| == Road Classification Guide==
| | [https://www.waze.com/wiki/Washington Washington Wiki Published Page] |
| See [[Road Naming (USA)]], [[Road Types (USA)]]
| |
| | |
| Most of the state's roads are typed according to [http://www.wsdot.wa.gov/MapsData/Tools/FunctionalClass/ WSDOT functional classification], as listed below. Most of the state road types are set to WSDOT's map. Of course, there are always exceptions, so the Functional Class map isn't biblical truth, but if we map the roads according to WSDOT's FC map the [https://www.waze.com/wiki/Routing_server routing] choices will be a lot better!

| === Anywhere ===
| |
| WSDOT Freeways are mapped as Waze Freeways.
| |
| | |
| === Urban ===
| |
| Definition of Urban: Any area that WSDOT has classified as urban in the [http://www.wsdot.wa.gov/MapsData/Tools/FunctionalClass/ WSDOT functional classification map]. Urban areas are colored tan in the FC map.
| |
| | |
| WSDOT Other Freeway / Expressway are mapped as Waze Major Highway.
| |
| | |
| WSDOT Major Arterials are mapped as Waze Minor Highways.
| |
| | |
| WSDOT Minor Arterials, any collector (classed in any way) are mapped as Waze Primary Streets.
| |
| | |
| === Rural ===
| |
| Definition of Rural: Any area that WSDOT has not classified as urban in the [http://www.wsdot.wa.gov/MapsData/Tools/FunctionalClass/ WSDOT functional classification map]. Rural areas are colored white in the FC map

| | |
| === Alleys ===
| |
| *Alleys should always be mapped if they have a name.
| |
| *Alleys should always be mapped if they are the sole access to a home or business.
| |
| *Alleys should always be set to "Private"
| |
| *Alleys are normally mapped if they are acknowledged by the municipality.
| |
| If an alley does not meet the above criteria, mapping is optional. Leave the name field blank.
| |
| | |
| === Non-Driveable Roads ===
| |
| Generally, if a path can't be driven on (e.g. Walking Trail, Pedestrain Boardwalk, Stairway, Railroad, Runway/Taxiway) then it is not mapped. If it is mapped, it should not be connected to any roads. This is due to the way the routing engine works, as Waze '''will''' route users to drive on these "Non-Driveable" road types.
| |
| | |
| It is permitted to map passenger Railroads (e.g., Amtrak, Sounder, Mt. Rainier Scenic Railroad) because some users run Waze while on the train and contribute false data to the system. This false data has been known to effect drivers on adjacent roads. Railroads should be level -5 and locked at the highest level of the editor.
| |
| | |
| === Driveways ===
