	The Waze Map Editor has a practice mode called Play mode in which you can perform nearly every action available when logged into the Editor, except that you cannot save any changes. In order to save changes, you must log in. Play mode is helpful to and should be used by users who are new to map editing in Waze.

	=== How to "Un-Split" two One-Way Roads ===		=== How to "Un-Split" two One-Way Roads ===
		+	I came here yesterday to solve a UR that would clearly be solved if I ‘Un-Split’ the road since it passed all the conditions. However, after following these instructions I ended up missing addresses on the south side of the road and had to go back and add them one-by-one….ouch.
		+
		+	After discovering what happened I found this discussion: http://www.waze.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=48787&hilit=merge
		+
		+	This discussion has videos from bgodette and step-by-step pictures from AlanOfTheBerg.
		+
		+	As this wiki section stands right now, you will lose half of your addresses when you preform step #1 below of the Original steps.
		+
		+	Here is a step that needs to be added to the new instructions:
		+
		+	After BOTH sides are merged into one, you need to re-align house number to the street so that it lines up with driveway/entrance of the building the bubble is over.
		+	# With the street/road selected, click ‘Edit house numbers.’
		+	# After the screen changes to enable house number editing, you need to select each house number one-by-one.
		+	# With the house number selected, you will notice the dashed line is attached to the dot down the street depending on the number of segments.
		+	# Select the dot and move it back to where it should be.
		+
		+	Since the above mentioned discussion is brand-new and active, I’m not going to change this section of the wiki below until all are in agreement.
		+
		+	Original wiki instructions follow:
		+
		+
	Sorry to say it, but there is no easy way to merge two one-way roads back into a two-way road--which is why you should always give a lot of thought before splitting a road in the first place. And then think some more.
