and users to check and correct this. -

Just got told after submitting a map issue (which is the closest thing I could find in android auto) that was the wrong thing to submit for a temporary road closure. While I love being able to share with my fellow users problems like a freeway on ramp being closed temporarily, no was I am digging through my phone to do so. This needs to be a feature added to Android Auto asap

Please add. It's more distracting from driving not having it there. It should be easily found so that it can be quickly reported.

This is definitely a needed feature. I have a lot of road closures due to construction near home and work and I'd love to be able to update the map my voice.

I can't believe that this has been outstanding for so long.

Hi, there are news about this important function?

All option on the mobile app as for issues on a route should be avaliable on car play or android auto.

I'm surprised it's not already on there

Why is this not included in the Android Auto interface by default
-
Noah Thomsen commented
This is an important feature to have. In my state, it would be illegal to report the road closure if I had to use my phone. Adding this to Android auto would be helpful and limit the distraction potential.

Really a must have I've had to use road missing each time a road was closed due to flash flood

This is really important...I drive about 200 miles a day, and use the Android interface. Since I'm usually carrying a passenger, I can't unplug and go to my phone each time. It would be better for the platform if immediate results were available from gig drivers daily.

Definitely needed as temporary closures are not uncommon.

I use Waze most of the time but find the absence of a re-route function in Android Auto on the car screen a major flaw with the app. I always have my Garmin Sat Nav in the car ready to set up for occasions like this. My Garmin has a re-route function which guides me past a closed or blocked road. Can't understand why this issue has not been addressed yet as it has been 4 years since the original post.

So much construction right now, and no way to report it! Avoiding these detours is a big part of why I use GPS in my car. Waze used to be better about this.

This feature could have potentially saved me 30+ minutes on my recent trip. Multiple roads were temporarily closed due to a presidential convoy travelling through the area, but nobody had a way to report the road closures!
