Do driving areas expire?
In March 2013 I created Awaroa Stream Drive, Waiuku, New Zealand, whilst visiting some friends.
But now this road does not appear to be within my driving areas.

On the right side of the jpg you can see the boundary of my driving area. This is from a later trip to that area but didnโt visit the friends.
Has WAZE lost my march driving area?

Unfortunately they expire. Yes.
I think itโs 90 days.
Youโll find that in the wiki/ and FAQ too.

How long before editable areas disappear?
Editable areas are usually available for the drives you did in the last 1 months.
After 1 months, you will need to drive over the roads again in order to get the permissions again.

From memory it used to be 3 months?
What about areas you manage, I wonder when they expire? (level 3)
