I think it depends on how critical that bridge or tunnel is.

If there is some work that is going to close down a freeway for a weekend, then MTE for sure. Also, if it's a bridge that carries a lot of traffic across a river in the middle of a city, especially if the next nearest bridge is miles away, MTE for sure.

But if it's just a bridge in the middle of a rural highway that's gonna be closed for a few hours or even a couple days, I don't think it's really MTE worthy.

So why am I not seeing any covered events? Certainly you must have done one other than the Tour de France.

How do I know if the event I submitted was picked up?
Bumping my own post in hopes of a reply.
Amit has told me only about 6 or so events on their website will be covered there, all other events submitted through the form will be handled through client side.

"...we use the events.waze.com to only 5-6 major events which will create major traffic events."

So submit events, it will still benefit client users.

Probably been mentioned, but scrambling here...what time zone is being used? Should I assume that in the form? I don't remember it specifying that so I just put the local time. So are the events posting in advance and will last through the event end anyways? Some questions I guess I am not sure of. Thanks!

What happened to not posting in old threads..

All the information in this thread is from 2013-2014 and mostly outdated.

There are new features and resources now regarding events, it's no longer only managed through online forms and spreadsheets.

Waze staff would get any submissions in here and if they need to notify Champs about something I'm sure they would do it through the Staff CM of each community like it happened before.

There is https://www.waze.com/events/unready

A few days ago I was in the unfortunate position of trying to get to an event and Waze was unable to navigate me to the desired location due to a large amount of road closures for the actual event. Waze is still new in South Africa and did not know you could report public events. A few days after the event I was talking to the guys in the office and as i said "if only Waze could manage reporting events" i fount the report event button. I would however preferred capturing the event details prior to getting there in order to easily have navigated around without driving down each closed road. I look forward to when this kind of pro-active reporting will be switched on.
