===Noms de Villes===
Les noms de villes dans le BeNeLux sont figées et peuvent être consultées: 
* Pour la Belgique via: [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1sczAFxO5slNqjdFgnNRcGLHuXBIL6JFRprUFopS5WsE/pub?single=true&gid=1&output=html Official Waze citynames for Belgium].
<br />
* Pour les Pays-Bas via [https://almanak.overheid.nl/ Staatsalmanak].<br />
'''Attention pour la Belgique'''<br />
Certaines situations ne sont pas claires comme par exemple la ville Wallone de Geest-Gérompont-Petit-Rosière. Le nom est introduit dans la base de donnée avec les 2 noms. Si vous essayez d'introduire une ville non existante, une erreur apparaitra lors de la sauvegarde dans [[Waze Map Editor|WME]].
<br />
</div>

Some situations are unclear, for example a city divided in two. We refer to the Wallon city of Geest-Gérompont-Petit-Rosière. We input the city as one city. Stick to the names in the list. Adding a new City name, non existent on the list, will result in an error when you try to save in [[Waze Map Editor|WME]].


<div class="mw-translate-fuzzy">
== Street names ==
All segments should get a City name, and most segments also get a Street name. When entering the Street name, we use the Street name in the official language of the area. For the 19 cities in Brussels area where 2 official languages exist, we use the French version. As a reference, you can find the official language in the City names list.<br />
<br />
As there is a City name and Street name, it's possible there is also a road number. This road number should be positioned before the Streetname. Some examples:
* N200 - S103 - Haarlemmerweg
* N68 - E421 - Route d'Eupen
* N451 - Kieldrechtsebaan

=== Streets with 2 names (left and right) ===
* Use the name of the side with the most houses.
* Ad the other name as an alternative name.
* Use [[Residential Place|Residential Point Place (RPP)]] for the house numbers on the side of the alternate street name.

==== Split segment (left, right) ====
Previously, a segment was split to assign both street names. However, this can cause errors in the ETA and it gives a messy map. This method is therefore currently not recommended and should certainly not be applied on roads of the type [[Primary Street|Primary street]] or higher.

==== Double name ====
It is not recommended to give a segment a double name "leftstreet - rightstreet".
* The name gets to long to show in the app.
* This can cause problems when looking up.
* The synchronization with the search results of Google maps is disrupted
* You must use [[Residential Place|Residential Point Place (RPP)]] on both sides of the street

==Pronounciation==
Remarks on the pronounciation of street names in the [[Text to speak]] navigation: 
* The primary Street is used. 
* Abbreviated titles like ''Prof'' and ''Dr'' should be spelled with a period after the abbreviated title, like ''Prof.'' and ''Dr.'' to get the pronounciation right.
* If the offical Street name differs from the correct pronounciated Street name the official Street name should be defined as alternative name.<br />

==Routing==
There can be a problem with navigating to a fully defined destination - [[House numbers|house number]] present or [[Residential Place]] defined - when there is closeby a segment with a matching Alternative Street name. For a complete description and the solution of this problem see [[Routing to matching Alternative Street names]]. <br />
 

See for house numbers the [[House numbers|House numbers page]]
