Lock Levels

Kentucky currently observes the following minimum lock levels for Waze road types:

The following lock levels are in a proposal stage. There is currently not an official locking standard for Kentucky.

 Freeway  - 5
 Major Highway  (MH) - 3
 Minor Highway  (mH) - 3
 Primary Street  (PS) - 2

The  Ramp  road type is to be locked at the level of road it serves.

i.e. a ramp connected to a Freeway is locked at 5, a ramp serving a Major Highway, multi-level intersection is locked at 3, etc.

 Street  All others - 1

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

Freeways - I-xx
US Highways - US-xx
State Highways - KY-xxx
County Highways - CR-xxx
