Restricted area
Waze does not provide a route through a restricted area. Only when the destination is in the area is a route offered into the area and it is reported that they are going to enter a restricted area.
Note: Only level 5 map editors can maintain restricted areas.
Via a WME map layer it is possible to activate and deactivate the display of restricted areas.

FAQ
What happens when a polygon intersects a segment?
>> The whole segment will be considered as restricted, so make sure to check the polygon borders and split segments where needed.

>> Yes, just select the area and then create the permalink. At the end of the PL you will see ‘&restrictedDrivingAreas=ID’
Do the Restricted Areas have edit history?
>> Yes of course, as any other map element you will be able to see the edit history in the left panel
Do we need a tile build for the areas to be effective?
>> Yes, as any map edit the areas will be effective only following a successful tile build.
