| === Road Numbering ===
| | TEST |
| Tennessee currently observes the following Standardized Name nomenclature for Numbered Routes:
| |
| | |
| {| border="1" cellpadding="2" style="text-align:center;"
| |
| !|Road Type
| |
| !|Standardized Name
| |
| |-
| |
| ||Freeways ||I-XXX
| |
| |-
| |
| ||US Highways ||US-XXX
| |
| |-
| |
| ||State Highways ||TN-XXX
| |
| |-
| |
| ||County Highways ||CR-XXX
| |
| |}
| |
| | |
| === State Highway Signage ===
| |
| State highways are divided into primary and secondary classifications and use a different type of signage for each:<br />
| |
| *[[File:Tennessee155.png]]Tennessee Primary State Route signage<br />
| |
| *[[File:Tennessee171.png]]Tennessee Secondary State Route signage<br />
| |
| | |
| Map editors should not treat primary and secondary state highways different from each other when dealing with road types.
| |
| | |
| See [[Road names/USA]] and [[Road types/USA]] for general guidelines for naming and classifying roads.
| |
| ===Classification===
| |
| A road's type is arrived by a two step method that first uses classification via TDOT Functional Classification maps and secondly, Classification via Highway Type. A table based on these guidelines is given [[Tennessee#FC cross reference|here]].
| |
| ,
| |
| ====Classification via TDOT Generated Functional Classification====
| |
| The [http://www.tdot.state.tn.us/longrange/functionalclass.htm Tennessee Functional Class Map] is updated by the the Tennessee Department of Transporation (TDOT). The TN Functional Class Maps come in two types, Rural and Urban. Each map shows roads into different road type classifications. The editor should check to see if a road is a [[wikipedia:controlled-access highway|Controlled-access highway]] to determine if it qualifies as a {{Freeway}}.
| |
| | |
| Using the Functional Classification maps and checking the qualifiers on the road, the Corresponding Waze Road Type is determined via the following two tables:
| |
| | |
| =====Urban Functional Classification=====
| |
| {| class="wikitable sortable"
| |
| |-
| |
| ! TDOT Functional Class !! Qualifier !! Corresponding Waze Road Type
| |
| |-
| |
| | Urban Interstate || None || {{Freeway}}
| |
| |-
| |
| | Other Freeways and Expressways || [[wikipedia:controlled-access highway|Controlled-access highway]] || {{Freeway}}
| |
| |-
| |
| | Other Freeways and Expressways || Non-[[wikipedia:controlled-access highway|controlled-access highway]] || {{Major Highway}}
| |
| |-
| |
| | Urban Principal Arterial || None || {{Major Highway}}
| |
| |-
| |
| | Urban Minor Arterial || None || {{Minor Highway}}
| |
| |-
| |
| | Urban Collector || None || {{Primary Street}}
| |
| |}
| |
| | |
| =====Rural Functional Classification=====
| |
| {| class="wikitable sortable"
| |
| |-
| |
| ! TDOT Functional Class !! Qualifier !! Corresponding Waze Road Type
| |
| |-
| |
| | Rural Interstate || None || {{Freeway}}
| |
| |-
| |
| | Rural Principal Arterial || [[wikipedia:controlled-access highway|Controlled-access highway]] || {{Freeway}}
| |
| |-
| |
| | Rural Principal Arterial || [[wikipedia:Limited-access road|Partially-limited-access road]] || {{Major Highway}}
| |
| |-
| |
| | Rural Minor Arterial || None || {{Minor Highway}}
| |
| |-
| |
| | Rural Major Collector || None || {{Primary Street}}
| |
| |-
| |
| | Rural Minor Collector || None || {{Primary Street}}
| |
| |}
| |
| | |
| If a road is not shown on the Functional Classification Maps, it is deemed as a Local Road with a Waze Road Type of {{Street}}.
| |
| | |
| Inconsistent switching between road types along a road is not wanted. Consistency is key. Do not change a road type for routing sake or to make it appear on the map at a higher speed.
