And my own boilerplate:

No response on UR

As there's been no response for some time, I'm closing this one. If there is still a problem, please submit a new map issue report.

More info needed

You reported a "general error". Waze provides map editors with limited information, so please provide more detail - what was the error?

You reported a "turn not allowed" issue. Waze provides map editors with limited information, so please provide more detail - which turn wasn't allowed? Was this a temporary restriction (due to construction) or is it posted as a permanent restriction?

You reported a "wrong driving direction" issue. Waze provides map editors with limited information, so please provide more detail - what were your start and end points, and where was the routing wrong?

You reported a "missing road" issue. Waze provides map editors with limited information, so please provide more detail - what road is missing?

Fixes

The problem is that Waze was getting the location of that address from Google Maps, where it is wrong. I've added the address to Waze; it will take 1-2 days for the map to update. Delete any saved searches you have in the Waze app for that address before trying again.

I have moved the navigation point for that address to the correct spot. It normally takes Waze's map and routing 1-2 days to update. Delete any favorites or saved searches you have in the Waze app for that address before trying again.

(Route 9) There's a known problem with the way Waze treats roads such as route 9 in that area, where there is a barrier but the road doesn't fit Waze's definition of a divided highway. In short, you'll be told to take turns through the barrier. You can read more about the issue here, if interested: https://www.waze.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=618&t=89218

Thanks for that detailed information. Unfortunately, the Live Map is providing only the more direct route on (fill in) today. This looks like one of those cases where the Waze routing engine, possibly due to reported traffic conditions and average speeds, decided to send you the roundabout way. Nothing that map editing would fix, I'm sorry to say.
