Introduction

Entering speed limits has been enabled. As always this is a generalised description, inform yourself about local guidelines in your country. If local guidelines can't be found or are unclear contact a state or country manager.

Entering Limits

Phased roll-out

The roll-out of speed limits is planned in three phases, as explained below:

  • Phase 1 - initial speed limit data (by community)
    • Minimum 10 000 segments on a localized area (e.g. city)
    • With all types of roads
    • Most importantly all types of speeds that exist in the country should be present.
  • Phase 2 - prediction algorithm (by Waze)
    • Wait for the Waze Team to generate Speed Limit predictions for all the country / metro. This takes a few business days
  • Phase 3 - speed limit verification (by community)
    • Verify the inserted speed limits by the Waze algorithm (use the ‘Verify’ checkbox inside the Editor). Focus on high speed roads (Freeways, Major Highways, Minor Highways).

Tips & tricks

  • Do not include multiple road types in one selection or the speed limit text boxes will be unavailable.

Scripts

The following external scripts can aid with entering speed limits. [Insert link to explaination about scripts]
