=== Special roads ===

*[[Creating and Editing a roundabout|Roundabouts and Traffic Circles]]
*[[Creating and Editing street segments|Cul-de-sac's]]
*[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farm-to-market_road FM Roads] not grouped into functional class are to be set to {{Primary Street}}  east of US-281 and north/east of I-37. All other FM roads are set to {{Minor Highway}}.
*[[Road types/USA#Dirt|Dirt Roads]]. In Texas '''ALL''' roads that are normally unpaved are considered dirt roads as this is how GPS Nav users (any brand) expect the "Avoid Dirt Roads" feature to behave. These roads should be deleted when going through farm land, ranch land, or mountainous areas throughout the state, as they are most likely base import roads and not real roads.
*[[Road types/USA#Parking Lot Road|Parking Lot Roads]]
*[[Best map editing practice#Toll roads|Toll Roads]]
*[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frontage_road Frontage roads] not classified as {{Primary Street}} by functional class are to be classified as {{Street}}. They are also to be labeled "Frontage Rd" unless the corresponding highway has an alternate name. I-635 Frontage roads are labeled as "Lyndon B Johnson Freeway" as that is the local name for I-635.
*Alleys and driveways are '''NOT MAPPED'''
 
=== Non-drivable roads ===
 
Generally, if a road can't be driven on (e.g. Walking Trail, Pedestrian Boardwalk, Stairway, Ranch road in the middle of nowhere) then it should not be mapped in Waze. This is due to the way the routing engine works, as Waze '''WILL''' route users to drive on these "Non-Drivable" road types. Please note there are several Railroads mapped in Texas, these railroads are mapped in a '''''VERY''''' particular manner by Senior Area Managers and Country Managers to prevent Waze from routing on them.


=== Miscellaneous ===
====SH-121 / SH-114 / SH-360 / I-635 Grapevine (DFW Connector)====
Primary DFW Connector construction is complete, but more improvements to the connector are still in progress including the I-635 / SH-121 / SH-26 / FM 2499 interchange upgrades.


All freeways are set to ground level. If two freeways cross each other, look at the actual intersection to discover the layers of the intersection.
[http://www.dfwconnector.com/ DFW Connector Main Page]


U-turns are labeled as "turnaround."

== Functional Classification of Roads ==
==Functional Classification of Roads==


See [[Road names/USA]] and [[Road types/USA]].
See [[Road names/USA]] and [[Road types/USA]].


Texas is participating in the new [[Road_types/USA/Revision|Functional Classification]] in a limited capacity. Cities/areas with a population greater than 250,000 will be turned over to functional class. At this time, rural towns and rural Texas are to be left alone. The counties listed below are approved for FC change over:
The South Central Region participates in functional classification across all states. We promote a hybrid FC to ensure for the best routing possible for all Wazers.  The hybrid FC basically means a state highway would never be typed less than Minor Highway (mH).
<br /><br />
===FC Maps for Texas===
Use the appropriate link below to access the Functional Classification map for the state you are working in. Once you have reviewed the map, then refer to the FC cross reference chart below to determine what road type and lock level should be assigned to the roads in the area. For roads that need to be locked at a higher level than you are able, change the street to the correct type, then request a lock from a higher-level editor.

In late 2012 a discussion was started in the [http://www.waze.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=247 Connecticut Section] of the Waze Forum that determined the existing worldwide guideline of "don't map individual businesses" wasn't enough and we needed a more complete set of guidelines for landmarks in worldwide. As a result of that discussion a set of guidelines was created. If you wish to propose changes to these guidelines, please do so in the forum. As always, the worldwide rule of "don't map individual businesses" still applies.

=== When to use Area or Point in Texas ===
All frontage roads running along freeways and major highways should be set to {{Minor Highway}}


Here is the Texas guidance on selecting Area or Point for Places in the Waze Map Editor. '''All areas are to be landmarked from fence line to fence line''' to include all parking lots, roads, and anything associated with the property. Parking lot roads (PLRs), parking lots, and gas stations all serve the same purpose. There is no need to mark a PLR through a gas station or a parking lot.
For example,


{{Red|The Primary Category for a Place is used to determine whether to use a Point or Area.}}
*An Interstate Business Loop classified as a Minor Arterial is a {{Major Highway}}.
*A US Highway classified as a Minor Arterial is a {{Major Highway}}.
*A US Highway Spur route classified as a Minor Arterial is a {{Minor Highway}}.
*A State Highway classified as an Other Freeway is a {{Freeway}}.
*A State Highway classified as a Collector is a {{Minor Highway}}.
*A County Route classified as a Minor Arterial is a {{Minor Highway}}.
*A County Route classified as a Collector is a {{Primary Street}}
*A locally-maintained road classified as an Other Principal Arterial is a {{Major Highway}}.
*A locally-maintained road classified as a Collector is a {{Primary Street}}.

|+Area Managers (Texas)
See [http://www.txdot.gov/ TxDot] for a list of '''LONG TERM''' road closures & changes to traffic flow that impact the Waze map.
 
