<br />
A '''partial restriction''' is entered on a segment or a turn restriction. A partial restriction is often referred to as a '''time-based restriction''' ('''TBR'''); specifically as a '''time-based segment restriction''' ('''TBSR''') or '''time-based turn restriction''' ('''TBTR'''). They are used to allow or to restrict certain vehicle types to be routed or prevented from routing on that segment or turn. The TBSR or TBTR means the segment or turn will tell the routing algorithm that some '''vehicle type(s)''' are forbidden or allowed on a segment or turn; or some or all vehicles are forbidden at '''certain times, or on certain days or dates''', or both; that certain special types of travel are allowed.<br />
<br />
Note currently only private car, taxi, motorcycle, and electric are allowed to be selected in the app; therefore restrictions preventing trucks or buses from a segment or turn do not have any effect in the app. Setting a segment to be a bus only segment will prevent any user from being routed and is the functional equivalent of a "prohibited all vehicles" restriction.<br />
<br />
Also note that all partial restrictions only have effects during their times and in their directions of validity. So if an allowed restriction is set for a certain pass in one direction, this does not mean that vehicles with this pass will be prohibited in the other direction. Likewise, if a toll free restriction is made for all vehicle types at a certain time of day, this will not cause these types to be tolled for the rest of the day.<br />
<br />
Partial restrictions are often used for bus lanes, turns that are forbidden during rush hour, segments that change direction for morning and evening rush hour, bridges and ferries that are only available during the day, and roads that are closed in winter.<br />
<br />
If a turn is forbidden on all days, dates, and times, then use [[Turn_restriction#Turn_restrictions_.28allowed_turns.29|turn restriction]]. If the segment never allows travel in that direction, then use [[Set_one-way_road#Set_Road_Type.2C_Direction.2C_and_Elevation|one-way road]] instead. If no traffic will ever be allowed to travel through an intersection, it should be disconnected. If no traffic will ever be allowed to travel on a segment, the segment should generally not be added to the map.<br />
<br />
In some cases, the turn (typically left-hand) may simply be difficult to make at certain times of the day due to uncontrolled intersections during heavy traffic periods. The difficult turn should not be installed where there is a traffic light or a dedicated left turn lane.<br />
<br />
For big road-closing events such as marathons and parades, please see [[Major Traffic Event]] For construction-related traffic closures, please see [[Real time closures]].<br />
<br />
==Overview==<br />
<br />
This article covers how to create scheduled restrictions and vehicle type restrictions. Collectively, these can be termed ''Partial restrictions.''<br />
<br />
Partial restrictions can be based on:<br />
<br />
#An entire segment controlling traffic flow for one or both directions '''TBSR'''<br />
#Specific turns from one segment to another '''TBTR'''<br />
<br />
Each of these restrictions can be further restricted based on combinations of:<br />
<br />
#Vehicle type (trucks, buses, hazardous materials, etc.)<br />
#Time of day, day of week, and date range.<br />
<br />
Examples:<br />
<br />
*No left turn 7a-9a and 4p-6p weekdays<br />
*HOV lanes eastbound 5a-11a, westbound 3p-10p<br />
*Flexible capacity lanes which are a single roadway, but run a different direction for morning and evening commutes (frequently found on congested freeways and some primary streets, sometimes with limited exit or turn options to create express traffic routes)<br />
*Interstate truck-only ramp (not used in app at this time)<br />
*No trucks allowed between 9a-3p weekends (not used in app at this time)<br />
*Vehicle towing a trailer (not used in app at this time)<br />
<br />
While this is a very flexible system, it can be a complex interface to manage the many combinations possible. It is certainly very important that any changes made to any current scheduled restrictions on the map be done with extreme caution so as not to destroy hours of work by prior map editors. Therefore be sure to only make changes to scheduled restrictions with careful consideration and patience.<br />
<br />
==Segments==<br />
<br />
===Segment restrictions===<br />
The segment restriction method changed in 2017. Some attributes changed location in the editor and some new ones were added.<br />

#Select a segment so that the name appears to the left of the map editor.<br />
#Select the yellow '''Add restrictions''' radio button (Time Based Segment Restrictions) on the left panel when the segment is selected.<br />
#It will be '''Edit restrictions(#)''' if there is already a restriction(s) on the segment.[[File:Edit Restrictions1.PNG|thumb|right|50px]]<br />
#First restriction pop-up window appears[[File:Restriction_first_popup.PNG|center|200px|border]]<br />
<br />
===First pop-up window===<br />
<br />
====Toll====<br />
There are two ways to mark toll:<br />
<br />
#Toll attribute in bottom left corner of the first TBSR popup window<br />
#Toll free restriction is enabled in second TBSR popup window<br />
<br />
For more information about toll roads, see the [[toll]] page.<br />
<br />
=====Toll attribute check box=====<br />
The toll attribute check box has moved to the first pop-up window of a segment restriction. It used to be under the segment's road type.<br />
[[File:Toll_attribute_box_checked.PNG|center|300px|border]]<br />
<br />
#Check the toll road attribute in the bottom left corner of the popup box[[File:New Toll2.PNG|right|150px|border]]<br />
#Mark a road segment as a toll segment only if the segment has a toll booth, transponder reader, or other tolling device and if no vehicles travel as toll free on that segment.<br />
#Once a segment is marked as a toll segment, then the toll attribute is displayed under the road segment name. You have to go to the TBSR to deselect the attribute.<br />
#Designating a segment as toll will prevent setting any vehicle type as toll free.<br />
#Designating a two way segment with the toll attribute will designate both directions as a toll road. Designating a one way segment with the toll attribute will designate that direction as a toll road.<br />
<br />
=====Toll by default (toll free designation)=====<br />
<br />
#If there are any vehicle types that are designated toll free on the segment, then any allowed vehicle that is not designated as toll free is assumed to pay a toll.[[File:Toll-free designation.PNG |center|300px|border]]<br />
#Note the toll free vehicle must also be considered to be allowed on the segment.[[File:Allowed private vehicles.PNG |center|300px|border]]<br />
<br />
A vehicle can be considered allowed on the segment in two ways:<br />
<br />
#If there are no vehicle types listed as allowed, then all vehicles are considered to be allowed.<br />
#If there are any allowable restrictions for vehicle type, minimum occupants, or requires a pass, then the vehicles that can travel toll free also need to meet the allowable restrictions to have the routing server consider the toll free routing.<br />
<br />
If a vehicle type does not meet the allowed section then Waze assumes it is prohibited and will not check for the vehicle’s toll free designation. In short Waze thinks the vehicle type is prohibited and it can't be routed as a toll free vehicle since it is prohibited. In the example above only private vehicles are allowed on the road segment as a toll road. Private vehicles that the user designates as HOV-2+ will be allowed to use the road toll free. All other vehicle types (taxi, electric, or motorcycle) are considered prohibited. If the private vehicle allowable restriction was not entered then any vehicle that is designated as HOV-2+ will be routed.<br />
<br />
If a vehicle type is designated as toll free why doesn't Waze just recognize that they are allowed? There are notes in the restriction popup windows that impart this knowledge.<br />
<br />
#Hover over the small blue lower case i in the toll free restriction and a black box pop-up appears that says "Vehicles must also meet all of the "Allowed" restrictions".[[File:Must_be_in_allowable.PNG|center|200px|border]]<br />
#Orange note in bottom left of '''Allowable''' restriction says "Other vehicles are restricted" (i.e. prohibited)[[File:Other_vehicles_prohibited.PNG|center|300px|border]]<br />
<br />
====Selection of direction====<br />
[[File:Restriction_first_popup.PNG|right|150px|border]]<br />
<br />
#First restriction pop-up window has three main items: <br />
#*A > B<br />
#*B > A<br />
#*Two way<br />
#Restrictions have three main '''Types'''[[File:Restriction Types.PNG|right|150px|border]]<br />
#*'''Allowable'''<br />
#*'''Toll free'''<br />
#*'''Prohibited'''<br />
#Restriction '''Types''' are added as '''Lines''' under the applicable direction(s) of travel.[[File:Restriction Lines.PNG|right|200px|border]]<br />
#*The picture to the right has three '''Lines''' of restrictions; one each of Allowed, Toll free, and Prohibited<br />
#Restriction '''Lines''' contain '''Rules''' which are partially displayed in the Summary; rules are fully described below<br />
#Click the grey '''Add new''' box under the appropriate direction for the restriction to be entered<br />
#Second restriction pop-up window appears[[File:Restriction second pop up window.PNG|center|200px|border]]<br />
<br />
Note <br />
<br />
#Each restriction '''Type''' on the first pop-up window is compared to other Types as an '''AND''' statement.<br />
#Each restriction '''Line''' on the second pop-up window (within the restriction Type) is compared to other lines in that restriction line as an '''OR''' statement.<br />
#Each restriction '''Rule''' within a single restriction '''Line''' is compared to other rules as an '''OR''' statement<br />
<br />
So for the three restriction lines in this photo:[[File:Restriction Lines.PNG|right|200px|border]]<br />
<br />
#*a) All Private vehicles are allowed as tolled vehicles<br />
#*b) Private vehicles that are HOV-2+ are allowed as toll free vehicles<br />
#*c) All vehicles are prohibited from 00-02<br />
#*d) Since HOV-2+ is a subset of private vehicles, it does not have to added as a separate allowable restriction; the allowable restriction for all private vehicles includes private vehicles and HOV-2+<br />
<br />
A vehicle is allowed as toll free, if it is a) a private vehicle AND b) a private vehicle with HOV-2+ AND c) Not being routed 00-02. <br />
A vehicle is allowed as tolled, if it is a) a private vehicle AND b) Not being routed 00-02.<br />
All vehicles are not allowed if it is 00-02.<br />
<br />
Because the restrictions only include private vehicles, any user that has selected another vehicle type, ex taxi, will not be routed on the segment. Taxis are not part of the allowed vehicles so they are assumed to be prohibited. Remember the Orange note in bottom left of Allowable restriction says "Other vehicles are restricted"? This is how that note affects routing.<br />
