    Currently we report speed bumps as potholes. If we could report them differently, nobody would expect a speed bump to disappear. And you could sell pothole information to local governments for pothole fixing planning.
    I love being able to report closed roads. But I can’t do it using CarPlay. That should be possible, otherwise the app will try to send us again through the same blocked road. Please fix this.

    The reason why I picked restriction on my Waze was because I could not find any other option to show that there was a road closure on my map. Turns out the volunteer map editor said this was incorrect and suggested I voice my concern here. Why isn’t this a feature offered in CarPlay? This seems to be a gross flaw in Waze. This is one of the main reasons for community input to help others not get stuck in traffic. How can Waze recalculate a route for others if that option is not available in CarPlay? Please make this happen ASAP. This goes against your own mission statement: “In 2009, we created a crowd-sourced navigation app that would make it easier to circumvent literal and figurative bumps in the road. How? By working together.”

    When using car play/ Apple play, it does not provide the issue of road closure. I have come across this problem twice now and was only able to place map issue, which is not the correct input. It also does not let me use the app on my phone when plugged into the car.
    Please place Road Closure option on CarPlay/ Apple Play.

    Hi there!

    I would like to make a feature request for CarPlay users that already exists in the phone app, which is reporting a roadblock. Sometimes Waze gives us a route and we come across a blockage caused by roadworks or an event. It would help other drivers if we could report the blockage. Otherwise, to report we have to disconnect the phone from the car, access the app and then report. It's a hassle and can lead to accidents.

    Thanks in advance.

    This is the number one complaint I have about Waze and CarPlay. The current app creates a dangerous situation because drivers have to disable CarPlay and then use the app on their phones while driving to report a closed road. This report is the most important report a driver can make while driving and using Waze.

    Yes please add this feature! I have to physically disconnect from CarPlay in order to report road closures which is very dangerous and extremely frustrating

    This is a significant issue with Waze. It makes it so roads appear open when closed. It also stops reroutes when roads are closed. When you need this the most, it fails.

    I have to physically disconnect my phone from CarPlay to report a closure I encounter, which is dangerous. I'm not sure why CarPlay can't be set to create the same interface for an upcoming intersection only (understand why you might not want users to move the map while driving).

    NOT having apple car play road closure feature is truly annoying!! it would really be helpful for those of us that use WAZE everyday for travel to and from work :(

    Please make this happen! I live in an area with road closures due to flooding. It’s not possible to mark the road as closed even - via the mobile app - unless you are in close proximity. By which time I’m in the car and can’t add it via car play. I.e if I know a road is closed 2 miles away, and Waze routes me down that road, if I click in the app “road closed” the only “arrows” I can click to advise of the closure are within the first few turns, with no option to mark the road as closed further in to the route.

    Need the ability to mark a road closed via Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, especially temporarily, for accurate data/use of Waze!
