Freeway / Highway
Freeway and Highway are both translated to the same word in Dutch ('Snelweg'). In Waze however, these road types are mainly applied based on the amount of traffic they bear compared to other roads in the neighbourhood, the distance they serve in routing, and the passage possibilities. Therefore, a small local road can be defined a minor highway, and a normal street in a city that serves ongoing traffic as a major highway. This way of dealing with Road types is called Functional Classification (FC). Most of the roads that serve ongoing traffic, will be locked. Changes to these segments can only be made by experienced editors with a rank similar or higher than the lock level. If you think a change to a locked segment is needed, ask an editor with the appropriate rank, or place your request on the map modification forum in Belgium, the Netherlands, or Luxembourg.
