==Closures== <!--T:1--><br />
Real Time Closures (RTC) should be used when a road is temporarily unavailable. Users are notified of the closures in real-time, from the moment the closure is added routing through these segments is prevented. Active closures are made visible in the [[Waze app|app]] and [[Live map]] with alerts and candy stripes on the closed segments. <br /><br />
<br /><br />
Duration of an closure is maximum 6 months. It is possible to add an additional closure for another period following on a previous closure.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
The script [[WME Closure Details]] can be used to view Closure details on closures outside the [[Editable area|editable area]]. The script [[WME Advanced Closures]] handles recurrent and imported closures in the [[Waze Map Editor]].<br />
<br /><br />
[[File:Rtc-luxembourg.png|right|450px]]<br />
[[File:App-closure.png|left|200px]]Users in the [[Waze app]] can mark an unexpected road closure they see while driving. Reliable requests become immediately active on the Waze map as a <i>RTC</i> and automatically shared, via the [[Waze Closures Bot|closures bot]] with editors in the relevant Slack-channels: [https://wazebenelux.slack.com/messages/C037BDXMG #closures-be], [https://wazebenelux.slack.com/messages/C037KV8KM #closures-be-fr], [https://wazebenelux.slack.com/messages/C04CBAYGB #closures-nederland] and [https://wazebenelux.slack.com/messages/C0E3F7PSB #closures-lux]. <br /><br />
<br /><br />
The date an App closure is entered is used as startdate of the closure. App closures are almost always one-way closures.<br />To change the end date of an App closure: delete the App closure and create of a new one.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
Closures can be set by editors with [[Editor level|Level 3]] and above and by the members of the <i>Closure team</i>.<br />
<br /><br />
Requests for closures within one or two days are welcome in the Slack closure channels, others can be requested on our [[Forum|forums]]: [http://bit.ly/NLforum_closures Dutch forum closures] and [https://www.waze.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=718 Belgium forum closures].<br /><br />

'''Traffic through closure'''<br /><br />
[[File:Hov-service-road.png|right|200px]]If a certain amount of traffic passes through a road with an active closure, this closure might disappear. This is checked every 10 minutes. If there is no traffic anymore the closure will return untill the closure end time. This feature is disabled if ''HOV/Service Road adjacent'' is checked.<br />
<br />
<!--T:4--><br />
'''Node closures'''<br /><br />
If you want to prevent traffic routed through the junction between closed segments you can<br />
use <i>node closures</i>. On the bottom of the closure screen you see the Nodes Closed screen. The screen indicates whether the nodes involved are open or closed and allows you to change the state of these nodes by flipping the switch. When a node is closed, you’ll also see an indicator symbol on the map on the closed junction.<br />

==Update Requests== <!--T:1--><br />
The global [https://wazeopedia.waze.com/wiki/Global/Update_Requests_in_Waze_Map_Editor Wiki page on Update Requests] contains an extensive description of all aspects of the User Request. This page describes the BeNeLux approach.<br />
<br /><br />
[[File:UR-request-pop-up.png|right]] Update requests (UR) are submitted by [[Waze app|app]] users to report issues with the routing or the map. An icon with the small Waze icon [[File:Request_pin_open-low.png|20px]] is added to the editing map in the Update Requests [[Waze_Map_Editor#Layers_menu|layer]]. The reporters name is not displayed. Clicking on the UR icon a panel with the UR details is displayed. The UR is of a certain type, has a date time displayed. Sometimes the ''Waze provided route'' and/or the ''User drive'' are available plus some words from the reporter.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
'''Conversation'''<br /><br />
The conversation start with your first response, often asking for information. When the reporter doesn't react a friendly reminder should be send. After two reminders the UR can be closed with '''Mark as not identified'''. In case the reporter replies on your response the problem might be solved. Perhaps an explanation is sufficient, sometimes the map should be corrected. If the problem is fixed the UR can be closed with '''Mark as closed'''.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
'''First reply:'''<br />
* Thank user for reporting the issue.<br />
* Give streetname/area so the reporter knows about the location (could make a difference in case of multiple reports on that day by this reporter).<br />
* If your reply is not on the date of the UR itself give an indication of the day and time.<br />
* Ask for more information necessary to solve this UR.<br />
* Indicate that they cannot answer directly by email because of the no-reply@waze.com address used. You could include an email address of your own allowing the reporter to answer by email replacing the no-reply@waze.com address with yours.<br />
* Sign off with your name.<br />
<br /><br />
'''Procedure'''<br />
* First reply '''>''' First reminder after 3 days '''>''' Optional second reminder 3 days later '''>''' Mark as Not identified [[File:UR-mark-as-not-identified.png|85px]] 3 days later.<br />
* React on reporter's answers until a conclusion is reached '''>''' Mark as Solved [[File:UR-mark-as-solved.png|85px]] 3 days later to give the reporter the opportunity to give a last reaction. <br />
<br /><br />
'''Etiquette'''<br /><br />
When you respond to user reports, you are interacting with the original reporter, and you may also be interacting with other Waze editors who respond to the same request. The first responding editor has no absolute ownership of the problem solution. Other editors should not step in, other than to send a next reminder to the reporter, or unless they think the owner needs help (whether the owner realizes it or not), or the first reporting editor has abandoned/lost track of the report over time.<br /><br />
* Always react friendly, helpful.<br />
* Don't use jargon<br />
* Keep your reactions short and to the point.<br />
<br />
<div style="clear: both"></div><br />
===Example Turn not allowed=== <!--T:2--><br />
[[File:UR-turn-not-allowed-example-1.png|left|200px]] The report indicates “Turn not allowed”. <br /><br />
<br /><br />
Looking at the green line (=GPS track driven by user in reality), a turn was made at the end of the road where the purple line (Waze route) starts.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
If there are no obvious reason’s to be found (like red [[Junction Arrows|Turn Restrictions]], or unconnected roads) you will have to investigate further and probably need the help of the user.<br />
In this case the reason is unclear so we will try to get in contact with the reporter using the Conversation Box asking for more information.<br /><br />

<br />
==Places== <!--T:1--><br />
<i>Places</i> are searchable destinations in the Waze map, just like the "Points of Interest" found in certain popular GPS devices. They can be added from the client, but also in the [[Waze Map Editor]]. Here you'll find the instructions on how to create a Place in the [[Waze Map Editor|WME]]. For a description of the different types of places see the [[Place categories]] page.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
A Place can be a <i>Point</i> or an <i>Area</i>. Above a given size <i>Area Places</i> become visible in the client. A <i>Point Place</i> is never visible, but both types can be searched and navigated to. There is also a third kind of Place called [[#Residential or Private Places|Residential]], which are private addresses. These are always Point Places.<br /><br />
===Point Places===<br />
Point Places don't show on the Wazers device. They can be used to help Wazers find locations, especially when they are not or wrongly listed in other destination search engines. As they are searchable from the [[Waze app|app]], accurate positioning of a point location and providing a full address (including [[house numbers|street number]]) are both utterly important.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
In the [[Waze Map Editor|WME]], a Point appears as a small circle:<br /><br />
[[File:Wme place.png]] Standard point<br /><br />
<br />
<!--T:2--><br />
[[File:Wme place selected.png]] Selected point<br /><br />
<br />
<!--T:3--><br />
[[File:Wme place changed.png]] Modified point<br /><br />
<br />
[[File:Wme place pending update.png]] Modified point, pending for approval<br /><br />
<br /><br />
The Waze routing server will navigate the Wazer onto the segment which is physically closest to where the <i>Point</i> is placed. <br /><br />
The Point Marker is the stop point. Typically, if the Place is inside a building, the marker should be located at or near the location's main entrance door. Try to imagine where you would stop to drop someone off for this location.<br />
===Area Places=== <!--T:4--><br />
<i>Area Places</i> appear in the [[Waze app]]. Too many of them can clutter the map, creating large gray zones that do not help Wazers orient themselves. Therefore, it is important to use <i>Area Places</i> only when they are distinctive and significant enough to orient drivers. Care should be taken not to snap to road segment nodes, because this makes it more difficult to edit the place and/or segments later on.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
[[Parking Lot Place|Parking Lots]] and [[Gas Station Place|Gas Stations]] should be drawn as areas, regardless of their size. All other places are generally drawn as a Point Place, except when they are large and distinctive enough to help in the orientation during driving. See also the paragraph on [[#When_to_use_Area_or_Point|how to determine Area or Point]].<br /><br />
<br /><br />
Generally, an <i>Area Place</i> only covers what a Wazer sees when driving to the actual location. It follows that the Area outline covers the building of the place, but never the whole property. However, an <i>Area Place</i> doesn't have to be as detailed as the building is, actually, it's better to keep the shape roughly. <br /><br />
Natural features such as forests, parks, and lakes are drawn to the visible contours.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
Some types of <i>Area Places</i> show in different colors in the [[Waze app|app]]. Generally, Natural features show green (e.g., Park) or blue (e.g., River).<br /><br />
[[File:WME BNL Area Place outline.jpg|thumb|Area Place for the Namur hospital, with the Point Marker at the entrance, and the Move Handle on the top right of the building]]<br />
<br /><br />
Each <i>Area Place</i> has a [[File:Wme place stop point.png]] “Point Marker“ , which by default is centered. This point can be moved to where you should arrive, or where to park, even a short distance outside of the marked area, indicated by the black outline (see picture). Again, try to imagine where you would stop to drop someone off for this location.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
If the Area itself needs to be modified, click on the place to select it. Use the geometry points to adjust the shape. To move an area place without changing its shape, drag the [[File:Wme place drag handle.png]] Move Handle icon.<br /><br />
<br />
===Residential or Private Places=== <!--T:5--><br />
When arriving, Waze proposes to take a picture of your destination. In this way, many private Places are uploaded to [[Waze Map Editor|WME]]. For these private Places, the category <i>residential</i> is used. Private Places will not be searchable, and the identity of whoever created them or attached pictures, will not be exposed. Private Places only contain photos and an exact address, without all the other properties of a Place. The pictures will only show to people driving explicitly to that address. Waze editors will be using the pictures and exact locations to improve the [[house numbers]] database.<br />

===Combined Places=== <!--T:7--><br />
[[File:Wme places mall area with points.png|thumb|Point Places within an Area Place]] Point Places within an Area Place are allowed and mostly used for shops in a shopping mall, faculties within a University campus, etc.. Avoid Areas within Areas, as this may become confusing on the client's display.<br />
<br />
==When to use Area or Point== <!--T:8--><br />
[[Parking Lot Place|Parking Lots]] and [[Gas Station Place|Gas Stations]] are always drawn as Area Place. Most other places are generally drawn as a Point Place, except when they are large and distinctive enough to help in the orientation during driving, which will often be the case with an Event Center, Factory, Hospital, Office, Camping, Shopping malls, Museums (e.g.,Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam), Monuments (e.g., Mardasson, Bastogne), Schools, Tourist Site, Attraction, Sports Court or Stadium and natural features. They are mapped as areas at the (building) outline and usually don't cover streets. <br /><br />
<br />
<!--T:17--><br />
The [[Place categories|table of categories]] also gives a guideline to choose between point and area places, according to their category, sub-category and probable area size.<br /><br />
<br />
==Places details== <!--T:9--><br />
Any Place - Point or Area - should contain as much information as possible. <br />
<br />
===General tab=== <!--T:10--><br />
The General tab for a <i>Place</i> is where you complete all of the basic information: categories, name, description, gas brand, residential/public, hours of operation, country, state, city, street and house number.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
'''Category'''<br />
: Places need at least one <i>category</i> to be assigned, but may belong to several others. Always choose the main category first. For example, a Gas Station may also be “Convenience Store”, “Car Wash”, or “Charging Station”. For a more detailed explanation of categories, see the [[Place categories]] page.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
'''Name and address'''<br />
:If possible, provide <i>name</i> and <i>address</i>. The naming of a Place should be done in the formal language of the location where the place is situated. Use the official name of the Place. In bi-lingual areas, use the alternate name. The address is especially useful to guide Wazers to the Place. Add other important information, such as brand (service stations) and opening times.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
'''Description'''<br />
: Beware not to use the <i>Description</i> field for notes to other editors. This field is visible in the Waze app, and should only contain details pertinent to the Place itself.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
'''Entry points'''<br />
: Add, if necessary, <i>Entry points</i> so Waze is able to navigate you to the right side of the place. Every entry point should have a name, the name will be shown in the [[Waze app|client]] ETA screen. It’s important to keep the name short to fit the card and make sure it’s easily understandable. <br /><br />
*<small>[https://www.waze.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=277779 Forum topic: Multiple Entry Points - Released]</small><br />
<br /><br />
'''External providers'''<br />
: Waze allows you to connect to POI from <i>external providers</i>. One of the providers is <i>Google Maps</i>. When a Place is linked, drivers can select any destination from search results in the app, whether the result is from Waze or Google, it will always lead you to the navigation stop point from Waze.<br />
<br />
: If there are more than one places defined for one POI, link the <i>external provider</i> to the most important one. Example: Underground station with more than one entrance defined, use the main entrance.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
In the picture below you see an example from the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
[[File:Place-rijksmuseum-amsterdam.png|750px]]<br />
<br /><br />
===More Info tab=== <!--T:11--><br />
You can provide the website address and phone number in the “More Info” tab, where you can also select optional services, like Wifi, Toilets, Terrace or Parking for customers (not to be drawn separately!). Information in this tab are shown in the search results. From there you can click the website address or telephone number and activate your browser or phone function. Therefore, they should be in a usable format:<br /><br />
<br /><br />
[[File:WME Places searchresults EN.png|230px|thumb]]<br />
'''Website'''<br />
: The website address is best written as www.address.extension, like www.casca.nl. Leave out http:// or https://.<br />
: If the website is multilingual and a choice has to be made, if possible default to English.<br />
<br /><br />
'''Telephone'''<br />
: Telephone numbers should best be written in international format: Generally, the number consists of the land code, followed by the area code (without 0), and than the subscribers number, all without dashes, slashes, brackets and the like. Formatting spaces are allowed but not necessary.<br />
:'''Belgium''': <br />
::+32 AA BB BB BB, or +32 A BBB BB BB for landlines, <br />
::+32 4AA BB BB BB or +32 4AA BBB BBB for mobile numbers<br />
:'''Netherlands''': <br />
::+31 AA BBBBBBBB, or +31 AAA BBBBBBB for landlines, <br />
::+31 6 CBBBBBBB for mobile numbers<br />
:'''Luxembourg''':<br />
::+352 local number (varies in amount of numbers and areas)<br />
<br /><br />
<br />
<!--T:18--><br />
'''Opening hours'''<br />
:Add if possible the opening hours.<br />
<br />
===Photos tab=== <!--T:12--><br />
Any photos which drivers have added to a Place will appear in the "Photos" tab. In [[Waze Map Editor|WME]], we can only view and delete photos. Photos can only be uploaded via the Waze app, via a [[Place update request|PUR]]. Make a well thought-out decision about discarding a photo. Once a photo is deleted, it cannot be recovered. Delete only if the photo really is unclear, not helpful and/or inappropriate. For more guidelines on accepting or discarding photo's see the global Wiki page paragraph [https://wazeopedia.waze.com/wiki/Global/Places#Place_Updates_.28Moderation.29 Place Updates (Moderation)].<br />
<br />
==Lock Levels== <!--T:13--><br />
Please consider that places that are fundamental to the functioning of Waze, such as [[Parking Lot Place|Parking Lots]], should be locked at least to Level '''2''' (or higher), to prevent loss of data due to automatic acceptance of submissions. See also the page on [[Place categories]].<br />

