Waze took you the wrong way? You can fix it yourself.
The map in Waze is edited by people like you. A missing road, a turn restriction that's wrong, a closure that's no longer there: you can fix all of it in the online editor, with the same account you use in the app.

Start close to home
At level 1 you can edit up to 1.6 km from where you've driven with Waze. A more experienced editor reviews some of your edits.
How you move up
We're all volunteers. We edit the map in our free time, so an answer on Slack can take a while. If nobody replies in a day or two, ask again. You don't have to be an expert, just a driver who pays attention.
Editor levels
With experience you can edit a bigger area and take on harder things. Moving up depends on the quality of your edits, how present you are in the community and how well you work with others.
