General Maintenance
Primary issues for maintaining the road network
- Remove unneeded junction nodes.
- Disable all U-Turns at junction nodes (when applicable). Do this by pressing 'Q'.
- Remove excess geometry nodes (those which are not changing the geometry of a segment). When the geometry node is very near the end of a segment, double check while zoomed-in to see if the geometry node is actually changing the turn angle.
- Inspect and correct connectivity of necessary junctions.
- Ensure there is no connectivity of non-drivable segments to drivable ones.
- Update all segment "Street Names" in accordance with the guidelines in the Road Names (USA) wiki article, and the Arizona State specific guidelines.
- Inspect and correct overpasses/underpasses to ensure that the segments are on different levels, and do not have a junction node where they meet.
- Ensure that any roads crossing at the same elevation level have a junction node connecting them.
- Ensure that Update Requests are being handled correctly, courteously and in a timely fashion.
Functional Classification implementation
FUNCTIONAL CLASSIFICATION IMPLEMENTATION INTO WAZE FOR THE STATE OF ARIZONA HAS BEEN COMPLETED BUT IS UNDER REVIEW TO ENSURE IT MEETS WAZE NATIONAL CLASSIFICATION STANDARDS
PLEASE REFER TO THIS FORUM TOPIC ON THE MATTER Types (USA) – comprehensive overhaul of drivable roads
Waze USA has agreed to set a national standard in accordance with the FHWA manual for establishing road classification types in Waze. The following information is in relation to how this is to be understood/applied for the state of Arizona.
Arizona to Waze Functional Classification conversion
ADOT Gis class and color description
The Arizona Classification and Color scheme come from the official Arizona D.O.T (ADOT) Functional Classification (FC) map that is published by ADOT. The legend shows what classifications ADOT uses and what color is assigned to each class.
Please refer to the Gis FC map link in the Helpful Links section below for access to the map.
This screenshot shows how the FC and color scheme appear in the GIS map.

ArcGIS Functional Classification This version of the map will give you an error when zoomed to the entire state because it has too much data to load. If you zoom to a location, it will show all of the road segments.
This is the Arizona Department of Transportation APLAN ArcGIS Functional Classification map. This is the interactive map that all Arizona editors are to use when establishing FC implementation into the Waze Map Editor.
