==Turn lanes==
===Road shields===
Firstly, the majority of junctions do '''not''' need turn lanes at all. Waze gives advanced warning of upcoming turns, it is up to the user to pick the relevant lane for the approaching turn. Turn lanes are only really needed if they are really long, or the junction is sufficiently complicated to need clearer navigation instructions.

===When not to map turn lanes===
====Shields on segments====
*When the turn lane is '''too short''' (less than 200 ft or 60 m)
To match with the Road Type convention used in the UK, road shields should be mapped as follows;
*When the turn lane is '''not distinct''' from the main carriageway
*When the turn lane splits '''at or near''' the main carriageway<!-- The term "main carriageway" confused me for a short time, as it suggests the "road that isn't the side road". Not sure how we can make this clearer though. -T --> stop or give way line.

===When turn lane may need mapping===
<br />{{Mbox|type=critical|text=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.}}
*When the turn lane splits from the main carriageway with a '''physical barrier''' separation
*When an acute angle ''may'' lead the user to misunderstand the location of the turn
*When mapping only some of several turn lanes at a junction ''unbalances'' that junction
*For better control of u-turns when junction is too wide to trigger the [[global:Routing_penalties/Controlling_U-turn_penalties|u-turn prevention]] mechanism
*Complex junctions that ''benefit'' from additional instructions.

|}


If turn lanes really are '''of benefit''' to the driver, then they should be mapped in the following way:
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.
*The turn lane segments should have '''no name''', so that the instructions read out the name of the next street.
 
*The ''Road Type'' should match the type of the roads they lead to (and '''never''' ramps). Only the main carriageway stays as the higher ''Road Type''.
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.
*The angle at the beginning of the turn lane should be shallow, so that Waze says ''Keep Left / Right'' at that point.
 
*The end of the turn lane should have a clear '''turn''' instruction near to the give-way point, unless the traffic merges onto the new road with right-of-way.
Junction shields should '''not''' include the letter '''''J'''''.
 
====Shields on turn instructions====
[[File:UK-turn-instruction.png|right|frameless|alt=|450x450px]]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 <span style="border:1px; border-style:solid; border-color:#fff; background:#00701E; color:#FDD206;">'''&nbsp;(A460)&nbsp;'''</span> 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.<br />

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.
