| ==How to fix scan problems== | | |title=Editing Masterclasses |
| Scan problems are in fact warnings which appear when the program recognizes a specific area which might interrupt the navigation.<br/>
| | |subtitle=Start your journey as an editor, join your local community and make an impact in the Waze map! |
| The fact that a scan problem appears in a specific area does not necessarily mean that the specific problem has to be fixed. <br/>
| | |color=#AC64FF |
| It is important to check if any means of fixing should actually take place.
| | |link=Editing Masterclasses |
| | | }}{{card 1 |
| Clicking on a scan problem will present on the ''Edit panel'' additional information regarding the chosen problem. In some cases fixing suggestions will appear.
| | |title=New Waze Editor - Ask for a Mentor |
| ===Scan problem number 1: Intersecting roads=== | | |subtitle=New to editing? Need support? Ask for a mentor here! |
| The program might alert of this problem when two roads intersect and no mutual node (intersection) appears in between.
| | |color=#AC64FF |
| | | }}{{card 1 |
| '''Solution:'''<br/>
| | |title=Local wiki pages |
| In case that the two roads create a junction, meaning: when there is in fact a possibility to turn from one road to the other, it is necessary to create a node in the junction between the intersection.
| | |color=#AC64FF |
| #Choose the problem icon by clicking it. | | }}{{card 1 |
| #In the ''Edit panel'' the chosen problem will appear, including the relevant roads. In the bottom of the panel a possible solution will appear: ''Create junction''
| | |title=WME Advanced Guides |
| #Choose this option and confirm. | | |color=#AC64FF |
| | | }} |
| Please note that in many cases the problem does not need to be corrected. The attached example demonstrates two roads which seem they intersect but in fact there's a bridge above one road.
| | |section 2=Community Resources |
| [[Image:Scan1-edited.png|700px]]
| | |cards 2={{card 2 |
| In this case the bridge should be marked as such:
| | |subtitle=There are many different opportunities to get involved and contribute to the Waze Community! |
| #Choose one of the sections of the bridge (the first by direction of the traffic). | | |color=#1BAB50 |
| #Hold Ctrl key and select the second section of the bridge, so that the two sections around the problem No. 1 are now highlighted.
| | |link=Community Roles |
| #In the Edit panel select ''Bridge above/ below mutual node''. | | }}{{card 2 |
| #Another option is to change the level of the two road segments on ''Edit road details'' panel.

| ===Scan problem number 3: road contained in another road=== | | |color=#1BAB50 |
| | | |link=Waze Communities Global Group |
| The program will alert you when two overlapped segments appear in exactly the same place and connected to the same connection points. Without any alert of this problem, it is not always possible to see that there are two roads in the same place because one hides the other.

| [[Image:Scan3_edited.png|700px]]
| | |title=New Communities Process |
| '''Solution:'''<br/>
| | |subtitle=Visit this page for some tips to help you get started! |
| The most simple way to solve the problem is:
| | |color=#1BAB50 |
| #Highlight the relevant (visible) segment. | | }}{{card 2 |
| #In the Edit panel choose ''Edit road geometry''
| | |title=Youtube Channel |
| #change the shape of the road so it reveals the road below and then confirm your changes.
| | |subtitle=Check out the Communities Youtube Channel |
| #delete the unnecessary road - if there is one road that contains less information, such as a street's name or traffic direction, you should delete this one. | | |color=#1BAB50 |
| #Make sure that the road that remained after deletion is back in its original form using the ''Edit road geometry''.

