Real time closures View history

Revision as of 07:29, 8 February 2013 by MediaWiki default (talk) (Updated time frame for map updates.)

Roads may be partially or completely closed in one or both directions

  • If this will be for more than a few days, you should edit the map.

(NOTE: The current time frame for map tile generation is every few days on the North America server and about a week on the International server.)

  • Don't forget to edit the map back when the road partially or completely reopens.
  • If a road is closed, it is recommended to disconnect the section of road that is closed.
  • If one direction of a road is closed, change the road type to "One-Way" and also put a turn restriction as appropriate on junctions with the road.
  • There is no need to edit the map for lane closures.
  • If the road is slower than usual, Waze will learn the average road speed has fallen and make automatic road reports
  • If there is an official detour route, Waze will learn about it as you drive it
  • You should check all surrounding roads are mapped properly and have correct directionality and connectivity so that Waze can find the best detour.