<br />
==Places== <!--T:1--><br />
<i>Places</i> are searchable destinations in the Waze map, just like the "Points of Interest" found in certain popular GPS devices. They can be added from the client, but also in the [[Waze Map Editor]]. Here you'll find the instructions on how to create a Place in the [[Waze Map Editor|WME]]. For a description of the different types of places see the [[Place categories]] page.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
A Place can be a <i>Point</i> or an <i>Area</i>. Above a given size <i>Area Places</i> become visible in the client. A <i>Point Place</i> is never visible, but both types can be searched and navigated to. There is also a third kind of Place called [[#Residential or Private Places|Residential]], which are private addresses. These are always Point Places.<br /><br />
===Point Places===<br />
Point Places don't show on the Wazers device. They can be used to help Wazers find locations, especially when they are not or wrongly listed in other destination search engines. As they are searchable from the [[Waze app|app]], accurate positioning of a point location and providing a full address (including [[house numbers|street number]]) are both utterly important.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
In the [[Waze Map Editor|WME]], a Point appears as a small circle:<br /><br />
[[File:Wme place.png]] Standard point<br /><br />
<br />
<!--T:2--><br />
[[File:Wme place selected.png]] Selected point<br /><br />
<br />
<!--T:3--><br />
[[File:Wme place changed.png]] Modified point<br /><br />
<br />
[[File:Wme place pending update.png]] Modified point, pending for approval<br /><br />
<br /><br />
The Waze routing server will navigate the Wazer onto the segment which is physically closest to where the <i>Point</i> is placed. <br /><br />
The Point Marker is the stop point. Typically, if the Place is inside a building, the marker should be located at or near the location's main entrance door. Try to imagine where you would stop to drop someone off for this location.<br />
===Area Places=== <!--T:4--><br />
<i>Area Places</i> appear in the [[Waze app]]. Too many of them can clutter the map, creating large gray zones that do not help Wazers orient themselves. Therefore, it is important to use <i>Area Places</i> only when they are distinctive and significant enough to orient drivers. Care should be taken not to snap to road segment nodes, because this makes it more difficult to edit the place and/or segments later on.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
[[Parking Lot Place|Parking Lots]] and [[Gas Station Place|Gas Stations]] should be drawn as areas, regardless of their size. All other places are generally drawn as a Point Place, except when they are large and distinctive enough to help in the orientation during driving. See also the paragraph on [[#When_to_use_Area_or_Point|how to determine Area or Point]].<br /><br />
<br /><br />
Generally, an <i>Area Place</i> only covers what a Wazer sees when driving to the actual location. It follows that the Area outline covers the building of the place, but never the whole property. However, an <i>Area Place</i> doesn't have to be as detailed as the building is, actually, it's better to keep the shape roughly. <br /><br />
Natural features such as forests, parks, and lakes are drawn to the visible contours.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
Some types of <i>Area Places</i> show in different colors in the [[Waze app|app]]. Generally, Natural features show green (e.g., Park) or blue (e.g., River).<br /><br />
[[File:WME BNL Area Place outline.jpg|thumb|Area Place for the Namur hospital, with the Point Marker at the entrance, and the Move Handle on the top right of the building]]<br />
<br /><br />
Each <i>Area Place</i> has a [[File:Wme place stop point.png]] “Point Marker“ , which by default is centered. This point can be moved to where you should arrive, or where to park, even a short distance outside of the marked area, indicated by the black outline (see picture). Again, try to imagine where you would stop to drop someone off for this location.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
If the Area itself needs to be modified, click on the place to select it. Use the geometry points to adjust the shape. To move an area place without changing its shape, drag the [[File:Wme place drag handle.png]] Move Handle icon.<br /><br />
<br />
===Residential or Private Places=== <!--T:5--><br />
When arriving, Waze proposes to take a picture of your destination. In this way, many private Places are uploaded to [[Waze Map Editor|WME]]. For these private Places, the category <i>residential</i> is used. Private Places will not be searchable, and the identity of whoever created them or attached pictures, will not be exposed. Private Places only contain photos and an exact address, without all the other properties of a Place. The pictures will only show to people driving explicitly to that address. Waze editors will be using the pictures and exact locations to improve the [[house numbers]] database.<br />
<br />
<!--T:6--><br />

===Photos tab=== <!--T:12--><br />
Any photos which drivers have added to a Place will appear in the "Photos" tab. In [[Waze Map Editor|WME]], we can only view and delete photos. Photos can only be uploaded via the Waze app, via a [[Place update request|PUR]]. Make a well thought-out decision about discarding a photo. Once a photo is deleted, it cannot be recovered. Delete only if the photo really is unclear, not helpful and/or inappropriate. For more guidelines on accepting or discarding photo's see the global Wiki page paragraph [https://wazeopedia.waze.com/wiki/Global/Places#Place_Updates_.28Moderation.29 Place Updates (Moderation)].<br />
<br />
==Lock Levels== <!--T:13--><br />
Please consider that places that are fundamental to the functioning of Waze, such as [[Parking Lot Place|Parking Lots]], should be locked at least to Level '''2''' (or higher), to prevent loss of data due to automatic acceptance of submissions. See also the page on [[Place categories]].<br />
<br />
==Aspects== <!--T:14--><br />
* [[Place update request]]<br />
* [[Flagged place]]<br />
* [https://support.google.com/waze/answer/7402261?hl=en Misplaced ad pins form] is intended for reporting issues with advertised places that are wrongly placed on the map. Requests of <b>L4</b> editors are automatically approved by Waze.<br />

==Junction Arrows== <!--T:1--><br />
[[File:Junction-arrows-example.png|right]]<br />
When you select a segment, you can set the turns by clicking the arrows at the junction(s) with other segments. These arrows are also called [[Turn restriction|Turn restrictions]] or TR.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
In General:<br />
* A green arrow means Allowed<br />
* A yellow arrow means it is [[Turn restriction|Partially Restricted]] (time or vehicle-type based)<br />
* A red arrow with the circle-slash icon means Restricted<br />
Clicking an arrow toggles between Allowed and Restricted (or, between Partially and Fully Restricted).<br /><br />
<br /><br />
Each arrow must be set correctly for Waze to route correctly. Initial turn restrictions on roads that are imported by Waze, are set automatically by the Waze routing engine. At the moment these are called Soft turns. They are not yet confirmed manually by an editor and you can recognize them at the little question mark next to it. The soft turns can be altered by the routing engine, based on the driving activity. Manually set turns will never be altered by the routing engin. Unfortunately, both automatic and manually restricted turns are represented by red arrows and cannot be distinguished. Currently, when you use the option to enable all turns, it will not fully change the routing from automatic to manual setting, leaving possible so called RevCons. To clear these, select the junction with the mouse. Then, in the left menu pane, click the link to "Disallow all turns" and then "Allow all turns". Alternately you can use the keyboard shortcuts, by pressing the letter '''q''' to disallow all connections, followed by '''w''' to allow all connections.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
See the section [https://wazeopedia.waze.com/wiki/Global/Creating_and_editing_road_segments#Set_allowed_turns_.28connections.29 set allowed turns] in the global Wiki for more information.<br /><br />

Keyboard Shortcuts for junction arrowsː<br />
:Press '''s''' to separate overlapping arrows.<br />
:Press '''a''' to make arrows transparent or opaque, so you can see beneath them or click items under them<br />
:Press '''q''' to disallow all turns<br />
:Press '''w''' to allow all turns<br />
:Press '''⇧ Shift+z''' to toggle between seeing the turns for one segement, or seeing all restricted turns (red arrows) for all junctions in your screen. Don't forget to toggle back if actually setting the junction arrows on a segment.<br /><br />
<br />
<br />
===Turn Instruction Overrides=== <!--T:2--><br />
[[File:Junction-arrows-menu.png|right|400px]]<br />
Turn Instruction Overrides (TIO) is a feature in the [[Waze Map Editor|WME]] which allows editors to manually set a turn arrow to give a non-default text and [[Text to speak|verbal instruction]] to the driver making that turn through a junction.<br /><br />
Use only when necessary, otherwise leave '''Waze Selected'''.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
<small>Note: A [https://wazeopedia.waze.com/wiki/Global/Junction_Style_Guide/Intersections#Steep_angles_with_exits_and_keep_right_or_left micro-dogleg] (mDL), was a technique used for altering the angle Waze sees at a junction, which affects turn instructions. This technique is replaced by the TIO.</small><br />

[[Road types|Road type]] accessible by car but not allowed to access by everybody.<br /><br />
Some examples:<br />
* Streets in Closed company areas, bungalow parks and other restricted areas. <br />
* Roads only allowed for local traffic<br />
* Tow paths<br />
* Hunting paths<br />
* City center or other, like a promenade, where only can be driven at certain times.<br />
* The <i>Private roadtype</i> may be used to prevent serious cut-through traffic.<br />
<br /><br />
As a general rule we don't map private accesses to houses, farms or other buildings. But, on locations where relative many cars have a short stop, think of loading/unloading, you can consider drawing a <i>Private road</i> from the main segment to the address, to prevent the negative influence on average speed of the main segment. Consult the [[GPS|GPS-tracks]].<br /><br />

==Junction Box== <!--T:1--><br />
[[File:Junction-box-map.png|right|260px]]Junction boxes (JBs) are used to improve ETA calculations and routing through complicated intersections, and interchanges. Junction boxes are displayed as multiple segments with multiple inputs and outputs. They are basically a hint editors can give the Waze routing services that “although these few segments are cut in a few places, they generally should be treated as a single point which connects traffic from several sources”.<br /><br />
[[File:Junction-box-attrib.png|right|260px]]<br />
<br /><br />
Considering a complex intersection as a single point has several beneficial properties:<br />
* Traffic speed data for each path through the junction box can be collected separately.<br />
* [[Turn restriction|Turn restrictions]] can also be separately controlled for each path through the junction box.<br />
<br /><br />
For ETA purposes, the routing server does not consider segments wholly within the junction box, but rather treats the junction box as if all the segments which enter or exit the the junction box are connected to at a single junction node.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
Junction boxes are considered only by the routing server. Junction boxes have no effect on navigational prompts. Junction boxes have no visibility in the client or on the live map. Junction boxes do not effect the search engine; the origin or destination of route may be contained in a junction box.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
For editting a junction box '''L5''' is needed.<br />

==Roundabout== <!--T:1--><br />
[[File:Roundabout-example.png|right|400px]]<br />
Roundabouts, rotaries, or traffic circles, are unique segments of roadway in the Waze router. When a driver approaches a roundabout, a specific icon is displayed in the turn direction area of the display with a number corresponding to the exit count from the driver's entry into the roundabout.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
[[File:D01-roundabout.png|left|80px|D01 traffic sign]] Only traffic circles with the D01 traffic sign should be mapped as roundabout. Other traffic circles should be mapped with separate curved segments or just as crossing.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
<br /><br />
<br />
If you want to add a <i>roundabout</i>, you firstly draw the roads as a normal crossroad, but don't connect the roads/segments. Secondly you draw the roundabout and [[Waze Map Editor|WME]] will connect the crossing roads automatically. Extended information can be found in the USA wiki on the: [https://wazeopedia.waze.com/wiki/Global/Roundabouts/USA Roundabouts/USA] page.<br />
===Remarks=== <!--T:2--><br />
* Add a [[Street and City names|City name]] but no [[Street and City names|Street]]. This is because the route assistance during navigation.<br />
* A roundabout always get as [[Road types|road type]] the type of the most important passing through road.<br />
* Enter as [[Speed limit]] the highest maximum speed of the connected segments.<br />
* A dead-end street (cul de sac) should not have a roundabout at the end. <br />
* If there is no road sign for a roundabout don't use a roundabout. <br />
* Don't create connected roads within a <i>roundabout</i>. This lead to weird [[Text to speak|instructions]] like "take exit zero".<br />
* [[LARGAS]] refers to a special type roundabout.<br />
* For moving a complete roundabout the [[WME RA util script]] can be used.<br />

