Welcome to Waze Map Editing

Important Information for All Editors

RULE NUMBER 1 : DO NOT DELETE SEGMENTS!!!!!

EVAR!!!. This destroys data in waze. Do not delete segments. The data is very important to waze routing and once you delete a segment the data is deleted and we cannot revert this. I'll say it again DO NOT DELETE SEGMENTS!

If you find a road that does not appear in reality in any way please consult your AM or higher editor before removing the segment. You will always have a better reputation for asking before deleting something.
