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.

This Definitely should be a feature! Maybe make it a timed event, guaranteeing that it's applied during correct times or days. last night there was a closure of a major interchange heading a certain direction on a freeway. While waze said it was a quick navigation, people had reported lane closures, construction and emergency vehicles in that area as no one could say the interchange was closed until 4am, and that would help Waze to find alternate routes. Instead as you passed the interchange, Waze had to get off at the next exit, and get back on in the opposite direction to the interchange that was also closed off in the direction. I huge cluster mess....

PLEASE ADD THIS!!! It's impossible to mark when a road is blocked off other than to say a lane is closed or that there was a map issue — both are inaccurate and lead to people having to reply to my reports informing me that I used the wrong function.
I know it's not the right one but it's all I had available and I didn't want others to try the same route with the same issue.

This is becoming a major major issue -- 90%+ of people are using CarPlay and Android Auto to access Waze, and we had a big example of the lack of this feature becoming an issue just this Saturday in San Francisco: there were multiple unexpected road closures due to the St. Patrick's Day Parade, and literally no users were reporting the road closures because everyone was on CarPlay and Android Auto, so Waze kept sending people to road closures. Even 4 hours into it I didn't see any correctly reported road closures in San Francisco... I was told that part of the problem is Apple CarPlay limits the number of different interactions you can have -- I'd say this one is SO important it should immediately replace one of the existing ones...

My in car sat nav does not seem to see road closures as an option - but it appears on my phone app. But I can’t legally drive and use my phone to say the road is closed. Also be better if you had a quick button for potholes and road closure so it’s not recording it a mile down the road by the time yoh get through the menu. Or voice activate it.

also need the possibility of moving the pin to the site of the closure manually if you don't hit the button fast enough or can't mark it because you can't make the turn to the actual spot

Road Closures definitely needs to be available for Carplay for safety of the drivers and other cars on the road as well as to allow waze to provide an alternate route without sending us around in circles.

For sure! Otherwise it keeps re-routing back to the closure!

Need ROAD CLOSED back on CarPlay. Remove ROUNDABOUT, that’s an unnecessary option on CarPlay.

This needs to be added ASAP. Carplay keeps redirecting you several ways back to the closed road until you can find a safe place to stop, disconnect your phone from carplay, report road closed on phone, reconnect carplay. It's a huge hassle and usually not safe.

Please vote on the New Post, this one was closed in 2022.

I would love to have this. I experienced a 3 day road closure and there wasn’t an easy way to do it through car play.

It appears that i am unable to vote for this requested enhancement. Is it because the status has been set to NOT RIGHT NOW? Regardless, please enable reporting of road closures when using CarPlay.
I've seen it said that it is Apple blocking the implementation of this feature. However, Apple support is telling me that Waze should support all reporting features. Which is it, an issue with Apple or this still not being a high enough priority for Waze?

This problem with Carplay has been going on waaaaaaze too long. When we're driving, we need to be able to quickly & easily hit the buttons we've grown to expect to be there in the places we expect them to be after all these years. Can you please report this up the chain that it needs to be fixed? The report button needs "road closure" added to Carplay. Unsafe for me to be digging for and unplugging the phone just to find this button on the phone itself instead of on the heads up screen where it should be.

Agree, seems like an essential feature!

The only safe way to do this is via CarPlay

I can’t understand why the map try’s to have me cut through a subdivision it is not a closed road

David Gonzales commented
Please add this feature! I drove an extra hour because it kept rerouting me to the same exit 5 different ways!

I use waze a lot (400.000 points) and started using CarPlay now. I was super surprised that there is a feature gap between both use cases.
I just rehistered an account here to vote for this, as the missing functionality is a real deal breaker for me - I lost in the last week twice 20 min because of this and had to use a different Navigation app.
Super frustrating when waze still wants to route you back to the closed road.
