Helena MT area mistakes. Lack editing permissions please fix

Post by Askit2
I have found a new Interstate exchange. I have edited roads around it to correct for old data and make the routing actually work for that area again. I have done everything except connect the Freeway onramps. I do not have permissions. I have driven this repeatedly. I have been within 30 feet of most of it. I still lack permissions because someone locked it. I know I am new but I have fixed many roads. I found two that in the past I can not fix one is here

The other is a roundabout that has been in existence for 4 years and instead of that it has two L shaped roads with maybe a driveway looking connector in it. This makes routing tell me the next turn would be a right turn(incorrect as it is a roundabout and before roundabout would have been left) because it sees the whole things as ONE ROAD. It is not. I have tried editing it 5 or 6 times Repeated permissions errors. IF I can not fix it at least whomever locked it should fix it would make sense
Here is the link. https://www.waze.com/editor/?zoom=8&lat ... s=24228976
It isn't that I dislike the idea of people locking sections to prevent poor editing but I am willing to bet I can do better then what is there. I am willing to bet anyone could. Please fix these errors. They are obnoxious. More will likely show up as another interchance is being setup and I will be unable to edit that one as well. Thanks for the help.

second link N bound highway 282 appears not to have been unlocked 1/3 of the roundabout disappeared when I saved. Before I saved everything looked good. If I mouse over the roundabout lights up blue. It is unlikely to be a problem. I will recheck later.

I've removed the locks. The first one was warranted... it fits the current usage for locks which is to protect critical infrastructure.

As this was probably not in place when banished locked them, at the time it was proper.

The second one, probably was not originally locked by banished, but instead he was the last one to edit and that is all we can see.

After fixing the interstate please lock it back up (I presume that you will name all the ramps and overpass so they are not in a red state).

Looks like sync issue. Editor melt down again.

Still looks locked on my end also, but when I tried to unlock it again, got the some elements have been saved or modified message.

Going to just have to wait on this one, till the backend catches up.
