| |
| == Road (Segment) Types ==
| |
| | |
| Determining road types in the Southeast aligns with the Waze '''[[Road_types|USA Standard]]''' for freeway, major highway, minor highways, and primary streets. The Waze USA standard is a hybrid system based on a national standard called "functional classification" with a few modifications.
| |
| | |
| '''[[National_resources/Functional_classification|Functional classification maps]]''' are available for most states. Compliance across state borders is important to insure better route selections between states; however, editors in some states have deferred adoption of the '''[[Road_types|USA Standard]]''' due to in-state concerns. If you edit in any region than the Southeast, you must comply with that '''[[Mapping_resources|state's recommendations]]'''.
| |
| | |
| Although the Waze '''[[Road_types|USA Standard]]''' permits some road-type selection deviation, at present no Southeast deviations are permitted, but may be in the future.
| |
| | |
| === Minimum Road Type Standards ===
| |
| | |
| * Interstate = {{freeway}}
| |
| * US Hwy = {{Major Highway}} (MH)
| |
| * State Roads = {{Minor Highway}} (mH)
| |
| | |
| === Road Segment Naming ===
| |
| | |
| * {{freeway|Interstates: I-xx}}
| |
| * {{Major Highway|US Hwy: US-xx}}
| |
| * {{Minor Highway|State Road/Rte/Hwy: SR-xx}}
| |
| * {{Primary Street|County Rte/Hwy: CR-xx}}
| |
| * '''Parking Lot Roads''' -- We do not name parking lot roads in the SER. Consult with your State Manager if you think a parking lot road segment should be named.
| |
| | |
| Often when US Hwys, State Roads, and County Roads pass through municipalities, they have a local name (e.g, "Main St"). Please see '''[[Road_names|Road Names]]''' for instructions on how to name these segments. Check '''[[Highway_naming|here]]''' for other states. Note that Freeway and Ramp segments do not have an included city name. Select the 'none' checkbox beside the city field for these types of road segments.
| |
| | |
| === Road Segment Locking ===
| |
| | |
| In Bahamas we have a set minimum standard for locking roads based on segment type. Any road of a certain segment type must be locked at least to the rank (level) in the chart below. Roads may be locked higher for protection and special situations (areas with construction, tricky design, frequent mistakes, imaging inaccuracies, and the like), but should not be locked lower.
| |
| | |
| A great time to implement these locks is while bringing the road types of an area into compliance with the current country standards.

| ===When to Split a Two-Way Road===
| |
| | |
| Generally, a road should be undivided unless it meets ALL of the requirements for dividing a road. When initially reviewing whether to divide or "un-divide" (merge back together) a roadway, consider these points first:
| |
| | |
| # The default representation for any roadway is a single 2-way segment, even if the physical roadway is divided. Dividing a roadway carries with it the burden of proof that the change will improve the usability and/ or simplicity of the Waze map.
| |
| # If a road is currently working with no problem reports, consider leaving it as is.
| |
| # Prior to splitting a road, send a PM to one of the [[Southeast#Southeast_Editors_.28Key_Personnel.29|State Managers or Southeast Regional Coordinators]].
| |
| # Try to avoid switching roads back and forth between being divided and 2-way. For example, if most of the road is clearly divided and only parts would be considered a single two-way road, consider leaving it all divided. If only a small portion seems better off divided, consider keeping it all 2-way.
| |
| <br/>
| |
| | |
| '''A road may be divided when <u>ALL</u> of the following conditions are met:'''
| |
| | |
| * GPS tracks show a clearly definable and continuous gap (blank area) between the color-by-azimuth arrows at the 100m/500ft [[Map_Editor_Interface_and_Controls#Scale|zoom level]],
| |
| * Multiple houses or businesses with no off-street parking are located directly on the street but are not accessible from the opposite direction of travel due to lengthy median, obstruction, or traffic control signage, or
| |
| * U-turns are required to properly make turns from public driveable road types that are blocked by a median.
| |
| | |
| '''A road should <u>not</u> be divided when:'''
| |
| * There is a curb or non-driveable median less than 5m wide between lanes of travel (see exceptions above).
| |
| * The non-driveable median is interrupted by a cross segment at most intersections.
| |
| * There is a center turn lane (any width) between directions of travel. Dividing this type of road creates problems when people turn from the middle lane because there is no road for the navigation to follow.
| |
| * It is possible and legal to make a left turn/u-turn everywhere along the road
| |
| * The objective is solely for visual appearance or to make the road match another visual source like Google Maps. <font color="red">'''MATCHING GOOGLE (or any other map product) IS NOT A REASON.'''</font>
| |
| {{clear}}
| |
| | |
| Remember that dividing and undividing roads each comes with its own set of problems. Each situation is unique and some issues may be more manageable with a single two-way road, and some may work fine with a divided road. Consider every aspect of routing, and carefully examine each junction before dividing or undividing. Regardless of whether you're dividing or undividing, remember that you might cause more problems than you solve and you might have to put it back the way it was before. Also remember that dividing and undividing each cause loss of some traffic data, which can result in poor Waze routing.

