Lock Levels
Ohio implements a version of the (still-solidifying) Great Lakes Region minimum lock levels for Waze road types:
- "Sensitive" Areas: L6
- 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
"Sensitive" Areas
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.
Ramps
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
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.