If you are aware or made aware of any long term closures (construction, work closures and emergency closures), please fill out [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1oGINt4UEkBV0Par5VCingXzTZpJq9KjG8GbZpGqbRow/viewform this form]. Your submission will be reviewed by US Champs and submitted to the Waze team upon approval.
 
==== I-35 (Austin to DFW) ====
pjlasl is the lead editor for changes for I-35 between Austin and DFW. Please contact him prior to making any major changes (i.e. adding or removing ramps).
 
== Cameras ==
 
Currently, the only way to add cameras to the editor are from the app. When placing a camera in the app, drop a general error with "RLC W" where W = the direction the camera is facing. This will allow other editors to know which way the camera is facing when they go to approve it in the editor.
 
=== Red light cameras ===
 
Red Light Cameras are '''LEGAL''' in the State of Texas.
 
Contrary to popular belief, these cameras do not sit on the top of lights at an intersection. If you've gotten to an intersection, you've already passed the red light camera.These cameras mounted on traffic signals are used as part of the signal control. These compare sequential images of the intersection approach to determine if there is a vehicle (car, truck, motorcycle, bicycle, etc) waiting and will trigger the sequence. These devices '''CANNOT''' issue tickets.
 
There are traditional traffic monitoring cameras covering most of the major highways in the state. These send live feeds to the various traffic agencies around the state and are for monitoring traffic only.
 
*[[Cameras|Know your Cameras]]
 
=== Speed Cameras ===
 
Speed cameras are currently '''ILLEGAL''' in the State of Texas. Any request for a speed camera, or any approved speed cameras need to be removed from the map.
 
== Military Bases ==
 
Texas has a long standing tradition for support the US military. If you have questions concerning any military base in the state, please do not hesitate to ask. All military bases in the state are set to the current [[Private Installations|installation]] standard.
 
*All gates at the military bases are set to private road in/street out with some gates having restrictions on them for the various gate closures.
*If you know of any changes in the hours of a gate, please let a US Champ know and they will adjust it accordingly.
*All gates are locked at a level 5 or 6.
 
Landmarks approved for military bases are:
 
*Commissary
*PX/BX
*Gas stations
*Parks
*Museums
 
== To do list ==
 
Want to help out with the map in Texas? Stop adding parking lot roads everywhere, solve [[Update requests|URs]], ask questions to anyone listed below, and seek out advice when/where needed. Please adhere to the rules for editing. Parking lot roads do not need to go through gas stations. The gas station area suppresses traffic so map problems (MP) do not show up in the editor.

If you are an editor in Texas, or a USA Country Manager that does a lot of work in Texas, please add yourself to this list or ask to be added.
== Discipline ==
Waze has been designed to be an open community with various levels of editors. Rank 5 and 6 editors are senior editors. They are here to help you and are to be respected at all times. Instructions from senior editors are to be followed, unless it conflicts with this page. If you have any questions or issues, please feel free to PM one of the rank 6s or 5s in the list (if you're having a problem with one, please PM the regional coordinators). We will try to handle the issue as quickly and peacefully as possible.
It is not possible to list every occurrence of problems which can occur in the editor, but the following are some examples of what has happened in the past:
<ul style="/* insecure input */">
<li>Deleting and redrawing roads</li>
<li>Creating mass amounts of parking lot roads</li>
<li>Creating roads on top of already existing roads</li>
<li>Disrespect to higher ranking editors</li>
<li>Not cleaning up your own mess</li>
<li>Not responding to private messages</li>
<li>Willful damage to the map</li>
</ul>
Everyone is allowed one free pass, but disciplinary actions after the first occurrence for the above may include:
<ul style="/* insecure input */">
<li>Formal mentoring</li>
<li>Temporary suspension of editing rights</li>
<li>Permanent suspension of editing rights</li>
</ul>
==User Reports (URs)==
Recently, there have been a rash of editors giving long winded responses to URs. The average person is not going to read beyond the 3rd or 4th line. In this example:
"Many drivers think a report shows their destination and route information, it doesn't. It doesn't even tell us who filed the report.
We volunteer map editors only see where you are when you start your report and short pieces of the recommended and driven routes.
We need more information to fix your problem.
Thank you for the report and all the WAZE you help.
If you respond to my query and I do not acknowledge within 1 day, please e-mail me at xxxxxxxxx@waze.com with a repeat of the information.
This report will be closed as 'not identified' if there is no response within 7 days."
<br>
<br>
and this example:
<br>
<br>
"Please provide more details so we can investigate the "General error" you reported. Volunteer map editors only fix map problem. We don't see what you see on your screen. We only see where you were located when you started your report and a short segment of the WAZE recommended route and a short segment of the route taken.
To test the routing, we need to know the approximate start and end points of your route.
Your routing options are important. Do you Avoid toll roads? Avoid major highways? Dirt roads allow/don't allow/avoid long ones?
Have you selected 'fastest route' or 'shortest route'?
Thank you for the report and all the WAZE you help.
If no response within 7 days, this report will be closed as 'Not identified'."
the user will most likely either not get beyond the "We need more information to fix your problem" or they will skim through it and not pay attention to what is being asked of them. Please keep responses to URs at a minimum. Asking someone to explain more information about their issue does not require a novel, it should read like the box score to a game in the newspaper.

