Use the following checklist '''step-by-step''' to determine whether the "City" field for a segment or place should contain a name or be marked as "None": | |||
=== Mailing Address for City field in Waze === | |||
'''NOTE:''' Mailing addresses alone are not a determining factor for filling in the City field; city limits are. For example, everyone who lives in Leon County has a "Tallahassee, FL" mailing address, but not everyone in Leon County lives within the incorporated city limits of Tallahassee. Most unincorporated county areas should have the City field checked as "None", unless they meet one of the following exceptions. | |||

Revision as of 04:07, 7 December 2015
How to Use
To use this interactive flowchart;
- Start with the first question in The Interactive Algorithm.
- Click on the appropriate answer which best matches your situation. A new question will jump to the top of the screen
- Continue answering the questions until an instruction is displayed at the top of the screen.
The interactive algorithm
(01) |
STEP 1 - Incorporated Municipality.
Is the name on the list of legally incorporated municipalities? If YES, check if your segment / place falls within the city limits by using the appropriate local gis source such as one of the resources from Florida Mapping Resources. If it is not within the city limits, make sure it's not in an adjacent city or eligible location specified below. If not, stop here, you're done.
YES |
---|
If NO, proceed to Step 2.
NO |
---|
(19) |
Do the origin and the destination meet at a Roundabout?
YES |
---|
NO |
---|
(02) |
Is the turn angle from the origin to the destination between How Waze determines turn / keep / exit maneuvers/Turn threshold and 150°?
YES |
---|
[[#04|NO, the turn angle is less How Waze determines turn / keep / exit maneuvers/Stay threshold]] |
---|
NO, the turn angle is greater than 150° |
---|
SPECULATION NOTE: This is unconfirmed Turns with angles greater than 150° will follow the same instruction path as [[#03|How Waze determines turn / keep / exit maneuvers/Turn threshold-150°]], but the Waze routing server will penalize this turn, and avoid routing through it. |
(03) |
Which direction is the turn?
Left => Turn Left |
---|
Right => Turn Right |
---|
(04) |
Are there any other branches with unrestricted turns from the origin?
YES |
---|
NO => No Instruction |
---|
(13) |
Is there more than one (1) other branch?
YES |
---|
NO |
---|
(14) |
Are the two branches (the destination and the other branch) overlapping?
YES => No Instruction |
---|
NO |
---|
(05) |
Is the name of the origin and the destination identical?
YES |
---|
NO |
---|
(06) |
Are the origin and the destination the same road type?
YES |
---|
NO |
---|
(07) |
Are both the name AND the road type of any of the other branches identical to the origin?
YES |
---|
NO => No Instruction |
---|
(08) |
Is there any other branch to the left of the destination branch?
YES |
---|
NO |
---|
(20) |
Is this an overlapping segment, is it overlapped by any other branch?
YES |
---|
NO |
---|
(25) |
Are the segments in a right hand traffic country (such as the USA)?
YES |
---|
NO => Keep/Stay Right |
---|
(21) |
Is the origin a highway? ( Freeway , Major Highway , or Minor Highway )
YES |
---|
NO |
---|
(22) |
Is the destination a highway? ( Freeway , Major Highway , or Minor Highway )
YES => Keep/Stay Left |
---|
NO => Exit Left |
---|
(23) |
Is the origin a Ramp ?
YES |
---|
NO => Keep/Stay Left |
---|
(24) |
Is the destination a highway ( Freeway , Major Highway , or Minor Highway ), or a Ramp ?
YES => Keep/Stay Left |
---|
NO => Exit Left |
---|
(09) |
Is the name of any of the other branches identical to the origin?
YES |
---|
NO => No Instruction |
---|
(10) |
Are the origin and the destination the same road type?
YES |
---|
NO |
---|
(11) |
Is the name of any of the other branches identical to the origin?
YES |
---|
NO |
---|
(12) |
Is the road type of any of the other branches identical to the origin?
YES |
---|
NO => No Instruction |
---|
(26) |
Are the segments in a left hand traffic country (like the UK)?
YES |
---|
NO => Keep/Stay Left |
---|
(15) |
Is the origin a highway? ( Freeway , Major Highway , or Minor Highway )
YES |
---|
NO |
---|
(16) |
Is the destination a highway? ( Freeway , Major Highway , or Minor Highway )
YES => Keep/Stay Right |
---|
NO => Exit Right |
---|
(17) |
Is the origin a Ramp ?
YES |
---|
NO => Keep/Stay Right |
---|
(18) |
Is the destination a highway ( Freeway , Major Highway , or Minor Highway ), or a Ramp ?
YES => Keep/Stay Right |
---|
NO => Exit Right |
---|
(27) |
Are there five (5) or more segments (junctions) connected to the roundabout?
YES => At the Roundabout Take the #xx Exit |
---|
NO |
---|
(28) |
From the perspective of the origin, are the roundabout angles to all the other segments between 0°-15°, or 75°-105°?
YES |
---|
NO => At the Roundabout Take the #xx Exit |
---|
(29) |
What direction is the destination relative to the origin?
Left => At the Roundabout Turn Left |
---|
Straight => At the Roundabout Continue Straight |
---|
Right => At the Roundabout Turn Right |
---|
U Turn, Back => At the Roundabout Make a U Turn |
---|
No Instruction
There will be No instruction given passing through this junction. This can be caused by several factors including
- Best Continuation
- Certain cases with an overlapping segment
- The instruction would be Continue Straight (this doesn't yet exist in the client application)

