Possibility to add road closure on CarPlay
Possibility to mark road closed on apple carplay: ofen in Montreal, Canada we have lots of road closure, not reported on waze, causing wrong direction.
Thank you for your valuable feedback. We're pleased to confirm that this suggestion is planned and we appreciate your input as we continue to enhance our product.

It is extremely inconvenient that road closures are not able to be reported.

This feature is important since we want to provide Waze with up to date map information. I cannot pull out my phone and input this info when I’m driving, leave alone trying to find an alternate route.

I'll just keep reporting temporary Road Closures incorrectly as Map Issues until this gets fixed.

This is a critical feature and it boggles my mind that it doesn't exist. There is nothing more important than a road closure, and when you approach one using Waze in CarPlay, there is currently no way to report it and have a re-route pop up. How can it be that we can report a roadkill, or an animal on the shoulder, or obvious fog (useless warning), but we can't report and react to a ROAD CLOSURE?!

I've needed this feature multiple times but it's not there in CarPlay, which forces me to enter the wrong thing just to have something to submit to warn people, which is so obviously low quality.

The amount of times I get stuck because of a road closure and it will not suggest a new route because I can’t report it! I end up driving miles away for it to update for a new route! Please fix this!!! Sick of getting stuck!

I work in Sugarland. This is a constant issue. This is critical. Having on the phone and not CarPlay is useless.

this would be very helpful in an urgent situation, especially when you are unfamiliar with alternate routes in the area

Today, in South Africa, was the perfect example of how having the closure option on Carplay would have assisted with traffic alleviation. Multiple roads closed due to flooding, but no way of reporting that the roads were closed. Multiple users reported flooding, and other hazards, but Waze still shows the road as open and free flow, with no traffic. PLEASE add the closure option to Carplay.

I have a long commute and this is affecting me almost daily & I may have to switch the app i'm using if it continues to cause such poor routing

Allow us to report road closures when using carplay. I can see this was suggested back in 2019 but still hasn't been actioned. Not only is this helpful in making other drivers aware, it also means i can be given an alternative route when faced with a closure. Currently, if i find a road closure waze becomes unusable as it repeatedly tries to re-route me back to the closed road.

It's not safe to go into the app on my phone while I'm driving. It should be an option on carplay so you can automatically be rerouted. This happened a few days ago to me. It kept looping me back around to go the same exact route in which the road was closed. I ended up being 10 minutes late to my appointment, not to mention, not knowing where I was going I ended up driving down some potentially dangerous neighborhoods.

For all the reasons below… this should be a priority, the idea is for Waze to guide away from problems, why not make exporting problems as easy as possible.
With the increasing use of carplay and android auto, and wireless connections, my phone doesn’t leave my pocket, and I’m not going to try and pull it out while driving…. Especially when two taps of the carplay screen should report it.

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.

On Ramps and Off Ramps are often times closed at various times of the day and night, especially on US Interstate 10 (I-10) in San Bernardino County in California, due to the widening of the Freeway over several years since about 2017. Please take into account these emergent issues and add this feature to Carplay and/or Android Auto ASAP.
I was guided to this link, to voice my opinion, by the Map Editor who stated I used the 'Map Issue' feature incorrectly when I pressed the feature while being guided on Carplay. My Waze Handle is 'GoodStory71' for further contact or clarification.

Not having this feature almost cost me to miss my flight out of PHX on Saturday morning. I could not have Waze avoid the closure of SR-143, and after trying 3 different routes suggested by Waze that all used the same SR-143 at different points of entry (all closed), I had to figure it out the old fashioned way.
Pleuezzzee add this feature soon!

I understand the idea of simplifying the reporting choices you have in Waze using CarPlay, but reporting a road closure seems crucial. When I used the most obvious existing way - reporting a map error - the volunteer map editor gently chided me for misusing the function. Is there a good reason reporting a temporary road closure has been left out of CarPlay?
