Address Problems

Address not Accepted

In House Numbers in WME you will find error described as "Number already exists: House number already exists somewhere on the same selected segments. This means that somewhere in the state there is another segment with the same house number, primary street name, and primary city name combination".
Finding the duplicate number at times can be difficult. Check for:

• Number hidden behind number - you may have to move each number slightly to check.
• Check for segments not highlighted. When you Edit HNs, WME may not select the entire street - City match, Speed match, and others. Check connecting segments that were not open for edit but may have number out of order.

Distance from Street

WME will not allow House Numbers or Residential Point Places to be placed far from the street segment to which it should be linked. The following are some scenarios with acceptable work-arounds only as a last resort.

Long Shared Private Driveway

When more than one residence shares an un-named long private driveway and not a recognized named private street, it can create several problems. Order of the House Numbers may not be intuitive as the residence behind could have a number not expected. The WME will not allow House Numbers or Residential Point Places beyond 100 feet from the connected segment.

• First work-around is create a private road for the private driveway or edit the existing and name as the same named local street. Attach the House Numbers to the private street extension.

Closure Problems

Closure Cannot be set Pending Updates

Closures can be complicated by pending tile updates for changed segments. A common mistake to create a small segment for a closure is to attempt to divide a long segment to minimize the closure. Once a segment is changed, a closure cannot be set because of the pending segment has not been released by tile updates.

• A work-around can be accomplished by using 2-way restrictions effectively closing the street.