==Welcome editor!== <!--T:1--><br />
This page provides the basics to start editing the Waze Map. Because Waze is a navigation tool and not a topographic map, some things are drawn differently than expected. Our advice is, after reading this page, to choose one type of edit and first familiarize yourself with all aspects of that edit. Otherwise, you might as well get overfed with information. Don't forget to join [[Slack]], our primary communication platform. Your [[community]] is happy to help you make your edits work.<br />
==How to get to the Waze Map Editor (WME)==<br />
# Log in to www.waze.com. If prompted to login, use the same username and password as you do on the Waze client app and the rest of the Waze website.<br />
# Search for your location<br />
# Click [[Live map|<i>live map</i>]]<br />
# Click <i>edit the map</i><br />
Or, go directly to www.waze.com/editor/?env=row.<br /><br />
After logging in, you will see the following page:<br />
<br />
<!--T:2--><br />
[[File:Wme whole window blank.jpg|720px]]<br />
<br />
<!--T:3--><br />
If you want to learn more about the controls and functions of [[Waze Map Editor|WME]], you can find more details on the global wiki [https://wazeopedia.waze.com/wiki/Global/Map_Editor_Interface_and_Controls WME Interface and Controls] page.<br />
<br />
==Start in Practice Mode== <!--T:4--><br />
[[File:Wme-practise-mode.png|450px|right]]<br />
Before editing the map for real, you may first want to practice editing. Go to the [https://www.waze.com/editor/?env=row WME server] and choose Practice Mode. If you are already logged into [[Waze Map Editor|WME]], log out first to be able to enter Practice Mode.<br />
The [[Waze Map Editor]] has a Practice mode in which you can perform nearly every action available when logged into the Editor, except that you cannot save any changes. In order to save changes, you must log in. Practice mode is helpful to new and existing editors and should be used to try out new or complicated edits before executing them.<br />
More information can be found on the global [https://wazeopedia.waze.com/wiki/Global/Waze_Map_Editor#Practice_Mode Practice Mode] page.<br /><br />
<br />
==Editing the map== <!--T:5--><br />
Most starting editors at first try to match the map of Waze perfectly to the satellite image. They split roads, add bicycle paths and walking trails, make the roads very fluently and draw detailed places. However, Waze is ''NOT'' a topografical map, but a navigation system that routes you to your destination in the best/fastest way. Therefore, keep the Waze map simple: The lesser the detail, the clearer the map, lesser data use, faster calculations, and easier maintainance. With that in mind, let's start editing the map!<br />
===Create a Road===<br />
# Hover the mouse over the [[File:DrawRoads.jpg|25px]] button on the toolbar at the top of the page and click "Road" ([https://wazeopedia.waze.com/wiki/Global/Keyboard_shortcuts Shortcut key]]: i; Roundabouts are explained [[#Create a roundabout|below]])<br />
# Click the mouse on the map at the point where you want to start the new road segment.<br />
# Move the mouse cursor along the path of the road and click the mouse to add a [[#Changing elements on the map|geometry node]] for each point that changes direction along the road.<br />
# When finished, double-click (or shift-click) the last point to end the segment.<br />
# Select the segment again, and fill in the details of the segment in the menu pane on the left.<br />
* Each segment that is added must have a Country, City, and Street name, under the "Edit" link left. If there is no City and/or Street name available, then the "None" box(es) must be selected. As long as no City / Street name are specified you will see in the editor a red outline around the segment.<br />
* Be sure the road actually exists before creating it.<br />
<br />
For more detail on creating road segments, see the global [https://wazeopedia.waze.com/wiki/Global/Creating_and_editing_road_segments Creating and editing road segments] page.<br />
===Create a Place=== <!--T:6--><br />
Hover over this [[File:DrawPlace.jpg|25px]] button to show [[Place categories]]. Choose one and click on the map to add it. This will add a point place. Use the [https://wazeopedia.waze.com/wiki/Global/Map_Editor_Interface_and_Controls#Left_Pane_when_a_Place_is_selected left pane] to change it to an area and to change other information about the place. For an area place, use [[#Geometry nodes|geometry nodes]] of the place to change its shape.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
More information about Places can found in the BeNeLux [[Places|Places page]].<br />
<br />
===Changing elements on the map=== <!--T:7--><br />
To change existing roads or Places, select the object you want to change. Now you can change the shape or appearance by adjusting the road geometry.<br /><br />
'''Geometry nodes'''<br />
[[File:Segments Nodes Junctions.png|500px]]<br />
<br /><br />
[[File:Segment geometry node.png|left]] <br />
[[File:Landmark node.png|left]] <br />
When editing a segment or Area Place, large white circles appear where the segment changes direction ultimately altering its shape. Click and drag them individually to alter the geometry of the segment or Place. Press the '''d''' key while the mouse is hovered over them to delete the geometry node. Alternately, hold the '''d''' key and then move the mouse over the [[Nodes|nodes]] you want to delete.<br /><br />
[[File:Segment intergeometry node.png|left]]<br />
[[File:Landmark intergeometry node.png|left]]<br />
The smaller white circles between the geometry [[Nodes|nodes]] are "inter"-geometry nodes. When you click and drag an inter-geometry node, it becomes a larger geometry node and two more inter-geometry nodes appear halfway between each side again.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
* TIP: Under the [[File:Layers.png|25px]] Layer icon at the top right of the [https://wazeopedia.waze.com/wiki/Global/Map_Editor_Interface_and_Controls#Map_Editor_Tool_Bar Map Editor Tool Bar], you can turn off the [https://wazeopedia.waze.com/wiki/Global/Map_Editing_Tips_and_Hints#Editing_with_roads_layer_off road layer], to have a better view on the road structure and Satellite Image.<br />
* TIP: Press <kbd class="keyboard-key nowrap" style="border: 1px solid #aaa; -moz-border-radius: 0.2em; -webkit-border-radius: 0.2em; border-radius: 0.2em; -moz-box-shadow: 0.1em 0.2em 0.2em #ddd; -webkit-box-shadow: 0.1em 0.2em 0.2em #ddd; box-shadow: 0.1em 0.2em 0.2em #ddd; background-color: #f9f9f9; background-image: -moz-linear-gradient(top, #eee, #f9f9f9, #eee); background-image: -o-linear-gradient(top, #eee, #f9f9f9, #eee); background-image: -webkit-linear-gradient(top, #eee, #f9f9f9, #eee); background-image: linear-gradient(to bottom, #eee, #f9f9f9, #eee); padding: 0.1em 0.3em; font-family: inherit; font-size: 0.85em;">Delete</kbd> to delete a selected segment, Place, or junction.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
For more information, see the global page on [https://wazeopedia.waze.com/wiki/Global/Creating_and_editing_road_segments#Editing_existing_roads Editing existing roads].<br />
<br />
===Connecting roads=== <!--T:8--><br />
When drawing new segments, or moving segments around, the editor will automatically make junctions.<br />
# For new roads, if you start and/or end the new segment on an existing segment, a junction is created at the location were you start/end the new segment<br />
# For existing roads, if you move the start or the end of a segment onto an existing segment, a junction is created<br />
# If you move a junction to an existing segment or junction, all roads connected will be part of the junction.<br />
<br /><br />
'''Bridging roads'''<br /><br />
# Select two adjacent segments which should be joined together<br />
# Click the [[File:Bridge idle.png|30px]] icon over the junction<br />
* The properties of the segments to be bridged must be identical or you will not see the bridge icon<br />
* Bridging automatically increases the level of the new merged segment by 1 more than the highest level of the two segments. You can change it, of course, if it needs to be a different level.<br /><br />
Generally, if two segments can be joined, you can also select the junction and press the trash can icon to have them join as well. If the trash can icon does not appear, the segments are different in some way. This might be the reason there is a junction in the first place. For more detail, see the global page on [https://wazeopedia.waze.com/wiki/Global/Overpasses,_Underpasses_and_Bridges Overpasses, Underpasses and Bridges].<br /><br />
<br /><br />
'''Crossing roads'''<br /><br />
When two roads cross each other at the same elevation level, they can be joined together easily. This is useful if you draw several new roads for a neighborhood by drawing segments from end-to-end and allowing new segments to cross each other. Once drawn, you can junction them using this method.<br />
# [[Additional_editing_tips#Select multiple segments|Select both segments]]<br />
# Click the [[File:Node idle.png|30px]] which should appear above the intersection<br />
# A junction is added<br />
The sign won't appear if the roads cross each other multiple times, or when elevation levels differ. You can often use this method with unconfirmed (red) roads, but sometimes the editor will refuse to do this process until the roads are confirmed. Additionally, changing zoom level sometimes helps to get the sometimes-stubborn junction creator icon to appear. <br /><br />
For further information see the global page on [https://wazeopedia.waze.com/wiki/Global/Map_Editing_Quick-start_Guide#Overlapping_road_junction Overlapping road junctions].<br /><br />
Be sure to check the <i>Junction Arrows</i> for your newly created junctions.<br />
<br />
===Junction Arrows=== <!--T:9--><br />
[[File:Lotsa turns.jpg|right]]<br />
When you select a segment, you can set the turns by clicking the arrows at the junction(s) with other segments.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
In General:<br />
* A green arrow means Allowed<br />
* A yellow arrow with a clock means it is [https://wazeopedia.waze.com/wiki/Global/Partial_restrictions Partially Restricted] (time or vehicle-type based)<br />
* A red arrow with the circle-slash icon means Restricted<br />
Clicking an arrow toggles between Allowed and Restricted (or, between Partially and Fully Restricted).<br /><br />
<br /><br />
<i>NOTE: The slashed-circle icon for Restricted and clock icon for Partial turn restrictions are put in place to allow editors with various forms of color blindness differentiate between the three different types of turn arrows. </i><br /><br />
<br />
<!--T:10--><br />
Each arrow must be set correctly for Waze to route correctly. Initial turn restrictions on roads that are imported by Waze, are set automatically by the Waze routing engine. At the moment these are called Soft turns. They are not yet confirmed manually by an editor and you can recognize them at the little question mark next to it. The soft turns can be altered by the routing engine, based on the driving activity. Manually set turns will never be altered by the routing engine. Unfortunately, both automatic and manually restricted turns are represented by red arrows and cannot be distinguished. Currently, when you use the option to enable all turns, it will not fully change the routing from automatic to manual setting, leaving possible so called RevCons. To clear these, select the junction with the mouse. Then, in the left menu pane, click the link to "Disallow all turns" and then "Allow all turns". Alternately you can use the keyboard shortcuts, by pressing the letter '''q''' to disallow all connections, followed by '''w''' to allow all connections.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
See the section [https://wazeopedia.waze.com/wiki/Global/Creating_and_editing_road_segments#Set_allowed_turns_.28connections.29 set allowed turns] in the global wiki for more information.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
Keyboard Shortcuts for junction arrowsː<br />
:Press '''s''' to separate overlapping arrows.<br />
:Press '''a''' to make arrows transparent or opaque, so you can see beneath them or click items under them<br />
:Press '''q''' to disallow all turns<br />
:Press '''w''' to allow all turns<br />
:Press '''⇧ Shift+z''' to toggle between seeing the turns for one segement, or seeing all restricted turns (red arrows) for all junctions in your screen. Don't forget to toggle back if actually setting the junction arrows on a segment.<br />
<br />
===Create a roundabout=== <!--T:11--><br />
# Draw single road segments that will lead to the [[Roundabout|roundabout]] and ensure they extend into the center of the roundabout area. Use the visual map or gps points to align the roads.<br />
# Hover the mouse over the [[File:DrawRoads.jpg|25px]] button on the toolbar at the top of the page and click "Roundabout" (Shortcut key: o).<br />
# Click the mouse on the map at the center of the roundabout area.<br />
# Move the mouse cursor outside, up to the middle of where the roundabout road should be, and single-click. WME now creates the roundabout and will remove all segments within it.<br />
# Roundabouts should not get a Streetname to enable proper routing. Enter the City name in the "Edit" menu left. Check the "None" box of the Streetname.<br />
Roundabouts in [[Waze Map Editor|WME]] will yield specific routing instructions to drivers, such as "at the roundabout, take the third exit". If those routing instructions could confuse drivers, the Roundabout tool should not be used.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
Roundabouts should never be used for cul-de-sacs or other dead end streets, regardless of how round they are. A single road segment leading to a cul-de-sac should be drawn as a dead end. With very large roads it might be advisable to create a loop, but not a roundabout. <br /><br />
<br /><br />
Traffic circles without roundabout signs should not be drawn as a roundabout. In some cases, a roundabout is not used even if there is a roundabout sign, to create the best possible instructions for the situation. <br /><br />
See also the page on [[Roundabout|roundabouts]].<br />
<br />
===Create a loop road=== <!--T:12--><br />
[[File:Dead_end_loop.png|thumb|left|one instead of three segment loop. Better to make it a dead end street]]<br />
[[File:Loop-road-example.png|thumb|right|correct three segment loop]]<br />
Every loop must be made up of three or more segments. Any loop that does not follow this rule can cause problems for the Waze routing server. If there is no side-street, you must insert an extra junction node along the loop. <br /><br />
<br /><br />
If you have to correct a loop road with less than three segments, cut one of the looping segments somewhere, following the instructions in [[#Cutting a segment|Cutting a segment]] and check the [[#Junction Arrows|Junction Arrows]]. <br /><br />
<br /><br />
Please note, a real loop road should only be sparsely used with care. For more information, see the article Loops in the global Wiki page [https://wazeopedia.waze.com/wiki/Global/Junction_Style_Guide Junction Style Guide].<br />
<br />
===Cutting a segment=== <!--T:13--><br />
You can cut a segment into two new segments. You can do this by adding a new segment from some random point nearby, to the point of the segment where you want to cut it. A new junction will be added. Delete the new segment just created. The newly created junction will remain and you made two new segments out of one. If you need to actually separate the road segments at that point, just relocate the end point of one of the two new segments.<br />
<br />
===Walking Trails / Pedestrian Boardwalks=== <!--T:14--><br />
Adding [[Walking trail|Walking Trails]] or [[Pedestrian Boardwalk|Pedestrian Boardwalks]] should only be done exceptionally. Do not add any before reading the general [[Non-drivable roads]] information and detailed information and guidelines on [[Pedestrian Boardwalk|Pedestrian Boardwalks]] and [[Walking trail|Walking Trails]]. When you have any doubt just ask your [[Community]].<br />
<br />
===Parking lots=== <!--T:15--><br />
[[File:WME ParkingLot corrects.PNG|thumb]]<br />
[[File:WNE ParkingLotPlace.PNG|thumb]]<br />
Parking Lots are sparsely drawn, to prevent cluttering the map. The most important thing is that people can be routed to and from a parking lot. For small Parking Lots, a single road segment often suffices. For large Parking Lots (for example at an event center) consider mapping only the following:<br />
* Main entrances from the roads outside the parking lot<br />
* Lanes that run along entrances of buildings<br />
* Lanes that run along main roads outside the parking area (to separate different speed tracks)<br />
* Large parking lot lanes that serve to get people from one area of the lot to another<br />
Parking Lot Roads need to be defined as such in the menu pane left. They generate a large penalty to prevent thru-traffic in the navigation.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
A Parking Lot Road only gets the City defined, without a street name (check the "None" box), unless it's an official street. Never use generic names, like 'Parking Theater'. For detailed information, please read the page about [[Parking Lot Road|Parking Lot Roads]] in BeNeLux.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
For large Parking Lots that are distinctive and significant, and for general purpose and public use, a [[Parking Lot Place]] can be drawn. <br />
===Housenumbers===<br />
Since november 2014 it is possible to search for housenumbers in the Waze database. To support this functionality, Waze imported housenumber data from external sources, in multiple countries, like The Netherlands. This was not the case in Belgium or Luxemburg.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
When searching for an address in the [[Waze app]] or [[Live map]], Waze will use the following order to present the results:<br />
# Manually created housenumbers<br />
# Google Maps database<br />
# Imported housenumber data<br />
Imported housenumbers can be recognized for there is no editor linked to the housenumber in the housenumber screen. For the best working of Waze follow this guideline: if you notice a wrongly positioned address/housenumber in the app or livemap, add the housenumber or correct the housenumber in the Waze Map Editor. If the housenumber looks correct, but there is no editor linked to it yet, just give it a nudge and Save. Now you should see your name linked to the housenumber when you select it. See also our Wiki page on [[House numbers]].<br /><br />
<sub>Note: Be aware that, in the app, old search records should be removed to get an updated result.</sub><br />
<br />
==Solve Map Problems (MPs) and User Requests (URs)== <!--T:16--><br />
Solving [[File:Problem pin open-low.png|30px]] MPs and [[File:Request pin open-low.png|30px]] URs needs attention and often quite some knowledge. Unless you are sure about the problem (e.g., you are local and checked the situation), it is not advised to do this when you are a starter to WME. More information can be read in our [[Update request|Update requests]] and [[Map Problems]] pages, <br />
<br />
==Closing a street== <!--T:17--><br />
If you've knowledge of planned roadworks or you come across a a closed street, the best thing to do is request a [[Closures|closure]]. As a starting editor you're not yet able to set [[Closures|closures]] yourself. Requesting a closure can be done via the [[Slack]] closure channel. A closure is instantly active and is used for temporary blockades.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
Another way to prevent routing going through a street is by adding a [[Restrictions|restriction]]. Restrictions are used for blocking a street on specific days, times or blocking specific vehicle types. [[Restrictions]] are not meant for temporary situations, like roadworks or accidents. They are really part of the map. Restriction changes need a map update, so they will take probably one or two days to become active.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
<br />
==How to make a permalink== <!--T:18--><br />
The permalink icon [[File:Wme permalink icon.png|25px]] at the right bottom of your screen has two functions:<br />
* refresh the browser window, and<br />
* to create Permalinks to share and communicate with other editors.<br />
A <i>permalink</i> is a URL used to take you or someone else directly to a specific map location. It contains latitude, longitude, zoom level, visible layers, and optionally a junction or a place or one or more segments.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
To refresh the browser and "remember" the current editing window information, simply click on the permalink icon. Any unsaved edits will be lost, and the chat window will be cleared. The current map permalink will be copied to the address bar, and may be copied for sharing with other editors.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
To create a permalink without refreshing the browser, zoom and pan the map to show what you want to show. Next, hover the mouse over the [[File:Wme permalink icon.png|25px]] permalink icon on the right side of the bottom bar until a message pops up. Then use Ctrl+C to copy the permalink. You can paste this link anywhere you need it.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
To include a single place, junction, or segment in the permalink, click on it before using the permalink icon. To include several segments and/or objects, use ctrl+click (for MAC:⌘ Command+click).<br /><br />
<br />
==Use of external resources== <!--T:19--><br />
You, yourself have invaluable knowledge of your surroundings: this is the best free, up to date and reliable source to be used in editing the map. <br /><br />
<br /><br />
Besides your own eyes you can use<br />
* the <i>internal Streetview</i> that is available from the [[Waze Map Editor|WME]]. Drag the lens icon from above the zoom control bottom right to the point where you want to see the street view. Beware that the situation can be changed.<br />
* the <i>Satellite imagery</i>, to be enable / disabled via the layers menu. Waze uses aerial and satellite photography provided by Google.<br />
<br />
<!--T:20--><br />
But, be very careful using other, external sources for editing the map; some policies or conditions restrict the use or duplication of the data and could lead to a complete deletion of the country map. Read more on the [[Resources]] page.<br />
<br />
==Take the next step== <!--T:21--><br />
* The sequel to this <i>Quick-Start Guide</i> can be found in in the [[BeNeLux Advanced Guide]]<br />
* Helpfull tips and often encountered problems when starting editing are described in [[Improve your skills]].<br />
* Don't forget to join your [[Community|fellow Wazers]], who will be happy to meet you!<br /><br />

