If your goal is to get a lot more points than you have now, you should consider investigating updating the map for your area. For a basic street, with low traffic, the closure will appear immediately for 30 min. It will be extended if another user confirmes the closure. Notified drivers will be included in the impact dashboard in Partner Hub, allowing you to see the tangible results of your communication and how you’ve made a difference in keeping your city moving.
The Waze client application Scoreboard displays your points and points rank compared to Everyone or your Facebook Friends for your country, your state (in the US) for Weekly or All Time, time frames. As you advance to higher levels your reporting permissions grow, as your reports get greater influence on real-time routing. This is tracked in the Waze client application as can be seen in the Waze client application Scoreboard. For those more interested in the details behind the calculations you can review this forum thread. Additional changes made to the point system are noted in this later forum thread. Based on the current point system, the Wazers who spend time on the web interface updating the map will generally accumulate the most points in any particular week.
The Waze forums use badges to indicate group membership for Waze editors. Some editors may belong to multiple groups, but only one badge can be displayed. Each Waze editor who has more than one badge can select which badge to display in the right pane of their forum posts.
You receive a different number of points for each activity as listed in the tables below. Note that the number of points you get for distance related activities is different when measured in miles and in kilometers. In effect you get the same points for the same physical distance.
Advanced Traffic Event Options
It’s a powerful way to reach a wide audience and make a real impact on your city’s mobility. As the world continues to recover from COVID-19, people are driving more than ever before and behaviors on the roads have changed. While Waze was predominantly a commuting app pre-COVID, today the proportion of errands & travel drives have surpassed commutes. Bonus candies only appear at road junctions and generally get placed on the road along your current path. If for some reason you are unable to drive over the candy, don’t worry about it. The candy will come back at another location as you continue to drive, or when you use Waze on another trip.
- 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 receive a different number of points for each activity as listed in the tables below.
- For example, if you select 10 segments which need their city changed, once you tap Apply, the change counter will increase by one.
- This tool lets you share key details and actionable information, helping drivers prepare for changes.
What information is used to define when and how a road should be closed?
The bonus points can only be earned once unless otherwise noted. In the first example, those 10 segments changed all at once will get you credit for 10 edits. In the second example, those 10 changes ways to stop taking wellbutrin will get you credit for 1 edit.
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.
Waze Points Level (in client app)
Remember that points are not displayed in the save icon, only edits. Therefore when making a large number of edits be aware of the points per edit to prevent doing work that is not credited. To avoid problems simply save more often and with less changes between saves. When editing the map in the Waze Map Editor, the points are granted according to the number of changed segments/nodes/other objects.

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.
If you do not enable these “Road Goodies” in the Waze client application, you will receive the credits during the next weekly point update. Editing the same object multiple times in a single 24 hour period will only result in one edit for that object in that period. The changes will be saved and made to the map, but your total score will not increase with those additional edits within a 24-hour period.
We wanted to share an update that after careful consideration, we have made the decision to retire the Waze Carpool service. Join our program to get access to these enhanced features and empower your city with a new level of connection.
The second table below shows you the translation of the two measurements system. 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.

Like the bonus candies, you just need to drive 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.
