Ad option closed road to traffic hazards and accidents
Ad option closed road to traffic hazards and accidents. So that people know that the road ahead is closed en they could be automatically rerouted around the closed road
Great thinking! The issue you raised has been addressed in a recent redesign. Hope you like it!

Already exists.
App: construction or road closed to mark a road closed right now for today.
Map editor: select the road segment and add restriction that has a known start and end datehttps://wazeopedia.waze.com/wiki/Global/Partial_restrictions#Segments

Current and updated road closure information is ESSENTIAL. Last week's I95 (major highway!!) closure in the Washington DC area was not noted on the app AT ALL and I was routed directly into the disaster area. Waze SHOULD have been routing drivers toward alternate roads, like 81. I'm sure I was not the only one majorly snarled in the mess, which could have been completely avoided. MAJOR FAIL, WAZE.

This seems to be already implemented, but should given option to select roads just passed so I don't have to stop traffic behind me while I enter on Waze.

Make it so that when a Road is closed, that there is an option to declare this and then Waze will find alternative route/warn others

Waze lets you mark roads as closed at intersections, but not in the middle of a road. A number of times I've been driving on a road only to find a tree has fallen across it or a major accident has closed all lanes.

I would like the ability to specify closures on the motorway for example if M6(S) J17-18 is closed then it would be good to do that so Waze can find best route to avoid trying get on to a certain junction.

This is desperately needed

It would be useful to know how long the road is closed for

It would be useful to be able to mark the closed roads on the map in order to avoid them, also, to have the ability to program the time period when these roads won't be available.
The rest of the users could receive a notification of the blocked track, so they can accept and even vote for the notification, so they can avoid the route and skip false warnings.

Sometimes due to some events like the construction of a bridge, an excavation or a festivity, some roads are closed. It would be useful to be able to mark the closed roads on the map in order to avoid them, also, to have the ability to program the time period when these roads won't be available.

There is a train accident on a road I travel. The only other way around is 30 miles the other way. Need the ability to post a roadblock so that waze won't use that road or at least an option to find a route that avoids that section of highway. I saw a lot of wazers before that accident and few after. Three weeks of incorrect directions appears to have discouraged some users. Clicking routes does nothing because the only other way around is thirty miles out of the way.

To add to this I recently was diverted off a dual carriageway that was closed between 2 junctions for repairs. The divert road was still operational, so I could not flag that as closed, so I really needed to be able to indicate that a portion of road that I was not on was closed. If it was possible to select portions of road to apply reports to it would help, rather than only where you actually are.

I was in a construction zone where they merged the north bound interstate traffic with the south bound interstate traffic. During those several miles, Waze was very confused. It did, however, know that I was in the south bound lane.
Can we have Waze detect this and figure out on its own that the area is a construction zone? Then mark it as long term? The company can use Waze to monitor it. And the app would not get confused and give weird directions during those miles.

Besides being able to point report something (not just being able to report on current location... after all you are in a car moving). Add the option of "closed road". aka, you can't go through here, seek alternatives.

Add the ability to report a road closed when I encounter a road block.

Excellent idea!
Clark W. Griswold could have used this feature in Vacation :)