<br /><br />
'''Unpaved'''<br /><br />
Check the <i>Unpaved</i> attribute for any by regular car driveable road which is not paved.<br /><br />
The [[Waze app|app]] has a setting for using Unpaved roads. The default is "Don't allow". Other values are "Allow" and "Avoid long ones". <br /><br />
If a road is unpaved, only driveable by a 4x4 and really should be mapped, than - in this exceptional case - the [[Off-road]] road type may be used.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
'''Minimum segment length'''<br /><br />
A segment should not be shorter than 6 meters.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
'''Headlights required'''<br /><br />
The ''headlight warning'' is given each time in the [[Waze app|app]] when a route is started that passes a segment with ''Headlight required'' checked. This warning only makes sense in the few countries for which this warning was developed. Better leave this attribute unchecked.<br />
<br /><br />
<br />
<!--T:2--><br />
'''Average Speed Cameras'''<br /><br />
[[File:Average-speed-camera.png|right]] Check on all road segments where average speed cameras are operational the Average Speed Camera check boxes. If a ASC zone starts or ends in the middle of an existing (longer) segment, you may have to add a new node ([[Additional editing tips|by splitting the segment]]), to get the ASC notifications to start / end at the correct locations. If the start/end is approximately 20m from an existing node, this is not necessary.<br /><br />
If the cameras are already placed but not yet operational use [[Camera#False_Camera|dummy camera's]].<br /><br />
<br />
<!--T:5--><br />
<small>Currently , due to a bug, a <i>Average speed control</i> should always start at the A point of a segment. In case of a two way <i>average speed control</i> it may be necessary to split a segment in two parts, change the A and B points of the newly created segment with as result that from both ways the <i>average speed control</i> can be defined on a segment starting with an A point. The A-point triggers the warning message.</small><br /><br />

KISS is keeping the road geometry as simple as possible, without losing the essential driving instructions.<br /><br />
More info, see the [[KISS]] page.<br />
<br /><br />
===Filter lanes===<br />
[[File:Filter-lanes.png|right|440px]]<br />
Filter lanes are '''not''' mapped.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
Filter lanes don't fit the [[KISS]] principle because they are the cause of very complex situations that are hard to manage, while they don't add a lot of value in most routing instructions. Short segments and extra splits can have a negative influence on routing (extra penalty, incorrect average speeds, ...).<br /><br />
<br /><br />
Of course, there is always an exception. If the choice of a filter lane must be made more than 50 meter before coming to the crossing AND the main road and filter lane are divided by obstacles (concrete blocks, ...), it should be mapped.<br />
<br /><br />
===Ring roads===<br />
There are roads that could be classified by multiple street types. We think of ring roads (R-roads) which sometimes can also be a N-road categorized as [[Major Highway]]. For example, the ring road of Leuven, the R23, has long segments which are also N2 or N3. In these cases we categorize the ring road as [[Major Highway]].<br /><br />
<br /><br />
Ring roads which are also freeways, like the R0 of Brussels, are categorized as [[Freeway]].<br />
<br /><br />
===Roundabouts===<br />
If you want to add a Roundabout, you firstly draw the roads as a normal crossroad, but don't connect the roads/segments. Secondly you draw the Roundabout and [[Waze Map Editor|WME]] will connect the crossing roads automatically.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
A Roundabout must always get a city name but never a streetname. The reason for this has to do with the navigation instructions and road announcements. A Roundabout always gets categorized as the type of the passing through road.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
See the [[Roundabout]] page.<br />
{{Clear}}<br />
===Shopping streets===<br />
<i>Shopping streets</i> only allowed for pedestrians (and cyclists) with the exception of certain hours loading/unloading, are defined as [[Private road|Private Roads]].<br /><br />
{{Clear}}<br />
===Double left and double right===<br />
[[File:Median-u-turn.png|right|375px]] The Waze routing algorithm prevents double-left or double-right turns by using an extremely large U-turn penalty when these conditions are met: <br />
* Three segments: The U-turn is a reversal of driving direction through three segments: an incoming segment (A), a single median segment (B) and an outgoing segment (C).<br />
* Short median: The median segment (B) is shorter than or equal to 15 meters.<br />
* In/out parallelism: The in and out segments (A and C) are within ±5° of parallel to each other. If the median segment isn't straight calculate the degrees as if an imaginary straight segment was connectining the A and C segments.<br />
* Not all the A, B and C segments are [[Street]].<br />
<br /><br />
''Example / see picture:'' Driving from left to right on the top street (A) with destination towards the east requires a reversal of driving direction. When the median segment B (red arrow) is 15 meters or less the app will navigate over the lower street towards the east. Only if this median segment is 16 meters or more the app will navigate over the bigger road in the middle (C).<br /><br />

'''Unpaved'''<br /><br />
Check the <i>Unpaved</i> attribute for any by regular car driveable road which is not paved.<br /><br />
The [[Waze app|app]] has a setting for using Unpaved roads. The default is "Don't allow". Other values are "Allow" and "Avoid long ones". <br /><br />
If a road is unpaved, only driveable by a 4x4 and really should be mapped, than - in this exceptional case - the [[Off-road]] road type may be used.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
'''Minimum segment length'''<br /><br />
A segment should not be shorter than 6 meters.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
'''Headlights required'''<br /><br />
The ''headlight warning'' is given each time in the [[Waze app|app]] when a route is started that passes a segment with ''Headlight required'' checked. This warning only makes sense in the few countries for which this warning was developed. Better leave this attribute unchecked.<br />
<br /><br />
<br />
<!--T:2--><br />
'''Average Speed Cameras'''<br /><br />
[[File:Average-speed-camera.png|right]] Check on all road segments where average speed cameras are operational the Average Speed Camera check boxes. If a ASC zone starts or ends in the middle of an existing (longer) segment, you may have to add a new node ([[Additional editing tips|by splitting the segment]]), to get the ASC notifications to start / end at the correct locations. If the start/end is approximately 20m from an existing node, this is not necessary.<br /><br />
If the cameras are already placed but not yet operational use [[Camera#False_Camera|dummy camera's]].<br /><br />
<br />
<small>Currently , due to a bug, a <i>Average speed control</i> should always start at the A point of a segment. In case of a two way <i>average speed control</i> it may be necessary to split a segment in two parts, change the A and B points of the newly created segment with as result that from both ways the <i>average speed control</i> can be defined on a segment starting with an A point. The A-point triggers the warning message.</small><br /><br />

