How to get lock turned off on just one road

by **adamsmiley** » Fri Aug 10, 2012 3:47 pm

The interstate close to where I live is over 200 miles long and the state is changing the exit numbers because they are extending the road. I want to go change all the exits since I have driven this whole road. I have found a lot of the exits are locked so I can't change them. Is there a way the whole road and exits could be unlocked so I can update all the exits instead of just so of them?

I am an area manager for my town but this road is over 200 miles long. Also how do I became higher I'm already a 4 but don't know what it would take to move to 5 or 6.

You could try placing this request, including permalinks to the start and end point, into the "unlock requests" forum. Include relevant details such as state DOT project page or info to support many unlocks for a high value roadway.

Which I just updated with the latest permissions from today's editor update.

Are you a level 4 or do you see 4 cones in WME? (not the same!)

Not with the new permissions scheme (that was introduced today) if the lock is done by a higher level editor.

5 is not used, 6 is Waze staff.

Becoming an Area Manager doesn't solve everything, and isn't a responsibility that should be taken lightly. Please don't suggest it to new editors.
