State Highway Naming

Washington Highway

State highways are to be named SR-###

Washington State highways should be current to our wiki standard, if you see one that doesn't seem right contact one of the SM's.

County Road Naming

Wyoming County

County roads with the name designation of "County Road ##" or "Co Rd ##" are to be named in Waze as CR-##. This shortened version takes up less space on the map screen and is announced correctly as "County Road ##" while navigating with the Waze app.

Locking Standard

Washington observes the following locking standards on the following types of road segments. All roads must be locked at least to the minimum level stated. Roads may be locked higher for protection and special situations (construction, confusing design, frequent mistakes, image inaccuracies, etc.), If needing a segment unlocked or locked to a </> level please use the Unlock and Update Request forum.

-All of the state's roads are typed and set according to [http://www.wsdot.wa.gov/data/tools/geoportal/?config=functionalclass&layers=Functional+Class WSDOT functional classification]. Of course, there are always exceptions, so the Functional Class map isn't biblical truth, but if we map the roads according to WSDOT's FC map the [[Routing server|routing]] choices will be a lot better!
-If you want to know more about the Federal Functional Classification check the [[National_resources/USA/Functional_classification|Functional Classification]] article.
