(In)Complete guide to editing the Waze map in Ireland

Let's hit the road

Welcome! Hopefully, you are here because you want to learn more about mapping Ireland in Waze. We're glad you're here and hope you find all the information you need.

This wiki aims to lay out all the policies and editing best practices we adhere to in Ireland to keep everything consistent and of high quality across the country. It is important that you adhere to these standards to give a solid user experience for our drivers.

Editing Best Practice

Overall, we follow global best practice with some small exceptions to cover local conditions, such as for road naming. What is described here just covers local variations from practice elsewhere.

For anything not covered here, we generally follow UK best practice. For anything not documented in the UK page, we follow global best best practice.

The Irish road system is broadly similar to that in the UK, except that there is less traffic and not as many motorways. The legal systems are very similar and the road rules are almost identical. Many road signs are different (but still straightforward), speed limits and distances are always shown in kilometres and roads are numbered differently. There are also some differences in Waze road naming. Most signs showing names show them in Irish and English, with a few exceptions.
