Navigation App Waze Adds Road Closure Reporting Feature, Says It Now Has 40M Users

Waze, the app that uses crowdsourced data to build its maps and provide real-time traffic information, is introducing a new feature today allowing users to report road closures. This seems like a pretty natural extension of what Waze does ? drivers could already report things like accidents, so this is just giving them another way to get important information into the system. In fact, spokesperson Michal Habdank-Kolaczkowski told me that users were already doing in an ad hoc way, where the names of roads would be edited so they said (for example), "Capitol Ave CLOSED FOR CONSTRUCTION."
