Add report road closure to CarPlay
Tried to report two road closures on my commute recently, couldn’t find the option on Apple CarPlay! I ended up reporting a map issue since it was the only option I could find that made sense, but the report was rejected and I was told to use the closure feature on my phone Waze app instead. Please add this feature to CarPlay - Waze CarPlay users cannot switch to their phones to do this safely!

This ability to mark road closures is the only real featurestetting Waze apart from other apps but since "upgrading" to carplay and losing this critical feature (especially where I live) means that I might as well make the switch to Apple maps or Google maps. Very disappointing 😕
I also second other posts asking why the 2019 request is no longer accepting votes ??

The previous post is started in 2019, this option still does not exist. Why is this being ignored? There is room enough on the screen and also there are other options way less useful on the "report issue" screen.

A lot of road closures in the area recently. I had to disconnect carplay because it kept trying to direct me back through closed roads.

I can’t for the life of me figure out why this exists in the app when just using my phone but is completely inaccessible when using CarPlay. You can select a lane closure, but I am consistently driving around Brooklyn, NY and because of a street fair or construction, entire roads will be blocked, sometimes for the day, sometimes for a few hours. If I disconnect from CarPlay, I can report it as such, but while using CarPlay, I can’t. I’m certainly not going to disconnect while I’m driving. This seems like a major issue, especially since when I’m unable to report why I d didn’t continue on the route, most of the time, Waze just tries to get me back to the route instead of looking no for a way around, and that basically makes Waze completely unusable until it decides to catch up because I’m moving further away by the second.
I’ve seen something people write that it’s a limitation set by Apple with CarPlay, but that makes absolutely no sense since it’s already a function in the iOS app, and you can report everything else, including lane closures. What’s the deal? -

I live in Pennsylvania where the 5th season is Road Work & having the road closure option on CarPlay is essential especially when one pops up out of the blue.

This would be a huge benefit. There is ongoing construction issues in my area daily and every weekend and waze does not give good directions because road closures cannot be reported.
