Generally, if a road can't be driven on (e.g. Walking Trail, Pedestrain 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&nbsp;'''WILL'''&nbsp;route users to drive on these "Non-Drivable" road types. Please note there are several Railroads mapped in Texas, these railroads are mapped in a&nbsp;'''''VERY'''''&nbsp;particular manner by Senior Area Managers and Country Managers to prevent Waze from routing on them.

Waze has been designed to be an open community with various levels of editors. Rank 5 and 6 editors are to be respected at all times and most of their instructions are to be followed. If you have any questions or issues, please feel free to PM one of the rank 6s or 5s in the list (if you're having a problem with one, please PM the regional coordinators). We will try to handle the issue as quickly and peacefully as possible.
 
It is not possible to list every occurrence of problems which can occur in the editor, but the following are some examples of what has happened in the past:
 
*Deleting and redrawing roads
*Creating mass amounts of parking lot roads
*Creating roads on top of already existing roads
*Disrespect to higher ranking editors
*Not cleaning up your own mess
 
Everyone is allowed one free pass, but disciplinary actions after the first occurrence may include:
 
*Formal mentoring
*Temporary suspension of editing rights
*Permanent suspension of editing rights

== Information related to using Waze in the State of Texas.  

==

Cities and towns

== There are 6386 Cities and Towns spread across 254 counties in the state. See Cities in Texas for proper naming information. 

==

Major roads

== See Road names/USA & Road types/USA.

As of this time, Texas is NOT participating in the new Functional Classification of roads. 

==

Landmarks

== In late 2012 a discussion was started in the Connecticut Section of the Waze Forum that determined the existing worldwide guideline of "don't map individual businesses" wasn't enough and we needed a more complete set of guidelines for landmarks in worldwide. As a result of that discussion a set of guidelines was created. If you wish to propose changes to these guidelines, please do so in the forum. As always, the worldwide rule of "don't map individual businesses" still applies.

Please do not forget that a recent update to WME has enabled the Address properties for Landmarks (City, State & Country) and ensure this information is filled out & correct. 

==

When to use Area or Point in Texas

== Here is the Texas guidance on selecting Area or Point for Places in the Waze Map Editor. All areas are to be landmarked from fence line to fence line to include all parking lots, roads, and anything associated with the property.

Major construction projects

Non-drivable roads

== Generally, if a road can't be driven on (e.g. Walking Trail, Pedestrain 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 Texas, these railroads are mapped in a VERY particular manner by Senior Area Managers and Country Managers to prevent Waze from routing on them.

Speed / red light cameras

== Red Light Cameras are are LEGAL in the State of Texas.

Contrary to popular belief, these cameras do not sit on the top of lights at an intersection. If you've gotten to an intersection, you've already passed the red light camera.These cameras mounted on traffic signals are used as part of the signal control. These compare sequential images of the intersection approach to determine if there is a vehicle (car, truck, motorcycle, bicycle, etc) waiting and will trigger the sequence. These devices CANNOT issue tickets.

There are traditional traffic monitoring cameras covering most of the major highways in the state. These send live feeds to the various traffic agencies around the state and are for monitoring traffic only.

How to Identify Cameras.

Speed cameras are currently ILLEGAL in the State of Texas. Any request for a speed camera, or any approved speed cameras need to be removed from the map.
