| Road segments form a loop when you can trace a path from a starting point around to the same point without retracing any portion of the traced path.
| |
| | |
| ==== Every loop must be made up of three or more segments ====
| |
| [[File:Loop_3-part_6.jpg|right]]Any loop that does not follow this rule can cause problems for the Waze routing server. If there is no side-street, you must [[Map Editing Quick-start Guide#Splitting a segment|insert an extra junction node]] along the loop. Many new editors will see the extra junction node(s), assume they are not needed, and delete them. One way to prevent this is to add a driveway to the loop. Another solution is to educate new editors.

| =====One-segment or dead-end loops=====
| |
| [[File:Dead end loop.png|thumb|left]] One-segment, self-connected, or dead-end loops are often found in basemap areas. It is difficult for Waze editors to create one-segment loops.

| | |
| =====Two-segment loops=====
| |
| Two-segment loops are also known as "same endpoint drivable segments" or "same

| ==== Loop save errors ====
| |
| The Waze Map Editor may be resistant in editing a loop that does not already follow the rule that it must be broken in two. If you run into saving errors, try one of the following approaches.
| |
| | |
| If the loop and the road leading to it have the '''same''' name:
| |
| | |
| #Select the loop and the road
| |
| #Click the bridge icon that appears (one end of the loop will disconnect from the other)
| |
| #Move the now free end of the loop so it is slightly separated
| |
| #Save
| |
| #Cut the loop
| |
| #Reconnect the disconnected end of the loop
| |
| #Confirm turns
| |
| | |
| If the loop and the road leading to it have '''different''' names:
| |
| | |
| #Draw a new road segment that connect to the loop/road junction
| |
| #Give that new road the same exact name as the loop
| |
| #Select the loop and the new road segment
| |
| #Click the bridge icon that appears (one end of the loop will disconnect from the other)
| |
| #Move the now free end of the loop so it is slightly separated
| |
| #Save
| |
| #Cut the loop
| |
| #Reconnect the disconnected end of the loop
| |
| #Confirm turns