| ===Private Road Segments===
| |
| | |
| '''[[Southeast/PrivateRoads|Click here]]''' for guidance for use of the Private Road Segment in the Southeast.
| |
| | |
| === True Elevation ===
| |
| | |
| <font color="red">'''NOTE: If you have any questions please seek guidance from one of the State Managers.'''</font>
| |
| | |
| The Southeast Region uses the concept of True Elevation (TE) to better represent segments in relationship with its surroundings/ground level. Most segments should have an elevation of Ground unless they pass over another segment, waterway, or natural feature. '''Drivable and non-drivable segments are handled the same way with elevation'''.
| |
| | |
| '''Definitions'''
| |
| | |
| ''Bridge''
| |
| | |
| * Segment travels over another segment (also known as Overpass).
| |
| * Segment travels over a large river or large body of water.
| |
| * Segment artificially elevated to pass over large ground level objects and large natural features.
| |
| | |
| ''Tunnel''
| |
| | |
| A tunnel is any road segment that is underground and thus the GPS reception is inconsistent.
| |
| | |

| !'''Segment over water without True Elevation'''
| |
| !'''Segment over water with True Elevation'''
| |
| |}
| |
| | |
| '''Implementation'''
| |
| | |
| * Elevation of overlapping segments should be set relative to each other, with the lowest segment as Ground (unless that segment is a tunnel).
| |
| * Only elevate/lower the actual bridge/tunnel section of the road.
| |
| * Bridges should be cut at the start/end of the bridge where the land falls away. You can usually see guardrail at the start/end of the bridge section. Also the pavement type may change (Asphalt to Concrete for example).
| |
| ** Do not '''cut segments''' for elevation purposes if the bridge starts/stops within 60m/200ft of an existing junction.
| |
| ** Maintain some uniformity for display purposes when determining where to make the splits.
| |
| ** No need to elevate segments over every small creek or box culvert. Only elevate over significant waterways or natural features.
| |
| * Only set elevation as low/high as necessary. For example, no segment should be Elevation +2 unless it passes over another segment with Elevation +1.
| |
| | |
| * Tunneled segments shall have lower elevation, relative to ground and ''Tunnel'' should be checked.
| |
| * Only segments that are actually '''underground''' should have the negative elevation.
| |
| * Tunnels should be cut at least 15m/50ft before and after the tunnel, to allow time for the GPS to regain signal.
| |
| * '''The use of common sense is paramount in using True Elevation.'''
| |
| | |
| | |
| ''NOTE: If you use the Bridge tool to join segments, be aware that this will raise the elevation of the joined segment and you must lower the joined segment as appropriate.''
| |
| | |
| == Mapping Resources & Functional Classification ==
| |
| | |
| Use only state DOT level Functional Classification (FC) maps when determine how to type (classify) a segment (Major Hwy, Minor Hwy, etc.). Some counties and cities have their own FC system, but only the state level system is to be used as a reference as these have been through a federal and state level approval process.
| |
| | |
| *[[Waze_Map_Editor|Map Editor]]
| |
| *[[National_resources/Functional_classification|Functional Classification]] for other states.
| |
| | |
| ===Use of City Field===
| |
| '''<u>SEGMENTS:</u>'''
| |
| | |
| For '''Freeways''' and '''Ramps''', the "'''Primary City'''" name should always be marked "'''None'''". (There is no "Alternate City".)
| |
| | |
| For '''All Other Segments''',
| |
| * The "'''Primary City'''" name should be an incorporated municipality or a CDP (Census Designated Place) '''if''' that segment is confirmed to be within the established geographic limits. If a segment does not lie within one of these, the "'''Primary City'''" should be marked "'''None'''". Instructions on how to select the appropriate city name are set forth in [[USA/Southeast/Determining Primary City Field|Determining Primary City Name.]]
| |
| * The "'''Alternate City'''" name is always the city named in the USPS mailing address. If the "'''Primary City'''" name is the same as the USPS city, an "'''Alternate City'''" name is not needed. Segments may have multiple "'''Alternate City'''" names which are valid and approved for use by the USPS.
| |
| * '''Duplicate City Names''': You may find cities and/or CDPs with exactly the same name. If you believe you have encountered a city or CDP that is a duplicate of another in the same state, first confirm the findings with your State Manager(s) (SMs). Your SM will facilitate the necessary naming changes. The convention for dealing with duplicate city/CDP names is as follows:
| |
| **Two cities of the same name (append county to the city with the smallest population) (See two cities example in the table below)
| |
| **City and (at least one) CDP of the same name (append county to CDP(s) name) (See city with one or more CDP example) If there are multiple CDPs sharing a name with a city, all CDPs will have county name appended.
| |
| **CDP and (at least one) CDP of the same name (append county to the CDP with the smallest population) (See two or more CDPs example in the table below). The largest CDP is the only CDP that will not have the county appended to the name.
| |
| ** When the county name is appended, use this format (County Co). As an example, Orange County would be appended exactly as "(Orange Co)"

