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.

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.

It’s crazy and so frustrating that this suggestion was closed, even preventing people from voting for it! 😡
It’s one of the most requested Android Auto features!!Someone had to recreate it to be able to vote, please vote here: https://waze.uservoice.com/forums/59223-waze-suggestion-box/suggestions/46320607-road-closure

Navigation sent me to closed road adding an hour to my drive. Bridge was out after heavy rains, had this feature been implemented could have been reported.

Please add this feature! I along with many other drivers got detoured via the app to a road closure that added over an hour of unnecessary track to a 40 minute drive.

This should have already been added

So, this is still pretty important. Most states don't allow the use of your phone while driving, so most folks are switching to Android Auto and Carplay. Waze should have the same functionality in AA/CP as it does in the apps.

This feature has been missing for 6 years. I doubt it will ever happen at this point.

I agree, this functionality is very important

Critically missing feature. Needing to unplug my phone and report directly from my phone while dealing with traffic issues is incredibly dangerous and should not be necessary

This is definitely a critical issue that we came face to face with during the aftermath of the i-10 fire in LA

Please add this critical report option to Android Auto and Car Play

I don't know if my vote actually went through, but I think this is critical. Without the ability to report road closures, waze becomes useless because it just keeps telling you to go down a closed road

I can't believe it's almost 2024 and I have to DISCONNECT from Android auto and submit a road closure from the phone instead of from Android Auto

Yes please!!

Happens pretty frequently and taking out the phone is dangerous.

so many reports of "missing road" are actually closures. this is a pretty glaring omission to both the Android Auto and CarPlay offerings...

I also think this is critical; we had flooding in NYC area on September 29 and I couldn't report this, nor could I know in advance not to use these roads; as a matter of fact Waze tried to take me down one of these closed streets.

Still waiting for this feature. I got caught in state emergency flooding. No one could warn me, and I couldn't warn anyone else. And once caught, there's no way to get guidance around a closed road

Road closures (especially temporary ones) are a common occurrence around me. We need to be able to report this in Android Auto. Especially since we can utilize Waze on our phone while it is connected to Android Auto.