<br />
A user that selects avoid toll roads will not get routed here unless they signify that they are HOV-2+ (once HOV is pushed to production). They have selected to avoid toll roads, but the road is toll free if they have HOV-2+.<br />
<br />
===Second pop-up window===<br />
The second pop-up window has the label of '''Add restriction''' in the top left corner.<br />
<br />
====Second pop-up window attributes====<br />
[[File:I-66E_AM_HOV.PNG|right|200px|border]]<br />
The second line will display '''Driving both ways (N/E/S/W/NE/SE/SW/NW if one way) on [name of segment] is restricted on'''. There are several attributes that can be selected for the restriction:<br />
<br />
#Applies to<br />
#Days<br />
#Hours<br />
#Applies<br />
#Restriction '''Type'''<br />
#Additional information text box<br />
<br />
<br />
=====Applies to=====<br />
[[File:Driving is.PNG|right|200px|border]]<br />
This section has two selections portion of the segment and type of special routing.<br />
<br />
#Portion of segment selections are:<br />
#*a) Entire segment<br />
#*b) Left lane<br />
#*c) Middle lane<br />
#*d) Right lane<br />
<br />
Select the appropriate portion of the segment. Note Waze can differentiate the speed difference between the lanes on a segment for the Bus/Express/FAST/HOT/HOV lanes that are separated by a dashed line from regular lanes. This does not work for the individual lanes on a road to tell you which lane is fastest when they are all the same type of road.<br />
<br />
=====Specialty road type=====<br />
[[File:Specialty road type.PNG|right|200px|border]]<br />
This attribute is used to distinguish regular (none) road segments from <br />
<br />
#Specialty road type selections are:<br />
#*a) None<br />
#*b) Bus<br />
#*c) Express<br />
#*d) Fast<br />
#*e) HOT<br />
#*f) HOV<br />
#'''None''' is the designation for the vast majority of roads; if a road does not have a specialty designation then it is a regular road and should have '''None''' selected.<br />
#The other designations of '''Bus''', '''Express''', '''Fast''', '''Express''', '''HOT''', '''HOV''' are used based on the local usage. The specialty road type has to be selected to get the proper routing for that type of road. As of October 2017 there is no difference in the designations, but there will eventually be different voice prompts for the various types; therefore set the road up with a consistent usage based on what the locals call the road type.<br />
#For the special designations '''EVERY RESTRICTION LINE''' on the segment should have the same specialty road type designation. If you have an HOV road that has one segment in the middle that is selected as '''None''' then the algorithm will not work properly.<br />
#When multiple segments have different orientations of A>B and B>A in one selection, they may have the restrictions saved in opposite directions. This is a bug that developers are working to fix. Until it is fixed, you should carefully check each segment to ensure the restriction is in the proper direction. For one way road segments if the restriction is in the opposite direction the light orange dotted road will not be displayed; unfortunately two way road segments or one way road segments with multiple restrictions do not have a simple way to see that a restriction is in the reverse orientation.<br />
<br />
=====Days (of week)=====<br />
[[File:Days selection.PNG|right|300px|border]]Select the applicable days of the week that the restriction will be active. Use the '''Select all''' or '''Select none''' link to more quickly change all the check boxes. The default is all days of the week. Your display order for the days will depend upon your country settings in your browser and may not exactly match the image above. '''Mon-Fri''' and '''Every day''' are the most common restriction groupings in USA. <br />
<br />
=====Hours (of day)=====<br />
[[File:Clock entry.PNG|right|300px|border]]Select the applicable hours of the day that the restriction will be active. For restrictions that apply all day long, use the default setting of '''All day'''. If the restriction is for only certain periods of time during the day, then deselect the '''All day''' radio button to allow the time to be changed. You can click the hours or minutes fields to enter times directly, or click the clock icon next to the time to enable input panels. The schedule uses a 24-hour notation. The restriction will start at the beginning of the minute designated in the start block. The restriction will go till the 59th second of the minute designated; so if you state an end time of 08:00 it goes till 08:00:59. So if a posted restriction ends at 08:00 it is advisable to end the Waze restriction at 07:59; this will have the 08:00 time enacted vice carrying the restriction over for an additional minute. If the end time is selected after 23:59 then the restriction will carry over till the next day.<br />
<br />
{{:24-hour format}}<br />
<br />
For example, a schedule of 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM is entered as 10:00 to 15:00; a schedule of midnight to noon (12:00 AM to 12:00 PM) is entered as 0:00 to 12:00. A schedule of 3:00 PM to 5:00 AM is entered as 15:00 to 05:00.<br />
<br />
The time that should be entered is the local time of the road as on the local signs. The Waze server knows the local time zone and will schedule the restriction correctly.<br />
<br />
Daylight savings time is automatically accounted for as long as the Waze client app is properly set to the correct local time. <br />
<br />
======Entering midnight======<br />
<br />
If a scheduled restriction is between 8:00 PM and Midnight, then enter "20:00 - 23:59". Technically if you enter "20:00 - 00:00" it will go to 00:00:59 but is more or less an equivalent result.<br />
<br />
======Crossing midnight======<br />
<br />
If a restriction occurs only during nighttime hours and opens in the morning, e.g., restricted between 10 PM and 5 AM, then enter the From time as 22:00 and the To time as 05:00. You will notice an information box that says the restriction will end of the following day. If this restriction is only on a certain day of the week, e.g., Saturday night and Sunday night, then select the day of the week for Sat and Sun matching the ''start'' of the restriction. There is no need to include Monday because it is automatically covered. Including the Monday check box would add a third day starting at 10 PM Monday.<br />
<br />
=====Applies (to dates)=====<br />
[[File:Date selection.PNG|right|300px|border]]The default setting is '''Every week''' meaning there is no limit to the date range so as soon as you add the restriction it will be active every week until it is removed. Optionally you can select the radio button for '''Range''' of dates to limit the restriction to a certain number of days. Press the button displaying the date to display two calendars. The one one the left shows the start date and the calendar on the right shows the end date of the restriction. Note these date are inclusive meaning the restriction will include both dates (and all the ones in between) when determining the restriction. When you have selected the date range press the green '''Apply''' button. The date range is displayed in '''DD/MM/YYYY''' format. To remove the date range, simply select the '''Every week''' radio button again.<br />
<br />
Remember that the end date will consider the entire day based on any time settings also configured. If the time crosses midnight, the next day will automatically be included for that time period and so that the restriction ends at the appropriate time.<br />
<br />
=====Restriction types (Allowed/Toll free/Prohibited)=====<br />
This is where the three main '''Types''' of restrictions are selected that appear on the first pop-up window.[[File:Restriction Types.PNG|right|150px|border]]<br />
<br />
#The three Restriction '''Types''' are:<br />
#*'''Allowable'''<br />
#*'''Toll free'''<br />
#*'''Prohibited'''<br />
#Restriction '''Types''' are added as '''Lines''' under the applicable direction(s) of travel.[[File:Restriction Lines.PNG|right|200px|border]]<br />
#Restriction '''Lines''' contain '''Rules''' which are constructed here on the second pop-up window<br />
#Allowable restrictions have green backgrounds<br />
#Toll free restrictions have blue backgrounds<br />
#Prohibited restrictions have red backgrounds<br />
#Restriction '''Rules''' combine the type of vehicle, number of passengers required, and toll transponder/pass required<br />
#Remember<br />
#*a) Each restriction '''Type''' on the first pop-up window is compared to other Types as an '''AND''' statement.<br />
#*b) Each restriction '''Line''' on the second pop-up window (within the restriction Type) is compared to other lines in that restriction line as an '''OR''' statement.<br />
#*c) Each restriction '''Rule''' within a single restriction '''Line''' is compared to other rules as an '''OR''' statement<br />
#Will use a toll free restriction to go over the various '''Rule''' types<br />
#Select '''toll free''' if there are vehicles that can travel without paying a toll '''and''' there are some vehicles that have to pay a toll. If no vehicle type has to pay a toll then it is assumed that all vehicles are toll free and do not select toll free.<br />
#Note that the restriction's background color should change to blue[[File:Driving_is_allowed_for_toll_free.PNG|center|500px|border]]<br />
#There are three categories to choose from for making a '''Rule'''<br />
#*a) '''Vehicle type'''<br />
#*b) '''Minimum passengers'''<br />
#*c) '''Requires a pass'''<br />
#The categories can be selected in any order<br />
#Select the applicable '''Vehicle type''' by clicking on the '''+'''[[File:Toll free plus drop down.PNG|center|500px|border]]<br />
#'''Private car''' is added to the restriction '''Line'''[[File:Toll free plus drop down.PNG|center|500px|border]]<br />
#The vehicle type can be changed by clicking on '''Private car''' bubble[[File:HOV vehicle type drop down.PNG|center|250px|border]]<br />
#Only one vehicle type can be selected per Restriction '''Rule'''<br />
#If no vehicle type is selected then Waze defaults to have the restriction applicable to all vehicles<br />
#If there is more than one vehicle type that needs a restriction then click '''Add a new rule''' and then the '''+''' and '''Vehicle type''' till all applicable vehicles are added as a separate '''Rule''' in the one Restriction '''Line'''[[File:Three HOV rules.PNG|center|500px|border]]<br />
#Select '''Minimum passengers''' by clicking the '''+''' on the blue add restriction banner and a drop down menu will appear[[File:Toll_Free_initial_drop_down.PNG|center|500px|border]]<br />
#'''At least 2 passengers''' is added[[File:Toll_Free_Min_Pass_initial.PNG|center|500px|border]]<br />
