+|}
+<br />
-.C. Don't depend on Google Maps for Street names, instead, use Bahrain Locator
+*
-http://www.bahrainlocator.gov.bh
-.D. Note the difference between 'Avenue' and 'Road'
+<br />
-An Avenue is larger than a Road
-An Avenue can be a 'Primary Street' but a Road can't
-An Avenue is translated as شارع
-A Road is translated as طريق
-. Road Direction:
-.A. If the opposite lanes of a road are separated by a sidewalk, we draw the road as two opposite one-directional roads. If there is no sidewalk in the middle we draw the road as a single bi-directional line.
-. Road Type:
-.A. Road Types are derived from Bahrain Locator
-http://www.bahrainlocator.gov.bh
-Compare the existing road types in Waze and how they're drawn in Bahrain Locator to understand the relation.
