MapRaid is a time-limited event where map editors join together to vastly improve the overall condition of their pre-determined area of the map. This time, it is the rural western Pennsylvania (PA) area! '''Please read the entire MapRaid wiki.'''
 
This raid, Sept. 17-25, 2017, is designed for editors at Rank 1, 2 and 3. Higher ranked editors who are local to the area, as well as other mentors, will be available to help. If you are not sure about anything, ask! Take this raid as a learning opportunity. The more you learn, and the more positive interaction you get with the senior editors, the better you can prepare yourself for a future rank upgrade or area expansion.

==About this map raid==
== Communication ==
<!-- add any important information important to the raid here -->
We will use ''Discord ''to communicate. There is a [https://discord.gg/YEtgvCN Pennsylvania Raid general channel] and also a channel for each raid group. '''You must be in Discord to be able to edit in this MapRaid'''
<!-- keep this list short. link to other pages where possible.-->
Please read the entire MapRaid wiki. If you are still uncertain what to do about something you see on the map, please ask your group leader.


Beginning and junior editors -- find a senior editor and start asking questions. Take this raid as a learning opportunity. Everything new you learn -- do a little follow-up reading in the wiki to make sure you understand. The more you learn, and the more positive interaction you get with the senior editors, the better you can prepare yourself for a future rank upgrade or area expansion. There are always a few promotion announcements at the end of every map raid.
WME chat can also be used. The [http://www.waze.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=819&t=95038 WME Chat addon] is recommended.


'''Thank You for your help with the map.'''
== MapRaid Goals ==


===Mapraid UR Rules===
=== Primary Goal''' ''' ===
We will follow the [[Update_Requests_in_Waze_Map_Editor#The_resolution_process_.2F_Etiquette|usual US UR etiquette]] with one exception:
Improve the [[basemap]]. Read through the following slides to learn how.
During the Map raid, the wait time is reduced to  
4
days.
Do not close URs if the UR contains a tag such as [NOTE], [CLOSURE], or any other [MESSAGE] -- check with the editor who placed the tag.


=== Do Not Mass-Edit ===
{{#widget:Iframe
DO NOT perform edits that affect large numbers of segments at once. We want to be able to see how URs and other problems got resolved. Mass edits can be done at the end of the map raid.

=== Secondary Goals ===
* Improve routing and navigation within the designated area quickly
* Solve and respond to User Reports
* Update pending Places (Place Update Requests)


[[File:Jct 4 offset align.png|frameless|right|100px]]
==Guidance==
=== Micro-Doglegs ===
[[Pennsylvania|'''Please follow all guidance for Pennsylvania''']]''', it has all of the specific details that you need to know before editing in PA.'''
We use [[Glossary#Micro-dogleg|micro-doglegs]] to control turn- vs. stay/keep/exit instructions. Zoom in very close to see the closely-spaced geometry nodes. Preserve them.


=== Road Types, Names, and Functional Classification (FC) ===
=== Do Not Mass-Edit ===
'''Please DO NOT perform edits that affect large numbers of segments at once. We want to be able to see how URs and other problems got resolved.  Those who cause issues by mass editing the map may be removed from the raid, blocked from future mapraids or  possibly banned from editing.'''<!-- add any important information important to the raid here -->
<!-- keep this list short. link to other pages where possible.-->


In
===UR Timeframe===
Pennsylvania
We will follow the [[Update_Requests_in_Waze_Map_Editor#The_resolution_process_.2F_Etiquette|usual US UR etiquette]] with one exception: we wait for only 4 days to add the reminder to URs and 4 days after the reminder to close the UR. Do not close URs if the UR contains any type of [TAG], check with the editor who placed the tag.
, we follow general [[Road types#Quick_reference_chart|US standards for road types]] based on the hybrid rule of FC and Route Type.
Special road names are
* Federal: '''I-195 E''', '''US-9'''
* State: '''SR-35 S''', '''SR-72'''
** If the state road appears on the sign that drivers see as PA-xxx, use that in the road name. <!--* Most signs for the Pennsylvania Turnpike refer to it as "Penna Turn Pike".-->
If a road has more than one name follow the standard for [[Road names#Concurrent_names|Concurrent names on US roads]].