#Select number of passengers required by clicking the '''At least 2 passengers''' and a drop down menu will appear with selections for '''At least 3 (4) passengers'''[[File:HOV min passenger drop down.PNG|center|500px|border]]<br />
#If no minimum passenger restriction is selected then Waze defaults to have the restriction applicable to vehicles with any number of occupants<br />
#Click the '''+''' again while remaining on the same restriction as the number of passengers to select '''Requires a pass'''<br />
#'''Alabama Freedom Pass''' is added to the restriction line[[File:HOV Ala Pass.PNG|center|500px|border]]<br />
#Click the '''Alabama Freedom Pass''' area and a drop down menu will appear with available companies[[File:Toll free Transponder Pass.PNG|center|200px|border]]<br />
#Select the applicable transponder/pass<br />
#If no transponder/pass is selected then Waze defaults to have the restriction applicable to all vehicles even if no transponder/pass is selected in the Navigation settings<br />
#Click '''Add''' button in bottom right corner of the second pop-up window<br />
#Click '''Apply''' button in bottom right corner of the first pop-up window<br />
#Click '''Save''' icon on the grey Waze bar<br />
#Remember for '''Toll free''' restrictions, the vehicles listed as toll free much be covered by the '''Allowable''' restrictions to have proper routing.<br />
#'''Allowable''' restrictions are set up similarly to '''Toll free''' restrictions; '''Allowable''' restrictions will have a green background[[File:Driving_is_allowed_for.PNG|center|500px|border]]<br />
#'''Prohibited''' restrictions can only select the '''Vehicle type'''[[File:Prohibited restriction.PNG|center|500px|border]]<br />
#'''Prohibited''' restrictions have a red background<br />
#'''Prohibited''' restrictions default to '''All vehicles'''<br />
#Select '''Only''' to be able to pick what vehicle type(s) will be prohibited<br />
#Note '''DO NOT''' select conflicting restrictions. For example selecting a segment as a toll road with an allowable restriction line of any vehicle with Sunpass and a prohibited restriction line for any taxi will not preform properly since there is no prioritization of restrictions. A user that has designated the vehicle is a taxi with Sunpass will meet both the allowable restriction and the prohibited restriction. Until the programming has prioritization this restriction should be written as a toll road with an allowable restriction line of any private car with Sunpass. Since the taxi is not an allowable restriction then all taxis will not be routed on the toll road. This means it does not matter whether the taxi has designated Sunpass is in the vehicle or not.<br />
<br />
====Understanding Restriction '''Line''' and '''Rule''' affects====<br />
<br />
#If there is more than one vehicle type that needs a restriction then click '''Add a new rule''' and then the '''+''' and '''Vehicle type''' till all applicable vehicles are added as a separate '''Rule''' in the one Restriction '''Line'''[[File:Three HOV rules.PNG|center|500px|border]]<br />
#In the above picture the '''Rules''' are treated as '''OR''' statements; therefore read this restriction as to be toll free on this segment you must be either "Private car" OR "Taxi" OR "Motorcycle". So any of the three vehicle types will meet the restriction. The first pop-up window looks like this:[[File:Three_HOV_rules_summary.PNG|center|500px|border]]<br />
#If you made three separate Restriction '''Lines''' with each having one '''Rule''' for "Private car"/"Taxi"/"Motorcycle], #*then you will have three separate HOV Restriction '''Lines'''. Below is a picture of one Restriction '''Line'''[[File:Single HOV restriction vehicle type.PNG|center|500px|border]]<br />
#In the above situation the '''Lines''' are treated as '''AND''' statements; therefore, read these restrictions as to be toll free on this segment you must be "Private car" AND "Taxi" AND "Motorcycle". The user must be '''ALL THREE VEHICLE TYPES''' simultaneously; since only one vehicle type can be selected at a time it is impossible to ever meet this criteria.The first pop-up window looks like this:[[File:Improper HOV Restriction Lines.PNG|center|500px|border]]<br />
#Please take a second and look at the last two examples to see how the '''OR''' and '''AND''' statements are aligned for '''Rules''' and '''Lines''' respectively.<br />
<br />
====Multiple segments====<br />
Multiple segments can be selected at once for batch editing of restrictions. Selecting multiple segments is done by clicking the segments while holding the Ctrl button (or Cmd on Mac computers). <br />
<br />
A few things to note when editing multiple segments:<br />
<br />
*Note the directionality of the segments - two neighboring segments can be with different A->B directionality. In one of them the A->B direction can be eastbound and in the other it can be westbound at the same time.<br />
*When multiple segments are selected with different restrictions set on them, they will appear in a different section of the panel under the title: 'These restrictions only apply to some of the segments selected:' Click the ‘Apply to all’ link to the right of the restriction line to propagate the restriction to all the selected segments.<br />
<br />
==Turns==<br />
<br />
Time Based Turn Restrictions (TBTRs) are used when certain turns are partially restricted from one segment to another. If the turn is always restricted for all vehicles then use a red turn restriction; TBTRs are not to be set to 24/7 for all vehicles. TBTRs are used to only restrict certain hours, days, dates, and/or certain vehicle types. <br />
<br />
===Turn restrictions===<br />
<br />
Turns are set up for traffic flow or restricting traffic are set with '''turn arrows'''—the arrows that appear at the end of a selected segment. A restricted turn is indicated by a red arrow with a red ''do not'' sign next to it (upper left arrow in picture below). A partially restricted turn (TBTR) is indicated by the yellow arrow (lower right arrow in picture below). A turn that is open (not restricted) '''to all traffic''' is indicated by a green arrow. For two way segments, there are u-turn arrows that follow the same color indications. Hover over either a green or yellow arrow and a grey box pops up with that particular turn's turn instruction override selection, the turn restriction selection, and the difficult turn attribute selection (upper right arrow in the picture below). Above the grey box is a label for turn to name of segment (if named) or "no street" (if unnamed).<br />
<br />
[[File:Lotsa turns5.png|500px|center]]<br />
<br />
===Scheduled turn restrictions===<br />
<br />
When not all times, days, dates, or vehicles are restricted from turning, you can set a scheduled turn restriction from one segment to another. Turns that are restricted to traffic during certain periods are "time based turn restrictions". Restrictions can either prohibit or allow vehicles by time, day, date, or type. <br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
====TBTR pop-up window attributes====<br />
[[File:Second TBTR Popup.PNG|right|200px|border]]<br />
The second line will display '''Turning from [original segment] to [destination segment] is restricted on'''. There are several attributes that can be selected for the restriction:<br />
<br />
#Days<br />
#Hours<br />
#Applies<br />
#Restriction '''Type'''<br />
#Additional information text box<br />
<br />
=====Days (of week)=====<br />
[[File:Days selection.PNG|right|300px|border]]Select the applicable days of the week that the restriction will be active. Use the '''Select all''' or '''Select none''' link to more quickly change all the check boxes. The default is all days of the week. Your display order for the days will depend upon your country settings in your browser and may not exactly match the image above. '''Mon-Fri''' and '''Every day''' are the most common restriction groupings in USA. <br />
<br />
=====Hours (of day)=====<br />
[[File:Clock entry.PNG|right|300px|border]]Select the applicable hours of the day that the restriction will be active. For restrictions that apply all day long, use the default setting of '''All day'''. If the restriction is for only certain periods of time during the day, then deselect the '''All day''' radio button to allow the time to be changed. You can click the hours or minutes fields to enter times directly, or click the clock icon next to the time to enable input panels. The schedule uses a 24-hour notation. The restriction will start at the beginning of the minute designated in the start block. The restriction will go till the 59th second of the minute designated; so if you state an end time of 08:00 it goes till 08:00:59. So if a posted restriction ends at 08:00 it is advisable to end the Waze restriction at 07:59; this will have the 08:00 time enacted vice carrying the restriction over for an additional minute. If the end time is selected after 23:59 then the restriction will carry over till the next day.<br />
<br />
{{:24-hour format}}<br />
<br />
For example, a schedule of 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM is entered as 10:00 to 15:00; a schedule of midnight to noon (12:00 AM to 12:00 PM) is entered as 0:00 to 12:00. A schedule of 3:00 PM to 5:00 AM is entered as 15:00 to 05:00.<br />
<br />
The time that should be entered is the local time of the road as on the local signs. The Waze server knows the local time zone and will schedule the restriction correctly.<br />
<br />
Daylight savings time is automatically accounted for as long as the Waze client app is properly set to the correct local time. <br />
<br />
======Entering midnight======<br />
<br />
If a scheduled restriction is between 8:00 PM and Midnight, then enter "20:00 - 23:59". Technically if you enter "20:00 - 00:00" it will go to 00:00:59 but is more or less an equivalent result.<br />
<br />
======Crossing midnight======<br />
<br />
If a restriction occurs only during nighttime hours and opens in the morning, e.g., restricted between 10 PM and 5 AM, then enter the From time as 22:00 and the To time as 05:00. You will notice an information box that says the restriction will end of the following day. If this restriction is only on a certain day of the week, e.g., Saturday night and Sunday night, then select the day of the week for Sat and Sun matching the ''start'' of the restriction. There is no need to include Monday because it is automatically covered. Including the Monday check box would add a third day starting at 10 PM Monday.<br />
<br />
=====Applies (to dates)=====<br />
[[File:Date selection.PNG|right|300px|border]]The default setting is '''Every week''' meaning there is no limit to the date range so as soon as you add the restriction it will be active every week until it is removed. Optionally you can select the radio button for '''Range''' of dates to limit the restriction to a certain number of days. Press the button displaying the date to display two calendars. The one one the left shows the start date and the calendar on the right shows the end date of the restriction. Note these date are inclusive meaning the restriction will include both dates (and all the ones in between) when determining the restriction. When you have selected the date range press the green '''Apply''' button. The date range is displayed in '''DD/MM/YYYY''' format. To remove the date range, simply select the '''Every week''' radio button again.<br />
