PA Federal Classification vs. Waze

Step-by-step

Waze is in the process of implementing the Functional Classification types in Waze. This means that waze editors need to label PA roads according to the following:

• The PA Functional Classification category as found on the PA FC maps [here]
• The PA State Road maps [here]
• Specific rules on PA road classification on the PA Wiki Standards [here]
• Local knowledge and other information described on the Wiki Standards [USA Road Types here]

When there is a difference in information, you will generally pick the higher highway category. For example, if the PA State map shows a road is 4-digit State Route, but it's not shown in the PA Functional Classification map, it would still be shown as a Primary Street (per PA Wiki Standards). On the other hand, the PA FC map will often promote roads beyond Primary Street based on the road's use.

Notes on FCU state vs. Waze

The color codes used on the PA FC maps use a different color code compared to those used in the Waze Map Editor. The following table is for reference with map FC name followed by Waze name:

• State Route 4 digit (not special in FC) (orange) - Primary Street (orange)
• Minor Collector (yellow) - Primary Street (orange)
• Major Collector (purple) - Primary Street (orange)

• Minor Arterial (green) - Minor Highway (yellow)

• Principle Arterial (red) - Major Highway (red)
• Other Freeways (cinnamon) - Freeway (blue) or Highway (red)
• Interstate (cyan) - Freeway (blue)
