==Locking Standard==


Canada has active "Traffic Locks", these locks are based on usage from users. They are limited to a max rank of 4, but can be any rank below.


Here are some translations of general UR comments
Segments that have restricted turns must be locked to a minimum Level 3.


<span style="color: red"><b>If the current lock or traffic lock is higher than the minimum standards listed below, please don't lower the lock.</b></span>

===Place Editing===


Je suis un éditeur bénévole et Waze ne nous a pas transmis assez d'informations pour nous permettre de corriger la situation. Quel était le problème avec l'itinéraire que Waze vous a donné? Pouvez-vous nous donner votre destination telle que vous l'avez entrée dans Waze? Merci!
PUR should be reviewed for accuracy, once approved all relevant information pertaining to the place should be entered. Please use each company's website to gather all the information you can. Once a place is complete please lock to rank 3.


===Incorrect Turn===
This practice will prevent app trusted users and most IGN editors from making incorrect changes to places we know are right. App trusted users and IGN editors are rarely rank 3.


Volunteer responding, Would you please let us know what turn you are having a problem with? Would you tell us your destination as you entered it into Waze? Thanks!

==Place Naming==


===Turn not Allowed===
Place Naming in Canada should adhere to the following guidelines. Following the government agency naming guide is a list of businesses which are chains or franchises. Please use these name spellings when creating or updating a place.


Volunteer responding, Would you please let us know what turn was not, or should not be, allowed and the street names at the intersection? Thanks!
===Hospitals===


Je suis un éditeur bénévole, pouvez-vous préciser quel virage était, ou devrait, être interdit, ainsi que les noms des rues à l'intersection concernée? Merci!
Hospitals with Emergency Rooms must have a separate Waze Place with "ER/Urgence" prefixed in the primary name, for example:


===Incorrect Address===
:ER - Brampton Civic Hospital
:ER - St. Michael's Hospital
:Urgence - Hôpital de Verdun


Volunteer responding, Waze did not send us enough information to fix your request. Would you tell us your destination as you entered it into Waze? What is the problem you are having with this address? Thanks!
===Government Agencies===


Je suis un éditeur bénévole, Waze ne nous a pas transmis assez d'informations pour nous permettre de corriger la situation. Pouvez-vous nous donner votre destination telle que vous l'avez entrée dans Waze? De plus, quel était le problème rencontré avec cette adresse? Merci!
'''Police Stations''': City, Agency followed by division name, for example:


===Wrong Driving Direction===
:Toronto Police 12 Division
:Peel Police 22 Division
:O.P.P. Collingwood Detachment


Volunteer responding, Waze did not send us enough information to fix your request. Would you please let us know what went wrong with the route Waze gave you? Would you tell us your destination as you entered it into Waze? Thanks!
'''Fire Stations''': City, Agency followed by station number, for example:

===Bad GPS===
===Place Name Harmonization===
Volunteer responding, It appears that your device was having GPS trouble. GPS signals do not travel through vehicles or tall buildings. Please make sure your device is somewhere with a clear view of the sky.


Je suis un éditeur bénévole, il semble qu'il y ait eu un problème au niveau du GPS de votre appareil. Par exemple, les signaux GPS ne se transmettent pas bien à l'intérieur des bâtiments, et parfois même à l'intérieur d'un véhicule. Assurez-vous que votre appareil soit placé de façon à avoir une vue sur le ciel, sans obstructions.
If you don't find the business you're looking for, please  [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/13JwXsrWPNmCdfGR5OVr5jnGZw-uNGohwgjim-JYbSws/viewform use this form] to submit the missing information.

Volunteer responding, We reviewed the issue and did not find any map errors. It looks like Waze provided you with a valid route. Try the Waze suggested route a few times, it may turn out to actually be faster, if not you'll be teaching Waze that that route is slower, and the faster route will become preferred.
== When to use Area or Point in Canada ==


Je suis un éditeur bénévole et nous avons passé en revue votre signalement et n'avons trouvé aucun problème. Waze semble vous avoir donné un itinéraire adéquat. Nous vous conseillons de vous fier à l'itinéraire suggéré par Waze: il s'avère souvent plus rapide. Si non, alors Waze apprendra que ce n'est pas le cas, et l'itinéraire qui est réellement plus rapide sera suggéré.
Here is the Canadian guidance on selecting Area or Point for Places in the Waze Map Editor.


===Detours/Odd Routing===
'''Optional Area''' shall only be used after consulting local area managers on regional guidelines. The place must be a significant landmark with navigational value in the community. For example: a Canadian Tire in Hepburn, SK (population 500) is of significance. However, the same sized Canadian Tire is of zero significance in the Greater Toronto Area.
Volunteer responding, We can't find anything on the map to explain the route Waze gave you. Waze will route complex detours to save a few seconds. We are very sorry to say that map editors can not be helpful in this situation. Thanks!


Je suis un éditeur bénévole et nous n'avons rien trouvé sur la carte qui permettrait d'expliquer l'itinéraire que Waze vous a donné. Parfois, Waze calcule des itinéraires avec de nombreux détours pour sauver quelques secondes. Nous sommes désolés car les éditeurs de carte ne peuvent rien faire dans une telle situation. Merci!
We do not want to impose hard & fast rules for the '''Optional Area''' category. Please use some judgement, we do not want to see wall-to-wall areas for every single building structure on the map.


===Stale Information===
'''Optional Area''' shall be landmarked to just the building structure only, do not include the parking lot area.


