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.
Great thinking! We’ll share with the team; they’re always interested in new feature ideas.

Please add this feature! I just had to report a road closure because I didn’t have this on my CarPlay, therefore leading to a wrongful report of issue and waste of volunteer editors’ time.

Critical feature, as it leads to distracted driving without it and is not giving back to the community when you do not report it.

Upvoting pretty much all the comments- it's distracting to use the Waze app to get rerouted instead. Road closures have become more and more frequent and I end up switching maps- not the experience I desire, hence an update would be helpful!

This is insane it hasn’t been implemented in the 4 years since this suggestion!!

Need this in CarPlay for crying out loud. It's a huge inconvenience at best, and a safety issue at worst. How can you expect people to stop, unplug, and report a Closure, re-plug...all while they are driving? "Map Issue" is the only option available, which I what I have been using, and creates a problem for volunteer editors not seeing the issue in time.

Yes it makes total sense for users to pull over, unplug car play and report a closure
It couldn’t possibly be on the development team to implement such a feature

I totally agree! We need a road closure button on carplay and AA versions of Waze! This is extra important in Michigan where they make you do a "Michigan Left" aka turn around on a split median road where if one is closed for construction you may have to drive an extra mile out of your way to get to the next available one! Please add this button!

so many reports of "missing road" are actually closures. this is a pretty glaring omission to both the Android Auto and CarPlay offerings... how long has it been now since this idea was posted and we've seen nothing?

This is very important to me.

Yes please - I've several times had to avoid temporarily closed roads in NYC for various reasons (flooding, police emergency, etc) and there's no way to report these in carplay.

I pull over to the side of the road to unplug my cell from CarPlay to report road closures. I commute over an hour and the ability report quickly, easily and safely from CarPlay should be available.

It is illegal to use a cell phone while driving in my state. The inability to report a closure via CarPlay and only through the mobile app is a massive problem. Do you need developers? What’s the holdup?

This has to be an oversight - what is taking so long to add this feature?

Carlos Melendez commented
This has been around since 2019???? Talk about priority huh. Just say no and close it. You can always say it was added to the backlog.

This is a huge SAFETY feature that Waze should already have in place. It is not an option in Michigan to unplug or even touch your phone, so makes reporting a closure impossible. It is a Law here, and in other states, that you cannot be touching your phone while driving. It is a $200.00 ticket. Please add carplay! You do not want us sending you our tickets to pay...

Often encountering road closures due to construction and would love to see this feature directly in CarPlay !

However, we’ve been voting on this for four years and it is still not a feature and Apple CarPlay? It doesn’t make sense to have to unplug your phone to report a road closure. Safety third I guess?
-
Steve Leach commented
Is this a limitation imposed by Apple or Google for in-car nav systems? If so it would be useful to post that rather than "not on the roadmap"

Tammie Lou commented
Agree! Please add road closure option to CarPlay! This will help tremendously for reporting the many temporary closures that take place in an urban environment. It will also help avoid map issue reporting as this is otherwise the only option. Please add CARPLAY!

This has got to be one of the most requested features and it is my biggest problem with Waze. You get an alert every time a car is in the shoulder but when Waze tries to take you through a closed road there’s nothing you can do but recalculate over and over. It is critical. Add it to the roadmap.
