You can only set turn arrows if both segments involved have a lock rank less than or equal to your editor rank.  Even if a junction has a segment connected to it locked above your editing rank, you can add or remove any segment you can edit at that junction. You can set the lock rank anywhere between 1 and your editor rank on any segment or place you can edit.

Restriction

There are restrictions on your permission to edit. For more information, please see Editing restrictions

Editing area
You can edit segments, places, and junctions, and close map problems and update requests within your editing area. You gain editing area near where you drive, and by being granted managed area as an area manager or map raid participant.
Rank 1 Editor Restrictions
Rank 1 editors cannot delete segments (except ones they created themselves), cannot close URs or MPs.


Lock rank
Segments, places, and comments can be locked. You can only edit these objects if they have a lock rank less than or equal to your editor rank. For more information on turn arrows and junctions connected to segments locked above your rank, please see Editing_restrictions#Manual_segment_lock
Difficult turns
Difficult turns can be set by editors rank 3 and up.
Staff place locks
Sometimes, Waze staff lock places, often in preparation for an ad campaign. The effect is as if the place is locked above the rank of all other Waze editors, but the lock is not visible in WME.
Trusted place editor status
Editors below rank 2 and non-registered client users need approval from a rank 2 or higher editor for all places regardless of the lock rank, until they reach a trusted status. After currently unpublished place approvals, they become trusted editors and their places no longer need approvals. Rank 2 and higher editors never need approval for edits to places locked at or below their rank.
Closure locking
A segment that has a closure cannot be edited (with a few minor exceptions until the closure has been removed from the segment. So if a segment has a lock rank of 1 but a current closure, then it will require an editor with Real Time Closure permission for that segment to alter the closure so that a change can be made to the segment. In the USA, only rank 3 and higher editors can edit closures.
Closures
Editors receive permission to add and edit Real time closures (RTC) in two ways.
  1. Rank -- upon achieving minimum RTC rank (3 in the USA), editors can add and edit Real Time Closures on any segment within their editable areas or any segment that is not locked above their rank.
  2. RTC areas -- In addition, editors may be granted RTC areas. Within these areas, editors can add and edit Real Time Closures on any segments, no matter the lock rank.
