Road with new builds on it has name missing

Post by world_qgmmf7m9
Hi,

The road at https://www.waze.com/en/live-map/direct ... 7476959233 is currently listed as "No name". It should be "The Laneways".

I've tired editing it but since I cannot drive on it (my car is too wide), it seems like I cannot edit it myself. Can someone please help fix this? Thank you.

Hi, do you mean the access road behind Seymour Rd?
Can I ask where you have got the name from?

As a new editor you would be able to edit within 1 mile of anywhere you have driven with Waze open (some roads and places will be locked to a higher level), however there is currently a technical issue preventing Level 1 editors from being able to save their work.

"Hi Jon,

Thank you!

My friend just moved in to a property on this road, and got the name from his landlord. Their landlord has also made the same request on Google Maps, and we figured we should do the same for Waze.

Thanks,
Salman"

According to Findmyaddress, The Laneways is a property:
https://www.findmyaddress.co.uk/search? ... XgD2bpANk=

It's not on Findmystreet.

I suggest this is added as a Place Point with the street name of Seymour Rd.

I was looking at this earlier before I got distracted. 

I couldn't find any reference on the gazetteer or even land registry.

Any new road name needs to be approved by the local authority naming department. 

Can't just name a road whatever you like.
