If a road closure is part of a larger event, it can be submitted to Waze as a Major Traffic Event (MTE). MTEs are generally determined by the scale of the event and how many people will be impacted. The closures should be submitted using the MTE sheets provided or the WME Closure tool (available to editors rank 4 and above in most communities). This way Waze is able to track the closures and help spread the word.

Major traffic event

A Major Traffic Event (MTE) or Major Event (previously called a Mega Event) is an event that includes road closures and is large enough in scale to impact a significant portion of people in an area. The closure should be submitted using the form linked on the bottom left of the Major Events page (seen on the right) or using the WME Closure tool (available to rank 4 editors and above). This way Waze is able to track the closures and help spread the word.

To receive further support from Waze (website and/or push notifications to client app + inbox message) for an MTE closure, the event must be submitted at least 48 hours in advance of the event.

Helpful information to have for submissions are as follows:

  • Name of Event
  • Website for event
  • Roads which will be affected (not required)
  • Location
  • Start and End Date
  • Start and End Time (if available)

All MTE submissions are posted to the Major Event page noted above so that other editors in your area can find the name for an event and mark the closure consistently.

Major Events page

As noted above, all MTEs are listed on the Major Events page linked at the top of the Waze homepage.


Once submitted, the Major Events page will include a link on the main event map to the event. The event details include a list of each street closure including the times of their closure. A calendar highlights the times of each day that have a closure for this event.


Additional support

If an MTE affects a significant portion of the local population, Waze further supports that event by providing local push notifications, inbox messages, social media announcements and/or website features on the Major Events page on Waze.com. For an event to be considered for inclusion in the following week's push/inbox messaging, all closure information must be received by the Wednesday prior to the event.