| |
| * For '''RPP'''s, use the USPS mailing address city for the "'''City'''" name.

| | |
| | |
| == Update Requests & Comments ==
| |
| | |
| The southeast follows the national [[Update Requests in Waze Map Editor|Update Requests (UR) & Comments]] guidance with the following exceptions:
| |
| | |
| Do not leave reminders at 4 days (or at any other time).
| |
| | |
| If you are the only editor to comment on a UR and all three of the following conditions apply:
| |
| # This UR has no information from the reporter in the “Problem” field that suggests a solution.
| |
| # There is no responding comment from the reporter/driver.
| |
| # There is no obvious issue to be resolved after surveying the map, the Waze route and the GPS track (if that information is included).
| |
| This UR can be closed when your comment is 5 days old.
| |
| | |
| If another editor left a comment for a reporter, there is no response from the reporter, AND the comment is at least 8 days old....look to see if you can solve the issue. If it can’t be solved simply put a comment about why it's being closed (i.e. "Closed due to inactivity.") and mark it Not Identified.
| |
| | |
| Do not over complicate the UR process. Please do not leave lengthy responses/questions. There are UR comment scripts that have been designed and approved by higher ranked editors available for your use. [[Scripts|Scripts Page]]
| |
| | |
| (Tip: [https://greasyfork.org/scripts/28387-wme-urcomments-usa-southeast WME URComments Southeast] is a script containing approved comments for use in the Southeast and is to be used with the main script [[Scripts/URComments|WME URComments]].)
| |
| | |

| The southeast follows the national [[Places]] guidance. The following exceptions to the national guidance are NOT mapped:
| |
| | |
| *interchanges/junctions
| |
| *water of any kind
| |
| *islands
| |
| *beaches
| |
| *toll plazas
| |
| | |
| Any exceptions to this rule will be locked to 5 or above. There are some rivers mapped as requested by Waze staff, but this is not the standard.
| |
| | |
| Exceptions to a point or area that ARE mapped in the southeast:
| |
| *Post Office is an area
| |
| *Library is an area
| |