==Places== <!--T:1--><br />
<i>Places</i> are searchable destinations in the Waze map, just like the "Points of Interest" found in certain popular GPS devices. They can be added from the client, but also in the [[Waze Map Editor]]. Here you'll find the instructions on how to create a Place in the [[Waze Map Editor|WME]]. For a description of the different types of places see the [[Place categories]] page.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
A Place can be a <i>Point</i> or an <i>Area</i>. Above a given size <i>Area Places</i> become visible in the client. A <i>Point Place</i> is never visible, but both types can be searched and navigated to. There is also a third kind of Place called [[#Residential or Private Places|Residential]], which are private addresses. These are always Point Places.<br /><br />
===Point Places===<br />
Point Places don't show on the Wazers device. They can be used to help Wazers find locations, especially when they are not or wrongly listed in other destination search engines. As they are searchable from the [[Waze app|app]], accurate positioning of a point location and providing a full address (including [[house numbers|street number]]) are both utterly important.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
In the [[Waze Map Editor|WME]], a Point appears as a small circle:<br /><br />
[[File:Wme place.png]] Standard point<br /><br />
<br />
<!--T:2--><br />
[[File:Wme place selected.png]] Selected point<br /><br />
<br />
<!--T:3--><br />
[[File:Wme place changed.png]] Modified point<br /><br />
<br />
[[File:Wme place pending update.png]] Modified point, pending for approval<br /><br />
<br /><br />
The Waze routing server will navigate the Wazer onto the segment which is physically closest to where the <i>Point</i> is placed. <br /><br />
The Point Marker is the stop point. Typically, if the Place is inside a building, the marker should be located at or near the location's main entrance door. Try to imagine where you would stop to drop someone off for this location.<br />
===Area Places=== <!--T:4--><br />
<i>Area Places</i> appear in the [[Waze app]]. Too many of them can clutter the map, creating large gray zones that do not help Wazers orient themselves. Therefore, it is important to use <i>Area Places</i> only when they are distinctive and significant enough to orient drivers. Care should be taken not to snap to road segment nodes, because this makes it more difficult to edit the place and/or segments later on.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
[[Parking Lot Place|Parking Lots]] and [[Gas Station Place|Gas Stations]] should be drawn as areas, regardless of their size. All other places are generally drawn as a Point Place, except when they are large and distinctive enough to help in the orientation during driving. See also the paragraph on [[#When_to_use_Area_or_Point|how to determine Area or Point]].<br /><br />
<br /><br />
Generally, an <i>Area Place</i> only covers what a Wazer sees when driving to the actual location. It follows that the Area outline covers the building of the place, but never the whole property. However, an <i>Area Place</i> doesn't have to be as detailed as the building is, actually, it's better to keep the shape roughly. <br /><br />
Natural features such as forests, parks, and lakes are drawn to the visible contours.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
The different types of <i>Area Places</i> show in different colors in the [[Waze app|app]], as well as in [[Waze Map Editor|WME]]. The colors vary slightly, depending on your display. Generally, Natural features show green (e.g., Park) or blue (e.g., River).<br /><br />
[[File:WME BNL Area Place outline.jpg|thumb|Area Place for the Namur hospital, with the Point Marker at the entrance, and the Move Handle on the top right of the building]]<br />
<br /><br />
Each <i>Area Place</i> has a [[File:Wme place stop point.png]] “Point Marker“ , which by default is centered. This point can be moved to where you should arrive, or where to park, even a short distance outside of the marked area, indicated by the black outline (see picture). Again, try to imagine where you would stop to drop someone off for this location.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
If the Area itself needs to be modified, click on the place to select it. Use the geometry points to adjust the shape. To move an area place without changing its shape, drag the [[File:Wme place drag handle.png]] Move Handle icon.<br /><br />
<br />
===Residential or Private Places=== <!--T:5--><br />
When arriving, Waze proposes to take a picture of your destination. In this way, many private Places are uploaded to [[Waze Map Editor|WME]]. For these private Places, the category <i>residential</i> is used. Private Places will not be searchable, and the identity of whoever created them or attached pictures, will not be exposed. Private Places only contain photos and an exact address, without all the other properties of a Place. The pictures will only show to people driving explicitly to that address. Waze editors will be using the pictures and exact locations to improve the [[house numbers]] database.<br />
<br />
<!--T:6--><br />
[[File:WME Places convertresidential.jpg|thumb]] Public Places can be turned into private Places, but private Places cannot be turned into public Places. Use the link located under the buttons for Point or Area in the menu, to convert Places mistakenly labeled as public into private.<br /><br />
More on this topic see the [[Residential Place]] page.<br />
<br />
===Combined Places=== <!--T:7--><br />
[[File:Wme places mall area with points.png|thumb|Point Places within an Area Place]] Point Places within an Area Place are allowed and mostly used for shops in a shopping mall, faculties within a University campus, etc.. Avoid Areas within Areas, as this may become confusing on the client's display.<br />
<br />
==When to use Area or Point== <!--T:8--><br />
[[Parking Lot Place|Parking Lots]] and [[Gas Station Place|Gas Stations]] are always drawn as Area Place. Most other places are generally drawn as a Point Place, except when they are large and distinctive enough to help in the orientation during driving, which will often be the case with an Event Center, Factory, Hospital, Office, Camping, Shopping malls, Museums (e.g.,Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam), Monuments (e.g., Mardasson, Bastogne), Schools, Tourist Site, Attraction, Sports Court or Stadium and natural features. They are mapped as areas at the (building) outline and usually don't cover streets. <br /><br />
<br />
<!--T:17--><br />
The [[Place categories|table of categories]] also gives a guideline to choose between point and area places, according to their category, sub-category and probable area size.<br /><br />
<br />
==Places details== <!--T:9--><br />
Any Place - Point or Area - should contain as much information as possible. <br />
<br />
===General tab=== <!--T:10--><br />
The General tab for a <i>Place</i> is where you complete all of the basic information: categories, name, description, gas brand, residential/public, hours of operation, country, state, city, street and house number.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
'''Category'''<br />
: Places need at least one <i>category</i> to be assigned, but may belong to several others. Always choose the main category first. For example, a Gas Station may also be “Convenience Store”, “Car Wash”, or “Charging Station”. For a more detailed explanation of categories, see the [[Place categories]] page.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
'''Name and address'''<br />
:If possible, provide <i>name</i> and <i>address</i>. The naming of a Place should be done in the formal language of the location where the place is situated. Use the official name of the Place. In bi-lingual areas, use the alternate name. The address is especially useful to guide Wazers to the Place. Add other important information, such as brand (service stations) and opening times.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
'''Description'''<br />
: Beware not to use the <i>Description</i> field for notes to other editors. This field is visible in the Waze app, and should only contain details pertinent to the Place itself.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
'''Entry / exit points'''<br />
: Add, if necessary, <i>Entry / exit points</i> so Waze is able to navigate you to the right side of the place.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
'''External providers'''<br />
: Waze allows you to connect to POI from <i>external providers</i>. One of the providers is <i>Google Maps</i>. When a Place is linked, drivers can select any destination from search results in the app, whether the result is from Waze or Google, it will always lead you to the navigation stop point from Waze.<br />
<br />
: If there are more than one places defined for one POI, link the <i>external provider</i> to the most important one. Example: Underground station with more than one entrance defined, use the main entrance.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
In the picture below you see an example from the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
[[File:Place-rijksmuseum-amsterdam.png|750px]]<br />
<br /><br />
===More Info tab=== <!--T:11--><br />
You can provide the website address and phone number in the “More Info” tab, where you can also select optional services, like Wifi, Toilets, Terrace or Parking for customers (not to be drawn separately!). Information in this tab are shown in the search results. From there you can click the website address or telephone number and activate your browser or phone function. Therefore, they should be in a usable format:<br /><br />
<br /><br />
[[File:WME Places searchresults EN.png|230px|thumb]]<br />
'''Website'''<br />
: The website address is best written as www.address.extension, like www.casca.nl. Leave out http:// or https://.<br />
: If the website is multilingual and a choice has to be made, if possible default to English.<br />
<br /><br />
'''Telephone'''<br />
: Telephone numbers should best be written in international format: Generally, the number consists of the land code, followed by the area code (without 0), and than the subscribers number, all without dashes, slashes, brackets and the like. Formatting spaces are allowed but not necessary.<br />
:'''Belgium''': <br />
::+32 AA BB BB BB, or +32 A BBB BB BB for landlines, <br />
::+32 4AA BB BB BB or +32 4AA BBB BBB for mobile numbers<br />
:'''Netherlands''': <br />
::+31 AA BBBBBBBB, or +31 AAA BBBBBBB for landlines, <br />
::+31 6 CBBBBBBB for mobile numbers<br />
:'''Luxembourg''':<br />
::+352 local number (varies in amount of numbers and areas)<br />
<br /><br />
<br />
<!--T:18--><br />
'''Opening hours'''<br />
:Add if possible the opening hours.<br />
<br />
===Photos tab=== <!--T:12--><br />
Any photos which drivers have added to a Place will appear in the "Photos" tab. In [[Waze Map Editor|WME]], we can only view and delete photos. Photos can only be uploaded via the Waze app, via a [[Place update request|PUR]]. Make a well thought-out decision about discarding a photo. Once a photo is deleted, it cannot be recovered. Delete only if the photo really is unclear, not helpful and/or inappropriate. For more guidelines on accepting or discarding photo's see the global Wiki page paragraph [https://wazeopedia.waze.com/wiki/Global/Places#Place_Updates_.28Moderation.29 Place Updates (Moderation)].<br />
<br />
==Lock Levels== <!--T:13--><br />
Please consider that places that are fundamental to the functioning of Waze, such as [[Parking Lot Place|Parking Lots]], should be locked at least to Level '''2''' (or higher), to prevent loss of data due to automatic acceptance of submissions. See also the page on [[Place categories]].<br />
<br />
==Aspects== <!--T:14--><br />
* [[Place update request]]<br />
* [[Flagged place]]<br />
* [https://support.google.com/waze/answer/7402261?hl=en Misplaced ad pins form] is intended for reporting issues with advertised places that are wrongly placed on the map. Requests of <b>L4</b> editors are automatically approved by Waze.<br />

: Places need at least one <i>category</i> to be assigned, but may belong to several others. Always choose the main category first. For example, a Gas Station may also be “Convenience Store”, “Car Wash”, or “Charging Station”. For a more detailed explanation of categories, see the [[Place categories]] page.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
'''Name and address'''<br />
:If possible, provide <i>name</i> and <i>address</i>. The naming of a Place should be done in the formal language of the location where the place is situated. Use the official name of the Place. In bi-lingual areas, use the alternate name. The address is especially useful to guide Wazers to the Place. Add other important information, such as brand (service stations) and opening times.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
'''Description'''<br />
: Beware not to use the <i>Description</i> field for notes to other editors. This field is visible in the Waze app, and should only contain details pertinent to the Place itself.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
'''Entry / exit points'''<br />
: Add, if necessary, <i>Entry / exit points</i> so Waze is able to navigate you to the right side of the place.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
'''External providers'''<br />
: Waze allows you to connect to POI from <i>external providers</i>. One of the providers is <i>Google Maps</i>. When a Place is linked, drivers can select any destination from search results in the app, whether the result is from Waze or Google, it will always lead you to the navigation stop point from Waze.<br />
<br />
: If there are more than one places defined for one POI, link the <i>external provider</i> to the most important one. Example: Underground station with more than one entrance defined, use the main entrance.<br /><br />
<br /><br />

<br /><br />
===More Info tab=== <!--T:11--><br />
You can provide the website address and phone number in the “More Info” tab, where you can also select optional services, like Wifi, Toilets, Terrace or Parking for customers (not to be drawn separately!). Information in this tab are shown in the search results. From there you can click the website address or telephone number and activate your browser or phone function. Therefore, they should be in a usable format:<br /><br />
<br /><br />
[[File:WME Places searchresults EN.png|230px|thumb]]<br />
'''Website'''<br />
: The website address is best written as www.address.extension, like www.casca.nl. Leave out http:// or https://.<br />
: If the website is multilingual and a choice has to be made, if possible default to English.<br />
<br /><br />
'''Telephone'''<br />
: Telephone numbers should best be written in international format: Generally, the number consists of the land code, followed by the area code (without 0), and than the subscribers number, all without dashes, slashes, and the like.<br />
:'''Belgium''': <br />
::+32 AA BB BB BB, or +32 A BBB BB BB for landlines, <br />
::+32 4AA BB BB BB or +32 4AA BBB BBB for mobile numbers<br />
:'''Netherlands''': <br />
::+31 AA BBBBBBBB, or +31 AAA BBBBBBB for landlines, <br />

<br /><br />
<br />
<!--T:18--><br />
'''Opening hours'''<br />
:Add if possible the opening hours.<br />
<br />
===Photos tab=== <!--T:12--><br />
Any photos which drivers have added to a Place will appear in the "Photos" tab. In [[Waze Map Editor|WME]], we can only view and delete photos. Photos can only be uploaded via the Waze app, via a [[Place update request|PUR]]. Make a well thought-out decision about discarding a photo. Once a photo is deleted, it cannot be recovered. Delete only if the photo really is unclear, not helpful and/or inappropriate.

==Places== <!--T:1--><br />
<i>Places</i> are searchable destinations in the Waze map, just like the "Points of Interest" found in certain popular GPS devices. They can be added from the client, but also in the [[Waze Map Editor]]. Here you'll find the instructions on how to create a Place in the [[Waze Map Editor|WME]]. For a description of the different types of places see the [[Place categories]] page.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
A Place can be a <i>Point</i> or an <i>Area</i>. Above a given size <i>Area Places</i> become visible in the client. A <i>Point Place</i> is never visible, but both types can be searched and navigated to. There is also a third kind of Place called [[#Residential or Private Places|Residential]], which are private addresses. These are always Point Places.<br /><br />
===Point Places===<br />
Point Places don't show on the Wazers device. They can be used to help Wazers find locations, especially when they are not or wrongly listed in other destination search engines. As they are searchable from the [[Waze app|app]], accurate positioning of a point location and providing a full address (including [[house numbers|street number]]) are both utterly important.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
In the [[Waze Map Editor|WME]], a Point appears as a small circle:<br /><br />
[[File:Wme place.png]] Standard point<br /><br />
<br />
<!--T:2--><br />
[[File:Wme place selected.png]] Selected point<br /><br />
<br />
<!--T:3--><br />
[[File:Wme place changed.png]] Modified point<br /><br />
<br />
[[File:Wme place pending update.png]] Modified point, pending for approval<br /><br />
<br /><br />
The Waze routing server will navigate the Wazer onto the segment which is physically closest to where the <i>Point</i> is placed. <br /><br />
The Point Marker is the stop point. Typically, if the Place is inside a building, the marker should be located at or near the location's main entrance door. Try to imagine where you would stop to drop someone off for this location.<br />
===Area Places=== <!--T:4--><br />
<i>Area Places</i> appear in the [[Waze app]]. Too many of them can clutter the map, creating large gray zones that do not help Wazers orient themselves. Therefore, it is important to use <i>Area Places</i> only when they are distinctive and significant enough to orient drivers. Care should be taken not to snap to road segment nodes, because this makes it more difficult to edit the place and/or segments later on.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
[[Parking Lot Place|Parking Lots]] and [[Gas Station Place|Gas Stations]] should be drawn as areas, regardless of their size. All other places are generally drawn as a Point Place, except when they are large and distinctive enough to help in the orientation during driving. See also the paragraph on [[#When_to_use_Area_or_Point|how to determine Area or Point]].<br /><br />
<br /><br />
Generally, an <i>Area Place</i> only covers what a Wazer sees when driving to the actual location. It follows that the Area outline covers the building of the place, but never the whole property. However, an <i>Area Place</i> doesn't have to be as detailed as the building is, actually, it's better to keep the shape roughly. <br /><br />
Natural features such as forests, parks, and lakes are drawn to the visible contours.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
The different types of <i>Area Places</i> show in different colors in the [[Waze app|app]], as well as in [[Waze Map Editor|WME]]. The colors vary slightly, depending on your display. Generally, Natural features show green (e.g., Park) or blue (e.g., River).<br /><br />
[[File:WME BNL Area Place outline.jpg|thumb|Area Place for the Namur hospital, with the Point Marker at the entrance, and the Move Handle on the top right of the building]]<br />
<br /><br />
Each <i>Area Place</i> has a [[File:Wme place stop point.png]] “Point Marker“ , which by default is centered. This point can be moved to where you should arrive, or where to park, even a short distance outside of the marked area, indicated by the black outline (see picture). Again, try to imagine where you would stop to drop someone off for this location.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
If the Area itself needs to be modified, click on the place to select it. Use the geometry points to adjust the shape. To move an area place without changing its shape, drag the [[File:Wme place drag handle.png]] Move Handle icon.<br /><br />
<br />
===Residential or Private Places=== <!--T:5--><br />
When arriving, Waze proposes to take a picture of your destination. In this way, many private Places are uploaded to [[Waze Map Editor|WME]]. For these private Places, the category <i>residential</i> is used. Private Places will not be searchable, and the identity of whoever created them or attached pictures, will not be exposed. Private Places only contain photos and an exact address, without all the other properties of a Place. The pictures will only show to people driving explicitly to that address. Waze editors will be using the pictures and exact locations to improve the [[house numbers]] database.<br />
<br />
<!--T:6--><br />
[[File:WME Places convertresidential.jpg|thumb]] Public Places can be turned into private Places, but private Places cannot be turned into public Places. Use the link located under the buttons for Point or Area in the menu, to convert Places mistakenly labeled as public into private.<br /><br />
More on this topic see the [[Residential Place]] page.<br />
<br />
===Combined Places=== <!--T:7--><br />
[[File:Wme places mall area with points.png|thumb|Point Places within an Area Place]] Point Places within an Area Place are allowed and mostly used for shops in a shopping mall, faculties within a University campus, etc.. Avoid Areas within Areas, as this may become confusing on the client's display.<br />
<br />
==When to use Area or Point== <!--T:8--><br />
[[Parking Lot Place|Parking Lots]] and [[Gas Station Place|Gas Stations]] are always drawn as Area Place. Most other places are generally drawn as a Point Place, except when they are large and distinctive enough to help in the orientation during driving, which will often be the case with an Event Center, Factory, Hospital, Office, Camping, Shopping malls, Museums (e.g.,Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam), Monuments (e.g., Mardasson, Bastogne), Schools, Tourist Site, Attraction, Sports Court or Stadium and natural features. They are mapped as areas at the (building) outline and usually don't cover streets. <br /><br />
<br />
<!--T:17--><br />
The [[Place categories|table of categories]] also gives a guideline to choose between point and area places, according to their category, sub-category and probable area size.<br /><br />
<br />
==Places details== <!--T:9--><br />
Any Place - Point or Area - should contain as much information as possible. <br />
<br />
===General tab=== <!--T:10--><br />
The General tab for a <i>Place</i> is where you complete all of the basic information: categories, name, description, gas brand, residential/public, hours of operation, country, state, city, street and house number.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
'''Category'''<br />

