Alternate: Any of the above to help with searches

Duplicate Cities

Greater XXX Area

File a City form, using the Merge option, to Merge it with city XXX

• This avoids duplicate identical cities on dropdowns in WME
• Duplicate nearby City IDs can make "Select Entire Street" not work and cause multi-select to show "No common street, No common city"

XXX (2)

If far away, File a City form, using the Rename option, to Rename it to XXX

• This keeps a separate city ID for the far away city, allowing separate polygons to be drawn

If nearby, File a City form, using the Merge option, to Merge it to XXX

• Similar to Greater XXX Area

No City, duplicate is far away

• Submit city form (Which action?), Waze Staff adds one segment, Editor adds city to segments manually in WME

No City, duplicate is nearby

• No form, Editor adds city to segments manually in WME

No City, city name doesn't exist

• L4 creates City, Editor adds city to segments manually in WME

General

Street vs PLR

• How is this defined?
• Does Street mean it's a government-maintained road?
• What about the main road in a Mall, Office Park, or Apartment Complex?

PLRs not named

• Prevents repetitive turn instructions
• Known side effect: inheritance of main road name
• What if it "feels like" a Street and has signs? Does this make it a Street? (See previous question)

Search sources

Address search order I've heard - is there more to this?

• RPP
• Nudged Waze HN
• Google HN
• Unnudged Waze HN
• Waze Interpolated HN

Place sources (Ordering?):

• Waze Places
• Google
• Foursquare
• Yelp
• YP

Fixing Ad pins

• Support Case?
• PUR?
• What about pins that don't show in WME?

GS linkage

• If duplicate gas stations, keep the oldest that was created by admin or avsus
• Any other usernames?

Elevation

• https://wiki.waze.com/wiki/Creating_and_editing_road_segments#Road_elevation is very basic
• https://wiki.waze.com/wiki/Overpasses,_Underpasses_and_Bridges just covers the mechanics of it in WME
• https://wiki.waze.com/wiki/Elevation_-_bringing_the_Seagull_to_Australia is more like what we're looking for - but I'm told it's out-of-date.
• https://wiki.waze.com/wiki/Pennsylvania/Speed_limit_mapraid#Elevation_Guidelines - Is this what we want?
• Do we elevate freeways over bridges over water?
