Add a new street

I’ve tried adding my street, which was new about 3 years ago and up to date at the County, but each time after drawing it in, when I save I get a message saying I don’t have access. How can I let an editor know what to update? It’s a street that isn’t on the map at all.

Let us know exactly where it is so we can get the correct answer. A permalink to the location would be ideal

I think this is the right permalink: https://waze.com/en-US/editor?env=usa&lat=45.59663&lon=-122.29328&s=137542876483&zoomLevel=17

the street is SE 371st Court

Yes, that is a good permalink.

I’ve added the street with the three house numbers I saw. Please let us know if anyhting looks incorrect still. It will take a few days for the changes to become live in the Waze app.

If you would like to communicate directly with local editors in Washington, you can either post in the Washington forum or join the editor’s chat in Discord using this invitation link.

Looks like maybe you got the street in the wrong spot. Where I’m seeing it now is actually our driveway. SE 371st is to the left of the barn you can see, left of the house. In the photo, it looks like a field. That area is all developed now. I had blocked off part of the road that was on our property that isn’t there now to prevent traffic from going through our driveway and into our yard.

Ok, can you refresh and tell me if that looks better?

If you would, please add a map comment over where the whole street should be (similar to what you did here). Without an updated satellite view or any official resources, it is difficult to guess correctly. Thanks!

Yes, much better! Is there a way for me to add the addresses now? There are several houses on the street. Thanks so much!!

And - one more thing - it looks like its a road to the right of our house and its actually just a driveway that is considered closed. Is it possible to remove it?

If you select the road, you can scroll down in the left panel and choose “Edit house humbers”. I added the two that I could see.

Do you no longer have a driveway there at all? I added the private road with a residential place for the 3415 address so it routes correctly. If that is completely gone and you now enter from the new road, I can remove it. Otherwise, rest assure that the only time anyone will get routed there is for that one address. It is private.