==Major Traffic Events== <!--T:1--><br />
Major Traffic Events, or MTE’s are large-scale events that have associated road [[Closures|closures]]. MTE’s can be sport events (marathons, triathlons, etc), festivals, parades, significant construction works or even (natural) disasters like flooding (ex: Closure of freeways or important tunnels), VIP visits, etc. <br /><br />
<br /><br />
Reporting MTE’s ensures your local community is informed about closures and congestion due to relevant events nearby.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
Note to Editors:<br />
* To submit a MTE you need to have permission to add road closures (level 3 or better) or work together with an editor that has that permission. In this phase of the tool, you will be able to create events and upload closures through the WME. A website page is automatically created: [https://www.waze.com/nl/events/ https://www.waze.com/nl/events/].<br />
* The automatic push message to Wazers affected by the MTE should work as well.<br />
<br /><br />
===Create an event===<br />
All MTE’s have to be submitted at least 48hours before start of the event. This will give Waze HQ appropriate time to arrange for the push- message. Editing of the MTE-closures is still possible after submitting but having all closures attached to the MTE is crucial for the push message.<br />
<br /><br />
[[File:Create-event.png|right|300px]]<br />
# Open the [[Waze Map Editor|WME]]<br />
# Click the mode selection button next to the search bar<br />
# Select '''Event Mode'''<br />
# Create a new event by clicking [[File:Add-event.png]]. You will be presented with the displayed panel.<br />
# Add event name in English (mandatory) - the event name should be as short as possible while accurately representing the event. There is a 25 character limit.<br />
# Add secondary event name in local language (optional) - the event name should be as short as possible while accurately representing the event.<br />
# Fill in details of the event. Note: Allow for the preparation-, build-up- as well as after-event break-up time. All closures need to be within the general event start and end time. Once submitted you cannot change the general MTE start and end time. Closures that start earlier or end later than the general MTE start and end time cannot become part of the event. <br />
# Make sure to Save!<br />
<br /><br />
<br />
===Create event closures=== <!--T:2--><br />
# You must be in '''default mode''' to add closures to an event. You can only create and edit events in events mode. All adding/editing/manipulating of other features must be in default mode.<br />
# Create closures as you normally would, but instead of leaving the event as “none”, you should see your event name in the drop down menu: It is necessary that the closure is among the event duration times.<br />
# Save your closures. They will now be visible on the closures tab of the event in the event editor:<br />
# Once the closures are attached to the event, go back to the event in event mode and mark it ''Submit''. Save! This step should be done no later than 48hours prior to the start of the event. 1)<br />
<br />
<!--T:3--><br />
<small>1) ''Submit'' means that the closures for the event are done and associated with the event. Once this is marked, a website will be automatically generated.</small><br /><br />
<br /><br />
Next steps: <br /><br />
Once your event is marked as “Submitted”, someone from the Waze closures team will review the event and decide whether to send a push message for it. <br />
<br />
===Events in the App=== <!--T:5--><br />
If you come within fifty meters range of an active <i>event</i> a MTE card pops up in the [[Waze app|App]] to warn you. So, even if roads are not fully closed it makes sense to define some (dummy) [[Closures|closures]] for an event. The <i>event area</i> is defined by the outer points of the related closed segments.<br />

==Update Requests== <!--T:1--><br />
The global [https://wazeopedia.waze.com/wiki/Global/Update_Requests_in_Waze_Map_Editor Wiki page on Update Requests] contains an extensive description of all aspects of the User Request. This page describes the BeNeLux approach.<br />
<br /><br />
[[File:UR-request-pop-up.png|right]] Update requests (UR) are submitted by [[Waze app|app]] users to report issues with the routing or the map. An icon with the small Waze icon [[File:Request_pin_open-low.png|20px]] is added to the editing map in the Update Requests [[Waze_Map_Editor#Layers_menu|layer]]. The reporters name is not displayed. Clicking on the UR icon a panel with the UR details is displayed. The UR is of a certain type, has a date time displayed. Sometimes the ''Waze provided route'' and/or the ''User drive'' are available plus some words from the reporter.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
'''Conversation'''<br /><br />
The conversation start with your first response, often asking for information. When the reporter doesn't react a friendly reminder should be send. After two reminders the UR can be closed with '''Mark as not identified'''. In case the reporter replies on your response the problem might be solved. Perhaps an explanation is sufficient, sometimes the map should be corrected. If the problem is fixed the UR can be closed with '''Mark as closed'''.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
'''First reply:'''<br />
* Thank user for reporting the issue.<br />
* Give streetname/area so the reporter knows about the location (could make a difference in case of multiple reports on that day by this reporter).<br />
* If your reply is not on the date of the UR itself give an indication of the day and time.<br />
* Ask for more information necessary to solve this UR.<br />
* Indicate that they cannot answer directly by email because of the no-reply@waze.com address used. You could include an email address of your own allowing the reporter to answer by email replacing the no-reply@waze.com address with yours.<br />
* Sign off with your name.<br />
<br /><br />
'''Procedure'''<br />
* First reply '''>''' First reminder after 3 days '''>''' Optional second reminder 3 days later '''>''' Mark as Not identified [[File:UR-mark-as-not-identified.png|85px]] 3 days later.<br />
* React on reporter's answers untill a conclusion is reached '''>''' Mark as Solved [[File:UR-mark-as-solved.png|85px]] 3 days later to give the reporter the opportunity to give a last reaction. <br />
<br /><br />
'''Etiquette'''<br /><br />
When you respond to user reports, you are interacting with the original reporter, and you may also be interacting with other Waze editors who respond to the same request. The first responding editor has no absolute ownership of the problem solution. Other editors should not step in, other than to send a next reminder to the reporter, or unless they think the owner needs help (whether the owner realizes it or not), or the first reporting editor has abandoned/lost track of the report over time.<br /><br />
* Always react friendly, helpful.<br />
* Don't use jargon<br />
* Keep your reactions short and to the point.<br />
<br />
<div style="clear: both"></div><br />
===Example Turn not allowed=== <!--T:2--><br />
[[File:UR-turn-not-allowed-example-1.png|left|200px]] The report indicates “Turn not allowed”. <br /><br />
<br /><br />
Looking at the green line (=GPS track driven by user in reality), a turn was made at the end of the road where the purple line (Waze route) starts.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
If there are no obvious reason’s to be found (like red [[Junction Arrows|Turn Restrictions]], or unconnected roads) you will have to investigate further and probably need the help of the user.<br />
In this case the reason is unclear so we will try to get in contact with the reporter using the Conversation Box asking for more information.<br /><br />
<br />

===Example Address unknown=== <!--T:5--><br />
[[File:UR-incorrect-address-1.png|left|200px]]<br />
The report indicates “Incorrect address”: Wolwevershaven 19 Dordrecht.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
The report is made on the junction Vlak and Nieuwe Haven. The Wolwevershaven is northwest of the water. Bij Checking the address, [[House numbers|house number]] is halfway the quay, approximately 200 meter further. <br /><br />

After checking the address on the Waze map and in the land register ([[BAG]]) the location of the house number in Waze proves to be right. So the report proves to be incorrect.<br /><br />

As a general rule we don't map private accesses to houses, farms or other buildings.

[[Road types|Road type]] accessible by car but not allowed to access by everybody.<br /><br />
Some examples:<br />
* Closed company areas with more than one entrance<br />
* Roads only allowed for local traffic<br />
* Tow path<br />

* City center or other, like a promenade, where only can be driven at certain times.<br />
<br /><br />
As a general rule we don't map private accesses to houses, farms or other buildings. But, on locations where relative much cars have a short stop, think of loading/unloading, you can consider drawing a <i>Private road</i> from the main segment to the address, to prevent the negative influence on average speed of the main segment. Consult the [[GPS|GPS-tracks]].<br /><br />

