*[[File:Closure arrow in WME.png|right]] '''Road Closures''' - Road Closures can be enter in WME, or through the client as you drive by them. Details about entering closures through the client are covered in the next bullet point item. The [http://docs.google.com/forms/d/1oGINt4UEkBV0Par5VCingXzTZpJq9KjG8GbZpGqbRow/viewform Road Closures Form (USA)] (or a similar form for your country) 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. These display in the client and Livemap with alerts and candy stripes on the segments notifying users of the closures. <br>'''Due to its' safety and visibilty, this is the preferred method for closing a road.''' <br>Editors who do not have access to add closures in WME can request a higher ranking editor to help using a designated request format, or the unlock/update request for their country.

*[[File:Closure report button in client.png|75px|right]] '''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.

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.
* '''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).
