* '''Road Closures form''' - The [http://docs.google.com/forms/d/1oGINt4UEkBV0Par5VCingXzTZpJq9KjG8GbZpGqbRow/viewform Road Closures Form (USA)] is to be filled for closures related to construction, work closures and emergency closures. This form is to be used by all editors who do NOT have direct access to the Waze Road Closure system. US Champs and State Managers will review requests entered and will be submitted to Waze if approved. Other countries may have a separate Road Closure Form.
*[[File:Closure arrow in WME.png|right]] '''Temporary Closures''' - Temporary Closures can be entered in WME, or through the client as you drive by them. ''See next item for Closures report from client.'' Closures can be added to segments in WME by high ranking editors, without actually modifying the segment, or its turn restrictions.

* '''Temporary road closures''' - Users in the client app can mark an unexpected road closure they see while driving. It is typically used for unexpected, short term closures of a few days. Currently this feature is only available in the client application and requires multiple users be at the location to enter the same road closure information on the map before it will be seen by other drivers. Once this feature is available in [[WME]] it will have more use.
*[[File:Closure report button in client.png|75px|right]] '''Closures report from the client''' - Users in the client app can mark an unexpected road closure they see while driving. It is typically used for unexpected, short term closures of up to a few days. This feature requires multiple users at the location to enter the same road closure information on the map before it will be seen by other drivers.
* '''Scheduled restrictions''' - A new feature recently added to WME. Used when turns or roadways are restricted for certain times of day, days of the week, vehicle types, etc. It has the ability to only restrict during a specific date range, so it can be used in place of mega events or temporary road closures if necessary.
*[[File:Restriction arrow yellow mouseover.gif|50px|right]] '''Partial restrictions''' - ''AKA Scheduled or Time-Based Restrictions.'' Used when turns or roadways are restricted for certain times of day, days of the week, vehicle types, etc. It has the ability to only restrict during a specific date range, so it can be used in place of mega events or temporary road closures if necessary (as a last resort).
* '''Disconnect road segments''' - Road segments should only be physically disconnected if the road is no longer intended to connect or is being permanently removed. In the past, this method was used for longer term construction projects, but now the Road Closure form should be used.
* '''Disconnect road segments''' - '''''Road segments should only be physically disconnected if the road is no longer intended to connect or is being permanently removed.''''' In the past, this method was used for longer term construction projects, but now the Road Closure feature should be used.
