Tennessee follows the standard USA guidelines for all of the following special road types.
Generally, if a road can't be driven on (i.e. Walking Trail, Pedestrian Boardwalk, Stairway, Railroad, Runway/Taxiway) then it should not be mapped in Waze. This is due to the way the routing engine works, as Waze '''WILL''' route users to drive on these "Non-Drivable" road types.

=== Non-Drivable Roads ===
Generally, if a road can't be driven on (i.e. Walking Trail, Pedestrian Boardwalk, Stairway, Railroad, Runway/Taxiway) then it should not be mapped in Waze. This is due to the way the routing engine works, as Waze '''WILL''' route users to drive on these "Non-Drivable" road types. Please note there are several Railroads mapped in Tennessee, these are due to users incorrectly running Waze while on the train & contributing false data to the system.  This false data has been known to effect drivers on adjacent roads. These railroads are mapped in a '''''VERY''''' particular manner by Senior Area Managers and Country Managers to prevent Waze from routing on them.


==== Toll Roads ====
There are currently no toll roads in the state, so there should be no road segments with the 'toll road' checkbox enabled.

Generally, if a road can't be driven on (i.e. Walking Trail, Pedestrian Boardwalk, Stairway, Railroad, Runway/Taxiway) then it should not be mapped in Waze. This is due to the way the routing engine works, as Waze WILL route users to drive on these "Non-Drivable" road types.

Toll Roads

There are currently no toll roads in the state, so there should be no road segments with the 'toll road' checkbox enabled. .
