*'''Toll Roads''' - There are currently no tolls in Connecticut. No segments within the state of Connecticut should be marked as 'Toll Road'


*'''Non-drivable roads''' - Generally, if a road can't be driven on (e.g. 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 Connecticut, 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.
*'''Pedestrian Boardwalk and Walking Trail''' - These should not be mapped without approval from a State Manager for CT. These segment types can cause routing issues even when not connected to a driveable segment.
