Unlock request in New Orleans, Louisiana

Post by dwbwriter
Hi Editors,

I would like to be able to edit the following segment(s).
Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Permalink: https://waze.com/en-US/editor?env=usa&l ... s=62695886
Reason: We need to change in the map that Exit 12B (O'Keefe) is now 12D, and exit 12D (Calliope) is now 12B.
Unlock to level: I don't know what level. This is my first time but the exit numbers and signs are all changed.

Thank you in advance,

David Brown

Hey David!

I’m mobile right now, so I can’t handle the request just yet. But I want to confirm first, did they finally remove all the old signs? I know they had inconsistent signage up for the last few months.

Great. Apologies for the delayed response, I was out of town over the weekend and catching up on email now.

We have 2 options here: if you really want the experience, I can coordinate an unlock for you, but I don't want to leave these important ramps unlocked for any extended period of time.

As an alternative, I can make these edits myself, only because these are high value and sensitive segments.

I know this is kind of extending the fix, but I don't want to deprive you the edits if you want to make them.

Great. Looks like O'Keefe is already correct, but I have unlocked these three westbank-bound ramps for you so you can try your hand at fixing them: https://waze.com/en-US/editor?env=usa&lat=29.94912&lon=-90.08362&s=241662285303&zoomLevel=16&segments=21163383,57605560,21155765 and you can fix the numbers on those 3 exits (westbank-bound). The correct exit numbers are 13A-B (not 13B-A) for the Superdome / Claiborne exit, 12D (not 12C) for Loyola, and 12B (not 12D) for Carondelet / St. Charles.

If you're interested in map editing generally as well, we would like to extend an invitation to our South Central Region Discord Chat Server https://discord.gg/CXtzyEN. This is a great way to meet fellow editors and senior editors, learn more about Waze editing and connect yourself with the Waze community.