<br />
Remember that the end date will consider the entire day based on any time settings also configured. If the time crosses midnight, the next day will automatically be included for that time period and so that the restriction ends at the appropriate time.<br />
<br />
=====Restriction types (Allowed/Prohibited)=====<br />
This is where the two main '''Types''' of restrictions are selected that appear on the first pop-up window.[[File:Restriction types1.PNG|right|150px|border]]<br />
<br />
#The two restriction '''Types''' displayed are:<br />
#*'''allowable'''<br />
#*'''prohibited'''<br />
#Restriction '''Types''' are added as '''Lines''' under the applicable direction of turning.[[File:TBTR lines.PNG|right|200px|border]]<br />
#Restriction '''Lines''' contain '''Rules''' which are constructed here on the second pop-up window<br />
#Allowable restrictions have green backgrounds<br />
#Prohibited restrictions have red backgrounds<br />
#Restriction '''Rules''' combine the vehicle type allowed and/or prohibited<br />
#Allowable and Prohibited rules have different ways of selecting vehicle types; most editors will use one or the other restriction type but not both.<br />
#Remember<br />
#*a) Each restriction '''Type''' on the first pop-up window is compared to other Types as an '''AND''' statement.<br />
#*b) Each restriction '''Rule''' on the second pop-up window (within the '''Allowable''' restriction Type) is compared to other vehicle type(s) in that restriction line as an '''OR''' statement.<br />
#Note that the restriction's background color should change to red for prohibited and green for allowed<br />
#Select the applicable Allowed '''Vehicle type''' by clicking on the '''+'''[[File:TBTR allowable drop down.PNG|center|500px|border]]<br />
#'''Private car''' is added to the restriction '''Line'''[[File:TBTR allowable private car.PNG|center|500px|border]]<br />
#The vehicle type can be changed by clicking on '''Private car''' bubble[[File:TBTR allowable private car drop down.PNG|center|250px|border]]<br />
#Only one vehicle type can be selected per Restriction '''Rule'''<br />
#If no vehicle type is selected then Waze defaults to have the restriction applicable to all vehicles<br />
#If there is more than one vehicle type that needs a restriction then click '''Add a new rule''' and then the '''+''' and '''Vehicle type''' till all applicable vehicles are added as a separate '''Rule''' in the one Restriction '''Line'''[[File:TBTR allowable two veh types.PNG|center|500px|border]]<br />
#Click '''Add''' button in bottom right corner of the second pop-up window<br />
#For '''Prohibited''' restrictions you get to enter one '''Rule''' and mark all the prohibited vehicle types at the same time in the same rule.[[File:TBTR prohibited.PNG|center|500px|border]]<br />
#'''Prohibited''' restrictions default to '''All vehicles'''<br />
#Select '''Only''' to be able to pick what vehicle type(s) will be prohibited<br />
#Note '''DO NOT''' select conflicting restrictions. There is no prioritization of the restrictions which is why it is advisable to only use Allowed '''OR''' Prohibited TBTRs but not both together on the same turn.<br />
#Click '''Add''' button in bottom right corner of the pop-up window<br />
#Click '''Apply''' button in bottom right corner of the TBTR summary pop-up window<br />
#Click '''Save''' icon on the grey Waze bar<br />
<br />
===Difficult turn===<br />
<br />
This setting tells the routing server to add a [[routing penalty]] to the turn, meaning when calculating the time to reach the destination, this turn will include extra time so that other routes are more likely to be selected if this turn is only marginally better than another nearby route. The user enables this option by selecting "Reduce difficult intersections" within the "Navigation" section of the "Settings".<br />
<br />
A turn can be considered difficult for many reasons including but not limited to the following:<br /><br />
<br />
:'''Heavy traffic'''<br />
:*Turn left across traffic that may be continuously flowing or fully stopped and into traffic that may also be continuously flowing or stopped.<br />
:*Turn right into traffic that may be continuously flowing or fully stopped.<br />
:'''Poor visibility'''<br />
:*Turn (left or right) into quickly moving traffic with poor visibility from:<br />
::*a crest in the road<br />
::*a sharp corner<br />
::*an obstacle<br />
<br />
A turn can be identified as difficult by '<nowiki/>'''multiple'''' drivers submitting [[URs]] or by the direct knowledge of the editor.<br />
<br />
Do not put a DT in for the following situations:<br />
<br />
#If the poor visibility turn is the only valid way into the segment (The DT will not affect routing and should be omitted)<br />
#A left/right turn at a traffic light<br />
#A left/right turn where there are stop signs at all paths of travel<br />
#A left turn where there is a dedicated left turn lane even if left turn lane is not an at-grade connector (AGC) (car is protected and if time to turn is long algorithm will pick up)<br />
<br />
Consult with your State Manager to see if there is any criteria for when to add a difficult turn. Overuse of difficult turns will significantly affect routing. Entering difficult turns on every left turn along a stretch of the road negates the attribute's intention since all have the same penalty. This would cause a much longer route with several right turns around an area to come back to the destination or have it so that each turn is equally penalized, which is the same as no turns being penalized.<br />
<br />
Some regions or states may even have typical times for difficult turns to be added during rush hour, that may be similar to a locality's no turn restrictions.<br />
<br />
====Adding/editing a difficult turn====<br />
<br />
Difficult turns are recognizable by the lined shading on either allowable turn restrictions (green arrows) or time-based turn restrictions (yellow arrows) whether through a node or a [[junction box]].<br />
[[File:DT striping TRs.PNG|center|200px|border]]<br />

This article covers creating and editing road segments. Be sure to read this whole article to ensure you fully understand all aspects of how segments operate in Waze before you start to create and edit roads on the map.<br />
<br />
==Creating a new road==<br />
If you find a road missing from the Waze map, such as a recent suburban development, follow the screenshots and instructions to add a road to Waze. The example is from Michigan, USA, and we will add the missing roads in the highlighted area:<br />
<br />
[[Image:New Road Step 01 2018.png |400px]]<br />
<br />
<br />
Zoom the map display so you can see the entire area where you need to add the road, if possible. Setting the zoom level appropriately allows you to follow the curves of the road as you draw it.<br />
<br />
There are five essential steps to add roads to the Waze map:<br />
<br />
#Draw the road.<br />
#Set or confirm the road properties.<br />
#Connect the road with junctions to existing segment(s) or another newly created segment(s).<br />
#Set allowed turns at junctions.<br />
#Save the changes.<br />
<br />
*[http://www.youtube.com/watch?&v=_Dlt7131dkc&hd=1 View a step-by-step video on how to add a road from an existing intersection]<br />
<br />
===Drawing the road===<br />
<br />
[[File:Wme roadsmenu 2018.png|left]]<nowiki> </nowiki>''Hover'' the cursor over the road menu at the top of the screen in the [[Map_Editor_Interface_and_Controls#The_Tool_Bar|toolbar]] and ''click'' '''Road'''. You can also use the [[keyboard shortcut]], which is the letter '''i''', for Insert. Move the cursor to the location you want to start drawing the road. This can be an empty location, or it can be on an existing segment where you want the intersection with this new road. The cursor has a small blue circle to indicate it is in drawing mode.<br />
<br />
When you hover over an existing segment, it highlights showing that if you click there, a junction is automatically added.<br />
<br />
[[Image:New Road Step 01 2018.png]]<br />
<br />
Move your mouse along the path of the road, following the aerial view or GPS points for the new road. Every time you ''click'', a '''[[geometry node]]''' is added, aligning your new road with your cursor movement. When you reach the end location for the new road, ''double-click'' the mouse. You exit drawing mode, and the new road displays in red to signify that it is new / changed, but unsaved. Don't worry if you made a mistake in drawing the shape of the road. Just click on the segment again and you can add, remove, or reposition geometry nodes. If you want to remove the road while drawing, you can press the ESC key on the keyboard to exit drawing mode.<br />
<br />
[[Image:New_Road_Step_02-04_2018.png]]<br />
<br />
<br />
At this point, you can save the newly added road(s) if you wish. However, the process of properly adding the road(s) is not complete. All new roads are set as 1-way, with no associated city and street name. Adding these details to the road is required before they show up in the Waze client app.<br />
<br />
'''Note''': When creating special roads like [[roundabouts]] and [[loop]]s, be sure to follow the special considerations for those roads in those linked sections.<br />
<br />
{{clear}}<br />
<br />
===Confirm the road by updating details===<br />
<br />
<br />
New road segments created via the app's "Pave road" function are not immediately displayed on the Waze app for other users. They must first have city and street names confirmed, meaning that an editor must add that information. The editor will also have to connect them to the road network to make them usable.<br />
<br />
{{Road|style=black; background-color: #FFFFEB; border-color: red; border-width: 2px; float:right;|Red<br>Roads}}<br />
In the map editor, '''<big>{{Stroke|color=red|style=color:#FFFFEB|roads are outlined in red}}</big> when city and street name properties have not been set''' (known as ''red roads'' or ''unconfirmed roads''). An editor should set the country; state (US only); city; street name; road type; and direction.<br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable" style="background:white; color:red; margin: 1em auto 1em auto" border="1" <br />
|-<br />
|Paved roads do not appear until being "touched" in the editor. This does not apply to roads created in the editor; when created in WME, roads can appear on the Waze app even if they are missing key properties.<br />
|-<br />
|}<br />
<br />