| |
| | |
| Sometimes strictly following these functional classification guidelines will generate inconsistent Waze road types at boundaries between urban and rural maps. It is best to use the aerial maps and GPS data to find a logical location where a road should make the change in road type. These types of changes are usually at intersections with other roads (primary street and above) and sometimes incorporate a change in lane count (2-lane road transitions to 4-lane road). Prudent editor discretion is needed at these locations.
| |
| | |
| ====Classification via Highway type====
| |
| Sometimes a road will need to be upgraded if it is an Interstate, Federal Highway, or State Highway. The list below provides the ''minimum'' that a particular highway should be classified (e.g. a Urban Collector would be at a minimum a primary street, but it would be upgraded to a major highway if it was a US Highway or a minor highway if it were a State Highway).
| |
| | |
| *{{Freeway}} - Interstates
| |
| *{{Major Highway}} - US Highways
| |
| *{{Minor Highway}} - State Highways, US Business Highways
| |
| | |
| ==== {{Anchor|FC cross reference}}Quick Reference Table====
| |
| | |
| Refer to this chart to determine the road type of a given paved public road based on the TN functional class.
| |
| | |
| To use this chart, first determine the functional class of a road. Secondly, determine whether it is a signed, numbered highway in a particular highway system.
| |
| | |
| Where the column for the road's highway system and the row for the road's Tennessee functional class meet, you will find the proper road type for that particular road.
| |
| | |
| A number of examples are given below the chart.

| |
| * A State Highway that is a [[wikipedia:Limited-access road|partially-limited-access road]] classified as a Principal Arterial is a {{Major Highway}}.
| |
| * A US Highway classified as a Minor Arterial is a {{Major Highway}}.
| |
| * A US Highway Business Route route classified as a Minor Arterial is a {{Minor Highway}}.
| |
| * A State Highway classified as a Freeway is a {{Freeway}}.
| |
| * A State Highway classified as a Principal Arterial is a {{Major Highway}}.
| |
| * A State Highway classified as a Collector is a {{Minor Highway}}.
| |
| * A locally-maintained road classified as an Principal Arterial is a {{Major Highway}}.
| |
| * A locally-maintained road classified as a Collector is a {{Primary Street}}.

| === Locking ===
| |
| | |
| Tennessee currently observes the following Locking Levels for Functional Classifications:
| |
| {| border="1" cellpadding="2" style="text-align:center;"
| |
| !|Segment Type
| |
| !|Abbr.
| |
| !|Lock
| |
| |-
| |
| ||{{Freeway}} ||Fw ||5
| |
| |-
| |
| ||{{Ramp}}
| |
| |colspan=2 |Highest lock of connected segment
| |
| |-
| |
| ||{{Major Highway}} ||MH ||4
| |
| |-
| |
| ||{{Minor Highway}} ||mH ||3
| |
| |-
| |
| ||{{Primary Street}} ||PS ||2
| |
| |-
| |
| ||{{Street}} ||N/A ||Automatic (1)
| |
| |}
| |
| | |
| ----
| |
| | |
| | |
| Regarding Local and Alternate Names:
| |
| | |
| In situations where a highway passes through a town, the road in those areas is typically named something other than the numbered route. In these situations the road should be named based on the following conditions:
| |
| If the local street signs provide guidance with the local name, that should be used as the primary name in the Waze map. The numbered route should be added as an alternate name.
| |
| If the local signs only indicate the route number, then that should be the primary name and and the local road name should be added as an alternate name.
| |
| | |
| Example: TN-13 in Waverly, TN has a Local Name of S Church St. (as indicated my signage). The Primary Street Name of the segments is S Church St., while TN-13 is listed as an Alternate Street Name.
| |
| | |
| | |
| Regarding Overlapping Highways:
| |
| | |
| When two or more numbered highways (or interstates) run concurrently (one stretch of road has multiple route numbers), the segment should be named after the primary of the routes. The primary route will usually have one or more of the following attributes:
| |
| The route whose mile markers are used for the concurrent segment
| |
| The route whose exit numbers are used for the concurrent segment
| |
| When the concurrency ends, the route whose path does not get signed as a numbered exit.
| |
