An Area Manager, AM for short, is a Waze community member (a user) who wishes to take an active and proactive role in maintaining specific areas of the Waze map. How deeply involved and how much time an Area Manager spends maintaining the Waze map varies greatly. Duties of an Area Manager include, but not necessarily limited to:

−

* Make changes to the map when road construction projects ~~complete~~ and ~~road~~ geometry ~~needs to be changed~~, or roads ~~added or removed from the map.~~

+

−

* Edit road construction areas, especially for closures so that users are not routed into those areas.

+

* Respond to and correct user update requests on the [[Update Requests in Waze Map Editor| Update Requests]] layer.

−

* Respond to and ~~act on Update Requests from Waze drivers~~.

+

* Process and resolve map errors/problems as shown on the [[Map Problems in Waze Map Editor| Map Problems]] layer.

+

* Make changes to the map when road construction projects start and finish by maintaining new geometry, adding or deleting roads and disconnecting and re-connecting ramps.

* Maintain speed and red-light cameras, processing reports of devices from Waze drivers.

−

* Process and resolve Map Errors or Problems as shown on that layer in the Waze Map Editor.

* Act as a mentor to other editors, offering advice in both the forums and when you see improper edits on the map.
