=== WV Route Naming ===
=== State & County Route Naming ===
State highways that are primarily signed at entering intersections with a State Route number like [[image:75px-WV-2.svg.png|30px]] rather than a road name should be named WV-### ("WV-2").  County roads that are primarily signed at entering intersections with County Road numbers like [[image:WVCountyMain.png|30px]] or [[image:WestVirginiaCountySub.png|30px]] rather than a road name should be named CR-## or CR-##/## ("CR-65" or "CR-91/1").


==== Introduction ====
=== WV Naming and Road Type ===
The West Virginia Department of Transportation (WVDOT) provides [http://www.transportation.wv.gov/highways/programplanning/gti/GIS/MAPS/Pages/WVMapGISSelect.aspx County Highway Maps] for each of the 55 Counties in West Virginia (WV). Those County Maps provide information on Route Designation for each road the State of WV maintains. The following are the types of roads typically seen on each of the County Maps and how they should be named and typed in the Waze Map. At this time, WV does not have a GIS Functional Classification (FC) Map.
Click here [[{{BasePage2}}/Major_roads]] for WV Specific Naming and Type


West Virginia follows the [[Road_names/USA|General Road Naming]] and [[Road_types/USA|Road Type Guidelines]] of the USA. WV Specific deviations are shown below.
=== Speed Limits ===
West Virginia follows the [[Speed_limits/USA|USA Guidelines]] for Speed Limits. The ONLY speed limits that should be added to the map are Regulatory Speed Limits. Consult the Speed Limits (USA) Wiki for details on how to set speed limits on ramps, At-Grade Connectors, Roundabouts, Private/Parking Lot Roads, and Construction Zones. Note for WV, speed limits change at the sign; consult the Wiki for guidance on when to create a new junction for the Speed Limit change.  


''If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask in the WV Google Hangout (WV GHO) or [[West_Virginia#Area_Managers|Private Message]] (PM) one of the State or Area Managers.''

On the WVDOT County Maps, each road type (Street, Unpaved, Off-Road) is shown on the map; use the following Road Types for each ''Roads and Roadway Features Surface Type'' shown on the map. Lock any segments with the Gravel Checkbox enabled or Off-road / Not maintained to L2.

* Waze Road Type – Typically Minor Highway (mH)
* Name – WV-10 (if divided/One-Way, include cardinal direction, e.g. WV-10 S)
* ''WV BUS/SPUR/LOOP are Primary Street unless FC upgrades''
* Lock Level - L3 or higher
==== WV County Route ====
 
[[File:WV_County Route.PNG]]
 
* Waze Road Type – Street (unless FC upgrades higher)
* Name – CR-2 or CR-2/12
* Lock Level - Depends on FC; L1 or higher
 
==== WV HARP Route ====
 
[[File:WV_Harp_Route.PNG]]
 
''Home Access Road Program''
 
* Waze Road Type – Street
* Name – '''not typically used'''. Only if no name for that street can be found (please ask in the GHO first). HARP-901 or HARP-901/20.
* Lock Level - L1
==== WV FANS Route ====
 
[[File:WV_FANS_Route.PNG]]
 
''Federal Aide Non-State''
 
* Waze Road Type – Based on Functional Classification Only
* Name – '''Alt Name Only''' if FC upgrades road type to Primary Street or higher. Drop the leading digit. FANS-863
* Alt name is needed so we know that a FC upgrade has been applied to what normally should be "Street" in the Waze Map.
* Lock Level - Depends on FC; L2 or higher
 
==== WV State Park and Forest Route ====
 
[[File:Wv_park_forest_roads.jpg]]
 
 
* Waze Road Type - Can be of any type. Consult the WVDOT County Maps for Road Type. See [[West_Virginia/Major_roads#WVDOT_Road_Types|WV Road Types]] above.
* Name - Use Local Name if it has one. Add WV DOT Route Designation as alternate. Or if no local name, Route Designation as Primary. FS-800
* Lock Level - Depends on FC/Road Type; L1 or higher
 
