We have been fixing them as they have been reported. I usually try to do the whole block when I get a report.
They will all be fixed eventually.
This is an easy mistake to make. Addresses were bulk imported into Waze - and since they are unverified, the search defaults to Google. If there’s blame, blame Google. However, the essence of Waze is as a crowd-sourced tool. We are the ones to help out to improve the Waze experience. This doesn’t magically happen - it takes a body of volunteers. Someone (non-Waze) might come up with a script that might be able to do just that - but there are quite a few things that can go wrong when working with addresses, and an automated tool still might not be all that helpful. As the previous poster responded, the people reading these forums and responding to URs keep fixing as we go. And we’ll continue to do so. If you’d be willing to help, it could make the job go faster 
I think there are some who have been actively working the addres corrections that may dispute the use of the term “most”. I know one editor that has a pretty extensive list of streets and areas where they have been corrected.
Either way, once fixed, it’s a job that doesn’t need to be done again. At some point, they will all get corrected.

Ok. Everyday I submit reports. In my case most addresses are wrong. Many times on one way street, which make it difficult get back on the right street. When I see the correct address it’s a miracle for me; even major streets have wrong addresses, the corner house usually will lead to the wrong street. The alley problem continues. I’ll continue to report.
Edit: To fix whole Chicago area will take many many years, unless alleys are deleted or/and street numbers fixed automatically.
Fixing these is just another artifact of the original maps. This is the role of the volunteer editing community. It’s kind of hard to imagine the state of the waze map even just a few short years ago. It won’t take as long as you think. Having enough editors motivated to improve the map - not just for house numbers - is the way waze operates. Deleting the alleys won’t solve all problems - it simply masks them.
Also, the issue of corner locations isn’t limited to residential. The fix for corner locations is perhaps even less automate-able. Corner addresses that have driveways/entrances on the other street actually require the use of a residential place point and removal of the house number on the non-accessible street. Rest assured, that continued reporting is the best way to improve the areas you drive in - without actually editing for yourself. It’s just a patience thing - which the vast majority of the wazing community doesn’t always grasp. We editors are also fellow wazers and experience the same frustrations. Thanks for your patience in reporting rather than simply giving up.
It’s very easy to imagine how good it would be from the start of Waze if only Waze used Garmin maps without alleys from the start. I’m constantly checking the last turns of Waze driving directions to the name of the street of my destination. It is usually an alley or another street; at least Waze leads to the general vicinity of the destination.
What’s more sad is that sometimes when I report wrong driving directions, Waze map editors refuse to fix it and say that it is correct and I’m wrong. For example, Union Station in Chicago, IL at the address 210 S Canal St, Chicago, IL. It is at S. Canal st. not on Adams St, why not just change/fix it to Canal St? No… Or how about Willis Tower? It is on S. Wacker Dr. Why it is still leads to Adams St? Nobody wants to fix it. It’s very hard to drive in traffic in downtown Chicago and monitor Waze craziness, while skyscrapers blocking the signal from satellites.
First, Garmin has intellectual property rights protections and would have required payment. You do understand that waze is based on the collective input of all users - including yours?
For example, I see that the address of 210 S Canal has never been touched by an editor - meaning I doubt that this was ever reported in sufficient detail to be fixed. It has been verified now. However, as undoubtedly you’ve been told before by way of reports, you will need to wait at least 48 hours (occasionally more), delete the current navigation result, and re-enter the address in order to refresh the GPS coordinates on your device. BTW, we also show an address of 225 S Canal for Union Station for Amtrak.
You also understand that we only have control over waze places and verified waze addresses? If you use name search, results from external search engines are returned to waze as the GPS coordinates from those results? Waze will attempt to use the street which gets closest to those coordinates.
There is one unfortunate consequence of this. When the google result is sufficiently different (wrong) than the waze location, the google location wins. That requires someone to actually report the bad location to google - subject to google verification. Since we don’t control google, if (as volunteer editors) we have the time, we can submit the correction to google, but we volunteer to maintain waze which doesn’t require us to include correcting google as well.
I can’t imagine most waze editors “refusing” to fix problems, tho we might not actually be able to accommodate recommendations for “best access” or “use this route” type feedback. However, we are all volunteer editors here. If an editor decides to close a report or indicate a lack of helpfulness, there isn’t much other editors can do unless you take the time to identify the responder and send a note to the Illinois State Manager as listed on the wiki.
Or, you can do what I did when I was frustrated at the lack of attention my reports were getting and get involved in the editing community in order to fix them myself. There’s a TON of resources that cover the items I’ve mentioned here as well as a bunch more topics.
That’s a lot of text. It would be better if street entered as a destination was the street on the destination. GPS navigators never go do different street or an alley.
Routing to a Waze address pin will route to the street it is attached to.
Google results will route to the closest street to the Google pin. Google doesn’t give waze a stop point on the road of the address, just a lat/long pin location.
