construction zone stays until construction finishes option
add start/end date option for long-term construction zones
Many road construction and lane reduction projects remain active for days or weeks, but Waze temporary reports disappear after only a few hours.
This creates a major issue because users must repeatedly re-report the same construction zone every day, and once the alert disappears Waze begins routing traffic directly through that delayed area again.
Example: if a city construction sign clearly states lane closure or road work for 30 days, users should be able to submit a construction report with an optional expiration date or duration.
Suggested improvement:
Allow users or map editors to choose:
• construction active today only
• active for 3 days
• active for 7 days
• active until selected end date
This would help Waze keep routing accurate during long-term lane reductions, prevent unnecessary traffic backups, and avoid sending drivers into known 5 to 15 minute lineup zones once daily reports expire.
This would be especially useful in growing cities with constant utility and roadwork projects.
