Generally alleys are not mapped in Wisconsin. Alleys are drivable roads passing between or behind buildings and are not intended for thru-traffic. They can be an important component in routing when primary access is not on a local street or drivers start or end a route on an alley. However, their existence also presents many routing problems. Please avoid mapping alleys unless they meet the criteria set below:

Alleys should only be considered for mapping when- <br />
a) the main access to a business entrance is on an alley, <br />
b) a parking lot entrance is in an alley, <br />
c) current GPS tracks support a residential alley that is frequently used and would benefit from being added to the map, or<br />
d) a UR indicates an alley should be added. <br />
Please do not add every alley in a residential neighborhood. 

All alleys should have their road type set to {{Parking Lot Road|Parking Lot Road}},  should be named "Alley", and speed limit should be set to 15mph unless otherwise posted.

Please consult with an LAM or SM before adding or removing alleys to verify whether a certain alley would meet the criteria to be mapped.

== Speed Limits ==

Wisconsin has no variances from the USA Speed Limits wiki: [[Speed_limits/USA | USA Speed Limits Wiki]]

=== Speed Limit Effective-Location for Wisconsin ===

Speed Limits in Wisconsin change at the sign. This is important when determining where speed limit changes should be marked on the Waze map. USA guidance for states that "change at the sign" is given [[Speed_limits/USA#State_law_speed_limit_changes_at_the_sign | here]].

Where speed limits change is an important decision for clear guidance to drivers. There are many considerations for appropriately marking speed limit changes on the map. Editors, especially new editors, should be familiar with the USA Speed Limits wiki, a link to which is shown above. 

For example, if there is an intersection within 200 feet of the speed limit sign, then the speed-change location should be made at that intersection. If the speed-change location is within 200 feet of an existing junction node, not an intersection, then we don't add a new junction node. 

Alleys in Wisconsin - max speed is <b>15 mph</b> unless posted otherwise.

Always refer to the USA Speed Limits wiki for guidance, and check with your Area or State Managers for clarification if needed.

== Update Requests ==

Wisconsin is using the [[USA/Great Lakes/Test#Update Requests | Great Lakes region Update Requests Response System]]:

=== Overview ===

NOTE: all day values are relative to the date the FIRST editor response is sent to the reporter.

'''Response Timeline'''
* '''Day 0''': the first editor who is able to respond to UR should attempt to resolve the UR. If they are successful, they should comment as such in the UR and mark it closed. If more information from the reporter is required to make progress towards closure, a response should be sent to the reporter containing the information needed for resolution
* '''Day 4+''': polite reminders should be sent to reporters who have not responded to the initial request for information at any time, provided at least four full days have elapsed since the initial response was sent.
* '''Day 8+''': URs may be noted as closed due to lack of reporter response at any time, provided at least four full days have elapsed since the followup message was sent
'''Shared Ownership:'''
* All editors are considered to have equal ownership of and responsibility for all URs in the Great Lakes Region.
* All editors, regardless if they have worked the UR previously, may send any of the responses described above, provided they adhere to the minimum time spacing guidance between responses.
* All editors are explicitly encouraged to attempt resolving URs at any point during their lifecycle, even if others happen to be actively working it at the same time
'''Notes:'''
* The ideal timeline for UR response is when responses are sent as early as the minimum required time spacing between messages permits; experience has reliably shown that UR response rates are much higher when editors are able to send responses promptly
* While strongly recommended, it is not required to send the followup message.
