Road Closure Guidance

Map Editors Community Traffic Events and Crisis Response

Hi,

How far in advance do I have to notify Waze about road closures for a major event in my city. I submitted a request on 26/09/17 for an event on 01/10/17 but it was declined.

Thanks

Email from Waze:

Unfortunately, after careful consideration, we are unable to publish this event. Possible causes for this decision may be:
• The event does not cause official road closures
• The event date is too close for us to take proper action
• Insufficient information provided
• The reported event is a crisis. If this is the case, please report it in your country Forum

To get the full package from Waze it needs about 2 weeks from submitting the eventuntil the event starts. But to submit an MTE in the WME you need to raise an MTE and add closures.

For further assistance please contact your local community!

Your best bet would be to work with your local editing community.
