Communication

Because of the international character of this MapRaid, the main language is English. There is help for translations.

The participants will be divided into several groups, one for each section of the map. Each group will have both local and senior editors, one of which will be the Group leader. Please direct all questions to your group leader. The raid hosts will be available across all areas for added support.

When working in the raid area, please set yourself to visible in WME chat. Also, turn on the Live Users layer. This will serve to collaborate smoothly and get quick help at your location if needed.

We will use Slack as the main communication service. There is a special Turkey MapRaid channel for this raid. If you are not already part of the MapRaid Slack team, you will be invited shortly before the Raid starts.

Raid Areas

This MapRaid has X groups according to the following map (to be added). Use the [overlay] to show the borders of your group area.

Mapraid guidelines

Missing Roads

Polish public roads are grouped into four categories related to the republic's administrative division. https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drogi_krajowe_w_Polsce#/media/File:Drogi_krajowe_w_Polsce.svg

    Major Highways      Expressways      Freeways      Paid Freeways

a) Freeways and expressways
b) Major Highways
c) Minor Highways
d) Primary Streets
e) Streets
f) Dirt roads
g) Private roads
h) Parking Lot roads

Głównym celem uzupełnienie dróg głównych oraz ulic, ponieważ drogi o wyższej kategorii są naniesione. Dodatkowo celem jest zablokowanie drogi na odpowiednim poziomie:

Road type	Lock level
Primary Street	2
Minor Highway	3
Major Highway	4
Freeway	4
Ramp	4

Missing Cities

Due to complex rules of naming cities in Poland, city names can only be added by Polish LCs. In case of missing city, please add at least one segment of the city you'd like to build, and then ask one of the Polish LCs (list link TBD) to add the city name to the one of these segments. You'll then be able to use this new city name for all other segments of the new city.

Verify speed limits

Speed limits should be verified with Google Street View.

All routes in cities (by law): 50km/h

exceptions: Increased or reduced by speed signs. See Street View. Outside cities:

Freeways (named as AXX, for example A1, A12, A4): 140km/h
Express way, dual carriegway (marked as freeways, named SXX, for example S1, S69): 120km/h
Express way, single line (marked as freeways, named SXX, for example S1, S69): 100km/h
Major HW, dual carriegway: 100km/h
Major HW, single line: 90km/h
Minor HW, dual carriegway: 100km/h
Minor HW, single line: 90km/h

All other routes outside cities: 90km/h

For better understanding speed limits please look at this picture: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/1c/Znak_D-39._Ograniczenia_pr%C4%99dko%C5%9Bci_w_Polsce_od_2011.svg

Connectivity

Micro-Doglegs We use micro-doglegs to control turn- vs. stay/keep/exit instructions. Zoom in very close to see the closely-spaced geometry nodes. Preserve them.

Places

Głównym celem jest dodanie lasów, jezior i rzek oraz weryfikacja istniejących miejsc tego rodzaju. Edytowane/tworzone miejsce nie powinno zawierać miasta w adresie. Poprawne miejsce powinno być zablokowane na lvl2.

• This is a script that facilitate the process of editing maps in the WME. It has a toolbar that facilitates the process of removing unnecessary nodes, cut segments, locate "Soft Nodes", or nodes with undefined directions.
  • Install for Chrome
  • Install for Firefox.

URComments

• a time and labor saving tool for responding to URs. Read the documentation. Needs TamperMonkey (Chrome) or Greasemonkey (Firefox) to install and use.

!!PLEASE REMEMBER THAT YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE USE OF ALL SCRIPTS!!

There is a wiki page and a forum with more information about scripts.