To confirm a road, select one or more segments with the mouse. You can add only one name at a time, but you can add it to multiple segments at the same time. Because of that, it is efficient to first select multiple segments that will share the same name, and then apply the name to them together. Notice below that for the first road there are now two one-way segments. This is because the second road we added has cut the original road into two segments.<br />
<br />
[[Image:WME Confirm Roads 2018.png]]<br />
<br />
[[Image:WME_General_Tab_2018.png|245px|border|right]] To edit the address details of the selected segment(s), find the phrase ''No Address'' in the upper left corner of the editor in the Address input box. "Click" on the input box. Make sure the Country and State values are correct. Next, enter the city and street name information. Sometimes, a segment is outside a municipality, or the municipality cannot be determined or is not relevant. If that is the case, then check the ''None'' box next to City. Similarly, some streets may not need a name, such as ramps, private roads, and parking lot roads. For those segments, use the ''None'' check box next to Street.<br />
<br />
Most [[Roundabouts#Creating_a_roundabout_from_an_intersection|roundabouts]] also must '''not''' have a street name. Use the ''None'' box for them. This permits proper navigation instructions for the roundabout.<br />
<br />
[[File:WME_Road_Cross_2018.png|left|border|440px]]{{clear}}<br />
For segments that exist only to connect two one-way roads (''At-grade connectors''), do not name the segment. The city name is fine if the segment is clearly inside the city limits.<br />
<br />
{{mbox<br />
| type = Important<br />
| text = When complete, click the ''Apply'' button. If you do not click the Apply button, your changes will be discarded by WME without warning when you save or click another object in the editor. Please click the Apply button as soon as you finish entering information, so you do not lose your data.}}<br />
{{clear}}<br />
<br />
===Set Road Type, Direction, and Elevation===<br />
Set each of the fields [[Road types and names|Road Type]], Direction, and [[#Elevation|Elevation]]. For neighborhood streets in these examples, Local Street (or Street depending on local area) is appropriate, they are 2-way streets and they have no roads above or below them, so elevation '''Ground''' is correct. <br />
<br />
Review the article [[determining one-way streets]] for more information on directionality. <br />
<br />
*Please be aware the the directionality type 'Unknown' does not prevent Waze from routing onto a road. 'Unknown' really means 'Undefined'. When the direction is set to 'Unknown', Waze automatically adjust the directionality of the road as Wazers drive it. This is the initial directionality of all roads after a base map import. In addition, locking the segment does not prevent the directionality from changing on 'Unknown' roads as Wazers drive it.<br />
<br />
{{Clear}}<br />
You may choose to save now, but there is one more step before the process is complete: setting the allowed turns.<br />
<br />
===Set allowed turns (connections)===<br />
<br />
[[Image:WME_New_Road_Turns_Not_Allowed_2018.png|left]] We've added our roads and confirmed them, but we haven't set the legal directions to and from this segment. In the real world, there are barriers and signs which prevent travel in a certain direction, even though the roads connect to each other. In our suburban neighborhood example, none of these blockages exist, but our screenshot shows red arrows, meaning that Waze generally won't navigate that direction from the selected segment. Click on the red arrows to turn them green, and permit navigation in that direction. This needs to be done for each segment that is added to the map, as the default setting after connecting a new segment is to disallow all turns to the new segment.<br />
{{Clear}}<br />
In situations where not all turns are allowed, click on the arrow to turn it red for the disallowed direction from that segment. <br />
<br />
[[Image:select_junction.png|right]]If all turns are allowed at a junction, the fastest way to enable all turns is by selecting the junction node and not the individual segments. ''Select'' the '''junction''' and it changes from a small black circle to a blue circle with a white border. Note that if you have already selected a segment connected to that junction, click elsewhere on the map, or hit the ESC key to deselect that segment before you can select the junction.<br />
{{Clear}}<br />
<br />
[[Image:WME_Node_Turns_2018.png|left]] The left pane shows action links for the selected junction. Depending on the current state of the junction, one or both of the links '''Allow all turns''' or '''Disallow all turns''' links appear. For example, if all turns are currently allowed, then only the '''Disallow all turns''' link appears.<br />
{{Clear}}<br />
To enable all turns at an intersection, ''click'' the '''Allow all turns''' link for the junction. Alternatively, you can use the keyboard shortcut '''w''' to allow all turns and the shortcut '''q''' to disallow all connections. A best practice when allowing all turns on a junction is to disallow all turns first, as it cleans up some legacy problems with the map.<br />
<br />
Other helpful turn arrow keyboard shortcuts are:<br />
<br />
{| class="Wikitable floatright"<br />
|'''Shift+Z''' - Toggles between: 1) showing the enabled and restricted turn arrows for the selected segment, and 2) showing all restricted turns (red arrows only) for every junction on the visible map (up to zoom level 4 or 500 ft in the lower left map legend).<br />
|[[File:Disallowed_Turns_Shortcut_1_2018.png|150px|right]]<br />
|[[File:Disallowed_Turns_Shortcut_2_2018.png|150px|right]]<br />
|}<br />
<br />
{| class="Wikitable floatright"<br />
|'''a''' - Toggles between making the turn restriction arrows directly selectable (opaque) or transparent. Transparency enables selecting objects below the arrow on the map.<br />
|[[File:WME_Arrows_Visible_2018.png|150px|right]]<br />
|[[File:WME Arrows Invisible 2018.png|150px|right]]<br />
|}<br />
{| class="Wikitable floatright"<br />
|'''s''' - Toggles between separating turn arrows so they don't overlap or leaving them overlapping. This can also be used to refresh the screen when you have toggled visibility for all restricted turns, and you are modifying turn restrictions.<br />
|[[File:ArrowSpread1_2018.png|150px|right]]<br />
|[[File:ArrowSpread2_2018.png|150px|right]]<br />
|}<br />
<br />
To see all [[keyboard shortcuts]], press the '''?''' on the keyboard.<br />
<br />
When turns or parts of a road are restricted certain times of day or days of the week, you can use the [[Partial restrictions|scheduled restrictions]] feature.<br />
<br />
As the roads connecting to each other usually allow for all turn connection / direction, it is saves a lot of time for the editor to enable “draw new roads with all turns allowed” under the [[Map_Editor_Interface_and_Controls#Left_Pane|left pane]] “settings” tab during editing process. <br />
<br />
''See the section [[Map_Editing_Quick-start_Guide#Turn_restrictions_.28allowed_turns.29|turn restrictions]] for more information on all turn arrows.''<br />
<br />
{{Clear}}<br />
<br />
===Save===<br />
If you have saved your progress or not, ''click'' the '''Save''' button (or use the '''Ctrl + s''' keyboard shortcut (Command + S on Mac)) to send all of your updates to the Waze servers for processing. After the save is complete, and if there are no errors, you are presented with a view of the final product of this process:<br />
<br />
[[Image:Finished_road_2018.JPG]]<br />
<br />
It is a good practice to save your changes often, and certainly when you get more than 10 unsaved changes pending. Sometimes you may run into a save error that you cannot determine what is wrong, and you have to '''undo''' many prior edits or remove the edit causing the issue from the history log by hovering over the '''save''' button. Saving regularly limits chances of lost work in case of unresolvable errors.<br />
<br />
==Editing existing roads==<br />
Editing an existing road segment is not very different from creating a new road. Once a road is drawn from scratch, before it is saved, all of the editing functions described here work.<br />
<br />
===Adjusting road geometry (nodes)===<br />
<br />
Adjusting road geometry is changing the shape or appearance of a road segment. Real-world roads may be realigned, or mapped roads may be in the wrong place because the data from the basemap import was wrong. Sometimes we need to realign roads to improve navigation or spoken instructions in the Waze mobile app.<br />
<br />
The instructions here, while written for an existing road segment, also apply to a new road segment you just created, but have not yet saved. The editor treats them the same.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Adjust geometry 1 2018.png|200px|right]] To start adjusting the geometry of a segment, ''click'' on it. When you hover over the highlighted segment, [[Glossary#Geometry node|geometry nodes]] (white circles outlined in blue) and [[Glossary#Geometry node|inter-geometry nodes]] (light blue dots circled in darker blue) display along the segment. Both of these are draggable so that you can reposition them wherever you need. When you drag an inter-geometry nodes from its default position half-way between two geometry nodes, it turns into a geometry node.<br />
{{Clear}}<br />
[[Image:Adjust geometry 2 2018.png|200px|right]] To delete a node, ''hover'' the cursor over a node and hit the '''d''' key on the keyboard. This only works with nodes, not inter-geometry nodes. <br />
<br />
'''Tip: Straighten segments quickly'''<br />
If you have a segment that you need to clear all the geometry node quickly, select the segment and hold down the '''d''' key. Then move the mouse pointer near the geometry nodes you want to remove. With the '''d''' key held down it will automatically delete the node when the mouse hovers over it. To stop deleting nodes, stop pressing the '''d''' key.<br />
<br />
When you have a long, straight stretch of road, and there are geometry nodes located along its length, delete these nodes, ''unless'' the node is there to change a speed limit. It simplifies the road segment if you have to adjust it later, lightens the load on the database, and makes it easier to display on the Waze client app.<br />
<br />
{{Clear}}<br />
[[Image:Adjust geometry 3 2018.png|200px|right]] When your moves are complete, save, and the segment appears in the map with the new geometry.<br />
<br />
To see these operations in action, you can [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pm8zEmlD5bo watch a video of adjusting segment geometry].{{clear}}<br />
<br />
===Junctions===<br />
Before making any change to a junction, be sure to review the [[Junction Style Guide]] for information on the best practices for creating junctions. There are many times when a junction may be drawn in a way that does not seem logical, but it is very important to the navigation engine in Waze. <br />
<br />
====Moving junctions====<br />
