This comprehensive Glossary has been designed to function as a glossary, an index and a cross reference by means of sorting features and a table of contents.
It attempts to include all of the abbreviations, acronyms and terms used in the official and third party Waze ecosystem and the various communication mediums.
Some terms existed prior to Waze, while others were officially coined by Waze. Many evolved naturally within the various Waze communication mediums used by Wazers and staff alike. Regardless of origin, all are important to help understand Waze Speak!
Please carefully consider your use of the abbreviations and acronyms in your conversations, since they can be unfamiliar when not used in conjunction with other terms or without defining context.
While many terms apply globally, this glossary is US English-centric.
The descriptions within this Glossary attempt to merely resolve ambiguity of terms, and reference other Wiki pages, articles, and sections, along with other Waze and external sources. This intentional lack of description content helps avoid duplication of source content, and facilitates future maintenance when source content changes.

Dogleg | ~ | A dogleg is a shift in a road. Normally, when Road A meets Road B, both segments of Road A are at the same junction. In a dogleg, they don't match up. To cross road B on Road A, you must turn briefly onto Road B and turn back onto Road A short distance later. It is called a dogleg because it has the characteristic shape of a dog's leg. A micro-dogleg (mDL), is a technique with a similar appearance to a dogleg, used for altering the angle Waze sees at a junction, which affects turn instructions. |

Grade | ~ | The elevation of a road with respect to surrounding roads. So a road would normally be at-grade - ground level.. A road going underneath in a tunnel would be below grade. A road going over would be above grade. At complicated junctions such as freeway interchanges there can be many grade levels. In WME on a flat map we assign Elevations to show that while the roads cross, they do not connect because they are at different heights (or grades). Ground level = "Ground", below grade = a negative elevation, above grade = a positive elevation. |

Micro-dogleg | mDL, μDL | A one or two geometry nodes at the end of a segment, which change the true angle at which the segment meets its junction, without changing the appearance of the junction. The geometry nodes are very close to the junction, and nearly or completely invisible at the zoom levels available on the client (app). An mDL is frequently used to force "Turn" instructions instead of "Keep/Exit" instructions and vice-versa. They have a shape similar to a dogleg junction.
For example, if the angle at which a local road meets a highway is 20 degrees, Waze will instruct a user turning off the highway to "EXIT RIGHT" (assuming right hand drive countries). If we consider this a 'turnoff' (at grade junction), and not an 'exit', we will want to force Waze to treat it as a 'turn'. By making a tiny crook (the micro-dogleg) at the very start of the local segment, we can have the final piece of the segment meet the highway at 90 degrees, and cause a turn instruction. |
