The specific details of the Area Manager role are currently under review within the Waze community. Some of the information below is currently out of date. Please review the forums for more information. Once the role changes are finalized, this section will be updated as required.

An Area Manager, AM for short, is a Waze community member (a user) who wishes to take an active and proactive role in maintaining specific areas of the Waze map.

Respond to and correct user update requests on the Update Requests layer.
Process and resolve map errors/problems as shown on the Map Problems layer.
Make changes to the map when road construction projects start and finish by maintaining new geometry, adding or deleting roads and disconnecting and re-connecting ramps.
Maintain speed and red-light cameras, processing reports of devices from Waze drivers.
Act as a mentor to other editors, offering advice in both the forums and when you see improper edits on the map.
