<!-----Insert Text about WV to give a back story----------->


Despite its relatively small size (24,000 square miles), the Mountain State is home to over 3,000 communities; approximately 450 of those are incorporated cities and towns. To link them (and to provide an important part of the transportation of the state’s abundant natural resources), there are some 39,000 miles of public roads, of which the State of WV maintains 35,000 miles (90%) of those roads. Included amongst these roads are 468 miles of Interstate Routes, 88 miles of the WV Turnpike, 835 miles of Federal Roadways, and 7,000 bridges (most less than 100 feet in length).
=== MapRaid Goals ===


=== Map Raid Goals ===
The raid is short and the area is large. We don't expect to complete all these goals for the entire area, however these are items that can be worked on throughout the raid area listed here in order of importance. The primary goal of the Meetup Raid are to make Waze route properly in the Upstate NY region by working on these items:
# Ensure turns are enabled and confirmed along these routes.
# Update incorrect [[Road types|road type]] classifications,
# Correct state and county route names to standard, and
These tasks can often be completed in tandem. While updating state route or county route names, their road type classification can be updated and their turns confirmed. Note: In some urban areas, there may be roads requiring FC upgrades that are not state or county routes.


The primary goals of the Meetup Raid are to 1) complete missing FC classifications, 2) correct state and county route names to standard, and 3) ensure turns are enabled and confirmed along these routes. Secondary goals are to review and confirm connected basemap. If you are unsure if the items are completed, please contact your [[#Raid Groups | Group Leader]].
The secondary goal is to spruce up the area and polish it. This will make the app more useful, and hopefully encourage more local usage. This includes any of the following tasks:
# Update [[Hospitals and urgent care|hospitals]] from {{PlaceCategory|Doctor / Clinic}} to {{PlaceCategory|Hospital / Urgent Care}} category,
# Add and confirm [[speed limits]],
# Update [[Places/Gas station|gas stations]], and
# Complete general basemap confirmation and cleanup.
If you are unsure what to focus on, please contact your [[#Raid Groups|Group Leader]].


We would like to perform these goals in the following order:

The map raid area is shown in the map below. This is the comprised of a portion of upstate New York.


# Base Map / Connectivity
Everyone will have editing access to the whole raid area, but please only edit in your groups area boundaries. The groups are identified with thick boundaries and different colors, thinner lines represent county borders.
#*Please review the [[Basemap|Basemap Wiki]] for steps to, and a guide for, editing basemap
#*#In addition to the steps in the Basemap wiki, please pay special attention to the following:
#*#*Look for and correct other state names on segments (OH/VA/KY/PA/MD)
#*#*Add Speed Limits (SL)
# Remove names and adjust Railroad (RR) segments (elevation/junctions/etc). Leave the name on "Cass Scenic Railroad" and "WVU PRT".
<!-----* Remove/Add/Update PLR or PR (and driveways) per [[Road_types/USA#Other_drivable_roads|National Wiki Guidance]] as necessary for routing----->
# Use the [http://w-tools.org/PlaceBrowser?group=MapRaidWestVirginia WV Place Browser] to review and fix all places.
#*If/when you Add/Update any Police Stations, Hospitals, Schools, Colleges, Day Cares, Places of Worship, or Fire Stations, [http://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1DvDAgAXUVRAEyd5Mvz1_HVpniO49HplQqM0972yxtQs/edit?usp=sharing Add your Editor Name/Permalink/Any Comments here]

==== Route Naming ====
In addition to the guidance listed below, please see the [[usa:New_York|New York Wazeopedia]] page for additional information and the full set of state editing standards.
#New York State uses NY-## and NY-##X for all state routes and their spurs, loops, etc. (e.g. NY-27, NY-17M)
 
#For County Routes, CR-## and CR-##X are used (CR-1 or CR-21B)
===NY Route Name Variations===
#Highway name descriptors, such as TRUCK, EXPRESS, etc. should be added in ALL CAPS after the name. (e.g. US-1 TRUCK, or on a concurrent road US-1 TRUCK / US-9 TRUCK)
*New York State uses NY-## and NY-##X for all state routes and their spurs, loops, etc. (e.g. NY-27, NY-17M)
*For County Routes, CR-## and CR-##X are used (CR-1 or CR-21B)
**County route primary names vary from county to county. The primary name should match the LGS and not the country route (blue) shield. CR-XX from the route shield should be used as an alternate name. Some counties will use only CR-XX on their LGS, in which case that is the primary name and no alternate name is necessary. Please consult the [[usa:New_York/Resources#County_Route_Inventories|county route inventory sheets]] for naming, but ensure they match LGS as well.
*Highway name descriptors, such as TRUCK, EXPRESS, etc. should be added in ALL CAPS after the name. (e.g. US-1 TRUCK, or on a concurrent road US-1 TRUCK / US-9 TRUCK)

Note that these are minimum lock levels. Certain segments may be at higher lock levels for protection or due to old standards. If you find a road locked to a higher level than its minimum, please consult a senior editor to determine whether to leave it locked at that level or if its level can be lowered. NYC has a different locking standard, but this area will not be included in the MapRaid.