<br />
==Places== <!--T:1--><br />
<i>Places</i> are searchable destinations in the Waze map, just like the "Points of Interest" found in certain popular GPS devices. They can be added from the client, but also in the [[Waze Map Editor]]. Here you'll find the instructions on how to create a Place in the [[Waze Map Editor|WME]]. For a description of the different types of places see the [[Place categories]] page.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
A Place can be a <i>Point</i> or an <i>Area</i>. Above a given size <i>Area Places</i> become visible in the client. A <i>Point Place</i> is never visible, but both types can be searched and navigated to. There is also a third kind of Place called [[#Residential or Private Places|Residential]], which are private addresses. These are always Point Places.<br /><br />
===Point Places===<br />
Point Places don't show on the Wazers device. They can be used to help Wazers find locations, especially when they are not or wrongly listed in other destination search engines. As they are searchable from the [[Waze app|app]], accurate positioning of a point location and providing a full address (including [[house numbers|street number]]) are both utterly important.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
In the [[Waze Map Editor|WME]], a Point appears as a small circle:<br /><br />
[[File:Wme place.png]] Standard point<br /><br />
<br />
<!--T:2--><br />
[[File:Wme place selected.png]] Selected point<br /><br />
<br />
<!--T:3--><br />
[[File:Wme place changed.png]] Modified point<br /><br />
<br />
[[File:Wme place pending update.png]] Modified point, pending for approval<br /><br />
<br /><br />
The Waze routing server will navigate the Wazer onto the segment which is physically closest to where the <i>Point</i> is placed. <br /><br />
The Point Marker is the stop point. Typically, if the Place is inside a building, the marker should be located at or near the location's main entrance door. Try to imagine where you would stop to drop someone off for this location.<br />
===Area Places=== <!--T:4--><br />
<i>Area Places</i> appear in the [[Waze app]]. Too many of them can clutter the map, creating large gray zones that do not help Wazers orient themselves. Therefore, it is important to use <i>Area Places</i> only when they are distinctive and significant enough to orient drivers. Care should be taken not to snap to road segment nodes, because this makes it more difficult to edit the place and/or segments later on.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
[[Parking Lot Place|Parking Lots]] and [[Gas Station Place|Gas Stations]] should be drawn as areas, regardless of their size. All other places are generally drawn as a Point Place, except when they are large and distinctive enough to help in the orientation during driving. See also the paragraph on [[#When_to_use_Area_or_Point|how to determine Area or Point]].<br /><br />
<br /><br />
Generally, an <i>Area Place</i> only covers what a Wazer sees when driving to the actual location. It follows that the Area outline covers the building of the place, but never the whole property. However, an <i>Area Place</i> doesn't have to be as detailed as the building is, actually, it's better to keep the shape roughly. <br /><br />
Natural features such as forests, parks, and lakes are drawn to the visible contours.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
The different types of <i>Area Places</i> show in different colors in the [[Waze app|app]], as well as in [[Waze Map Editor|WME]]. The colors vary slightly, depending on your display. Generally, Natural features show green (e.g., Park) or blue (e.g., River).<br /><br />
[[File:WME BNL Area Place outline.jpg|thumb|Area Place for the Namur hospital, with the Point Marker at the entrance, and the Move Handle on the top right of the building]]<br />
<br /><br />
Each <i>Area Place</i> has a [[File:Wme place stop point.png]] “Point Marker“ , which by default is centered. This point can be moved to where you should arrive, or where to park, even a short distance outside of the marked area, indicated by the black outline (see picture). Again, try to imagine where you would stop to drop someone off for this location.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
If the Area itself needs to be modified, click on the place to select it. Use the geometry points to adjust the shape. To move an area place without changing its shape, drag the [[File:Wme place drag handle.png]] Move Handle icon.<br /><br />
<br />
===Residential or Private Places=== <!--T:5--><br />
When arriving, Waze proposes to take a picture of your destination. In this way, many private Places are uploaded to [[Waze Map Editor|WME]]. For these private Places, the category <i>residential</i> is used. Private Places will not be searchable, and the identity of whoever created them or attached pictures, will not be exposed. Private Places only contain photos and an exact address, without all the other properties of a Place. The pictures will only show to people driving explicitly to that address. Waze editors will be using the pictures and exact locations to improve the [[house numbers]] database.<br />
<br />
<!--T:6--><br />
[[File:WME Places convertresidential.jpg|thumb]] Public Places can be turned into private Places, but private Places cannot be turned into public Places. Use the link located under the buttons for Point or Area in the menu, to convert Places mistakenly labeled as public into private.<br /><br />
More on this topic see the [[Residential Place]] page.<br />
<br />
===Combined Places=== <!--T:7--><br />
[[File:Wme places mall area with points.png|thumb|Point Places within an Area Place]] Point Places within an Area Place are allowed and mostly used for shops in a shopping mall, faculties within a University campus, etc.. Avoid Areas within Areas, as this may become confusing on the client's display.<br />
<br />
==When to use Area or Point== <!--T:8--><br />
[[Parking Lot Place|Parking Lots]] and [[Gas Station Place|Gas Stations]] are always drawn as Area Place. Most other places are generally drawn as a Point Place, except when they are large and distinctive enough to help in the orientation during driving, which will often be the case with an Event Center, Factory, Hospital, Office, Camping, Shopping malls, Museums (e.g.,Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam), Monuments (e.g., Mardasson, Bastogne), Schools, Tourist Site, Attraction, Sports Court or Stadium and natural features. They are mapped as areas at the (building) outline and usually don't cover streets. <br /><br />
<br />
<!--T:17--><br />
The [[Place categories|table of categories]] also gives a guideline to choose between point and area places, according to their category, sub-category and probable area size.<br /><br />
<br />
==Places details== <!--T:9--><br />
Any Place - Point or Area - should contain as much information as possible. <br />
<br />
===General tab=== <!--T:10--><br />
The General tab for a <i>Place</i> is where you complete all of the basic information: categories, name, description, gas brand, residential/public, hours of operation, country, state, city, street and house number.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
'''Category'''<br />
: Places need at least one <i>category</i> to be assigned, but may belong to several others. Always choose the main category first. For example, a Gas Station may also be “Convenience Store”, “Car Wash”, or “Charging Station”. For a more detailed explanation of categories, see the [[Place categories]] page.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
'''Name and address'''<br />
:If possible, provide <i>name</i> and <i>address</i>. The naming of a Place should be done in the formal language of the location where the place is situated. Use the official name of the Place. In bi-lingual areas, use the alternate name. The address is especially useful to guide Wazers to the Place. Add other important information, such as brand (service stations) and opening times.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
'''Description'''<br />
: Beware not to use the <i>Description</i> field for notes to other editors. This field is visible in the Waze app, and should only contain details pertinent to the Place itself.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
'''Entry / exit points'''<br />
: Add, if necessary, <i>Entry / exit points</i> so Waze is able to navigate you to the right side of the place.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
'''External providers'''<br />
: Waze allows you to connect to POI from <i>external providers</i>. One of the providers is <i>Google Maps</i>. When a Place is linked, drivers can select any destination from search results in the app, whether the result is from Waze or Google, it will always lead you to the navigation stop point from Waze.<br />
<br />
: If there are more than one places defined for one POI, link the <i>external provider</i> to the most important one. Example: Underground station with more than one entrance defined, use the main entrance.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
In the picture below you see an example from the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
[[File:Place-rijksmuseum-amsterdam.png|750px]]<br />
<br /><br />
===More Info tab=== <!--T:11--><br />
You can provide the website address and phone number in the “More Info” tab, where you can also select optional services, like Wifi, Toilets, Terrace or Parking for customers (not to be drawn separately!). Information in this tab are shown in the search results. From there you can click the website address or telephone number and activate your browser or phone function. Therefore, they should be in a usable format:<br /><br />
<br /><br />
[[File:WME Places searchresults EN.png|230px|thumb]]<br />
'''Website'''<br />
: The website address is best written as www.address.extension, like www.casca.nl. Leave out http:// or https://.<br />
: If the website is multilingual and a choice has to be made, if possible default to English.<br />
<br /><br />
'''Telephone'''<br />
: Telephone numbers should best be written in international format: Generally, the number consists of the land code, followed by the area code (without 0), and than the subscribers number, all without dashes, slashes, and the like.<br />
:'''Belgium''': <br />
::+32 AA BB BB BB, or +32 A BBB BB BB for landlines, <br />
::+32 4AA BB BB BB or +32 4AA BBB BBB for mobile numbers<br />
:'''Netherlands''': <br />
::+31 AA BBBBBBBB, or +31 AAA BBBBBBB for landlines, <br />
::+31 6 CBBBBBBB for mobile numbers<br />
:'''Luxembourg''':<br />
::+352 local number (varies in amount of numbers and areas)<br />
<br /><br />
'''Opening hours'''<br />
:Add if possible the opening hours.<br />
<br />
===Photos tab=== <!--T:12--><br />
Any photos which drivers have added to a Place will appear in the "Photos" tab. In [[Waze Map Editor|WME]], we can only view and delete photos. Photos can only be uploaded via the Waze app, via a [[Place update request|PUR]]. Make a well thought-out decision about discarding a photo. Once a photo is deleted, it cannot be recovered. Delete only if the photo really is unclear, not helpful and/or inappropriate. For more guidelines on accepting or discarding photo's see the global Wiki page paragraph [https://wazeopedia.waze.com/wiki/Global/Places#Place_Updates_.28Moderation.29 Place Updates (Moderation)].<br />
<br />
==Lock Levels== <!--T:13--><br />
Please consider that places that are fundamental to the functioning of Waze, such as [[Parking Lot Place|Parking Lots]], should be locked at least to Level '''2''' (or higher), to prevent loss of data due to automatic acceptance of submissions. See also the page on [[Place categories]].<br />
<br />
==Aspects== <!--T:14--><br />
* [[Place update request]]<br />
* [[Flagged place]]<br />
* [https://support.google.com/waze/answer/7402261?hl=en Misplaced ad pins form] is intended for reporting issues with advertised places that are wrongly placed on the map. Requests of <b>L4</b> editors are automatically approved by Waze.<br />

