A new interchange has just been opened. The first people to edit are level 2 and the new features are locked level 2, but there are errors. I am level 1 but have time to make the changes.

Any Trinidad & Tobago area managers feel free to contact jah3pothole@yahoo.com for more information.

Another related question: With such a huge interchange being opened in one go, how can we get the GPS plots updated quicker, for the new cloverleaf ramps? The satellite basemap in WME is 6 years out of date, so there is no evidence of the construction shown! The GPS traces would help confirm the new ramps and overpass locations.

Drive it and then us your drive track information when it gets processed/posted in your drive tab.

Well, I now have an update for you:

I was involved in a motor vehicle accident at the interchange discussed in this thread. The other driver ran a red light and t-boned my car. He admitted fault in front of three police officers who were at the intersection and witnessed the crash.

I won’t try to blame the accident on the suggestion that I ‘drive’ the routes, because I was there for a totally unrelated reason.

Meanwhile, I am waiting for a rental car from the insurance company, so you might not see me Wazing on the road for a few days :frowning:

@jemay:

OK… I drove one of the three new ramps, and yes, the road shows up in my ‘drives’. But I still cannot edit the road entered by a level-3 wazer where he tried to estimate the location of the road.

So how did driving the route help me?

Ask to have the other road unlocked. I am not able to because I don’t have rights…

Hi @VAPothole,

Was your situation rectified? I’m a lvl 2 editor, and would be able to temporarily unlock segments within my rank, only if needed.

From the initial link you posted, the “Link to Uriah Butler Ext (N), Valsayn, Trinidad and Tobago” was selected. If you still need access, could you please indicate which segments you would need unlocked?

Thanks.

Thanks for the reply.

I will re-visit the map and confirm that the editing is still needed: As you know, there has been a lot of work around that specific area in the last few months, so it may have been updated by someone else since I posted.

(Please drop a note to jah3pothole (at) yahoo (dot) com so I can contact you directly if editing still needed.

Not a problem, will do.

ok, here is a problem i encountered, from arima on the crh(w) i want to get to grand bazaar the app tells me to go way past gran bazaar n down south to the caroni savannah road n den back up north to the fly over by bamboo… some needs to address the road entries to get dere… i’m a level 1 so i cannot edit them, it is locked. plz fix soon

After 7 months of driving and editing Waze maps, I am disappointed to see that I am only one quarter of the way to getting to level 2. Very frustrating.

I have passed on my particular issues around CRH/UBH to a level 2 wazer and also let him know of your posting about the approach to Bamboo.

Good luck.
