California/Map Raid LA

MapRaid! LA will officially commence on 12/21/2014. The raid will last for roughly 2 weeks.

---

We will start by focusing on the INSERT PL AND IMAGE OF CENTRAL LOCATION. The group will be divided into TEAM SIZE, one for each section. Each team will have their own assigned senior editor (rank 6, or 5) who will be able to edit anywhere in the city of LA, but will focus on their assigned section. IMAGE OF THE SECTIONS OF LA Communication during the map raid will be focused on Google Hangouts. If you do not have a Gmail account, you could create one using your Waze Editor name.

Mission

Our primary mission will be to handle the URs, and PURs, followed by checking turn angles at intersections, and turn restrictions.

Functional Classification (FC) has been implemented for the LA area. Some of the FC changes deviate from the state DOTs recommendations. If you feel that a change is required, please contact a local champ or State Manager (SM).

MapRaid Promotions

Some editors really let their bright side out, and let their community skills shine. This is even more evident in a concerted group effort with high-density editing like a MapRaid!. Editors of all ranks working closely with each other and the Champs, really lets us everyone get to know each other, and allows certain editors to be recognized for their skills and effort.

When the Champs see someone consistently editing well, interacting well with the community, and knowledgeable of the various details from the Wiki, they can issue promotions. This can be anything from the size of a managed area, to a rank increase, or even a new role.

Watch here for results of promotions during and after the raid.