Use the following checklist step-by-step to determine whether the "City" field for a segment or place should contain a name or be marked as "None":
Mailing Address for City field in Waze
NOTE: Mailing addresses alone are not a determining factor for filling in the City field; city limits are. For example, everyone who lives in Leon County has a "Tallahassee, FL" mailing address, but not everyone in Leon County lives within the incorporated city limits of Tallahassee. Most unincorporated county areas should have the City field checked as "None", unless they meet one of the following exceptions.
Start Here
Step 1 : Incorporated Municipality
Is the segment within a city on the list of legally incorporated municipalities below?
YES: Step 1a |

Step 2 - Census Designated Place (CDP)
Click the image below for the state you are researching and scroll to the bottom. The list of places includes all Incorporated Cities and all Census Designated Places. You will find CDP after each Census Designated Place. DO NOT assume these boundaries are correct for Incorporated Cities. Only use these files to find the boundaries for Census Designated Places.
Is the CDP listed on the appropriate state's list?
YES: Step 2a |
---|
NO: Step 3 |
---|
Step 2a: Determine Geographic Boundaries
The geographic boundaries of CDP's can be viewed from the links above by clicking on the correct county, or they can be overlaid on WME by following the presentation Overlay CDP's on WME by t0cableguy. The PDF's or the shapefiles provided by the census.gov website are the ONLY approved source for CDP boundaries.
Is the segment within a Census Designated Place listed below the state map in the links or files provided above?
YES: CDP |

NO: Step 3 |

STEP 3 - County Property Appraiser
If you look up a parcel for the segment using the appropriate Property Appraiser's website does it list the target name as a valid address?
YES: Step 3a |
---|
NO: Step 4 |
---|
Step 3a: Determine boundaries of target name
Try to determine the boundaries for use of that target name by checking subsequent parcels in the area or checking county GIS sites for your state provided below.

STEP 5 - Other Place of Significance.
There are many other Census Designated Places and points of interest throughout the Southeast Regsion, but many are small. Does your target location have a major cultural significance (e.g. tourist attraction, county seat, travel milestone (e.g. Yeehaw Junction))?
YES: Consult |

Options for City Name Field
- Segment is within an Incorporated City's Limits. Use the city name in the city field for the segment.

Do not use this as the city name if it is an incorporated city and the segment is outside its city limits.
- Segment is listed in appraisers maps as the city name for multiple parcels. Please Use this target name in the city field.
Do not use this as the city name if it is an incorporated city and the segment is outside its city limits.
Consult Regional Managment
- Listing the name of the reservation or installation in the City field may be appropriate. If you think it may be beneficial to map, consult a State Manager or Regional Coordinator for more guidance.
Do not use this as the city name if it is an incorporated city and the segment is outside its city limits.
No City
- Segment is not within any of the possible city name options. Please check None for the city field. These aren't the droid's you are looking for.
