New Jersey State page redesign
<< plan to remove Notices from page as they are at least 2 years old >>
Introduction
Thank you for your interest in editing the Waze maps for the State of New Jersey. Please note New Jersey State follows the US national guidance with a few exceptions. Be sure to click on and read every link from this page for in-depth tips, guidance and advice.
All editors should have a real username, not a usa_username and are required to have their private messaging turned on.
Refer to the Glossary for common Waze related terms.
Tip: Editors are strongly encouraged to download & install the Waze Validator Plugin. This tool will identify map errors and offers guidance on how to fix them. Use this to identify issues in areas you are working on but make sure not to be distracted by errors that do not pertain to you.

Mapping Resources
Functional Classification
Please review the USA Functional Classification page for details on this topic. In rare cases, a particular road may require a different type than prescribed in the national guidance. Before changing the type of any road past the bounds of the rules, please post the situation to the New Jersey Forum to receive feedback. Dhschneider resources can be found in the following links:
Statewide Mapping Resources
- NJDOT Highway Functional Classification Maps (2013)
- Use this Spreadsheet to track completion.
Use these state-wide maps for the names and numbers of Interstate, US, and State highways. They also include the names of many local roads and addresses.
- New Jersey GIS Online map (detailed but slow)
- New Jersey GIS PDF map (less detailed)
- NJ Tax Maps - Helps with addresses and also functions as a GIS system.

Community
The NJ editing community is currently participating in a Discord pilot. Click here to join for questions, unlock requests, or other discussions with local editors. (The old GHO is in the process of being retired; we strongly encourage you to join our Discord community instead during this time.)
Community Roles
In the Self-managed USA the hierarchy of community roles is as follows:
Global Champ → Local Champ → Regional Coordinator → Expert → Country Manager → State Manager → Area Manager
- If you are presently one of the above and an editor in this State, please add yourself to the table listed below .
- If you are an editor looking to become an AM, please add yourself in this table. Keep in mind, the best way to obtain AM status, is by becoming involved in the Waze community.
Mentoring
The greatest resource for editors of any rank is to learn hands on from editors with more experience than themselves. The Mentoring programs are strongly recommended, whether formal or informal.
If you have any questions or difficulties with any aspect of editing, feel free to contact any of Dhschneider's Waze Champs, Country Managers, State Manager(s), or senior editors list in the table below. You can also contact the Regional Coordinator(s) Error in Parameter to RC/Data or RC/Forum (in Parameter to RC/Data or RC/Forum PM [Help])