Moving a junction is as simple as dragging the junction to another location, however there are geometry nodes (the white circles outlined in blue when editing the segment) that might need to be moved or removed. <br />
<br />
[[Image:Fix_Junction_0_2018.png|200px|left]]First use the mouse to select the intersection of the road segments. This puts a blue circle, outlined in white, on the junction. This indicates you are moving '''all''' the segment endpoints connected to this junction. Note that if the blue circle appears transparent, it means that one of the attached road segments is locked above your editing rank, and the junction cannot be moved by you. Release the mouse button and move the mouse slightly until the cursor appears as a 4-way crossed arrow [[Image:CrossedCursor.png|24px]]. <br />
{{clear}}<br />
[[Image:Fix_Junction_1_2018.png|250px|right]]With the cursor as a crossed arrow, "click" the junction again and drag it to the desired location. The angles in the segments in this example are caused by the geometry node and need to be adjusted. It is important to position the junction in a location that is not on top of a segment. This makes it difficult to adjust the geometry nodes. (Optionally, you may "Click and Hold" when selecting the Junction Node to start moving it immediately.)<br />
{{clear}}<br />
[[Image:Fix_Junction_2_2018.png|300px|left]]The white geometry nodes outlined in blue, can be moved, removed, or added as explained in [[Creating and editing road segments#Adjusting road geometry .28nodes.29|detail above]]. Adjust them to align with the aerial views or the GPS tracks.<br />
<br />
{{clear}}<br />
=====Moving one junction onto another junction=====<br />
If two junctions are disconnected from each other, but should be joined into one junction, then dragging one of the junction nodes until it "snaps" to and connects to the other junction node will bring them together. <span style="color: red">Warning! Only use this technique if the two junctions are disconnected from each other. If there is a segment connecting the two, you could accidentally delete the segment in the process. This would also delete any traffic data and house numbers associated with the deleted segment.</span><br />
<br />
====Removing junctions with only two segments====<br />
There are times when only two segments are joined at a junction. In general this is not a problem, but it can slow down editing and it may be the source of incorrect turn restrictions and bad routing. So the best practice is to delete these junctions when found. However, it is very important to study the two segments before merging, to ensure the junction is not there for a purpose.<br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable unsortable" border="1"<br />
|-<br />
!Legitimate Reasons for Two-segment Junctions<br />
|- style="background:#FFFFFF; color:black"<br />
|{{:Necessary junctions}}<br />
<br />
|- <br />
|}<br />
<br />
Once you are certain there is no reason to have the extra junction, there are two methods to remove it. One method highlights the junction and deletes it and the second highlights the two segments and bridges them together.<br />
<br />
=====Delete key or trash can icon=====<br />
This method is the preferred method, because it enables the WME to alert you when there are legitimate differences between the segments. Using the mouse, select the junction node between the two segments. Look for the trash can icon at the upper right corner of the WME screen. If it appears press it to remove the junction. Alternatively, the Delete or Del (Fn + delete on Mac) key (not Backspace) removes the junction.<br />
<br />
Deletion of a node automatically places a geometry node at that point. If you need to remove the node, you can do so by selecting the segment and hovering the mouse over the point of the prior junction. The WME will be displaying the node and you can press the '''d''' key to remove the nodes as mentioned earlier on this page.<br />
<br />
{{mbox<br />
| type = note<br />
| text = If the trash can icon does not appear, something about those two segments is different, possibly the city name, street name, road type, direction of travel, speed limit, etc.}}<br />
<br />
=====Bridge segments=====<br />
Generally do not use this method because it has two additional side effects that are not generally desired. <br />
<br />
#It increases the elevation of the resulting single segment by one.<br />
#It disconnects any other segments at that junction point, but leaves it directly below the geometry node potentially causing automated map problems if not moved.<br />
<br />
<br /><br />
[[Image:Briding_Road_2018.JPG|left|350px]]With the mouse, select one of the segments. Then, while holding down the multi-select key ('''Control''' for Windows/Linux and '''Command''' for Mac) select the second segment. If the two segments have the same properties including direction, a small bridge icon appears above the junction. Click the bridge to merge and bridge the two segments, eliminating the junction between them. A geometry node is placed where the junction was previously located. To remove the node (if necessary), select the segment and hover the mouse near the old junction. The geometry node should be displayed. Then, press the '''d''' key to remove the unwanted node.<br />
<br />
When the segments are '''different''', the bridge icon does '''not''' appear at the junction.{{clear}}<br />
<br />
====Cut a segment to create a new junction====<br />
If it is necessary to change road information in the middle of a segment (road name, direction, city, type, or other information changes at that point), you need to create a junction at that point. One way to do this is to create a new road connected to the previous road. Begin or end the new road on the previous road to create a new junction. Then delete the new road -- the junction remains, and the previous road segment has been cut at the point where you created and deleted the road.<br />
<br />
====Allow/Disallow connections====<br />
Changing the allowed and disallowed turns in a junction follows the same procedure for controlling them when updating a road segment [[Creating and editing road segments#Set allowed turns .28connections.29|described above]].<br />
<br />
====(Re)Moving a road from a junction====<br />
The need to remove a road segment from a junction node may arise at certain points (road blocked off by subdivision, fixing errors in the junction node, etc.). When removing a road from a junction, it must be noted that the traffic data for that road segment at the junction will be removed.<br />
<br><br />
[[File:Removing_Road_from_Junction_02_2018.png|200px|right]]<br />
<br />
#Select the road you want to remove from the junction.<br />
#Hover your mouse over the segment end node (on the junction) and you will see the black 4-point arrow for moving items appear.<br />
#"Click and Hold" on the node and drag it off of the junction node.<br />
#Save your edits for the changes to take affect in the WME.<br />
<br />
<b>Note: before saving changes, the junction node will be red in color and the segment modified will be highlighted in red.</b><br />

===Updating road details===<br />
<br />
The details of a road can be entered as discussed with regard to confirming the details of a new road above. The procedure is the same for updating the details of an existing road segment.<br />
<br />
To update details, first, select the segment(s) you need to update. Click on the segment and the segment turns blue.<br />
[[Image:Segment_Select_2018_1.png]]<br />
<br />
Multiple segments may be selected by holding down the modifier key and clicking additional segments. The modifier key for Mac is the command key, for Windows the control key and for Linux the control key. Each selected segment turns blue.<br />
[[Image:Segment_Select_2018_2.png]]<br />
<br />
Once selected, if the General tab is visible on the left side of the editor.<br />
<br />
[[Image:WME General Tab 2018.png]]<br />
<br />
====Address properties====<br />
<br />
At the top of the properties toolbox are the address fields. The address fields include the street name, city name, State (currently only in the United States) and country. To edit the address details, ''click'' the '''Edit''' button (or press the 'e' shortcut key). This enables editing of fields above it.<br />
<br />
[[Image:WME_Address_Entry_2018.png]]<br />
<br />
The Country (and State) fields may be updated by selecting a different country (or state) from the dropdown selections. Selections are provided only for countries (or states) that are present on other nearby road segments.<br />
<br />
The city and street names may be updated by typing a new name. See the [[Road names|naming guidelines]] for guidance on choosing the correct street name. As a name is typed, Waze provides a list of similar names. These similar entries can be selected by clicking them. If the segment is in a location outside a city, the "None" check box should be selected and the city name left blank. If the road does not have a name, the "None" check box should be selected and street name left blank. Entries must be present for each address property. To eliminate a city name or street name the appropriate "None" boxes must be checked. When complete, ''click'' the '''Apply''' button. If no changes are to be made, ''click'' the '''Cancel''' button.<br />
<br />
If the above Address Properties are not set for a segment, the road displays as a {{Road|style=black; background-color: #FFFFEB; border-color: red|red road}}. This process is part of the road verification process to indicate in WME that the road needs these properties added. See [[Creating and editing road segments#Confirm the road by updating details|the section on confirming details]] for more information on red roads.<br />
<br />
=====Alternate street names=====<br />
The subsection '''Alternate street names:''' lists the other names associated with all currently highlighted segments. It does not isolate individual alternate names for each segment, so if you want to be sure all the highlighted segments have a specific alternate name add it all the segments. For any segments that already have the alternate name, it will not be duplicated.<br />
<br />
The hyperlink titled '''Add alternate name''' brings up two selection boxes for the City name and Street name. If the City name is not applicable, select the '''None''' check box. Enter the street name and press Apply or hit the '''Enter''' key on the keyboard. This adds that name to the currently highlighted segments.<br />
<br />
To delete an alternate street name, click the [[image:Map trash 2018.PNG]] icon next to the alternate name to be deleted. This deletes the alternate name for the highlighted segments.<br />
<br />
====Road properties====<br />

The road segment properties are below the address properties on the General Tab.<br />
<br />
=====Road type=====<br />
[[Image:Road_Type_2018.png|right|thumb]]<br />
The road type is changed by selecting the appropriate road type from the drop down box.<br />
<br />
