In order to prevent malicious editing, users may only edit items within 1 mile of any GPS Point that they have been to in the last three months. Any items that are located 100% outside of the 1 mile radius cannot be edited. Some items may be locked, such as major highways, or roads prone to malicious editing, and only Area Managers, Waze Contractors and Waze Staff can edit the item.
Future development plans are to increase the maximum radius as you become more trusted in the system. Currently, the Waze.com introductions mention this feature, but it is not implemented.
