How are users to update maps when the roads are locked? I know how to fix this problem, but the road is locked keeping me from correcting this problem.

What is the solution? Only have power users make all the updates!?
It’s an issue with Waze’s map editor security model. Concern with this security model has been expressed many times. It is what it is at this time. Be careful what you wish for, Waze may make it worse…
If you become an area manager you can override the locks. Another option is to work really hard to accumulate enough edits to equal or outrank the Wazer(s) who are locking the roads.
I am on mobile now so I can’t unlock. I am sure someone will help you out shortly.
Unlocked!
Wow, that was fast. Thanks gerben! (almost spell checked to gerber!)
Yes, you unlocked one of the roads, but not the correct one. When a turn needs to be validated, the road being turned on must be unlocked. Please try again.
Unlocked 
As gettingthere said, be careful what you do. Don’t forget to lock the segment back.
I unlocked the segment you selected in the permalink…
Not at a PC now, will check later tonight.

Still missing a road to unlock at this address. There still is an intersection to validate the turns for.
I think I’ve unlocked it. Please hightlight the segment and paste the permalink again if there is still any.
Yes, you get them all. Updates have been made. Thanks.