Waze relies on data from people using Waze to assess traffic. The volunteer map editors cannot edit conditions reported through the Waze app. In the case of a recent accident or slowdown, Waze may not have any data for this situation. Once Waze has detected a traffic situation it might remember it for a period of time after the situation cleared up.
'''Fence-line Areas''' shall 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.  


Je suis un éditeur bénévole. Waze se fie sur les données envoyées par d'autres utilisateurs de Waze pour estimer les bouchons de circulation. Les éditeurs bénévoles ne peuvent pas modifier des événements signalés à même l'application. Dans le cas d'un accident récent ou d'un ralentissement, Waze peut ne pas avoir encore d'informations à ce sujet. De plus, lorsque Waze a détecté un ralentissement, ce dernier peut persister dans l'application pendant un certain temps après que la situation ait été réglée.

For closures that last only a few days, the volunteer map editors cannot be much help. It takes at least that long for our edits to make it to the live map! When you encounter short-term road closures in the future, please use the Report > Closure feature built into the Waze app. If this is a long-term closure please respond and let us know as much as you can. Thanks!
Clinics, and Medical offices which ''do not'' offer urgent medical care for Walk-Ins should use the Office, (and any other appropriate) category instead.

Je suis un éditeur bénévole et nous ne pouvons pas intervenir lorsqu'il s'agit d'une fermeture temporaire d'à peine quelques jours, car nos modifications n'apparaissent pas avant plusieurs jours sur la carte. Lorsque vous voulez signaler une fermeture de courte durée, utilisez l'option Signaler > Fermeture dans l'application Waze. S'il s'agit d'une fermeture prolongée, veuillez nous répondre en donnant le plus de détails possibles. Merci!
== Emergency Vehicle Roads [[File:Service road.png|200px|Service road.png]] ==


===Thanks for the reply===
[[File:Emergency.jpg|right|300px|Emergency.jpg]] "Emergency and Authorized Vehicles Only" are to be treated as Non-drivable roads. These are found primarily through the median of divided highways to connect opposite direction lanes.


Thank you for the reply! This request will be closed. As you travel, please feel welcome to report any map issues you encounter.
*Do not map them at all in Canada.


===No further Communication Received===
==Ferries==


No further information was received and the request is being closed. As you travel, please feel welcome to report any map issues you encounter. Thanks!
Please do not use the [[Ferries|ferry road type]], it's not yet functional in Waze. Canada will adopt [[Road types#Ferry|U.S. guidelines]] with respect to ferries.
 
* Use the FC/RC classification of the road leading to the ferry crossing.
* If the ferry has a toll, mark it as a [[Best_map_editing_practice#Toll_roads|toll road]].

Canada has active "Traffic Locks", these locks are based on usage from users. They are limited to a max rank of 4, but can be any rank below.

Segments that have restricted turns must be locked to a minimum Level 3.

If the current lock or traffic lock is higher than the minimum standards listed below, please don't lower the lock.

Minimum Road Locking Rank Standard

Place Editing

PUR should be reviewed for accuracy, once approved all relevant information pertaining to the place should be entered. Please use each company's website to gather all the information you can. Once a place is complete please lock to rank 3.

This practice will prevent app trusted users and most IGN editors from making incorrect changes to places we know are right. App trusted users and IGN editors are rarely rank 3.

Following are general standards for place locking in Canada:

Place Minimum Locking Rank Standard
Place Type Minimum locks
Airports 4
Hospitals 4
Major Tourist Attractions/Landmarks 4
Police/Fire Stations 3
Gas Stations 3


Place Naming

Place Naming in Canada should adhere to the following guidelines. Following the government agency naming guide is a list of businesses which are chains or franchises. Please use these name spellings when creating or updating a place.

Hospitals

Hospitals with Emergency Rooms must have a separate Waze Place with "ER/Urgence" prefixed in the primary name, for example:

ER - Brampton Civic Hospital
ER - St. Michael's Hospital
Urgence - Hôpital de Verdun

Government Agencies

Police Stations: City, Agency followed by division name, for example:

Toronto Police 12 Division
Peel Police 22 Division
O.P.P. Collingwood Detachment

Fire Stations: City, Agency followed by station number, for example:

Brampton Fire Station 221
Toronto Fire Station 347

Place Name Harmonization

If you don't find the business you're looking for, please use this form to submit the missing information.

When to use Area or Point in Canada

Here is the Canadian guidance on selecting Area or Point for Places in the Waze Map Editor.

Optional Area shall only be used after consulting local area managers on regional guidelines. The place must be a significant landmark with navigational value in the community. For example: a Canadian Tire in Hepburn, SK (population 500) is of significance. However, the same sized Canadian Tire is of zero significance in the Greater Toronto Area.

We do not want to impose hard & fast rules for the Optional Area category. Please use some judgement, we do not want to see wall-to-wall areas for every single building structure on the map.

Optional Area shall be landmarked to just the building structure only, do not include the parking lot area.

Fence-line Areas shall 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.

The Primary Category for a Place is used to determine whether to use a Point or Area.

"Emergency and Authorized Vehicles Only" are to be treated as Non-drivable roads. These are found primarily through the median of divided highways to connect opposite direction lanes.

  • Do not map them at all in Canada.

Ferries

Please do not use the ferry road type, it's not yet functional in Waze. Canada will adopt U.S. guidelines with respect to ferries.

  • Use the FC/RC classification of the road leading to the ferry crossing.
  • If the ferry has a toll, mark it as a toll road.
