<big>'''A Complete Guide to Waze in Canada'''</big>


Welcome to Waze map editing in Canada and to the editing community!
Since the USA and Canada share the same Waze server, many of the policies and best practices that have been developed for the US also apply to Canada. This page contains information that is unique to Canada. Because some of it is still being developed, please [[USA:|follow the guidance for the US]] where it is not in conflict with the information here.
This page is always in development and will soon be available in [[Canada (Français)|French]].
==Getting Started==
Please see the article [[:USA:Getting_Started|Getting Started]].
Another great resource for new map editors is the [[:USA:Waze_Map_Editor/Welcome|Welcome to WME]] page.
==Help Improve Waze==
Please see the article [[:USA:Help_Improve_Waze|Help Improve Waze]].
==Forums==
Please check out the Canada-specific forums here: [http://www.waze.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=57 Canada Forum]
Feel free to post questions and ask for advice in your editing. Our region is very different in a number of ways from the United States, so the generic editing guidelines don't always apply.

===Area/Country Manager Requests===
To request Area Manager or Country Manager access, please fill out [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScuagZUdynIGeVU8tqQEDo8ZB-y-D6koOsEMFHoqV0Z7IShiA/viewform this form].
===Unlock/Update Requests===
Canada has its own forum area for unlock/update requests. Please make&nbsp;[http://www.waze.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=358 your requests here].  The instructions for posting are in [https://www.waze.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=325873 this sticky post.]
== Road Editing in Canada ==
We maintain guidance for standards to apply to road editing in Canada on [[Road Editing in Canada|its own page]]. Please follow the standards.
==Turn Instructions and Road Shields==
Waze has introduce the ability to modify [[Turn Instructions|turn instructions]] independent from the names of segments. These instructions can also incorporate [[Road Shields|road shields]]. The creation and use of road shields is currently limited to editors of rank 4 and higher.
Please look at [[Turn Instructions|this page]] for guidance. There is a lot of work to be done.
==Closures==
Please report future planned road closures by following the instructions here: https://www.waze.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=358&t=311475
The closure system allows for complete (or directional, i.e. A->B only) closures to be reported. Partial closures (e.g. one of two lanes in a direction) should not be reported.
If you have a need for an immediate closure (aka emergency), whether due to a traffic incident or major road that had a missing closure, you can reach out through our [https://discord.gg/YaJ4CunX Discord emergency-closures channel here].
This method is preferred over adding restrictions -- it is nearly immediate, and does not rely on a tile rebuild. The closure will also be visible in the app and on the Livemap, in addition to avoiding routing through the segment.
==Map Editing in Quebec==
The province of [[Quebec]] has distinct issues to take into account when editing the map. The [[Montreal Area]] has unique issues of its own.
==Parking Lot Naming==
U.S. guidance recommends that all parking lots be given names. The U.S. guidance breaks it down into four descriptor categories.
#Completely Generic
#Purpose Descriptive
#Location Descriptive
#Named
In Canada, we do not use the first category of completely generic parking descriptors such as  “Parking - Starbucks”, “Parking - Costco”, etc.
The map clutter associated with generic parking names on the client is unacceptable to us. Until the client can suppress parking lot names from being displayed in the client, guidance for parking lots in Canada is to not include it.
Purpose Descriptive lots may be used when there is a lot restricted to non-visitors (e.g. an employee-only parking lot) that is separate from one for visitors.  In this case, both may be named.
Location Descriptive lots are acceptable for large indoor malls (e.g. West Edmonton Mall) where different lots will lead to different entrances nearby certain amenities.
We also do not use the  🅿 [P] parking emoji anywhere in the naming of parking lot areas. Do not use, for example “ [P] lot”, “Red [P] Lot 24”, etc.
==City Naming==
To save space, only enter the name of the city. For example, "Toronto" '''not''' "City of Toronto", or for smaller places use "Springfield" '''not''' "Town of Springfield", "Village of Springfield", "Springville Township", "Regional Municipality of Springfield".
'''''NEVER '''include the province in the City field.'' For example don't put in "Springfield, Qc" or "Springfield, On".
If you find a city that can't save without the province name (perhaps it changes when you save it, or generates other save error), please post a message in the applicable province's forum.
This applies to both primary names and alternate names -- the alternate city is assumed to be in the primary province and country.
==Locking Standard==
Canada has active "Traffic Locks", these locks are based on usage from users. They are limited to a max rank of 4, but can be any rank below.
Segments that have restricted turns must be locked to a minimum Level 3.
<span style="color: red"><b>If the current lock or traffic lock is higher than the minimum standards listed below, please don't lower the lock.</b></span>

