| ==== Introduction ====
| |
| The West Virginia Department of Transportation (WVDOT) provides [http://www.transportation.wv.gov/highways/programplanning/gti/GIS/MAPS/Pages/WVMapGISSelect.aspx County Highway Maps] for each of the 55 Counties in West Virginia (WV). Those County Maps provide information on Route Designation for each road the State of WV maintains. The following are the types of roads typically seen on each of the County Maps and how they should be named and typed in the Waze Map. At this time, WV does not have a GIS Functional Classification (FC) Map.
| |
|
| |
|
| West Virginia follows the [[Road_names/USA|General Road Naming]] and [[Road_types/USA|Road Type Guidelines]] of the USA. WV Specific deviations are shown below.
| | 3) Make sure you are using the "high accuracy GPS" setting. |
|
| |
|
| ''If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask in the WV Google Hangout (WV GHO) or [[West_Virginia#Area_Managers|Private Message]] (PM) one of the State or Area Managers.''
| | 4) Shut Down Waze completely (from background running apps too!) and restart. |
|
| |
|
| ==== Interstate ====
| | 5) RE-boot your phone and restart waze |
|
| |
|
| [[File:WV_Interstate.PNG]]
| | 6) Remove Waze from your phone and re-install. |
|
| |
|
| * Waze Road Type – Freeway (FW)
| | You can also report this to https://support.google.com/waze/answer/6276841 |
| * Name – I-64 N (direction is always one-way and always includes the cardinal direction)
| |
| * Lock Level - L5 or higher
| |
|
| |
| ==== US Route ====
| |
|
| |
|
| [[File:US Route.PNG]]
| | === "Bad Google" === |
|
| |
|
| * Waze Road Type – Typically Major Highway (MH) unless FC upgrades
| | Volunteer responding - Added your address to the waze database. Asked Google Maps to update their pin location (source of error). Should update within a few days. You will need to delete this address from your history/favorites/home/work location and search for it again once it updates otherwise you may be sent to the wrong coordinates. Thanks! |
| * Name – US-60 (if divided/One-Way, include cardinal direction, e.g. US-60 N)
| |
| * ''US BUS/SPUR/LOOP are Minor Highway (mH) unless FC upgrades''
| |
| * Lock Level - L4 or higher
| |
|
| |
| ==== WV State Route ====
| |
|
| |
|
| [[File:WV_Route.PNG]]
| | === "All Is Well", === |
|
| |
|
| * Waze Road Type – Typically Minor Highway (mH)
| | "My test routes show it updated and routes correctly. You will need to remove this address from your history/favorites and re-search. Otherwise you may routed to incorrect coordinates. If you continue to have issues, please submit a new report. Thanks and have a great day! |
| * Name – WV-10 (if divided/One-Way, include cardinal direction, e.g. WV-10 S)
| |
| * ''WV BUS/SPUR/LOOP are Primary Street unless FC upgrades''
| |
| * Lock Level - L3 or higher
| |
|
| |
| ==== WV County Route ====
| |
|
| |
|
| [[File:WV_County Route.PNG]]
| | === "Intermittent/Spontaneous Combustion" === |
|
| |
|
| * Waze Road Type – Street (unless FC upgrades higher)
| | "Since we do not know in advance when these closures will occur, we, unfortunately, cannot add those to the app. We would have to rely on fellow wazers to use the app to enter the closures." |
| * Name – CR-2 or CR-2/12
| |
| * Lock Level - Depends on FC; L1 or higher
| |
|
| |
|
| ==== WV HARP Route ==== | | === "Quit Searching By Address Please" === |
|
| |
|
| [[File:WV_Harp_Route.PNG]]
| | Add the business to the map. Linked the Google POI to the Waze Location. Verified the street address. All should update within a few days. |
|
| |
|
| * Waze Road Type – Street
| | In the future, please search for businesses by name, not address. You will get better results. |
| * Name – '''not typically used'''. Only if no name for that street can be found (please ask in the GHO first). HARP-901 or HARP-901/20.
| |
| * Lock Level - L1
| |
|
| |
| ==== WV FANS Route ====
| |
|
| |
|
| [[File:WV_FANS_Route.PNG]]
| | Thanks for reporting this! |
| | |
| * Waze Road Type – Based on Functional Classification Only
| |
| * Name – '''Alt Name Only''' if FC upgrades road type to Primary Street or higher. Drop the leading digit. FANS-863
| |
| * Alt name is needed so we know that a FC upgrade has been applied to what normally should be "Street" in the Waze Map.
| |
| * Lock Level - Depends on FC; L2 or higher
| |
| | |
| ==== Functional Classification ====
| |
| | |
| WV, at this time, does not have a GIS map that will make decision making as to the proper road type (Street/Primary Street/Minor Highway/Major Highway/Freeway) easy or quick. They do have a list of Federal Aid Roads which includes the roads with a functional classification of minor collector or higher. The issue we have found so far, is that it lists that classification by mile markers. We have no sure way of knowing where that classification starts and ends with any great deal of certainty. It can be done with some experience and common sense. Please work with the State Managers to learn more. You can review the [ftp://gis.transportation.wv.gov/HPMS_Reports/WV_FA_Roads_2015.pdf complete list] here. And StephenR1966 has put together a [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1FUNOb5UqYToEZv-mSK5SVxfyUTZqVqJaJyL_otQlyVw/edit#gid=1099177487 Google Sheet] that translates the list into which roads the classification applies to. This is why it's important to have the correct road designation in either the primary or alternate name in order to find a particular road and apply the correct functional classification to it. ''Note that some roads are listed as more than once; this means that they can be for example mH for part and MH for part and PS for part. Please ask in the GHO for more help if you find examples of this.''

| | |
| ==== NOTES ====
| |
| | |
| * Lock Levels on verified one-way Private Roads(PR), Streets, and Primary Streets (PS) are one level higher. See [[West_Virginia#MAR_Minimum_Road_Lock_Standard|WV Minimum Lock Levels]]
| |
| * Within City Limits, most roads should have a name; use that instead of the Route Designation and put the Route Designation as the Alt Name. Consult County GIS sources or Street View.
| |
| * Most US and WV State Routes do not have a name unless inside city borders (e.g. Main St) or part of a major highway project (e.g. King Coal Highway). Even then, check street view to confirm the name is on the signs.
| |
| * All WV County Roads do have a name; you can find it using Street View or County GIS sources. If you cannot find it, then use the Road Designation as the Primary.
| |
| * All FANS Roads are within City Limits. Only put a FANS Designation (and always as Alt Name) if FC upgrades that segment to PS or higher. That lets everyone know the reason for the FC upgrade.
| |
| * If the Primary Name includes a "city", then any alternate names must include the same city and vice-versa.
| |
| * Do not deviate from the road type unless the correct Functional Classification has been applied. Doing so can and will create issues with routing.
