Lock Levels

Ohio implements a version of the (still-solidifying) Great Lakes Region minimum lock levels for Waze road types:

• "Sensitive" Areas: L5
  • Determined on case-by-case basis by SMs with RC approval, but intended for rare cases such as major freeway interchanges where aerial imagery does not match reality due to construction, high-security private installations, etc.
•  Freeway : L5
•  Ramp : Highest Connected Segment (HCS)
• Advanced intersections (e.g., MUTI, RCUT, DLT): L4
•  Major Highway  (MH): L3
•  Minor Highway  (mH): L3
• Areas where aerial imagery does not match reality due to construction: L3
•  Primary Street  (PS)
  • One-way: L3
  • Two-way: L2
•  Street 
  • One-way: L2
  • One-way: L1
• All Others: L1

 Ramp  segments are locked to the highest level of all segments that they share a junction with. I.e. any ramp connected (directly or indirectly through other ramps) to a Freeway will have a minimum lock of L5; a ramp connecting an L3  Major Highway  and L2  Primary Street  will be minimum of L3.

One way  Primary Street  and  Street  sections have their minimum lock level set one lock level higher than their two-way equivalents to clearly demonstrate to other editors that the necessary research has been performed to confirm they are, in fact, one-way in real life.
