Hi,
I recently put my street on the map as it wasn’t there. Everything seemed to go fine but not there’s no turn arrows in or out the street.
It’s in the UK, Church Tower View, Huddersfield.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi and welcome to the forums. I located your added road here.
The reason you couldn’t attach it to Lidget St it that the main road is auto-locked to level 3. Waze has an automatic locking system to protect the busiest roads and level 3 is above your level 1. I’ve attached Tower View and enabled all turns.
A couple of minor notes. Firstly, the segment type should not be primary street. Given that it’s barred by a gate, we would normally use Private Road. It actually makes no difference at all to routing, because it’s a dead end - so if the destination is there, Waze will use it anyway and it can’t be used to get to some other segment. It does make a difference to the appearance in the app: being primary street will make it stand out unnecessarily, whereas private road will be slightly less prominent than a standard street.
The other note is about the speed limit. Although we don’t generally worry about speed limits on private roads, there’s no reason not to set them if there’s a clearly posted speed limit. However, from Google Street View, I can’t see any such signs. I realise it hardly matters with a single, private dead end to which hardly anyone else will drive to; but if the map editing bug infects you, it’s worth picking up good habits from the start.
