Kentucky Hospitals

Kentucky editors consider Hospitals to be a very important Places to have set correctly on the map. Having a map full of Places with the Hospital category, or not having real hospitals available in searches makes it difficult for users to get help when they need it. Anything that does not have emergency services (ER or Immediate Care) should not have the Hospital/Medical category set. If you are setting up an Immediate Care center with the category, you must have the proper hours added.

To better recognize which places might have an incorrect listing of Hospital, install the WME Place Harmonizer script.

To get true hospitals added to the map, we are using a list from the Commonwealth of Kentucky. Some of these hospitals do not have emergency services and need to be set for a different category. They are listed and completion should be tracked on this spreadsheet. If you do not have access to edit the sheet. Please contact one of the State Managers listed below.

Speed Limits

Now that the Speed Limit fields are in Waze Map Editor, we should use every opportunity to fill this information in before the algorithm is used to estimate what the speed limits could be, as we will have to go back and verify them anyway. Waze has features ready to go in the client app that will not be added until we have enough speed limit data entered for every level road. For more information on entering speed limits you can visit the Speed Limits wiki.

Note: Speed limits may be lowered in construction/work zones and, if those limits appear on regulatory black and white signs, should be changed in WME. Generally, only speed limits for long-term projects should be changed on the map. These changes should be tracked with this spreadsheet.

County Map

The Kentucky Highway renaming project is finished. To be considered complete, the KY road, US highway, or Interstate must have current naming, Functional Classification, speed limit, and any road that is touching it should be corrected to provide the best routing experience.

Recommended Browser Scripts

In addition to the recommended scripts that make editing on Waze easier, i.e. Validator and Toolbox, there are some scripts that are specific to Kentucky that really assist editors while working within the state. You will need a script manager installed such as TamperMonkey.

Kentucky Validator Localization

This script requires Validator to be installed first. It provides extra rules that are specific to Kentucky's guidelines to highlight on the map. Link to script

KYTC Addon

Easy lookup of road information provided by Kentucky Transportation Cabinet's map with Alt+K while hovering over the road and a link in the footer of the page to open KYTC's functional classification map in the same location you have Waze Map Editor. Link to script

Kentucky County Overlay

Creates rough polygon layer for Counties in Kentucky and displays the name in the top left corner where city/state name shows. This is not meant to be used for any official lines, but as a tool to help you know where you are when a city name is not present in WME. Link to script

KYTC/DOT Reports

Diplays traffic events posted by state Transportation Cabinet and DOT. Currently supports Kentucky, Indiana, Nebraska, and Iowa. States can be enabled under the DOT tab. Link to script

-=== State Highway Renaming ===
+=== Kentucky Hospitals ===
-Kentucky is now using the format KY-xxx for State Highways. The current name or alt name of "State Hwy xxx" or "Ky-xxx" will be changed according to KY-xxx where xxx is replaced with the number assigned to the State highway.  This will not replace local names of roads, such as "Main St" when the highway segment has a name, but the alt will be changed in that case. If you are taking the time to change a segment to the new naming convention, please review it for any issues attached and make corrections as needed.

 ===County Map===
-Below is a map of the counties the KY editors have completed the '''State Highways'''. All counties in KY have US Highways and Freeways complete. To be considered complete, the road must have current naming, Functional Classification, speed limit, and any road that is touching it should be corrected to provide the best routing experience.