| |
| '''IMPORTANT''' Please do not work Place Update Requests (PUR) zoomed all the way out. Please zoom in to the place, make sure it's in the correct spot, and run the [https://www.waze.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=819&t=239985 WME Place Harmonizer script] to make sure everything is correct and entered. We want to make sure waze has the best experience for the drivers, so finding a place in search and getting to their destination accurately is extremely important!
| |
| | |
| ===Place Requirements & Lock Standards===
| |
| | |
| Places may be locked '''''only''''' after the following information, at a minimum, is present: 1) correct name, 2) correct, complete address, 3) correct category, and 4) External Provider (google link), if one exists.
| |
| * '''RPP'''s must have a complete mailing address and an Entry Point must be set. (A google link is not required for an RPP.)
| |
| * For '''Parking Lots''' (PLAs), add an external provider '''ONLY IF''' it is a separate link to ''that'' '''PARKING LOT'''. (<span style="color:red">'''DO NOT ADD'''</span> a glink for a business ''served'' by the PLA.)
| |
| * For '''Gas Stations''', '''IF''' the brand of gas is not identified, leave the brand field blank. (<span style="color:red">'''DO NOT ADD'''</span> the brand selection "UNBRANDED"'''. The gas station entry (or stop) point should be placed over the gas pumps.
| |
| * For Universities and Colleges please reference the document in the SER Repository.
| |
| * Restaurants and Fast Food places that have delivery services such as Doordash, Foodnow, and Ubereats should have '''delivery''' selected under services.
| |
| | |
| '''Lock at level 5''': Airports (and their PLAs), Arenas, Hospitals, Park and Ride lots, Highway Rest Areas, Urgent Care Centers, and Universities.
| |
| | |
| '''Lock at level 3''': All other Places including PPs, APs, PLAs, and RPPs.
| |
| | |
| If you are unable to lock a Place high enough (due to level limitations), please lock it as high as you can. Then, post an up-lock request for help in the [https://www.waze.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=622 USA Unlock Forum] or the [https://discord.me/southeast unlock channel] on the SER Discord server.
| |
| | |
| ===Place Mapping Guidance===
| |
| | |
| ====Apartment/Condo/Townhouse Complexes====
| |
| | |
| Map apartment complexes using the category of "Other" and set the place point (PP) at the leasing office when it is located in close proximity (you can see it from the main road in Street View or within a couple hundred yards) to the Main/Visitor usable entrance. (Most often the leasing office will be near this entrance and, if not, signage will guide the wazer.) If there is no obvious leasing office or if it is not near the main entrance, place the PP off to the side of the main road that leads to the main entrance. Set the entry point just inside the main/visitor entrance. Our goal is to get wazers to the complex regardless of whether a resident, potential renter, or visitor.
| |
| | |
| Add the apartment complex information as you would for any other PP. If necessary, the description field can be used for additional important information. For example, apartments are open 24/7 for residents/visitors and the leasing office hours are different. If appropriate, note the leasing office hours in the description (similar to how it is done for a pharmacy within a store).
| |
| | |
| '''DO NOT map PPs''' for clubhouses or the leasing offices separately for apartment/condo/townhouse complexes. (The single place point for the complex is sufficient.)
| |
| | |
| ====Gas Stations====
| |
| '''- Verify that brand is correct''' (the field with dropdown near the bottom). If the brand of gas is not identified, leave the field blank. '''{{font color|red|DO NOT use}}''' the brand selection 'UNBRANDED'.
| |
| | |
| '''- Ensure that the [[Places/Gas_station#Name|gas station name]] is correct'''.
| |
| | |
| SER follows the national guidance for [[Places/Gas_station|Gas Stations]] with the following exceptions:
| |
| | |
| : • The gas station "Entry" point is placed over the gas pumps.
| |
| : • We '''{{font color|red|DO NOT add}}''' a U-turn to PLRs for a gas station.
| |
| | |
| ====Housing Developments/Communities====
| |
| | |
| '''We DO NOT map''' '''place points''' (PPs) ''specifically'' for housing developments or communities (aka subdivisions/neighborhoods). (Waze routes effectively to the street address for each building in the community.)
| |
| | |
| '''For gated neighborhoods, IF''' we receive multiple UR’s for bad routing ''which'' is due to multiple entrances ''and'' includes a residents-only gate, you may add a PP for the Main/Visitor gate. Make the primary name: Community Name “- Main Gate”, and the alternate: Community Name “ - Visitor Gate”. (Then, a wazer can add the gate PP as a stop on a route to the residence OR route to the gate PP and then route to the residence. Either method will address this routing issue.) Please contact SER Leadership for assistance with adding “gates” to a private community.
| |
| | |
| ====Places within other Places====
| |
| | |
| Sometimes you will find a place within a place. Set the place point at the building entrance AND note that it's inside the other business in the Name field. WMEPH will ignore the information inside the parenthesis and pull the correct harmonization information. EXAMPLES:
| |
| | |
| *Subway inside a Walmart --> " SUBWAY (inside Walmart) "
| |
| | |
| *CVS inside a Target --> " CVS (inside Target) "
| |
| | |
| ===Place Harmonization===
| |
| | |
| *Phone Numbers
| |
| :Places should follow one of the following telephone number formats: (XXX) XXX-XXXX or XXX-XXX-XXXX
| |
| | |
| *Webpages
| |
| :Except for public schools (who that make extensive efforts to keep their naming schemes), please use the simplest URL that will get you to a chain's homepage, do not link directly to the chains location specific page. Examples are in the sheet below. Be sure to check that the URL works before using it in WME or submitting it to the Place Name Harmonization form or using it for a place.
| |
| | |
| ====Chain Harmonization Sheet====
| |
| | |
| :The name spellings in the following sheet have been standardized for chains or franchises so that Wazers will receive consistent results when searching in the client. Please use them when you edit one of these chain or franchise businesses. The [https://www.waze.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=819&t=215657 script WMEPH] streamlines this process by automatically detecting those chains in the Name Field and inputting the information from this sheet.

