This gives drivers a complete, at-a-glance view of the situation, even if roads aren’t physically blocked. You can proactively inform drivers about planned events like construction, concerts, and parades, helping them navigate around road closures and find the best routes. Waze works because of our map editors, beta testers, localizers, and fellow traffic haters. Get driving directions and live traffic info before you leave, and then save straight from here to your app. Giving unnamed segments a street name in that operation might get you more points in some cases. Allowing/forbidding a turn counts as a change in the node of the turn, so all changes in the same node will be granted only once.

Road Closures

Like the bonus candies, you just need to drive ways to stop taking wellbutrin over them to collect the points. However if you do not drive over these candies, they will not be relocated in your path in the future like the bonus candies. From the web interface you will see the following table, through which you can follow your progress and driving activity inside Waze. Each field in the table represents a different activity inside Waze.

Waze Points Level (in client app)

In the map editor, any change is counted by the counter on the Save icon. For example, if you select 10 segments which need their city changed, once you tap Apply, the change counter will increase by one. The editor will count these mass edits as one “unsaved change” per mass edit, so the count tracked on the WME screen is not the points you will collect.

They are selected by Waze developers and are generally in closer direct communication with the Waze development team. If you believe you have completed an achievement, but have not seen the bonus candy on the road, sometimes you just need to wait another week for it to catch up in the server. Also note that some bonuses cannot be earned in the same week and require a separate Monday cycle between them. Waze ensures your message reaches the people who need it most. Our system targets notifications based on a driver’s past driving behavior and the event’s impact on their likely routes, so your information is always relevant. You have the flexibility to alert drivers immediately for an unplanned event, or in advance for an upcoming planned event.

What information is used to define when and how a road should be closed?

• As the world continues to recover from COVID-19, people are driving more than ever before and behaviors on the roads have changed.
• However if you do not drive over these candies, they will not be relocated in your path in the future like the bonus candies.
• Every night the Waze system will calculate all the points that you accumulated for each activity through the day.
• We wanted to share an update that after careful consideration, we have made the decision to retire the Waze Carpool service.
• The message states you’ve earned a “candy” that contains a particular number of points.

Waze uses a point system to track usage of the the Waze client application, and also when you use the web interface to make edits to the map. Depending upon what actions you perform will determine how many point you earn. These points are currently used to define your status and “rank” in points compared to all other users in Waze. Most forum questions are answered by these users as they give their time freely to the Waze community.

Bonus points and road goodies

Every night the Waze system will calculate all the points that you accumulated for each activity through the day. The system will then identify your rank among all other Waze users. Your rank will generally change on a daily basis, until you get very high in the ranking. We want to continue to make a real-world impact by doubling down on helping cities address mobility problems such as congestion, safety, sustainability and cost. In order for us to achieve this we will be retiring the Waze Carpool service to focus the company’s efforts on better supporting drivers on the road today. For complex events that affect a large area, our enhanced tools allow you to define the entire zone of impact.

If you select several segments and edit them all, you will get a point for each segment. However, you will not receive more points for changing different properties of the same segment in the same Save. We want to thank all Map Editors who helped us along the years in mapping Carpool related interest points, providing feedback and lots more. Once you meet the criteria for one of the following tasks below, a message pops up in the Waze client application. The message states you’ve earned a “candy” that contains a particular number of points. Simply drive over where the candy is located and the points will be added to your total upon Waze’s next ranking update.

• The following table identifies the current badges in use in the forums.
• In the second example, those 10 changes will get you credit for 1 edit.
• In the first example, those 10 segments changed all at once will get you credit for 10 edits.
• You can see your points and rank from the web interface by selecting My Dashboard, or from the client application you can select the Menu, then My Waze, then the Scoreboard.
• If for some reason you are unable to drive over the candy, don’t worry about it.

Where can the road be closed

The following table identifies the current badges in use in the forums. Membership in these groups requires approval by a country’s Self-Management and is applied to the forum by certain Champs or Waze administration. Our new Driving Advisories feature is a transformative capability that provides a direct line for authorities to inform drivers about important, essential traffic-related changes and regulatory updates. This tool lets you share key details and actionable information, helping drivers prepare for changes.

Currently moving from one rank to the next higher rank is not automatic and needs assistance from Waze support. USA based editors should refer to the Editing rank USA section. Other road goodies often coincide with special holidays and will appear in random locations on the map. Each type of candy has a set value and they are typically between 3 and 10 points.

Only on roads connecting in the immediate vicinity (around 100m) of the actual position of the wazer, and only in the driving direction of the wazer. If for any reason you have a question you don’t feel comfortable asking in the main forums, you can send a Private Message (PM) to a Waze Champ who will be happy to answer your question. Some countries with Self-Management may have different ranking systems. Your total points collected from all types of activities are compared to others in your Country or State depending upon what server you are located. You are also compared to everyone on both servers around the world. This rank is displayed in various locations on the app and in the My Dashboard through the web interface.

The Waze team is working on a different approach to this status. The top percentage is calculated once a month, and if more and more Wazers get points, it’s possible that the total amount needed to reach shield / sword / crown will actually go up. To reach the Royalty level (crown icon), you need to be in the top percentage of all Wazers in your locality (in the US, this is determined by state).

You can see your own editing rank from the Waze Map Editor (WME) on the top left of the screen. In the WME when you select a segment, the properties drawer will show you the name of the editor who created and last modified the segment. Also, when saving a large number of changes at once, the system will not credit you with more than 150 points each time you save changes. If you have more than 150 points worth of changes stored up before you save, the edits will be saved to the map, but you only get up to 150 points.
