This page is a work in progress.

Introduction

Entering speed limits has been enabled. As always this is a generalised description, inform yourself about local guidelines in your country. If local guidelines can't be found or are unclear contact a state or country manager.

Entering Limits

Phased roll-out

The roll-out of speed limits is planned in three phases, as explained below:

• Phase 1 - initial speed limit data (by community)
  • Minimum 10 000 segments on a localized area (e.g. city)
  • With all types of roads
  • Most importantly all types of speeds that exist in the country should be present.
• Phase 2 - prediction algorithm (by Waze)
  • Wait for the Waze Team to generate Speed Limit predictions for all the country / metro. This takes a few business days
• Phase 3 - speed limit verification (by community)
  • Verify the inserted speed limits by the Waze algorithm (use the ‘Verify’ checkbox inside the Editor). Focus on high speed roads (Freeways, Major Highways, Minor Highways).

Tips & tricks

• Do not include multiple road types in one selection or the speed limit text boxes will be unavailable.

Scripts

The following external scripts can aid with entering speed limits. [Insert link to explaination about scripts]

• WME Speedhelper
  • Designed to simplify the input of the speed limits
  • https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/13774-wme-speedhelper
• WME Speeds
  • Can be used to visualise where the Speed Limits have been added.
  • Shows the Speed Limit of each segment using a color code.
  • https://greasyfork.org/nl/scripts/12402-wme-speeds
• WME Color Highlights
  • Version 2.3 (and later) supports highlighting of segments without verified speed limits.

• Street Vector Layer
  • Can be used to visualise where the Speed Limits have been added.
