When in WME and you click on a segment and hover over a Green or Yellow Turn Connection/Restriction Arrow, both the Time Based Turn Restriction (TBTR) clock AND the Turn instruction Override speaker icon will appear. If the turn is Red (restricted), then the override icon will not appear.
{{RootPage2}} has a Google Hangout (GHO) for the state, which is used to chat with local editors and area/state/regional management. If you're a new/existing editor in {{RootPage2}} or even if you're just visiting and want to relay information to local editors you can do so by clicking the link below to jump into the group.

==Available Instruction Overrides==
There is also a Northwest Region GHO, which has a similar mission but serves Alaska, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Washington, and Wyoming so there are many more editors in there who can assist. Most of the northwest's State Managers have area management over {{RootPage2}}, so you can more quickly get help by joining these channels.
When you click on the '''Speaker''', you have the following choices:
[[File:Wme_turn_override_list.png]]
{{clear}}
*Waze Selected (default) (this gives the default voice prompt turn, exit, keep right/left, which is defined by street names, angles, road types, etc)
*None (No verbal instruction is given)
*Turn Left (The instruction "Turn Left" is given)
*Turn Right (The instruction "Turn Right" is given)
*Keep Left (The instruction "Keep Left" is given)
*Keep Right (The instruction "Keep Right" is given)
*Continue ({{Red|NOT CURRENTLY AVAILABLE}})
*Exit Left (The instruction "Exit Left" is given)
*Exit Right (The instruction "Exit Right" is given)
*Uturn (The instruction "Uturn" is given)


When something other than "Waze Selected" is the selected option, the Instruction Override speaker icon changes from [[Image:Wme_override_speaker_icon.png]] (Cyan) to [[Image:Wme_override_speaker_icon_active.png]] (Orange). This icon is shown when you hover over a turn arrow.

==When to Use Instruction Overrides==
<!---- DO NOT MODIFY BELOW ------ DO NOT MODIFY BELOW ------ DO NOT MODIFY BELOW ----
===Exit Left===
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[[File:Exit_left_bgs_example1.png|left]]When there is a the Big Green Sign (BGS) indicating an exit left. Discuss with your Regional Coordinator(s) and/or State Manager(s) to see if they want it added to locations where a HOV or HOT/Express Lane is separated from the regular freeway, highway, etc.
---- This page is only transcluded into (displayed on) the main page for this state.
[[File:Wme turn override set hover.png|left]]
---- It directly follows the common guidelines applicable to all states. When this
{{clear}}
---- page is present (even if blanked), it displaces any optional code that might be
===U-turn===
---- in that section.
This works well for one way segments that have a u-turn only lane. You can post a "u-turn" verbal prompt on the first left turn and "None" on the second one.
---- If the original optional code from the main page for this section is still
 
---- desired, it can be restored by adding the following code to the first line
===Streets not meeting at right angles===
---- between the "DO NOT MODIFY" lines on this page:
[[File:Wme slight right overriden.png|left]]When streets meet at some kind of diagonal, the default turn instruction may end up being a "stay to the left/right" even though the driver would consider it a left or right turn. Allow the segments to meet at their actual angles and create an instruction override so that the instruction the driver is expecting will be given.
----  {{:USA/CommonState/Community|optional}}
{{clear}}
----
ALSO CONSIDER: The departure angle in Waze Map Editor is also shown in the app closure interface. Angles which are too close, under 20&deg; can overlap in the app, and so should be avoided.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
---- If there will be a full page for this section, use code similar to the wording
===Simple Wayfinder===
---- below to provide a hyperlink to that page. When creating the full page, use the
[[File:Wme_instruction_override_left_and_right.png|right]] Simple wayfinders use a turn instruction override where an instruction would not normally be voiced. This is most often a "stay right" or "stay left." A basic example is a roadway with a split where left lanes turn left and right lanes go straight ahead. To ensure the driver is kept on the correct side of the roadway to stay on the expected route, we create an instruction override to ensure the driver is given enough advance noticed to make sure they are on the correct side
---- link on the talk page to ensure the preload data is provided to help with
 
---- formatting the page. Don't just use the red link from this section once it is
The image here is a composite showing both turns with the override set and which instruction has been applied in this specific case. Drivers continuing straight, the app will give the driver the instruction "stay to the right to El Cajon Blvd." For drivers getting into the on-ramp, the app will say, "turn to the left to I-8 W."
---- saved.
 
----
===Continue onto Onramp===
See [[{{BasePage2}}/Community]] for guidance in {{RootPage2}} that may not be universal to all other states.
{{Red|NOT CURRENTLY AVAILABLE}}
----
 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To reduce confusion, it is advised to use the "Continue" instruction in situations like a street heading directly onto a highway or freeway onramp, such as shown here.
---- This section has three possible purposes:
 
---- 1. It is only providing a hyperlink to the full page for this section.
[[File:Wme_straight_ahead_onramp.png]]
---- 2. It is only providing some unique guidance for this state that differs from
 
---- other states.
{{clear}}
---- 3. It is intentionally wiping out the general optional content for this section
===At-Grade Connector===
---- for this state.
Depending on the length of an at-grade connector, it may make sense for it to either instruct "keep right/left" or "turn right/left." Use a Turn Instruction Override to ensure the app voices the most appropriate instruction to the driver. An example of an at-grade connector using an instruction override is shown below:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------>

==When Not to Use Instruction Overrides==
 
===Complex Wayfinder===
A complex wayfinder is one where the legs (child segments) are named differently than the subsequent segments. The wayfinder segments are named for the Big Green Sign (BGS) verbiage for clarity.  
 
For these kinds of wayfinders, a turn instruction override does not have the required functionality and should not be used.
 
 
==Identifying Instruction Overrides on the map==
#The default way to determine that a turn has an Override Instruction set is to hover over the turn arrow.
#[[Plugins#WME_Toolbox|Toolbox]] helps to make identifying turns with override instructions set.
