Informal mentoring helps everyone involved and happens all the time.  It is not tracked or managed.  Keep doing what you do and have fun!  The following ideas and resources might be useful as you think about your need for training and mentoring or your desire to help others.

[[File:Junction-box-map.png|right|260px]]Junction boxes (JBs) are used to improve ETA calculations and routing through complicated intersections, and interchanges. Junction boxes are basically a hint editors can give the Waze routing services that “although these few segments are cut in a few places, they generally should be treated as a single point which connects traffic from several sources”. This hint helps the routing service get better ETA calculations and hence select better routes for Wazers.<br />

* Editors asking and answering questions in the forums and live chat.
<br />
* Can take place anytime, without any special process to set up the interaction.
The junction box enables a complex intersection, or interchange composed and displayed as multiple segments to be treated by the routing server as a single junction node with multiple inputs and outputs. Considering a complex intersection as a single point has several beneficial properties:
* There is no approval process to be an informal mentor.
<br />
* Advice can range from exceptionally good to highly questionable depending upon the provider.
* Traffic speed data for each path through the junction box can be collected separately.
* Task oriented: solve a current problem in editing and nothing more (e.g., how to fix a particular junction that is giving bad directions or bad map appearance).
* [[Turn restriction|Turn restrictions]] can also be separately controlled for each path through the junction box.
* Generally lasts a few minutes or a few hours, with little to no recurring communication expected.
<br />
* Provides instant answers to questions, but cannot track the quality of the information provided.
For ETA purposes, the routing server does not consider segments wholly within the junction box, but rather treats the junction box as if all the segments which enter or exit the the junction box are connected to at a single junction node.<br />
* Not expected to significantly change the abilities of the Mentee and no expectation for change in rank during or after the mentorship.
<br />
 
Junction boxes are considered only by the routing server. Junction boxes have no effect on navigational prompts. Junction boxes have no visibility in the client or on the live map. Junction boxes do not effect the search engine; the origin or destination of route may be contained in a junction box.

__NOTOC__
 
{{Bottomline}}
* Ask a question in a Waze Forum.
* Ask for help in [[WME Chat]].
* Send a PM to a higher-level editor you have seen around Waze, or an Area Manager, State Manger, or Regional Coordinator for that region (check on your [[:Category:USA|state wiki]] for an Area Manager list).
* Utilize web conferencing/screen sharing to communicate with one or more editors while learning and editing on a project (there are many free tools for this, such as Google Hangouts).
* Establish a Google+ Communitiy to help local or regional editors learn from each other.
* Organize a local Meet-up of editors in your region for a Waze conversation over lunch.
