Naming of Roads and Roundabouts

The name of a road or roundabout consists of 3 sections of information:

• Street
• City
• Country

(currently Waze does not support "province level" in Vietnam)

In addition, for the field of "Alternate Name", ......?

Street

Name for Streets

Street names shall be used in accordance to the following formtas:

• Motorway (Cao tốc): use the original street name??
  • Examples:

• QL, TL, HL: code(space)number
  • Examples: QL 1, TL 44, HL 5

• Normal Streets: use the original street name (without prefix "Đường").

If you do not understand Vietnamese, there could be chances of mis-interpreting the street names. Example: A street with the name "Dương Bạch Mai", could be mis-interpreted as "Đường Bạch Mai", therefore used as "Bạch Mai".

Name for Roundabouts

Do not input the field of "Street" for roundabouts. Tick "None".
