Hi achuman,

Unfortunately I missed this, any reports on how it was client side?

What I would suggest is that we handle it via Mega Traffic Events for next year.
Unfortunately, the route map was not available when I checked it out earlier. By the time this was posted, I also did not have much free time at home and can unfortunately not access the Google Doc from work, apart from the fact that we likely need to give Waze somewhat more of a heads-up regarding closures etc.

The benefit of handling it as an event is that Wazers in the vicinity will get live notifications, routes and road closures is handled in the back-end without the need for us to fiddle with the map to return it to a 'usable' state afterwards. I understand that parking facilities for the event can also be done, indicating where park is available for contestants etc.

You can check out some other events at the Waze Mega World Traffic Events web page.

I'm not sure if Momentum or 94.7 would have any issues with us covering the event in a non-official capacity, or whether Waze can perhaps get some bonus mentions & visibilty around this.
MapIT was one of the 'official' partners with quite a decent site and support around it, but seems more focused on the actual contestants instead of the other road users. From what I can see they are powered by Tom-Tom, so there might be some 'documentation' with a few signatures in place ..

I'll pop a mail off to the organisers and see if we get some positive feedback. In the end, we'll likely still cover it no matter what they say