See the [[Road types and names]] page for your country for further guidance on selecting the correct road type.<br />
<br />
{{Clear}}<br />
<br />
====={{anchor|Toll Road|Tunnel|Unpaved}}Special properties=====<br />
{{mbox|text=The 'Toll road' attribute has moved to the [[Partial restrictions]] interface.}}<br />
[[File:SpecialProperties2015.png|thumb]]<br />
<br />
*'''[[Road_types#Unpaved_check_box|Unpaved]]''' - Select for unpaved segments, see [[Road types#Unpaved check box|Road types]] for more information.<br />
*'''[[Tunnel]]''' - Select for tunnels if the segment meets the guidelines.<br />
*'''[[Headlights required]]''' - Select for segments with headlight use requirements (Level 4 required).<br />
*'''Near a carpool/HOV/bus lane''' - Select for non-restricted lanes adjacent to HOV or carpool configured lanes. See [[Partial restrictions]] for more information on HOV or carpool lanes. {{Clear}}<br />
*'''[[Road_types#Routing preference|Routing Road Type]]''' - Choices of -1, Neutral, +1 (Level 4 required). Raises or lowers the road type used in the routing server calculations. Only applicable to {{Street|Local Street}}, {{Primary Street|Primary Street}}, {{Minor Highway|Minor Highway}}, {{Major Highway|Major Highway}}, and {{Freeway|Freeway}}. {{Street|Local Street}} can only be raised (+1) since already the lowest priority of the main routable road types. Similarly {{Freeway|Freeway}} can only be lowered (-1) since already the highest priority of the main routable road types. Note {{Freeway|Freeway}} is automatically given +1 routing preference by WME after a segment is saved; but it has no effect since {{Freeway|Freeway}} is already the highest priority. Selecting this attribute locks the segment(s) for some editing attributes unless the editor is R4+. Should only be used with concurrence of the State Managers. A map comment is recommended to explain why this setting has been changed.<br />
<br />
=====Road direction=====<br />
[[Image:Road_Direction_2018.png|right|frame]]The direction of the road is changed by selecting the appropriate direction from the drop down box.<br />
<br />
If traffic may travel both ways on the road, select "Two way." If traffic may travel only one-way on the road in the direction from the [[image:ACB.png]] toward the [[image:BCB.png]] select "One way (A&rarr;B)." If traffic may travel only one-way on the road in the direction from the [[image:BCB.png]] toward the [[image:ACB.png]] select "One way (B&rarr;A)." <br />
<br />
After the road properties are saved, the direction is indicated by black arrows on the road.<br />
<br />
[[Image:OneWaySavedCB.png|center]]<br />
<br />
<br />
Base mapped roads are originally assigned the direction of unknown. When the direction is set to "Unknown", Waze automatically adjusts the directionality of the road as Wazers drive it. When editing, make every effort to determine the correct direction of the road and choose either "Two-way" or the appropriate "One-way" direction.<br />
<br />
See the article [[determining one-way streets]] for more information on determining the direction of a road as being one way or two way.<br />
<br />
=====Speed limit=====<br />
[[File:WME_SL_2018.png|right|frame]]<br />
The speed limit fields are shown for the segment. These fields should be updated with the official speed limit as shown on speed limit signs. The speed limit is shown in either km (Km/h) or miles (mp/h), depending on which unit type is selected in the [[Map_Editor_Interface_and_Controls#Settings_Tab|settings tab]].<br />
<br />
[[File:WME_Speed_Limit_Verify_2018.png|right|frame]]<br />
In some locations Waze has run a program to predict speed limits and assign the assumption to segments. When a segment has an assumed speed limit, the limit will be ignored by the app until an editor verifies it. WME displays a '''Verified''' check box next to the speed limit field. If you can verify that the speed limit shown is correct, check the Verified box. If you find it to be incorrect, replace the Waze-supplied speed limit with the correct speed limit (there is no need to check the Verified box). Either way, once you save, WME will stop displaying the Verified check box, since it is only needed until verified or corrected.<br />
{{mbox|type=caution|text=Pay attention to the units type displayed next to the speed input field (mph/kph) and be sure to adjust your settings if needed to enter the correct speed.<br />
----<br />
NOTE: The "Verified" check box will not display when multiple segments are selected, even if they have unverified speed limits.}} <br />
<br />
:'''''For more details on speed limits policies and how to enter them, see the [[Speed limits]] article.'''''<br />
{{Clear}}<br />
<br />
=====Road elevation=====<br />
{{Anchor|Elevation}}<br />
[[File:WME_Elevation_1_2018.png|right|frame]]<br />
[[File:WME_Elevation_2_2018.png|right|frame]]<br />
The Road Elevation should be changed where one road passes over another. By default, the Elevation of a segment is '''Ground''' (zero). When two segments overlap but do not actually connect in the real world, the value of Elevation for each segment must be different. This ensures that the Waze problem detection system doesn't flag the spot where two segments overlap as a location where a junction might be needed. <br />
<br />
The visual representation of the relative Road Elevation is different when viewed in the Waze Map Editor (WME) and the Client application.<br />
<br />
1. The Client App displays segment elevation based on the road type only, meaning Freeways are always on top, Major Highways are next, followed by Minor Highways, Ramps next, Primary Streets below all those, and finally Streets are at the bottom. This is the same order seen when setting the road type in the editor.<br />
<br />
2. The WME uses the Road Elevation setting to display the relative elevation of the road. It displays the road with the highest "elevation" number at the top of the visual stack and works its way down as would be expected.<br />
<br />
Although the client application does not benefit from the Road Elevation setting, it is recommended to set the Road Elevation relative to the physical mapping in the real world to enable possible future Client application updates to show the same visual representation as the WME.<br />
<br />
3. Elevation -5 is used for non-drivable roads to help ensure that the routing engine does not try to connect or route drivers from roads onto non-roads by mistake. It acts to prevent false system reporting that the roads should be connected.<br />
<br />
See [[Overpasses,_Underpasses_and_Bridges|Bridges]] for more information on elevation.<br />
<br />
=====Road lock=====<br />
[[File:WME Lock 2018.png|frame|right]]<br />
The road lock menu displays locking levels available to each individual user. In the example to the right, the level 4 editor can assign a lock level of 1, 2, 3, or 4. Once the lock level is saved, an editor of a lower level will not be able to make changes to the segment. <br />
<br />
See [[Best_map_editing_practice#Locking_Segments|Locking segments]] for more information.<br />
<br />
=====House numbers=====<br />
[[File:WME_Edit_HN_2018.png|frame|right]]<br />
The house numbers is used to create and edit house numbers for named road segments.<br />
<br />
See [[House_Numbers_in_WME|House numbers]] for more information.<br />
<br />
====Changing turn restrictions====<br />
<br />
Each intersection of two or more segments keeps track of the allowed directions you can turn from one segment to another. Changing these turn restrictions follows the same procedure as outlined above in the section on [[Creating and editing road segments#Set allowed turns .28connections.29|Set allowed turns]].<br />

This is a comprehensive reference guide to the waze map editing interface. [[Best map editing practice|Best Practices]] and [[Map Editing Quick-start Guide|tutorials for beginners]] are available in other articles. Waze Map Editor was introduced in September 19, 2011 to replace the [[Cartouche]] map editor, and has been continuously modified since. The Waze Map Editor is officially supported only on the [http://www.google.com/chrome/browser/ Chrome browser]. It may or may not work on other browsers.<br />
{{TOC limit|4}}<br />
<br />
==Starting the editor==<br />
Begin at http://www.waze.com/editor. Choose the correct part of the world from the [[#Top Bar|top bar]].<br />
<br />
[[File:WME SplashLogin.png|thumb|WME SplashLogin.png]]<br />
Either log in or choose practice Mode. <br />
===Practice mode===<br />
From the splash screen, click "practice mode". You can try out most of the features of the Waze Map Editor. WME chat will not be available. You cannot respond to map Update Requests. The edit count will not go up, and you will not be able to save.<br />
<br />
==Map editor layout==<br />
<br />
There are four main areas of the Map Editor:<br />
<div style="-webkit-column-count: 3; /* Chrome, Safari, Opera */<br />
-moz-column-count: 3; /* Firefox */<br />
column-count: 3;"><br />
#[[#Map Editor Toolbar|Toolbar]]<br />
#[[#Left Pane|Left Pane]]<br />
#[[#Map Display Area|Map display area]]<br />
#[[#Bottom Bar|Bottom Bar]]</div><br />
<br />

<br />
<br /><br />
<br />
===Map editor toolbar===<br />
<br />
[[File:WME Top Bar 2018.png | 700px]]<br />
<br />
At the top of the Waze Map Editor you will see the main toolbar. It includes the primary control buttons for the editor.<br />
====Search box====<br />
[[File:WME SearchBar 2018.png|left|300px|border]]<br />
In the wide search box, you can enter an address, city, state, country, landmark, point of interest, or a combination of those. After hitting Enter or clicking the Find button, you will either be taken to the only result or be given a list of matches (maximum of six) from which to select.<br />
<br />
For example, entering "757 Mohawk St, Columbus, OH" (''image on the left'') will center the map and drop a search marker directly on that address.<br />
<br />
[[File:WME NewYork Search 2018.png|right|border]]<br />
However, searching for "main st, new york" (''image on the right'') is less specific and therefore, will give you a list of matches from which to select. The maximum number of results for this list will be six items. <br />
{{clear}}<br />
<br />
====Map comment menu====<br />
{{further|Map comment}}<br />
Editors can now place comments to other editors directly in WME. Use this button to add an area or point comment.<br />
[[File:WME MapComment 2018.png|left|border]] Hover over this button to choose the [[File:WME MapCommentPoint 2018.png|border]] or [[File:WME MapCommentArea 2018.png|border]] button to add the comment. Use the to add information about the comment.<br />
<br />
===={{anchor|Draw Menu}}Draw places menu====<br />
{{further|Places}}<br />
