Hi @goelmyself ,

In Google Maps, in the top left, click Menu

Then choose Traffic the 5th option, as can be seen in the screenshot below:

As for the report an option: Please force a log-out on your devices by clicking on the Log Out button in the UI, clear browser cookies/cache, and Log back in.

I hope this was helpful.

In Spanish.

Hola. Hay otra opción para entrar a “tráfico” en Maps, además de la citada por @VasT .

Si tu estas en Android:

Abre Google Maps.
En la parte superior derecha de tu teléfono Android, tu veras tu foto de perfil o el micrófono.
Debajo de ellos, aparece la opción de capas. Su ícono es como un cuadrado girado con los vértices hacia arriba y una V debajo que lo sostiene.
Presionas sobre este ícono y te aparecen dos cosas: Tipo de mapa y detalles de mapa.
En detalles de mapa, veras que dice "tráfico " .
Presiona sobre “tráfico” y ya puedes trabajar en el tema.

Deseo que esta forma de acceso a “trafico” sea de tu ayuda.

Si necesitas ampliar la información, te puedo enviar una captura de pantalla.

@LuaPL ,

thanks, at last, i was able to find the correct method to report road closures!

@goelmyself , yes the screenshot shows instructions for a desktop PC. One option to turn on the traffic layer on Android is the one that @LuaPL has mentioned.

Another option is to:

Open the Google Maps app.
On the bottom of the screen, tap Commute

P.S. Please note, that your comment is now a post in how-tos, as it might be helpful for other Local Guides when searching for the same question on Connect.

Unfortunately, this is so incomplete an answer that it is completely useless. Can’t anyone give a complete, step-by-step description of how to notify someone about road closures of traffic problems?

Hi @tedmcmichael

You can report a road closure:

Through “send a feedback”

You can report traffic problems, during the navigation
