Share information with Waze

Share information with Waze to improve the accuracy of navigation in your area. Currently, you can share data that falls under the 4 categories below.

Apart from data, Waze also supports different alert types. You can add alerts through feeds, the Partner Hub, and the community.

Note: You only need to share data once. If you shared data through Waze for Cities (WFC), it should also appear on Google Maps and vice versa. But to be sure, it's best to share data on both.

Basic navigation and orientation

Help local users understand and navigate your region by sharing roads, addresses, political boundaries, and other basemap data.

Parking lots
Addresses with latitudes and longitudes (geocodes)
Roads
- Geometry
- Route names

- Bike lanes covered in urban mobility journeys
- Parking lots

Water
Access points
Political boundaries
- Countries
- Provinces or states
- Cities or localities
- Postal codes
- Small politicals such as neighborhoods, sub-localities, colloquial areas
- Congressional districts

To share any of these data types on Waze, get in touch with the Waze editor community.

Real-time road conditions

Optimize transportation and improve safety by communicating closures, incidents, and traffic events.

Real-time and planned road closures

Let users know about closures via any of these channels:

Provide a data feed for road closure updates. Updates and new reports are typically reflected within minutes.
Share closures directly through the Waze Map Editor (WME) or suggest an edit directly in the WME. Updates and new reports are reflected immediately.
Note: Road closures can be associated with traffic events for greater impact.