Pennsylvania generally follows the US standards for [[Places]], but there are some exceptions.
Pennsylvania generally follows the US standards for [[Places]], but there are some exceptions:
All Places are to be locked to a minimum level of Rank 2. If these are new Places, please try to add the street address at a minimum, preferably a web address and phone as well, before locking.
Places considered fundamental to the functioning of the Waze app, such as Gas Stations, should be locked to Rank 4.
Complex, intricate, or crucial Places such as Hospitals, Police Stations, Fire Departments, Airports, Parks, etc. should be locked at least to Rank 4.

== MapRaid Promotions ==
Some editors really let their bright side out, and let their community skills shine. This is even more evident in a concerted group effort with high-density editing like a MapRaid!. Editors of all ranks working closely with each other and the Champs, really lets us everyone get to know each other, and allows certain editors to be recognized for their skills and effort.
When the Champs see someone consistently editing well, interacting well with the community, and knowledgeable of the various details from the Wiki, they can issue promotions. This can be anything from the size of a managed area, to a rank increase, or even a new role.

MapRaid is a time-limited event where map editors join together to vastly improve the overall condition of their pre-determined area of the map. This time, it is the rural western Pennsylvania (PA) area! Please read the entire MapRaid wiki.

This raid, Sept. 17-25, 2017, is designed for editors at Rank 1, 2 and 3. Higher ranked editors who are local to the area, as well as other mentors, will be available to help. If you are not sure about anything, ask! Take this raid as a learning opportunity. The more you learn, and the more positive interaction you get with the senior editors, the better you can prepare yourself for a future rank upgrade or area expansion.

Improve the basemap. Read through the following slides to learn how.

Secondary Goals

  • Improve routing and navigation within the designated area quickly
  • Solve and respond to User Reports
  • Update pending Places (Place Update Requests)

Guidance

Please follow all guidance for Pennsylvania, it has all of the specific details that you need to know before editing in PA.

Do Not Mass-Edit

Please DO NOT perform edits that affect large numbers of segments at once. We want to be able to see how URs and other problems got resolved. Those who cause issues by mass editing the map may be removed from the raid, blocked from future mapraids or possibly banned from editing.

UR Timeframe

We will follow the usual US UR etiquette with one exception: we wait for only 4 days to add the reminder to URs and 4 days after the reminder to close the UR. Do not close URs if the UR contains any type of [TAG], check with the editor who placed the tag.

Road Locks

In Pennsylvania we have a set minimum standard for locking roads based on segment type. Any road of a certain segment type must be locked at least to the rank (level) in the chart below. Roads may be locked higher for protection and special situations (areas with construction, tricky design, frequent mistakes, imaging inaccuracies, and the like), but should not be locked lower.

A great time to implement these locks is while bringing the road types of an area into compliance with the current US road type standards (FC and highway systems). Lock the roads based on type after they've been set to current US road type standards.

Pennsylvania Minimum Locking Rank Standard
Segment Type Statewide
 Freeway  5
 Ramp  Highest rank of connected segments
 Major Highway  3
 Minor Highway  3
 Primary Street  1 (Auto)
 Street  1 (Auto)
 Private Road  1 (Auto)
 • • • • Ferry • • • •   5
 |-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-| Railroad |-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|  2

Note: Do Not Mass Edit just to update locks to these standards, these can be adjusted as you find them while editing other aspects of the segments such as FC, speed limits, naming, etc.

Some segments still warrant higher locks and care should be taken when setting segment lock to these standards to look for and protect these special setups with higher locks. Some examples; segments which are part of BDP, U-turn prevention, or using micro-doglegs, or other complex intersection setups.

Places

Pennsylvania generally follows the US standards for Places, but there are some exceptions: All Places are to be locked to a minimum level of Rank 2. If these are new Places, please try to add the street address at a minimum, preferably a web address and phone as well, before locking. Places considered fundamental to the functioning of the Waze app, such as Gas Stations, should be locked to Rank 4. Complex, intricate, or crucial Places such as Hospitals, Police Stations, Fire Departments, Airports, Parks, etc. should be locked at least to Rank 4.
