'Need ability to mark a map location and report an issue such as lane closure even when Waze driving is not active just by launching Waze and' has been merged into this idea

Reporting closures from further away

Closures can currently only be reported if you're right next to the road. I can't always report it because I'm on a roundabout or having to redirect quickly so as not to cause traffic. However, I can pull over a road or two away to report it but the app doesn't allow this since I can only report it if I'm on or next to the closed road.
I think this is an essential feature that needs to be added because sometimes there aren't diversion signs and I have to find my own way around it without waze because it'll tell me I can go down the closed road when I can't.

    I agree! It may be safer to report an incident when I am at a convenient place to stop, but I can't give an accurate report because I am not right there! I live half a mile from a stoplight, and ended up reporting a broken light in the wrong place because I didn't want to stop in the middle of traffic.

    Already a feature

    Turn on your visibility
    The report button should appear
    If not long press the screen near your position and route to it.

    Unless your asking to report something at a location on your drive, then yes agree a better solution is desired.
