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!

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

Needs to be implemented to mark temporary closures on Android auto so we can help other people

I agree with this. It's more faff to set up via the phone directly to report a road closure, and even then I can't report a closure that's outside of the street I'm currently on. So I cannot report a road closure when I arrive home after a diversion which is pretty annoying.

Very important to me, since I drive from state to state.

Yes, I had to report a closure as a map issue and was directed here. It really should not be that hard. Certainly this is more useful than being able to report an animal on the side of the road.

Brian Vogler commented
Road closures are always in my route to work, and I cannot report them

This issue should be revisited. Many more Update Requests (user reports) are generated on the Waze Map Editor because of the inability to simply report a closure. By the time anyone answers these reports, most have already re-opened. The original purpose of this function was for drivers to help other drivers avoid routing into the same inconvenient situations. For many users currently, it's anything but that.

This needs to be a feature for all operating systems; there is no safe speed at which to disconnect a phone from the vehicle, start up an app, navigate to the report menu, and report a closure. This needs to be integrated into the auto interfaces.

Many very important features of Waze are still unavailable on Android Auto, most importantly being unable to report a road as closed. Many times I have run into a temporarily closed road and I am unable to report the road as closed through the AA interface. Due to this, when I am diverted from the closed road I am immediately redirected to the road I know as closed and have to just drive far enough away that I get a different route. Another very important unavailable feature is being able to add a stop for something like gas or food. I understand if this is due to Android Auto not allowing those features, but allowing a passenger to add the stops through the phone interface would still be a massive improvement.

Amazing how short the feature list is in Android Auto. Pathetic.

This needs also to be a feature of the iOS app. I've got my phone plugged into my car and Apple Car Play does NOT present the closure button as a option. I would have to disconnect my phone, then open the options on my phone app, select closure, select the turn that's closed ... all while driving! #NotSafe

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.

Reggie Richardson commented
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.

Provide possibility to signal a closed road in auto mode
