Help Needed - Mega Traffic Events

Post by Timbones
Mega Traffic Events is a mechanism that Waze introduced whereby road closures for large events can be programmed in to the map in advance. These can be submitted via the website. See this thread for more details on how it works.

One of the problems with this process is that the event sheets often don't get completed by the person who submitted them, and so they end up getting done by "staff". Sometimes they do a good job, sometimes not so much. I think we can do better!

So, I shall be publishing details of upcoming events to this forum here, where anyone enter in the necessary details. I know some of you are already familiar with how to do it, but if you're new to this then please view the How To Guide that Waze have provided. You don't need to have edit rights for the area, but you do need a good eye for detail and ensure all the closures are correct.

Go get 'em!

On the How to guide the second item says "Provide data in the Event Spreadsheet provided via email."

How do we get an event Speadsheet?

I have just added 2 to the Mega Traffic events and if what lsin023 says is correct I will fill in the form for both of them.

Once the details of the Mega/Major Traffic Event submitted via this MTE form and accepted by Waze, the Event Spreadsheet link is emailed to the submitter and also published on Waze MTE mini-site ;)

I include a link to the spreadsheet in each forum thread I create, though I admit I haven't been keeping up with them recently :(
(Perhaps because there haven't been any new ones)
