Road shields

Road shields are linked to the street attribute of a segment, this is the full address <Street>+<City>+<County>+<Country>. Setting a shield on 1 segment will set it for all matching segments.

It is recommended that you install the [Road Shield Assistant] script to assist with see current road shields and affects of any changes you make.

Shields on segments

To match with the Road Type convention used in the UK, road shields should be mapped as follows;

Motorway - For use on Motorway with 1 or 2 digitals M1 M42
Motorway (wide) - For use on Motorway with 3+ digits M602 A38 (M)
Primary Route - For use on Major Highway A-Roads that form part of the Primary Route Network A14
Non-Primary Route - For use on all other Minor Highway A-Roads A4030
Junction No. - For use on junction ramps that have signed numbers 21 .

Changing the shield on a segment will change the shield on all segments with the same name, however far away they may be. Likewise, changing the name of a segment will change the shield if the name matches another.

Due to the implementation of this feature, extra care must be made when assigning road shields to segments with an identical street attribute when it changes Road Type, the most likely scenario will be A-roads that change from PRN to non-PRN. Mapped Road Types have no influence on the displayed shield.

At this time (May 2021) road shields do not show on the client app for mapped Primary Street road type but but may be added if needed for turn instructions.

Junction shields should not include the letter J.

Shields on turn instructions

Turn arrows now allow editors to set the visual instructions at a turn. Editors should do their best to match the road sign at the turn. The road shield (1st) and corresponding destination name (2nd) in the Visual instructions field, and any additional destination names in the Towards field.

Road numbers within brackets (A460) should not be included at all as they are not directly off the junction, nor should road numbers be written in the Towards field.

In order to receive the correct turn instructions with road shields on roundabouts make sure to add the turn guidance on the exit turn from the roundabout. The turn guidance from the exit will be copied to the entry one.

Editors should only be used when exits have a signed junction number.

-====================
-=Postcodes=
-Waze does '''not natively''' support postcode navigation, this means Waze must use a third party (''Google Maps'') to obtain the centre of a postcodes location and will then naivate the user to the '''closest segment'''. Editors have no designated way to set a postcode to the correct buildings, street, or area. Postcodes will generally cover multiple properties and in rural locations often cover large areas.
-==Fixing postcode errors==
-Postcodes should only be ''fixed'' in Waze where there is a '''genuine error''' in the location of the postcode and Waze routes users to an inappropriate destination (ie, wrong side of a river / railway, the middle of a motorway / dual carriageway, etc). It would be beneficial if the error is corrected on Google Maps, the source of the information but this can be difficult to achieve.
-[[File:Quill Street London.png|center|frame|N2 4AD located on wrong side of railway, closer to Parkside Cr.]]
-Postcodes should not be ''fixed'' if Waze '''already''' routes users onto the correct road, a postcode alone rarely locates to a single building. In these cases users should be reminded that Waze is designed to navigate to road names and business names for better routing.
-Before attempting to ''fix'' to fix a postcode you should check the [https://www.royalmail.com/find-a-postcode '''Royal Mail Postcode Finder'''] to better understand which properties a postcode covers. If a postcode covers properties on both side of an obstacle, such as a river, correcting it for one side will cause errors for the other side, and therefore should '''not''' be ''fixed''.[[File:Royal Mail Postcode Finder.png|center|450x450px|thumb|Postcode Finder results for N2 4AD]]
-===Single buildings===
-On the occasions when a single building is assigned an '''exclusive''' postcode (ie, large apartment blocks, DVLA, etc), a ''Place'' can be created for the business / building itself and the postcode linked in the ''External providers'' section.
-===Multiple properties===
-[[File:Postcode details.png|frame|Details to add when fixing postcodes.]]
-''Fixing'' a postcode location for multiple properties works best when the postcode is assigned to a cul-de-sac, but can be used for longer roads if the appropriate group of properties can be determined. Create a ''Place Point'', locate it in in a sensible position on the segment (ie, the start of the cul-de-sac), and fill in the following details;
-* Add the '''Address''' that matches the segment
-* The full postcode as it shown by Royal Mail ('''N2 4AD''') as the primary ''Name''
-** The same postcode without any spaces ('''N24AD''') as a secondary name, to ensure we capture all possible search inputs
-* ''Category'' set to '''other'''
-* Add something to the ''Description'' to identify this as a fix of a postcode error
-* Lock it to '''L3''' to prevent accidental deletion
-* Link the relevant Google Maps result in the ''External Providers''
-=== Missing postcodes ===
+<br />
-The same method can be used for postcodes missing from the results, usually this is due to a new housing development not yet showing in Google Maps or in the Royal Mail database.