==Welcome editor!== <!--T:1--><br />
This page provides the basics to start editing the Waze Map. Because Waze is a navigation tool and not a topographic map, some things are drawn differently than expected. Our advice is, after reading this page, to choose one type of edit and first familiarize yourself with all aspects of that edit. Otherwise, you might as well get overfed with information. Don't forget to join [[Slack]], our primary communication platform. Your [[community]] is happy to help you make your edits work.<br />
==How to get to the Waze Map Editor (WME)==<br />
# Log in to www.waze.com. If prompted to login, use the same username and password as you do on the Waze client app and the rest of the Waze website.<br />
# Search for your location<br />
# Click [[Live map|<i>live map</i>]]<br />
# Click <i>edit the map</i><br />
Or, go directly to www.waze.com/editor/?env=row.<br /><br />
After logging in, you will see the following page:<br />
<br />
<!--T:2--><br />
[[File:Wme whole window blank.jpg|720px]]<br />
<br />
<!--T:3--><br />
If you want to learn more about the controls and functions of [[Waze Map Editor|WME]], you can find more details on the global wiki [https://wazeopedia.waze.com/wiki/Global/Map_Editor_Interface_and_Controls WME Interface and Controls] page.<br />
<br />
==Start in Practice Mode== <!--T:4--><br />
[[File:Wme-practise-mode.png|450px|right]]<br />
Before editing the map for real, you may first want to practice editing. Go to the [https://www.waze.com/editor/?env=row WME server] and choose Practice Mode. If you are already logged into [[Waze Map Editor|WME]], log out first to be able to enter Practice Mode.<br />
The [[Waze Map Editor]] has a Practice mode in which you can perform nearly every action available when logged into the Editor, except that you cannot save any changes. In order to save changes, you must log in. Practice mode is helpful to new and existing editors and should be used to try out new or complicated edits before executing them.<br />
More information can be found on the global [https://wazeopedia.waze.com/wiki/Global/Waze_Map_Editor#Practice_Mode Practice Mode] page.<br /><br />
<br />
==Editing the map== <!--T:5--><br />
Most starting editors at first try to match the map of Waze perfectly to the satellite image. They split roads, add bicycle paths and walking trails, make the roads very fluently and draw detailed places. However, Waze is ''NOT'' a topografical map, but a navigation system that routes you to your destination in the best/fastest way. Therefore, keep the Waze map simple: The lesser the detail, the clearer the map, lesser data use, faster calculations, and easier maintainance. With that in mind, let's start editing the map!<br />
===Create a Road===<br />
# Hover the mouse over the [[File:DrawRoads.jpg|25px]] button on the toolbar at the top of the page and click "Road" ([https://wazeopedia.waze.com/wiki/Global/Keyboard_shortcuts Shortcut key]]: i; Roundabouts are explained [[#Create a roundabout|below]])<br />
# Click the mouse on the map at the point where you want to start the new road segment.<br />
# Move the mouse cursor along the path of the road and click the mouse to add a [[#Changing elements on the map|geometry node]] for each point that changes direction along the road.<br />
# When finished, double-click (or shift-click) the last point to end the segment.<br />
# Select the segment again, and fill in the details of the segment in the menu pane on the left.<br />
* Each segment that is added must have a Country, City, and Street name, under the "Edit" link left. If there is no City and/or Street name available, then the "None" box(es) must be selected. As long as no City / Street name are specified you will see in the editor a red outline around the segment.<br />
* Be sure the road actually exists before creating it.<br />
<br />
For more detail on creating road segments, see the global [https://wazeopedia.waze.com/wiki/Global/Creating_and_editing_road_segments Creating and editing road segments] page.<br />
===Create a Place=== <!--T:6--><br />
Hover over this [[File:DrawPlace.jpg|25px]] button to show [[Place categories]]. Choose one and click on the map to add it. This will add a point place. Use the [https://wazeopedia.waze.com/wiki/Global/Map_Editor_Interface_and_Controls#Left_Pane_when_a_Place_is_selected left pane] to change it to an area and to change other information about the place. For an area place, use [[#Geometry nodes|geometry nodes]] of the place to change its shape.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
More information about Places can found in the BeNeLux [[Places|Places page]].<br />
<br />
===Changing elements on the map=== <!--T:7--><br />
To change existing roads or Places, select the object you want to change. Now you can change the shape or appearance by adjusting the road geometry.<br /><br />
'''Geometry nodes'''<br />
[[File:Segments Nodes Junctions.png|500px]]<br />
<br /><br />
[[File:Segment geometry node.png|left]] <br />
[[File:Landmark node.png|left]] <br />
When editing a segment or Area Place, large white circles appear where the segment changes direction ultimately altering its shape. Click and drag them individually to alter the geometry of the segment or Place. Press the '''d''' key while the mouse is hovered over them to delete the geometry node. Alternately, hold the '''d''' key and then move the mouse over the [[Nodes|nodes]] you want to delete.<br /><br />
[[File:Segment intergeometry node.png|left]]<br />
[[File:Landmark intergeometry node.png|left]]<br />
The smaller white circles between the geometry [[Nodes|nodes]] are "inter"-geometry nodes. When you click and drag an inter-geometry node, it becomes a larger geometry node and two more inter-geometry nodes appear halfway between each side again.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
* TIP: Under the [[File:Layers.png|25px]] Layer icon at the top right of the [https://wazeopedia.waze.com/wiki/Global/Map_Editor_Interface_and_Controls#Map_Editor_Tool_Bar Map Editor Tool Bar], you can turn off the [https://wazeopedia.waze.com/wiki/Global/Map_Editing_Tips_and_Hints#Editing_with_roads_layer_off road layer], to have a better view on the road structure and Satellite Image.<br />
* TIP: Press <kbd class="keyboard-key nowrap" style="border: 1px solid #aaa; -moz-border-radius: 0.2em; -webkit-border-radius: 0.2em; border-radius: 0.2em; -moz-box-shadow: 0.1em 0.2em 0.2em #ddd; -webkit-box-shadow: 0.1em 0.2em 0.2em #ddd; box-shadow: 0.1em 0.2em 0.2em #ddd; background-color: #f9f9f9; background-image: -moz-linear-gradient(top, #eee, #f9f9f9, #eee); background-image: -o-linear-gradient(top, #eee, #f9f9f9, #eee); background-image: -webkit-linear-gradient(top, #eee, #f9f9f9, #eee); background-image: linear-gradient(to bottom, #eee, #f9f9f9, #eee); padding: 0.1em 0.3em; font-family: inherit; font-size: 0.85em;">Delete</kbd> to delete a selected segment, Place, or junction.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
For more information, see the global page on [https://wazeopedia.waze.com/wiki/Global/Creating_and_editing_road_segments#Editing_existing_roads Editing existing roads].<br />
<br />
===Connecting roads=== <!--T:8--><br />
When drawing new segments, or moving segments around, the editor will automatically make junctions.<br />
# For new roads, if you start and/or end the new segment on an existing segment, a junction is created at the location were you start/end the new segment<br />
# For existing roads, if you move the start or the end of a segment onto an existing segment, a junction is created<br />
# If you move a junction to an existing segment or junction, all roads connected will be part of the junction.<br />
<br /><br />
'''Bridging roads'''<br /><br />
# Select two adjacent segments which should be joined together<br />
# Click the [[File:Bridge idle.png|30px]] icon over the junction<br />
* The properties of the segments to be bridged must be identical or you will not see the bridge icon<br />
* Bridging automatically increases the level of the new merged segment by 1 more than the highest level of the two segments. You can change it, of course, if it needs to be a different level.<br /><br />
Generally, if two segments can be joined, you can also select the junction and press the trash can icon to have them join as well. If the trash can icon does not appear, the segments are different in some way. This might be the reason there is a junction in the first place. For more detail, see the global page on [https://wazeopedia.waze.com/wiki/Global/Overpasses,_Underpasses_and_Bridges Overpasses, Underpasses and Bridges].<br /><br />
<br /><br />
'''Crossing roads'''<br /><br />
When two roads cross each other at the same elevation level, they can be joined together easily. This is useful if you draw several new roads for a neighborhood by drawing segments from end-to-end and allowing new segments to cross each other. Once drawn, you can junction them using this method.<br />
# [[Additional_editing_tips#Select multiple segments|Select both segments]]<br />
# Click the [[File:Node idle.png|30px]] which should appear above the intersection<br />
# A junction is added<br />
The sign won't appear if the roads cross each other multiple times, or when elevation levels differ. You can often use this method with unconfirmed (red) roads, but sometimes the editor will refuse to do this process until the roads are confirmed. Additionally, changing zoom level sometimes helps to get the sometimes-stubborn junction creator icon to appear. <br /><br />
For further information see the global page on [https://wazeopedia.waze.com/wiki/Global/Map_Editing_Quick-start_Guide#Overlapping_road_junction Overlapping road junctions].<br /><br />
Be sure to check the <i>Junction Arrows</i> for your newly created junctions.<br />
<br />
===Junction Arrows=== <!--T:9--><br />
[[File:Lotsa turns.jpg|right]]<br />
When you select a segment, you can set the turns by clicking the arrows at the junction(s) with other segments.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
In General:<br />
* A green arrow means Allowed<br />
* A yellow arrow with a clock means it is [https://wazeopedia.waze.com/wiki/Global/Partial_restrictions Partially Restricted] (time or vehicle-type based)<br />
* A red arrow with the circle-slash icon means Restricted<br />
Clicking an arrow toggles between Allowed and Restricted (or, between Partially and Fully Restricted).<br /><br />
<br /><br />
<i>NOTE: The slashed-circle icon for Restricted and clock icon for Partial turn restrictions are put in place to allow editors with various forms of color blindness differentiate between the three different types of turn arrows. </i><br /><br />
<br />
<!--T:10--><br />
Each arrow must be set correctly for Waze to route correctly. Initial turn restrictions on roads that are imported by Waze, are set automatically by the Waze routing engine. At the moment these are called Soft turns. They are not yet confirmed manually by an editor and you can recognize them at the little question mark next to it. The soft turns can be altered by the routing engine, based on the driving activity. Manually set turns will never be altered by the routing engine. Unfortunately, both automatic and manually restricted turns are represented by red arrows and cannot be distinguished. Currently, when you use the option to enable all turns, it will not fully change the routing from automatic to manual setting, leaving possible so called RevCons. To clear these, select the junction with the mouse. Then, in the left menu pane, click the link to "Disallow all turns" and then "Allow all turns". Alternately you can use the keyboard shortcuts, by pressing the letter '''q''' to disallow all connections, followed by '''w''' to allow all connections.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
See the section [https://wazeopedia.waze.com/wiki/Global/Creating_and_editing_road_segments#Set_allowed_turns_.28connections.29 set allowed turns] in the global wiki for more information.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
Keyboard Shortcuts for junction arrowsː<br />
:Press '''s''' to separate overlapping arrows.<br />
:Press '''a''' to make arrows transparent or opaque, so you can see beneath them or click items under them<br />
:Press '''q''' to disallow all turns<br />
:Press '''w''' to allow all turns<br />
:Press '''⇧ Shift+z''' to toggle between seeing the turns for one segement, or seeing all restricted turns (red arrows) for all junctions in your screen. Don't forget to toggle back if actually setting the junction arrows on a segment.<br />
<br />
===Create a roundabout=== <!--T:11--><br />
# Draw single road segments that will lead to the [[Roundabout|roundabout]] and ensure they extend into the center of the roundabout area. Use the visual map or gps points to align the roads.<br />
# Hover the mouse over the [[File:DrawRoads.jpg|25px]] button on the toolbar at the top of the page and click "Roundabout" (Shortcut key: o).<br />
# Click the mouse on the map at the center of the roundabout area.<br />
# Move the mouse cursor outside, up to the middle of where the roundabout road should be, and single-click. WME now creates the roundabout and will remove all segments within it.<br />
# Roundabouts should not get a Streetname to enable proper routing. Enter the City name in the "Edit" menu left. Check the "None" box of the Streetname.<br />
Roundabouts in [[Waze Map Editor|WME]] will yield specific routing instructions to drivers, such as "at the roundabout, take the third exit". If those routing instructions could confuse drivers, the Roundabout tool should not be used.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
Roundabouts should never be used for cul-de-sacs or other dead end streets, regardless of how round they are. A single road segment leading to a cul-de-sac should be drawn as a dead end. With very large roads it might be advisable to create a loop, but not a roundabout. <br /><br />
<br /><br />
Traffic circles without roundabout signs should not be drawn as a roundabout. In some cases, a roundabout is not used even if there is a roundabout sign, to create the best possible instructions for the situation. <br /><br />
See also the page on [[Roundabout|roundabouts]].<br />
<br />
===Create a loop road=== <!--T:12--><br />
[[File:Dead_end_loop.png|thumb|left|one instead of three segment loop. Better to make it a dead end street]]<br />
[[File:Loop-road-example.png|thumb|right|correct three segment loop]]<br />
Every loop must be made up of three or more segments. Any loop that does not follow this rule can cause problems for the Waze routing server. If there is no side-street, you must insert an extra junction node along the loop. <br /><br />
<br /><br />
If you have to correct a loop road with less than three segments, cut one of the looping segments somewhere, following the instructions in [[#Cutting a segment|Cutting a segment]] and check the [[#Junction Arrows|Junction Arrows]]. <br /><br />
<br /><br />
Please note, a real loop road should only be sparsely used with care. For more information, see the article Loops in the global Wiki page [https://wazeopedia.waze.com/wiki/Global/Junction_Style_Guide Junction Style Guide].<br />
<br />
===Cutting a segment=== <!--T:13--><br />
You can cut a segment into two new segments. You can do this by adding a new segment from some random point nearby, to the point of the segment where you want to cut it. A new junction will be added. Delete the new segment just created. The newly created junction will remain and you made two new segments out of one. If you need to actually separate the road segments at that point, just relocate the end point of one of the two new segments.<br />
<br />
===Walking Trails / Pedestrian Boardwalks=== <!--T:14--><br />
Adding [[Walking trail|Walking Trails]] or [[Pedestrian Boardwalk|Pedestrian Boardwalks]] should only be done exceptionally. Do not add any before reading the general [[Non-drivable roads]] information and detailed information and guidelines on [[Pedestrian Boardwalk|Pedestrian Boardwalks]] and [[Walking trail|Walking Trails]]. When you have any doubt just ask your [[Community]].<br />
<br />
===Parking lots=== <!--T:15--><br />
[[File:WME ParkingLot corrects.PNG|thumb]]<br />
[[File:WNE ParkingLotPlace.PNG|thumb]]<br />
Parking Lots are sparsely drawn, to prevent cluttering the map. The most important thing is that people can be routed to and from a parking lot. For small Parking Lots, a single road segment often suffices. For large Parking Lots (for example at an event center) consider mapping only the following:<br />
* Main entrances from the roads outside the parking lot<br />
* Lanes that run along entrances of buildings<br />
* Lanes that run along main roads outside the parking area (to separate different speed tracks)<br />
* Large parking lot lanes that serve to get people from one area of the lot to another<br />
Parking Lot Roads need to be defined as such in the menu pane left. They generate a large penalty to prevent thru-traffic in the navigation.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
A Parking Lot Road only gets the City defined, without a street name (check the "None" box), unless it's an official street. Never use generic names, like 'Parking Theater'. For detailed information, please read the page about [[Parking Lot Road|Parking Lot Roads]] in BeNeLux.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
For large Parking Lots that are distinctive and significant, and for general purpose and public use, a [[Parking Lot Place]] can be drawn. <br />
===Housenumbers===<br />
Since november 2014 it is possible to search for housenumbers in the Waze database. To support this functionality, Waze imported housenumber data from external sources, in multiple countries, like The Netherlands. This was not the case in Belgium or Luxemburg.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
When searching for an address in the [[Waze app]] or [[Live map]], Waze will use the following order to present the results:<br />
# Manually created housenumbers<br />
# Google Maps database<br />
# Imported housenumber data<br />
Imported housenumbers can be recognized for there is no editor linked to the housenumber in the housenumber screen. For the best working of Waze follow this guideline: if you notice a wrongly positioned address/housenumber in the app or livemap, add the housenumber or correct the housenumber in the Waze Map Editor. If the housenumber looks correct, but there is no editor linked to it yet, just give it a nudge and Save. Now you should see your name linked to the housenumber when you select it. See also our Wiki page on [[House numbers]].<br /><br />
<sub>Note: Be aware that, in the app, old search records should be removed to get an updated result.</sub><br />
<br />
==Solve Map Problems (MPs) and User Requests (URs)== <!--T:16--><br />
Solving [[File:Problem pin open-low.png|30px]] MPs and [[File:Request pin open-low.png|30px]] URs needs attention and often quite some knowledge. Unless you are sure about the problem (e.g., you are local and checked the situation), it is not advised to do this when you are a starter to WME. More information can be read in our [[Update request|Update requests]] and [[Map Problems]] pages, <br />
<br />
==Closing a street== <!--T:17--><br />
If you've knowledge of planned roadworks or you come across a a closed street, the best thing to do is request a [[Closures|closure]]. As a starting editor you're not yet able to set [[Closures|closures]] yourself. Requesting a closure can be done via the [[Slack]] closure channel. A closure is instantly active and is used for temporary blockades.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
Another way to prevent routing going through a street is by adding a [[Restrictions|restriction]]. Restrictions are used for blocking a street on specific days, times or blocking specific vehicle types. [[Restrictions]] are not meant for temporary situations, like roadworks or accidents. They are really part of the map. Restriction changes need a map update, so they will take probably one or two days to become active.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
<br />
==How to make a permalink== <!--T:18--><br />
The permalink icon [[File:Wme permalink icon.png|25px]] at the right bottom of your screen has two functions:<br />
* refresh the browser window, and<br />
* to create Permalinks to share and communicate with other editors.<br />
A <i>permalink</i> is a URL used to take you or someone else directly to a specific map location. It contains latitude, longitude, zoom level, visible layers, and optionally a junction or a place or one or more segments.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
To refresh the browser and "remember" the current editing window information, simply click on the permalink icon. Any unsaved edits will be lost, and the chat window will be cleared. The current map permalink will be copied to the address bar, and may be copied for sharing with other editors.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
To create a permalink without refreshing the browser, zoom and pan the map to show what you want to show. Next, hover the mouse over the [[Wme permalink icon.jpg|25px]] permalink icon on the right side of the bottom bar until a message pops up. Then use Ctrl+C to copy the permalink. You can paste this link anywhere you need it.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
To include a single place, junction, or segment in the permalink, click on it before using the permalink icon. To include several segments and/or objects, use ctrl+click (for MAC:⌘ Command+click).<br /><br />
<br />
==Use of external resources== <!--T:19--><br />
You, yourself have invaluable knowledge of your surroundings: this is the best free, up to date and reliable source to be used in editing the map. <br /><br />
<br /><br />
Besides your own eyes you can use<br />
* the <i>internal Streetview</i> that is available from the [[Waze Map Editor|WME]]. Drag the lens icon from above the zoom control bottom right to the point where you want to see the street view. Beware that the situation can be changed.<br />
* the <i>Satellite imagery</i>, to be enable / disabled via the layers menu. Waze uses aerial and satellite photography provided by Google.<br />
<br />
<!--T:20--><br />
But, be very careful using other, external sources for editing the map; some policies or conditions restrict the use or duplication of the data and could lead to a complete deletion of the country map. Read more on the [[Resources]] page.<br />
<br />
==Take the next step== <!--T:21--><br />
* The sequel to this <i>Quick-Start Guide</i> can be found in in the [[BeNeLux Advanced Guide]]<br />
* Helpfull tips and often encountered problems when starting editing are described in [[Improve your skills]].<br />
* Don't forget to join your [[Community|fellow Wazers]], who will be happy to meet you!<br /><br />

==Closures== <!--T:1--><br />
Real Time Closures (RTC) should be used when a road is temporarily unavailable. Users are notified of the closures in real-time, from the moment the closure is added routing through these segments is prevented. Active closures are made visible in the [[Waze app|app]] and [[Live map]] with alerts and candy stripes on the closed segments. <br /><br />
<br /><br />
Duration of an closure is maximum 6 months. It is possible to add an additional closure for another period following on a previous closure.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
The script [[WME Closure Details]] can be used to view Closure details on closures outside the [[Editable area|editable area]]. The script [[WME Advanced Closures]] handles recurrent and imported closures in the [[Waze Map Editor]].<br />
<br /><br />
[[File:Rtc-luxembourg.png|right|450px]]<br />
[[File:App-closure.png|left|200px]]Users in the [[Waze app]] can mark an unexpected road closure they see while driving. Reliable requests become immediately active on the Waze map as a <i>RTC</i> and automatically shared, via the [[Waze Closures Bot|closures bot]] with editors in the relevant Slack-channels: [https://wazebenelux.slack.com/messages/C037BDXMG #closures-be], [https://wazebenelux.slack.com/messages/C037KV8KM #closures-be-fr], [https://wazebenelux.slack.com/messages/C04CBAYGB #closures-nederland] and [https://wazebenelux.slack.com/messages/C0E3F7PSB #closures-lux]. <br /><br />
<br /><br />
The date an App closure is entered is used as startdate of the closure. App closures are almost always one-way closures.<br />To change the end date of an App closure: delete the App closure and create of a new one.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
Closures can be set by editors with [[Editor level|Level 3]] and above and by the members of the <i>Closure team</i>.<br />
<br /><br />
Requests for closures within one or two days are welcome in the Slack closure channels, others can be requested on our [[Forum|forums]]: [http://bit.ly/NLforum_closures Dutch forum closures] and [https://www.waze.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=718 Belgium forum closures].<br /><br />
<small><br />
Please enter your requests as follows: [[File:Slack-closure-request.png|right|600px|Example closure request]]<br />
* [[Editor level|Level]] <br />
* City and optionally Street name<br />
* Starting date and time / End date and time <br />
* Closure reason / description<br />
* A [[PL|permalink]] of the segment to close<br />
* Source of the closure information<br />

[[File:TBR-Tollroad.png|right|Toll road check]]<br />
With the toll feature it is possible to define toll prices for certain segments.<br />
An editor can do the initial work. A toll champ can finish the job.<br /><br />
<br />
<!--T:2--><br />
For defining a toll route select (only) one segment, go to the [[Restrictions]] tab of this segment and check the <i>toll</i> field.<br /><br />
Then this information has to be assembled:<br />
* The name of the tunnel / ferry / road.<br />
* The prices for cars, motorbikes, special subscriptions.<br />
* Opening hours<br />
* The [[PL|permalink]] of the segment<br />
* The website<br />
<br />
<!--T:3--><br />
Send this data to the [[Slack]] channel [https://wazebenelux.slack.com/messages/C04EZ5HDX #editing-nederland]. One of the toll champs will take over and process your request.<br /><br />
The assembled data will be checked and if correct and complete submitted to the Waze toll system.<br /><br />
The segment with Toll checked will be locked on <b>[[Locks|L6]]</b> and a [[Map Comment|comment]] will be placed to highlight the special treatment because of the toll.<br /><br />
<br />
<!--T:4--><br />
The update takes place through a process that is not linked to the regular map updates. After defining the toll it can take some days before the information is visible in the [[Waze app|app]].<br />