| ===Scan problem number 4: Road shorter than 10 meters=== | | |subtitle=When a crisis occurs, Waze, our editor community, and Waze Partners work together to help people in the affected area |
| | | |color=#1BAB50 |
| When the length of a particular segment of a road is very short (less than 10 meters) the program will alert you. Usually this is an error that requires correction. However, note that sometimes the actual segment of the road is indeed very short and does not need any correction. In this case problem number 4 will be displayed on the map but should be ignored.<br/>

| In order for two roads to be properly connected, it is not enough for the two roads to just be close to each other.<br/>
| | |color=#1BAB50 |
| Problem number 6 alerts that two segments appear to be connected but in fact that they are just close to each other, and the program does not recognize a possibility of driving from segment to the other and will not allow the navigation.<br/>

| ===Scan problem number 7: Non drivable road=== | | |link=All Community Channels |
| | | }}{{card 2 |
| This problem occurs when the road was not defined a specific driving direction. In such situation it will not be possible to use this road for routing. This issue is resolved when a wazer drives over the segment, thus 'opening' the road direction, so there is no obligation to resolve this problem using the software. Driving directions can be defined, if desired, with the following solution.<br/>
| | |title=Traffic Events |
| | | |subtitle=Overview When a crisis occurs, Waze, our editor community, and Waze Partners work together to help people in the affected area. |
| '''Solution:'''<br/>

| Directionality should be set as follows:<br/>
| | |type=Traffic Events |
| #Select the relevant segment (or segments – if all belong to the same street and have the same direction).

| ===Scan problem number 10: Not enough allowed turns=== | | |link=High Volume Alerts |
| | | }}{{card 3 |
| The problem occurs when less than half of the potential turns in a certain junction are allowed.<br/>
| | |title=Community Growth Resources |
| Note that this problem is the standard warning and does not always require correction. There may be situations in which indeed most of the turns are not allowed.<br/>
| | |subtitle=Looking to grow your community? These resources can help! |
| | | |color=#0099FF |
| '''Solution:'''<br/>
| | }}{{card 3 |
| This problem has two types of possible solutions:
| | |title=MapRaids |
| '''First solution:''' after examining the junction and roads the conclusion is that all the turns are indeed allowed.
| | |subtitle=MapRaid is a time-limited event during which map editors join together to solve issues |
| #Select the specific problem | | |color=#0099FF |
| #On the ''Edit panel'' a ''Fix suggestion'' will appear at the bottom of the panel.
| | |link=Map Raids |
| #Choosing ''Allow all turns'' will allow all turns from every road that is connected to the junction. | | }}{{card 3 |
|
| | |title=Community Action Requests |
| '''Second option:''' A condition in which only some of the turns in the same junction are allowed:
| | |subtitle=CAR are different actions that the community leaders can request |
| #Connect the relevant road segments which allow turns from one to another (See explanation on connecting road segments in resolution of problem 6) | | |color=#0099FF |

| | | }}{{card 3 |
| ===Scan problem number 11: Roads intersecting multiple times=== | | |title=Toll Prices |
| | | |subtitle=Learn more about toll pricing here |
| This problem alerts when a certain road intersects with another road more than once. In other words, two roads have more than one intersecting point.<br/>
| | |color=#0099FF |
| This warning also does not always require a correction.<br/>
| | |link=Toll Prices |
| | | }}{{card 3 |
| '''Solution:'''<br/>
| | |title=Gas Stations |
| First check each intersection – if the intersection indeed requires a junction between the roads or in fact a bridge has to be created, meaning that there is not a real intersection between the two roads.
| | |subtitle=Learn more about searching for gas stations + gas prices |
| If there is an intersection point between the two road segments:
| | |color=#0099FF |
| #Make sure that there are allowed turns between the two roads. You can verify the allowed turns by turning on ''Highlight Connectivity'' in the ''View panel'' and highlighting the different segments of the intersection.
| | |link=Gas Stations |
| #If an allowed turn is missing from the map, allow the connection by connecting the two relevant roads (see solution to problem number 6). | | }}{{card 3 |
| | | |title=WME Feed Messages |
| If there is a bridge (over the intersection):
| | |subtitle=Champs can submit feed message requests by signing into this spreadsheet (access restricted) and filling in the required information. |
| #Choose the first road segment (in the order of driving) from one side of the intersection.

| Similar to problem number 21, this problem occurs when the tip of a particular road is not connected to another road, that is located very close to the road, only in this case there is no existing node (junction).<br/>
| | |title=SOS |
| Make sure that both roads should be connected, since the situation in real life may be two roads are adjacent but are not supposed to be connected (when one road is a dead end, for example).
