Road Closed

Report an Accident or Construction on Google Maps

Posted by My Town Website Development

If you are aware of an accident or construction zone creating a lane or road closure, you can report it on Google maps. This will help ease traffic around the scene as Google will re-route people away from the affected area. Not everyone uses Google Maps, but those that do will thank you. (I always put in my destination, even when driving locally. It’s saved me numerous times. Once I started listening to it that is.) Below, you will find 7 easy steps for submission.