| If any of these IDs or their order are changed through cutting, merging, disconnection or deletion, the toll price file will not work. Much more detailed information is in the Waze Wiki for Tolls. [[usa:Toll#Prices|https://wazeopedia.waze.com/wiki/USA/Toll#Prices]]

| '''<u>{{font color|red|The Southeast region maps per Toll Road national guidance EXCEPT in the following situation}}</u>''':
| |
| <br />'''ALL''' segments of a road with tolls '''should be marked''' with the “This is a toll road” attribute. To do this:
| |
| # Press “Add Restrictions” menu button in WME.
| |
| # Next, select the blue checkbox for “Toll road”.
| |
| # Then click on the Apply” button.
| |
| <br/><u>'''Reminder'''</u>: For bridges or causeways, mark only the segment with the toll booth as a “Toll road”. If only one direction is tolled,
| |
| <u>divide the road</u> where the toll is collected AND <u>mark only the segment</u> with the toll booth as a toll road.

| | |
| === Narrow Street ===
| |
| | |
| Narrow Streets are not used on the islands.
| |
| | |
| === Non-driveable Roads ===
| |
| | |
| Generally, if a path can't be driven on (e.g. Walking Trail, Pedestrian Boardwalk, Stairway) then it is not mapped. Waze is a driving app, not a pedestrian, bicycle, or flying app.
| |
| | |
| === Emergency Vehicle and DOT Service Roads ===
| |
| | |
| We do not map Emergency Vehicle and DOT Service Roads.
| |
| | |
| === Ferries ===
| |
| | |
| For areas where residents are dependent upon ferries, see the [[Ferries|Ferries Editing Manual]].
| |
| | |
| === Parking Lot Roads ===
| |
| '''<u>{{font color|red|The Southeast region maps per PLR national guidance EXCEPT for the following situations}}</u>''':
| |
| * Do not add U-turns to ANY PLR segment (including those for PLAs and gas stations) and,
| |
| * Do not map [[Best_map_editing_practice#Two_parking_lots_connected_to_the_same_street|transition penalty segments]] unless the problem was documented in an Update Request.
| |
| | |
| === Railroads ===
| |
| | |
| There are no [[Road_types#Railroad|Railroads]] on the Bahamas.
| |
| | |
| == Segment & Turn Restrictions ==
| |
| | |
| ===U-Turns===
| |
| In the Southeast where legally allowed, roads with medians (earthen, curbed, or striped pavement) or dedicated turn lanes should have U-turns enabled.
| |
| * '''[[Alabama/Mapping Resources#Turning on curve or crest of grade prohibited.|Alabama Code: Turning on curve or crest]]'''
| |
| * '''[[USA/Southeast/Florida/Mapping resources#316.1515.E2.80.83Limitations on turning around|Florida Statutes: Limitations on turning around]]'''
| |
| * '''[[Georgia/Mapping Resources|Georgia Code: U-Turns]]'''
| |
| | |
| | |
| '''<u>{{font color|red|Reminder}}: The Southeast region {{font color|red|DOES NOT ADD U-Turns to PLRs}} FOR Gas Stations and Parking Lot Areas (PLAs).</u>'''
| |
| | |
| ===Closed Roads===
| |
| | |
| Temporary Road Closures are the preferred method for road closures in the Southeast. Please contact a State Manager or higher for any of the closure types listed below. They will be happy to help with these.
| |
| | |
| # [[Major Traffic Event]]s
| |
| # [http://support.google.com/waze/answer/6080884 Temporary Road Closures]
| |
| # [[Scheduled restrictions]]
| |
| # Disconnect road segments - In some cases it may be best to completely disconnect road segments. Please consult your Area Manager or higher for advice before disconnecting a segment.
| |
| | |
| | |
| For Mega Events we need advance notice so they will appear in the app and we can get the proper closure sheet for the event.
| |
| There are four methods to control traffic flow:
| |
| | |
| Please refer to the [[Partial_restrictions|Partial Restrictions]] wiki for further guidance.
