| ==== Introduction ====
| | <noinclude>{{:USA/CommonState/ReturnPurge|{{SubPage2}}}}<br/></noinclude> |
| | |
| Although {{RootPage2}} follows the general road naming and road type guidelines of the USA, there are some road naming rules specific to the Commonwealth that all {{RootPage2}} editors MUST follow.
| |
| | |
| They are included in this section.
| |
| | |
| ==== State Highway Naming ====
| |
| | |
| {{RootPage2}} uses the following naming conventions for routes:
| |
| | |
| * '''"US-##"''' for all US routes and highways.
| |
| * '''"MA-##"''' for all state routes and highways.
| |
| | |
| Note: Do '''NOT''' add Alternate Names to Freeways and US Highways in the state. Alternate names negatively affect routing in Waze.
| |
| | |
| <!-- ===== Roadway Nicknames ===== | |
| | |
| In every city, transportation landmarks are given nicknames. It can be very confusing to anyone not familiar with the area. This is a list of nicknames for roads in {{RootPage2}}. -->

| ==== Functional Classification ====

| |
| | |
| Waze USA has agreed to set a national standard in accordance with the FHWA manual for establishing road classification types in Waze. The following information is in relation to how this is to be understood/applied for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

| [[File:MassDotGIS.jpg|left|GIS Legend]]
| |
| The Massachusetts Classification and Color scheme come from the official Massachusetts D.O.T (massDOT) Federal Functional Classification (FC) map that is published by massDOT. The legend shows what classifications massDOT uses and what color is assigned to each class.
| |
| | |
| ''' ''Please refer to the GIS FC map found here, on the [http://www.massdot.state.ma.us/planning/Main/MapsDataandReports/Maps/FederalFunctionalClassification.aspx massDOT FC Maps] webpage.'' '''

| The numbers correspond to the Federal FC type indicated. (e.g. Federal Class 4 road is a Minor Arterial)