The 2017 Northeast / New England Meetup MapRaid will begin on July 9th 2017 at 09:00 EDT, with a dedicated half hours session, and then continue informally for one week through July 16th 2017 at 23:59 EDT. The raid will be divided into 4 groups, with group assignments to be determined at the meetup.

MapRaid Goals

The raid is short and the area is large. We don't expect to complete all these goals for the entire area, however these are items that can be worked on throughout the raid area listed here in order of importance. The primary goal of the Meetup Raid are to make Waze route properly in the Upstate NY region by working on these items:

  1. Ensure turns are enabled and confirmed along these routes.
  2. Update incorrect road type classifications,
  3. Correct state and county route names to standard, and

These tasks can often be completed in tandem. While updating state route or county route names, their road type classification can be updated and their turns confirmed. Note: In some urban areas, there may be roads requiring FC upgrades that are not state or county routes.

The secondary goal is to spruce up the area and polish it. This will make the app more useful, and hopefully encourage more local usage. This includes any of the following tasks:

  1. Update hospitals from Doctor / Clinic
to Hospital / Urgent Care
category,
  1. Add and confirm speed limits,
  2. Update gas stations, and
  3. Complete general basemap confirmation and cleanup.

If you are unsure what to focus on, please contact your Group Leader.

Raid demographics

The map raid area is shown in the map below. This is the comprised of a portion of upstate New York.

Everyone will have editing access to the whole raid area, but please only edit in your groups area boundaries. The groups are identified with thick boundaries and different colors, thinner lines represent county borders.

There will be four raid groups. Group assignments and leadership for the four groups will be assigned at the meetup.

The MapRaid is being coordinated by whoaitspete (PM [Help])   an Area Manager from New York, in coordination with the RC orbitc (PM [Help])  , and the ARC PesachZ (PM [Help])  .

Local Guidance

In addition to the guidance listed below, please see the New York Wazeopedia page for additional information and the full set of state editing standards.

NY Route Name Variations

  • New York State uses NY-## and NY-##X for all state routes and their spurs, loops, etc. (e.g. NY-27, NY-17M)
  • For County Routes, CR-## and CR-##X are used (CR-1 or CR-21B)
    • County route primary names vary from county to county. The primary name should match the LGS and not the country route (blue) shield. CR-XX from the route shield should be used as an alternate name. Some counties will use only CR-XX on their LGS, in which case that is the primary name and no alternate name is necessary. Please consult the county route inventory sheets for naming, but ensure they match LGS as well.
  • Highway name descriptors, such as TRUCK, EXPRESS, etc. should be added in ALL CAPS after the name. (e.g. US-1 TRUCK, or on a concurrent road US-1 TRUCK / US-9 TRUCK)

Functional Classification

Tip: for editors using the FC Color Highlights script: These colors will more-or-less match the NYS DOT FC map:

NYS FC GIS Color Highlights
NYS FC Type Highlight Color
 Interstate = Fwy  black
 Principal Arterial = MH  green
 Minor Arterial = mH  red
 Collector = PS  blue
 Ramp  #8c6946 (unclassified)

NY Minimum Road Lock Standard

Minimum Road Lock Standard
Segment Type Lock
 Freeway  5
 Ramp  Highest Rank of Connected Segment
 Major Highway  3
 Minor Highway  3
 Primary Street  1 (Auto)
 Local Street 
 Private Road  		1 (Auto)
 |-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-| Railroad |-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|  2
 • • • • Ferry • • • •   5

Note that these are minimum lock levels. Certain segments may be at higher lock levels for protection or due to old standards. If you find a road locked to a higher level than its minimum, please consult a senior editor to determine whether to leave it locked at that level or if its level can be lowered. NYC has a different locking standard, but this area will not be included in the MapRaid.

Recommended Tools for the Meetup Raid

New editors should be aware there are many scripts and extensions that editors use to assist with editing that not only make some jobs easier, but verifies what we do is correct. The use of these scripts is highly encouraged and those listed below are the ones you should install, at a minimum, to get started. You will need a browser extension to install and manage these user scripts, please install the appropriate one below for your browser.

For more details on Scripts in general, see Scripts.

Script manager

The most common and supported browser for editing Waze maps is Chrome, with Firefox being a close second. Install the appropriate manager for your browser. This is needed to install other scripts.

New York Localization for Validator

Although Validator is not currently working, this add-on script still works to add four additional NY-specific permalinks to tthe bottom of WME.

For more details on the New York Localization for Validator, see New York/Validator.

Toolbox

This script adds lots of tools to make editing easier and more efficient.

For more details on all the features Toolbox offers, and how to use them, see Scripts/WME Toolbox.

Meetup MapRaid Overlay

This overlay script displays the boundaries of each raid group in WME. It also adds a label to the map describing which group and county you are currently viewing in the editor.
