Mix of odd and even house numbers on same side of street

Post by Craig-S
I was trying to update the address and house number for a business at 1753 S Belt Line Rd, Dallas, Texas as I tried to navigate there and it put me in a public neighborhood a couple blocks away. I tried to update the mad to add a house number, but it says I can't and something about wrong side of the street. At this intersection there is an address of 1800 and 1811 right beside it which is obviously wrong. The 1800 address is wrong as the even numbers are across the street. Can someone remove the 1800 and possibly the "forced" 1811 so I can update with more correct positions and add 1753 as well.

I am having this same issue where odd/even numbers are on the same side of the street and cannot be entered properly.

That's exactly the conflict and the constant source of frustration for newer-ish editors: the battle of map protection vs. abilities of new editors. All you need right now is to apply for Area Manager rights and you're golden. I think that's a good enough compromise.

Nice detail, but you put this request in the wrong forum.... Search for the US update forum.

yes, it is frustrating as there are several streets very close to me where the house numbers are sequential on one side of the street, there is simply no way for me to enter them so those streets won't get house numbers until a L3 or higher comes along and puts them in, or I become a L3 and remember to go back to those streets (not likely any time soon.)

I'm not sure why Waze decided that only L3s and higher could force addresses, but at the same time you probably don't want complete n00bs doing it either. Maybe L2 would be a better compromise? Just so many addresses that need to be forced in my area, it'll never be right unless lower level editors can force.

Good point, but I doubt I personally have enough edits even for that (don't you need 5K? I am somewhere between 2K and 3K) and where I live already has an AM - in fact he PM'd me when he saw me making a lot of edits, and as a result of that discussion we've been going back and forth about how to handle some of the more obnoxious things the county did with road naming and addressing, so that's working out well. I actually did some changes yesterday as a result of one of those discussions and a trial run, those changes should be live soon hopefully.
