Duplicate Cities
Greater XXX Area
File a City form, using the Merge option, to Merge it with city XXX
- This avoids duplicate identical cities on dropdowns in WME
- Duplicate nearby City IDs can make "Select Entire Street" not work and cause multi-select to show "No common street, No common city"
XXX (2)
If far away, File a City form, using the Rename option, to Rename it to XXX
- This keeps a separate city ID for the far away city, allowing separate polygons to be drawn
If nearby, File a City form, using the Merge option, to Merge it to XXX
- Similar to Greater XXX Area
No City, duplicate is far away
- Submit city form (Which action?), Waze Staff adds one segment, Editor adds city to segments manually in WME
No City, duplicate is nearby
- No form, Editor adds city to segments manually in WME
No City, city name doesn't exist
- L4 creates City, Editor adds city to segments manually in WME

General
Street vs PLR
- How is this defined?
- Does Street mean it's a government-maintained road?
- What about the main road in a Mall, Office Park, or Apartment Complex?
PLRs not named
- Prevents repetitive turn instructions
- Known side effect: inheritance of main road name
- What if it "feels like" a Street and has signs? Does this make it a Street? (See previous question)

Elevation
- https://wiki.waze.com/wiki/Creating_and_editing_road_segments#Road_elevation is very basic
- https://wiki.waze.com/wiki/Overpasses,_Underpasses_and_Bridges just covers the mechanics of it in WME
- https://wiki.waze.com/wiki/Elevation_-_bringing_the_Seagull_to_Australia is more like what we're looking for - but I'm told it's out-of-date.
- https://wiki.waze.com/wiki/Pennsylvania/Speed_limit_mapraid#Elevation_Guidelines - Is this what we want?
- Do we elevate freeways over bridges over water?
