| == ''' Segments and Junctions''' ==
| |
| <b>Please notice that road types may differ from country to country</b>
| |

| |
| | |
| '''What is a segment?'''
| |
| | |
| In geometry, a line segment is a part of a line that is bounded by two end points.
| |
| | |
| In the Waze Map Editor, we use [[Glossary#segment|segments]] in order to draw new roads, as the definition above explained, that segment has to be bounded by two end points, what we call a [[Glossary#junction|junction]].
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| | |
| == '''Types of segments (Highways)''' ==
| |
| | |
| '''Highways'''
| |
| | |
| In the US we can find diferent types of highways, we set the segment according to the road size.

| '''Freeway [[Image:RoadBlue.png|200px]]'''
| |
| | |
| A freeway is a highway with separated lanes, and without traffic lights or stop signs.
| |
| | |
| Only interchanges (ramps) and other types of highways are used for entering or exiting a freeway.
| |
| | |
| Roads such as streets, primary streets etc. can't be connected.
| |

| | |
| '''Major Highway [[Image:Majorhighwayseg.png |200px]]'''
| |
| | |
| Major highways have two one way roads, their access and exits could be a ramp or a junction.
| |
| | |
| In the picture you can see a combination of both: some of the turns are controlled by traffic lights and some are by ramps.

| | |
| '''Minor Highway [[Image:RoadYell.png |200px]]'''
| |
| | |
| A minor highway is a narrow intercity road, has only junctions. usually has one lane on each direction, and is not separated.
| |
| | |
| Highways usually have intersections but there are certain cases in which highways have traffic lights.

| '''Ramp [[Image:Ramp.png |200px]]'''

| == '''Streets''' ==
| |
| | |
| Also in a city we can find different types of streets:
| |
| | |
| ----
| |
| | |
| '''Primary Street [[Image:Primary street.png|200px]]'''
| |
| | |
| A primary street is usually a two ways road with more than one lane to each direction, it doesn't have a separation wall. In order to enter or exit that kind of road we use junctions.
| |

| |
| | |
| '''Street [[Image:Street.png|200px]]'''

| '''Service Road [[Image:Service road.png|200px]]'''
| |
| | |
| Service roads are separated slow-speeds drivable roads, parallel to freeways/highways used as access points to buildings (usually used to reach gas stations).

| '''Pedestrian Boardwalk[[Image:Service road.png|200px]]'''

| |
| | |
| | |
| '''Roundabouts [[Image:Round.png |100px]]'''
| |
| | |
| ----
| |
| | |
| Roundabouts have few principals:
| |
| | |
| The first one, each node on the roundabout can only be connected to no more than one segment.
| |
| | |
| Each connection has a spectrum that exists in order to notify the Client on how to define the message (Go straight, exit through the 2nd / 3rd / 4th exit).
| |
| | |
| [[Image:RoadPicN8.jpg |400px]]
| |
| | |
| | |
| | |
| [[Image:Round2.png |200px]]
| |
| | |
| Each connection has a spectrum that exists in order to notify the Client on how to define the message (Go straight, exit through the 2nd / 3rd / 4th exit).
| |
| | |
| The system will include the radius border from the center and notify the user accordingly.

| |
| | |
| [[Image:RedR1.png|400px]] [[Image:RedR2.png|400px]]

| | |
| '''Highway - Minor Highway'''
| |
| | |
| [[Image:YellowR.png|400px]]
