What should I do about this:

I'm inclined to leave it, since it won't affect routing and it's kind of funny.

I never knew they put an airport here: https://www.waze.com/editor/?zoom=5&lat ... rks=263040

I'll fix it. But man it's a good thing pilots don't use Waze....

OH MY GOODNESS. I'm surprised they have not yet had any cars on the runways there!

I've scanned over and none of the mapped taxiways/runways junction into the streets. So that's good. I'm more concerned with the airport across town where there ARE some roads that tie into the taxiway/runway system.

That actually was in Fairbanks where I spend most of my time and the first thing I did on hearing it was make sure Waze wasn't routing people that way. :)
The best part of that whole thing was a total of three people drove onto the runway, including one state representative, and one guy who knew it was wrong but was trying to recreate the first mistake. Apple turned off the directions after the first incident but then turned them back on without fixing the issue and without informing the FAA or the Fairbanks airport.

People should just follow the navigation instructions and quit being freakin' whiners. Get over it.

And this is one of the generally-accepted kludges we do because we don't have an intersection object yet. Pin Ehud and Ohad down on how and when that is going to be available. Then we can stop all the whining and kludging. :D

Nope. Just a Waze unconfirmed road added by orbitc last March.
