Add closures with the Waze Map Editor

As a Waze partner, you can add closures to the map in advance or in real time to accommodate planned construction, large-scale events, accidents, emergencies or natural disasters. Planned closures will appear on the map only when they are relevant. Real-time closures appear on the map immediately.
