Welcome to Canada
Canada follows most of the editing guidelines that the USA does so most practices can be used without issue.
However there are a few differences that need to be understood before entering the Great White North!
- Freeways have a different method of being set up and entered/exited. Do not change any road types without contacting a local host first.
- Be aware that French is the second language for all of Canada and many people speak it as their first. If you run into a French issue, please do not use Google Translate. Several of our Canadian editors are fluent, please contact them to deal with the issue. There is a channel in Slack for this: ca-ask-canadian
- Although there is a locking standard table, Canada has Traffic Locks (Auto Locks) active. These locks take precedence.
Please review the Canada Wiki page before diving into our icy waters!
Thanks for participating and happy editing!
Mission
Our mission are to handle the following (in order of priority):
- Places validation

Local Guidance
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 Level 5.
When traffic locks are not enough to effectively protect an area, or after a city has undergone a "Road Classification" change the locks may be manually set to the below standards, depending on the decision of the Canadian Champs.
If the traffic lock is higher than the minimum standards listed below, please don't lower the lock.
| Segment Type | Default locks | |
|---|---|---|
| Freeway | 5 | |
| Ramp | highest rank of connected segment | |
  |
3 | |
| Major Highway | 4 | |
| Minor Highway | 3 | |
| Primary Street | 2 | |
| Street | 1 | |
| :|:|:|:|:Railroad:|:|:|:|: | 4 | |
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 information you can. Once a place is complete please lock to rank 3. If your own editor rank is 1 or 2, let someone else know via Slack, since you can't lock to rank 3.
This practice will prevent app trusted users and most IGN editors from making incorrect changes to places we know are right. App trusted users and IGN editors are rarely rank 3.
Ferries
Please do not use the ferry road type, it's not yet functional in Waze. Canada will adopt U.S. guidelines with respect to ferries.
- Use the FC/RC classification of the road leading to the ferry crossing.
- If the ferry has a toll, mark it as a toll road.
Cameras
Speed Cameras are not allowed in Ontario, feel free to remove them.
Mapping Resources
There are several resources for the various areas we will be working in.
Communication
The preferred method of communication for this Raid will be a web based program called "Slack". This program has many advantages over Google Hangouts.
If you aren't already a member of the Waze Map Raid Slack then please submit your information on this form: http://bit.ly/Slack_invite
You will receive an invitation in your email within 24 hours.

MapRaid Promotions
Some editors really let their bright side out, and let their community skills shine. This is even more evident in a concerted group effort with high-density editing like a MapRaid!. Editors of all ranks working closely with each other and the Champs, really lets us everyone get to know each other, and allows certain editors to be recognized for their skills and effort.
When the Champs see someone consistently editing well, interacting well with the community, and knowledgeable of the various details from the Wiki, they can issue promotions. This can be anything from the size of a managed area, to a rank increase, or even a new role.
