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?

temporary road closures add challenges to driving. When your directions are telling you to do something you cannot on the road, things become more difficult. Allow users to help others quickly by adding this feature to Waze please.

Would be a great help

Too difficult to report this. Please add it to CarPlay.

I spent too much time staring at the CarPlay screen looking for a way to mark the temporary closure. Anything that distracts from something that should be intuitive and quick is DANGEROUS and distracting for the driver and others on the road. Make it easy to report so we can get back to undivided attention.

I have my phone wire to my Dash for Android and Apple carplay and when I run into a detour or a road closure it doesn't give me the option to report it so I can change my route but when I'm not connected to Android or Apple carplay I have full accessibilities to say yes no and all that why isn't that not an option for car player users

My whole thing is helping others. I don't want people going down a road that is closed. It would just be nice to be able to report it easily and fast because for one I'm driving and two, I'm running late because I went down a road that was closed.

Super important to change this!

I was going to suggest the same thing. I didn't even know that was an option until the support told me I could use the "closure" option next time (as opposed to "general map error")... I never use Waze unconnected to my car. Not sure why this and a few other options aren't available.

Had the same problem today in Valencia, Spain: a temporary road closure ended up being reported as an invalid turn.

This is crucial for the social aspect of Waze.

This issue should be revisited. Many more Update Requests (user reports) are generated on the Waze Map Editor because of the inability to simply report a closure. By the time anyone answers these reports, most have already re-opened. The original purpose of this function was for drivers to help other drivers avoid routing into the same inconvenient situations. For many users currently, it's anything but that.

Please add this feature. With all the construction that has happened on the freeways I travel in the last year, it would have been very helpful to have. I would end up reporting any closures not shown as "turn not allowed" and it seems to throw the map editors off until I explain what I meant.

Greetings from Mexico City!

I am a happy avid Waze user since 2014.  2 years ago I updated my car stereo with a Pioneer AVH-W4400NEX in-dash Multimedia Receiver which I probably use on a daily basis.  Since Mexico City suffers from constant road closures due to demonstrators/protesters I frequently report such road closures to help other users behind me.  The problem is that when my iPhone is connected via CarPlay with my Pioneer receiver, the reporting button never shows the "closure" option to mark certain roads.  In order to do that, I need to disconnect my phone from the receiver so I can access the full menu of options that includes the closure option.  Sometimes I can do the whole process because of traffic, but many other times it is impossible for me to do the entire sequence.  It would be AWESOME if you can include the CLOSURE option for the CarPlay reporting menu; I believe you guys have plenty of space.  In case you need to delete an option from such menu in order to include the CLOSURE option, then I guess you can erase the MAP ISSUE option since I am pretty sure very few people use it.  I hope this suggestion helps me and other drivers to report road closures rapidly without distracting ourselves from driving.  Cheers, and stay safe!

Same thing happens to Mexico City with protesters/demonstrators!