</center>
==Place Editing==
PUR should be reviewed for accuracy, once approved all relevant information pertaining to the place should be entered. Please use each company's website to gather all the information you can. Once a place is complete please lock to rank 3.
This practice will help prevent users and editors from making incorrect changes to places we know are right.
Following are general standards for place locking in Canada:

Telephone Number Format for Waze Places
+1-NPA-NXX-XXXX
*NPA is the [http://www.nanpa.com/area_codes/ Area Code]
*NXX is the [http://localcallingguide.com/lca_prefix.php prefix]
*XXXX is the 4 digit block
This number format allows mobile phones, regardless of their home network, to dial a number without having to modify the number first.
===Place Naming===
Place Naming in Canada should adhere to the following guidelines. Following the government agency naming guide is a list of businesses which are chains or franchises. Please use these name spellings when creating or updating a place.
===Hospitals & Other Medical Services===
Hospitals with Emergency Rooms are the only place type permitted to use the Hospital category. All other day clinics, surgical centres, doctors etc must use the Doctor / Clinic category. Other non core medical services services such as Naturopaths, physio-therapists, chiroprators, etc should use the Office category. Emergency Rooms must have a separate Waze Point Place with "ER/Urgence" prefixed in the primary name, for example:
:ER - Brampton Civic Hospital
:ER - St. Michael's Hospital
:Urgence - Hôpital de Verdun
===Government Agencies===
'''Police Stations''': City, Agency followed by division name, for example:
:Toronto Police 12 Division
:Peel Police 22 Division
:OPP Collingwood Detachment
'''Fire Stations''': City, Agency followed by station number, for example:
:Brampton Fire Station 221
:Toronto Fire Station 347
===Nested Places===
If a secondary business within another business location has a different category, contact numbers and opening times, it may be added to the map as a new (second) point place with the new primary category and relevant contact details and opening times.  Typical examples of this type of nesting would be pharmacies or post offices within supermarkets or superstores.
===Place Name Harmonization===
If you don't find the business you're looking for, please [http://docs.google.com/forms/d/13JwXsrWPNmCdfGR5OVr5jnGZw-uNGohwgjim-JYbSws/viewform use this form] to submit the missing information.
A [https://www.waze.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=819&t=215657 script is available to assist with Place Harmonization] and has been localized for use in Canada.

===Fuel Retailers===
For modification of fuel retailers in Canada, please use the [//docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScaonCiVkOLIYRHmcpiFWkEodl-6UaLA8r01QomjnvYt8PVNA/viewform?entry_1000001=Canada Gas Stations Brands form].
===When to Use Area or Point in Canada===
We follow [[usa:Places#When_to_use_area_or_point|American guidance]] for places, including when deciding whether to use an area or point for a place. As a very rough guide, public buildings (hospitals, schools, police, fire, etc.) and gas stations should be areas and businesses should be points — but consult the rules to make sure.
But we also have specifically Canadian guidance on selecting area or point for places in the Waze Map Editor, as indicated in the [[#Place_Name_Harmonization|Place Name Harmonization]] table.
'''Optional Area''' shall only be used after consulting local area managers on regional guidelines. The place must be a significant landmark with navigational value in the community. For example: a Tim Hortons in Hepburn, SK (population 500) is of significance. However, the same sized Tim Hortons is of zero significance in the Greater Toronto Area.
We do not want to impose hard & fast rules for the '''Optional Area''' category. Please use some judgement, we do not want to see wall-to-wall areas for every single building structure on the map.
'''Optional Area''' shall be landmarked to just the building structure only, do not include the parking lot area.
'''Fence-line Areas''' shall be landmarked from fence line to fence line to include all parking lots, roads, and anything associated with the property. Parking lot roads (PLRs), parking lots, and gas stations all serve the same purpose.

|Use only if water itself is visually obvious to drivers on nearby roads. Do not remap features already present in the built-in Waze water layer unless that layer is incomplete or inaccurate. Map only the typical extent of visible water, not adjacent open space, greenbelt, culvert, meadows, or flood plain.  If the river/stream is too narrow to map conveniently with an Area Place, it should not be mapped at all.
