Functional Classifications

California is following the Functional Classification (FC) system for the USA.

To help update the current California roadways to the new functional classifications, go to the California FC update page.

Lock Levels

We observe the following minimum lock levels for Waze road types:

Freeway (Fwy) - 5

Ramp - 5

Major Highway (MH) - 3

minor Highway (mH) - 2 - In some dense metropolitan areas, the minimum lock for mH is 3

Primary Street (PS) - 2

All others - 1, or as needed


Note that these are minimums and, for protection, certain segments may be at higher lock levels.