==== US Forest Service Roads ====
 
[[File:US_forest_service_roads.jpg]]
 
West Virginia has one (1) National Forest within its boundaries, the [https://www.fs.usda.gov/mnf Monongahela National Forest]. The specific guidelines for National Forest Roads can be found [[Forest_Service_Roads|here]]. Please ensure you understand the Wiki prior to mapping/changing any US Forest Service Roads. Use the [https://www.fs.fed.us/ivm/index.html Interactive Map] to find the Road Names/Road Designation/Road Type. Roads can be both WVDOT and USFS in some cases. Use Local and/or WVDOT Road Names/Designation as Primary, if applicable, instead of US Forest Service road names/designation. Add the US Forest Service Roads as alternate names/designation in most cases. Do not map any roads that are ''not maintained for passenger cars'' or that ''motorized traffic is prohibited'' at this time. Also, '''do not map any trails'''.
 
* Waze Road Type - Can be of any type. Consult the Interactive Map for for designation.  
* Name - Local Name if known. Add any WVDOT designation and USFS Designations as alternate names. FS-XXX
* Lock Level - Based on Road Type. L1 or higher
 
 
==== Functional Classification ====
 
WV, at this time, does not have a GIS map that will make decision making as to the proper road type (Street/Primary Street/Minor Highway/Major Highway/Freeway) easy or quick. They do have a list of Federal Aid Roads which includes the roads with a functional classification of minor collector or higher. The issue we have found so far, is that it lists that classification by mile markers. We have no sure way of knowing where that classification starts and ends with any great deal of certainty. It can be done with some experience and common sense. Please work with the State Managers to learn more. You can review the [ftp://gis.transportation.wv.gov/HPMS_Reports/WV_FA_Roads_2015.pdf complete list] here. And StephenR1966 has put together a [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1FUNOb5UqYToEZv-mSK5SVxfyUTZqVqJaJyL_otQlyVw/edit#gid=1099177487 Google Sheet] that translates the list into which roads the classification applies to. This is why it's important to have the correct road designation in either the primary or alternate name in order to find a particular road and apply the correct functional classification to it. ''Note that some roads are listed as more than once; this means that they can be for example mH for part and MH for part and PS for part. Please ask in the GHO for more help if you find examples of this.''
 
==== NOTES ====
 
* Lock Levels on verified one-way Private Roads(PR), Streets, and Primary Streets (PS) are one level higher. See [[West_Virginia#MAR_Minimum_Road_Lock_Standard|WV Minimum Lock Levels]]
* Within City Limits, most roads should have a name; use that instead of the Route Designation and put the Route Designation as the Alt Name. Consult County [[West_Virginia/Cities_and_towns|GIS sources]] or Street View.
* All WV County Roads do have a name; you can find it using Street View or County GIS sources. If you cannot find it, then use the Road Designation as the Primary.
* All FANS Roads are within City Limits. Only put a FANS Designation (and always as Alt Name) if FC upgrades that segment to PS or higher. That lets everyone know the reason for the FC upgrade.
* If the Primary Name includes a "city", then any alternate names must also include the same city and vice-versa.
* Do not deviate from the road type unless the correct Functional Classification has been applied. Doing so can and will create issues with routing.

State & County Route Naming

State highways that are primarily signed at entering intersections with a State Route number like rather than a road name should be named WV-### ("WV-2"). County roads that are primarily signed at entering intersections with County Road numbers like or rather than a road name should be named CR-## or CR-##/## ("CR-65" or "CR-91/1").

Speed Limits

West Virginia follows the USA Guidelines for Speed Limits. The ONLY speed limits that should be added to the map are Regulatory Speed Limits. Consult the Speed Limits (USA) Wiki for details on how to set speed limits on ramps, At-Grade Connectors, Roundabouts, Private/Parking Lot Roads, and Construction Zones. Note for WV, speed limits change at the sign; consult the Wiki for guidance on when to create a new junction for the Speed Limit change.
