Alleys
Alleys should always be mapped if they have a name. Alleys should always be mapped if they are the sole access to a home or business. Alleys should always be set to "Private" Alleys are normally mapped if they are acknowledged by the municipality. If an alley does not meet the above criteria, mapping is optional. Leave the name field blank.
Non-Driveable Roads
Generally, if a path can't be driven on (e.g. Walking Trail, Pedestrain Boardwalk, Stairway, Railroad, Runway/Taxiway) then it not normally mapped. If it is mapped, it should not be connected to any roads. This is due to the way the routing engine works, as Waze will route users to drive on these "Non-Driveable" road types.
It is permitted to map Railroads since some users run Waze while on the train and contributing false data to the system. This false data has been known to effect drivers on adjacent roads. Railroads should be level -5 and locked at the highest level of the editor.
