Revision as of 08:58, 2 May 2020

We are currently updating the pages to include all regionally different guidelines. If you find inconsistencies, please refer to the English page. Thank you!
Other languages:

IMPORTANT - Please make sure not to share any information about lanes outside the community. As any other feature in beta this is confidential.

What is the Lane Guidance Feature?

The ability to provide driving instruction based on lanes, a clearer and smoother driving experience for drivers.
While mapping, pay attention to the different types of junctions.


If you cannot add lanes, instead of hacking the map or creating a workaround please add the feedback to the spreadsheet, choose the right type of feedback, and explain the reason why.

How does it look in the app?

- The next turn indication will transition to a lane guidance for streets where the lanes have been added from the Waze Map Editors community.

- For primary streets and minor Highway it will happen ~500m before the junction. For highways and Major Highway ~1km.

Important to know

What is currently not supported, but we are working on?

  • TTS is currently not yet supported.
  • The Visual indication for “continue straight” in case there is no turn involved.
  • More complicated types of junctions. We currently support +, H and # junctions.

What is currently out of scope?

  • Lanes on Roundabouts.
  • Lanes on AA , the whole platform is undergoing a restructure and redesign in order to make it easier to add features.

Known issues

  • Lanes are available on Carplay but are not centered, slightly aligned to the left.(We won't collect any CarPlay feedback until iOS 13.4.5 officially comes out.)
  • Editors with a lower level won’t be able to see the lanes tab and lanes data in WME for now.
  • Editing segments with lane guidance, i.e: splitting them, will cause lanes data removal so make sure to add map comments where necessary.


Where can we find more information about Lanes?

We created this Lanes Knowledge Base in order to help you start smoothly and have a snapshot of all the knowledge created during the alpha and beta stage. We’ll make sure to update it periodically with new content if needed.

Exits and weaving sections

This examples can be used for Freeway MH and mH for non at-grade connections. These are draft proposals

Exit
Weaving section or parallel Exit > 150m
Exit with taper
Split

At-grade crossings

At intersections with a stop line, take all existing lanes. In the example at the right this will give the following:


Avoid to use at-grade connectors. See also the Global wiki

Bus Lanes

Other vehicles may only use the bus lane to change direction. so they can only be markd with:
Bus lane forbidden for others except crossing, are not mapped.

What’s next?

  • The team is currently working on TTS (Text To Speech) for Lanes and the indication on ‘Continue Straight”.
  • We are going to rollout lanes to the wider beta community in the client in the next few days. This will allow us to get feedback while you are mapping and increase the lane coverage.
  • We will be in touch with the coordinator to plan a per country gradual rollout to production


Ask questions publicly!

A lot of Editors that tested the feature in Beta will be more than happy to help you and answer your questions. Also make sure to sync with your community and coordinators for your country guidelines. We are here if you have any questions, doubt and feedback.
