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 would appear that it is Android Auto and Apple Carplay who for some reason will not allow the 'Road Blocked' feature to be used. If this is the case, then as a workaround, give us the option to either make a detour from that point of the planned route or give us the option to choose a particular road that we want to avoid (the blocked road). We don’t have to report it as being blocked. It’s just telling Waze, Android Auto or Apple CarPlay that we don’t want to use that particular road. I can't understand why, after almost 5 years since the original post by xavier, no one at Waze has been able to come up with a solution to this.

I support this ask! Even if it doesn't update the map immediately it would help for the directions to note that another driver (and add how many drivers if more than one) noted an issue with this route so we can make a choice to reroute or to continue if we don't trust what others are entering. Then when your team can confirm you can update the map.

No update? Really? I've been led to multiple closed roads now, I'm assuming because people can't report them. Given the massive amount of construction in my city, I'm going to have to switch to another Nav App until this is resolved.

We've been asking for this feature since 2018.
Is it a technical limitation? Something else?
I'm sick of trying to make excuses in URs when someone reports a Missing Road when what they really want to do is report a closure. The vast majority of your userbase are not coming here to make suggestions, they're deleting Waze and going to your competition.
Do you want your volunteer editors to be doing useful work on the map, or would you prefer we continue tilting at windmills and asking for clarification from people who will ultimately never respond to us?

@Ella if you're not going to add this feature, please explain why. is it a limitation with CarPlay/AA or something else?
as a map editor, i find myself making excuses for your lack of this feature at least once a week. i'm sick of answering this question in URs!

That this isn’t a feature already is sort of astonishing. Did the developers expect folks to pull over to the side of the road, disconnect Apple CarPlay or android auto, report a closure, and then re-initialize CarPlay or android auto and continue their drive? No developer there can say they would expect this unless they genuinely would do it themselves.

In the Car Play App not having the CLOSED ROAD icon under HAZARD is an issue.
Very strange that it exists in the WAZE App but isn't present when connected to the car and CARPLAY is envoked.CLOSED ROAD - on Turn Left/ on Turn Right/ Going Forward.
I assume the Closed Road status goes away when Waze notes # users are now driving down a previously reported Closed Road?

I would like to see Road Closures as an option to report when using car play with iPhone. It seems to be missing. It’s seems not to be possible from the iPhone, as it is in step by step mode.

The removal of temporary road closures from CarPlay is a huge deal given that road construction season is now getting into full swing in my area

Why isn't this resolved yet? Why did the admins close the voting? Why did Ella just give such an unspecific response? Why can't you just add this feature? It poses a major security risk trying to disconnect your phone from your car while driving just to be able to get propper navigation.

Trying to use CarPlay more and more to avoid futzing with my phone while driving. This would really help - reporting closures and accidents feel like they're the most important to me.

This important to ensure rerouting is effective.

This is crucial especially when routes don’t update

Having to pull over and disconnect my phone from my car just to report a closure is odious and contrary to the mission Waze is trying to accomplish.

Hello Team, Any news on this? It is essential to report closures because it is the only way to recalculate the route. Otherwise you are stuck in a loop
