Introduction
- Definition
A Private Installation or Community is a small to large restricted-access set of regularly navigable roads connected at one or more points to a public road network. The smallest example may be a single private community street protected by a gate. The largest USA installation is White Sands Missile Range at 3,200 square miles, larger than the USA’s smallest state.
Actual access restriction in these installations or communities is usually implemented by gates or guards that only allow entry by authorized individual. An unmanned means of preventing one-way access could be tire puncture strip that would deflate tires of vehicles going in one direction. In some cases access may be unrestricted by physical means, but may be implemented through patrols, cameras, or other means that would lead to a response to apprehend an unauthorized visitor.
A private installation, particularly larger government facilities, may have nested levels of access control. A particular region of the installation may be excluded to those who have general access to the larger installation. Larger examples may have all types of roads such as primary streets and highways. Smaller examples would only have roads and dirt roads.
- Purpose
Waze should not automatically route onto or through a private installation unless the source or destination point is within the installation. Waze should be able to route on or off of a private installation at any level of nested access without entering a separate access area of a deeper level unless the destination is within that deeper installation. Waze should be able to navigate well within a larger installation that has multiple road types.