 NOTICE (4/15/2017): This page is now part of the the South Central Region harmonized Wazeopedia page. This page is limited to Texas-specific information referenced from the SCR main page. Please reference that page first.



Welcome to the Texas Wazeopedia. Below you will find information related to editing for Waze in Texas that is not covered in the main South Central Region Wazeopedia article, which includes the states of Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Oklahoma, and Texas.

Roads in Texas

Major construction projects in Texas

See TxDot for a list of LONG TERM road closures & changes to traffic flow that impact the Waze map.

If you are aware or made aware of any long term closures (construction, work closures and emergency closures), please fill out this form. Your submission will be reviewed by US Champs and submitted to the Waze team upon approval.

I-35 (Austin to DFW)

SH-121 / SH-114 / SH-360 / I-635 Grapevine (DFW Connector)

Primary DFW Connector construction is complete, but more improvements to the connector are still in progress including the I-635 / SH-121 / SH-26 / FM 2499 interchange upgrades.

DFW Connector Main Page

DFW Connector - Lane Closures

Functional Classification of Roads

See Road names/USA and Road types/USA.

The South Central Region participates in functional classification across all states. We promote a hybrid FC to ensure for the best routing possible for all Wazers. The hybrid FC basically means a state highway would never be typed less than Minor Highway (mH).

FC Maps for Texas

Use the appropriate link below to access the Functional Classification map for the state you are working in. Once you have reviewed the map, then refer to the FC cross reference chart below to determine what road type and lock level should be assigned to the roads in the area. For roads that need to be locked at a higher level than you are able, change the street to the correct type, then request a lock from a higher-level editor.

http://www.txdot.gov/apps/statewide_mapping/StatewidePlanningMap.html

FC Cross Reference

Refer to this chart to determine the road type of a given paved public road based on the functional class.

To use this chart, first determine the functional class of a road, and whether it is a signed, numbered highway in a particular highway system.

Where the column for the road's highway system and the row for the road's functional class meet, you will find the proper road type for that particular road.

A number of examples are given below the chart.

^a When a state highway "SPUR" route is used to connect a state highway with another state highway, a US highway, or an Interstate (i.e., when it is used as a connector/CONN route), use the first state highway column.

^b Also known as Principal Arterial - Interstate.

^c Also known as Principal Arterial - Freeway.

^d Also known as Principal Arterial - Expressway.

^e Also known as Principal Arterial.

^f Also known as Other Arterial.

All frontage roads running along freeways and major highways should be set to  Minor Highway 

For example,

  • An Interstate Business Loop classified as a Minor Arterial is a  Major Highway .
  • A US Highway classified as a Minor Arterial is a  Major Highway .
  • A US Highway Spur route classified as a Minor Arterial is a  Minor Highway .
  • A State Highway classified as an Other Freeway is a  Freeway .
  • A State Highway classified as a Collector is a  Minor Highway .
  • A County Route classified as a Minor Arterial is a  Minor Highway .
  • A County Route classified as a Collector is a  Primary Street 
  • A locally-maintained road classified as an Other Principal Arterial is a  Major Highway .
  • A locally-maintained road classified as a Collector is a  Primary Street .

FC issues on State Maps

If you find any issues where FC changes unexpectedly such as in the image (the small section of green in between 2 red sections), please let the Regional Coordinator (RC) know exactly where this is located, so the appropriate DOT can be notified.