[[File:WME placemenu 2018.png|left]] Hover over this button to show place categories. Hover over the place category you want, then choose the point [[File:Wme placepoint 2018.png]] or area [[File:Wme placearea 2018.png]] button to add the place. Use the [[##Left_Pane_when_a_Place_is_selected|left pane]] to change information about the place. For an area place, use [[#Geometry|geometry]] nodes of the place to change its shape. For an area place or a point place, set the [[Places#Area_placement|Entry-Exit Point]] using the menu. [[File:Wme entry-exit point 2018.png]] <br />
NOTE: At this point in time we can only set one Entry Point for a given place. A future update may allow more than one Entry Point to be entered.<br />
<br />
====Draw segments menu====<br />
Hover over this button [[File:Wme_roadsmenu_2018.png]] to choose between road types: <br />
<br />
*Road<br />

====Save button====<br />
[[File:Map save 2018.PNG|left]] [[File:Map save action 2018.PNG]] Shortcut key: {{key press|Ctrl|S}}<br />
{{clear}}<br />
The Save button serves two purposes: 1) it displays the current number of changes pending to be saved, and 2) when clicked, it saves all the current changes you have made.<br />
<br />
As you make changes, the counter in the Save button increases. Pending changes are shown in a blue superscript box. Note saving frequently is most strongly encouraged since one mistake will prevent all the others from saving. (This counter is the number of changes you've made which can be undone, NOT the number of edits you get credit for.)<br />
<br />
When the save button (or the shortcut key) is clicked, then Waze checks all the pending edits with a regression checker. If there are no problems the edits are saved and will appear in the app after the next tile update. If there are problems, then you will get an error message and may be taken to the problem segment or place. If there are multiple problems you will just get an error message. You might have to undo edits till you have removed the error if you can't find it and fix it. This is why it is recommended to not have too many pending edits when you save as you start.<br />
<br />
''Once the save operation completes successfully, you cannot Undo previous changes with the Undo button.''<br />
<br />
====Undo button====<br />
[[File:Map undo 2018.PNG|left]] Shortcut key: {{key press|Ctrl|Z}}<br />
{{clear}}<br />
The Undo button will undo the most recent unsaved change with each click.<br />
<br />
{{mbox|type=important|text=IMPORTANT: Once the Save button is clicked and the save operation is complete, the Undo button has no affect on previous changes.}}<br />
<br />
A change can be deleting a geometry node from a segment or renaming a landmark. It can also be a change to multiple objects at once. For example, if you select 25 street segments at once and change them from one-way to 2-way, that is a single change. Therefore, one click on Undo will undo that change for all 25 segments.<br />
{{clear}}<br />
<br />
====Redo button====<br />
[[File:Map_redo_2018.PNG|left]] Shortcut key: {{key press|Ctrl|Shift|Z}}<br />
{{clear}}<br />
The Redo button will re-apply the most recent save that was undone with each click.<br />
{{clear}}<br />
<br />
====Delete button====<br />
[[File:Map trash 2018.PNG|left]] Shortcut key: '''Delete {{key press|Del}}'''<br />
{{clear}}<br />
The Delete (trashcan) button will delete, or trash, any currently selected objects. If you have multiple objects selected, you will be prompted to confirm the multiple deletion. The only object you can currently delete using multi-select is segments.<br />
<br />
Objects are not actually deleted until the Save button is clicked. Once the save button is pressed, you cannot Undo any edits or deletes.<br />
{{clear}}<br />
<br />
====Layers====<br />
{{multiple image<br />

}}<br />
[[File:Wme-layers-2018.PNG|border]] There is a second drop down menu for layers, which can be accessed by clicking the "More options" link at the top of the first drop down menu. Return by clicking the "Less options" link. When the box next to the layer name is checked, then that layer is active and being displayed. There is a default [[Keyboard shortcuts|shortcut key]] defined for each layer, and to make it easy to remember, with two exceptions: The shortcut is {{key press|shift|{{color|X|lightgray}}}} (first letter of the layer name). The two exceptions are the satellite/aerial imagery, which uses the letter {{key press|<code>I</code>}} as the shortcut key for '''I'''magery, and Places which uses the letter {{key press|L}} because it was previously called '''L'''andmarks.<br />
<br />
There are expanded options for the layers as well. As shown at the bottom of this section.<br />
<br />
<br />
=====Map problems=====<br />
[[File:Problem_pin_open-low.png|left]][[File:Problem_pin_open-med.png]] [[File:Problem_pin_open-high.png]] [[File:Problem_pin_not-identified.png]] Shortcut key: '''no default'''<br />
<br />
The Waze servers are constantly analyzing driver's GPS tracks to determine when there might be a problem with the map and uses the Problems layer to alert the editors. Some types of problems tracked are missing roads, incorrect turns allowed at intersection, wrong direction of road, missing parking lot places, and reports from Waze reporting partners.<br />
<br />
You can toggle visibility of closed Map Problems by using the "Show/Hide closed" link next to the Map Problems text.<br />
<br />
See [[Map Problems in Waze Map Editor|Map problems]] for more information.<br />
<br />
<br />
=====Update requests===== <br />
[[File:Request_pin_open-low.png|left]][[File:Request_pin_open_conversation-med.png]] [[File:Request_pin_open-high.png]][[File:Request_pin_solved_conversation.png]] Shortcut key: {{key press|Shift|U}}<br />
<br />
These are user-submitted map issues while on the road or from LiveMap. This marker shows the location the user reported the issue from. The user's driven route for a distance before and after the reported location will be shown in bright green. If Waze was in navigation mode at the time of the report, then the requested route for a distance before and after the reported location will be shown in purple, with markers along the route with the turn direction given to the user.<br />
<br />
You can toggle visibility of closed Update Requests by using the "Show/Hide closed" link next to the Update Requests text when the "More Detail" expanded layer view is shown.<br />
<br />
See [[Update Requests in Waze Map Editor|Update requests]] for more information.<br />
<br />
=====Place updates=====<br />
<div style="float:left;">[[File:Wme-place-update-2018-2018.PNG]][[File:Wme-place-photo-2018-2018.PNG]][[File:Wme-place-newdetails-2018.PNG]][[File:Wme-z-flagged-2018.PNG]] <br />
<br />[[File:Wme-request-new-2018.PNG]][[File:Wme-z-flagged-2018.PNG]][[File:Wme-newdetails-accept-2018.PNG]]</div><br />
Shortcut key: {{key press|Shift|P}}<br />
<br />
The Place Updates layer shows Place Update Requests (PURs) submitted by drivers and beginning editors. When an untrusted driver or editor creates a new place or makes changes to an existing place, a Place Update Request is created. Editors of rank {{rank|placeautotrust}} or higher decide whether to accept each request. The most recent requests are a pale pink. Older requests are darker. Accepted but not-yet-saved requests are green.<br />
<br />
If an editor is modifying a place that is above his/her editing level, then it will generate the PUR for a higher level editor to review before the changes go to the map.<br />
<br />
See [[Places#Place Updates (Moderation)|Place Updates (Moderation)]] for more detail.<br />
{{clear}}<br />
<br />
<br />
=====Places=====<br />
[[File:Wme-places-2018.PNG|260px]] Shortcut key: {{key press|Shift|L}}<br />
<br />
[[Places]] are also known as POIs (Points of Interest). These can really be just about anything, but tend to be things like businesses, parks, gas stations, cemeteries, transit stations, etc. There are two types of Places: Area and Point. Point Places are for most small businesses, shops, etc. Area Places are for large stores, malls, parks, etc.<br />
<br />
See [[Places]] for more information on this topic.<br />
{{clear}}<br />
<br />
<br />
=====Roads=====<br />
[[File:Wme-roads-2018.PNG|260px]] Shortcut key: {{key press|Shift|R}}<br />
<br />
Roads are all of the streets, alleys, highways, and freeways which make up the drivable street system in Waze. Depending on the [[#Zoom Control|zoom level]], some street types are not displayed so that the map is not too cluttered.<br />
<br />
=====Road closures=====<br />
<div style="float:left; margin-right: 1ex; margin-bottom: 1ex;">[[File:Wme-closure-2018.PNG]] [[File:Wme-closure-2way-2018.PNG ]][[File:Closure_Gray_TwoWay.png ]]</div>The Road Closures layer displays a closure symbol and direction when a closure has been placed, using either a WME Closure or the client's Report > Closure feature. A red circle indicates a currently active closure. A gray circle indicates either a scheduled, but not currently active WME closure. Black arrows show the closure direction(s).<br />
<br />
App submitted closures from editors rank of R5+ go live to the map right away.<br />

=====Enforcement Cameras=====<br />
[[File:camera2false.png]] [[File:camera2true.png]] [[File:camera4false.png]] [[File:camera4true.png]] Shortcut key: {{key press|Shift|S}}<br />
<br />
Enforcement (Speed) cameras, red-light cameras, and dummy cameras are shown on this layer. Drivers can report camera location and type, and a map editor is required to confirm the existence of the camera. The precise location and direction that the camera is pointing is required before it will appear in the app. Confirmed cameras will pop up a visual and audible alert in the Waze app when approaching a speed or red light camera.<br />
<br />
Note: Cameras are locked at the editor's level who last modified or added the camera. Due to this, new R1 level editors are not able to modify cameras that have recently been modified or added by an R4 editor.<br />
<br />
See [[Cameras]] for more information.<br />

<br />
=====Satellite imagery=====<br />
[[File:Aerial_skinny.png|260px]] Shortcut key: {{key press|Shift|<code>I</code>}}<br />
<br />
Waze uses aerial and satellite photography provided by Google.<br />
<br />
=====Area managers (AM)=====<br />
[[File:Wme-area-managers-2018.PNG|260px]] Shortcut key: {{key press|Shift|A}}<br />
<br />
The Area Managers layer shows overlapping colored, named rectangles. These areas represent the areas those users have Area Manager permissions. This layer allows you to identify a user you may wish to send a PM in the forums about a specific issue you noticed in their area, but do not have rights to fix.<br />
{{clear}}<br />
<br />
====={{anchor|GPS points}}GPS tracks=====<br />
[[File:Wme-gps-points-2018.PNG|260px]] Shortcut key: {{key press|Shift|G}}<br />
<br />
This layer will show tracks from Waze users as they drive with Waze running. Waze records and plots the GPS coordinate of drivers. This layer is useful for relatively accurate placement of new or moved roads when aerial photography is not yet updated. GPS tracks appear in the map editor as colored arrows. The direction of travel for a GPS point determines its color, so that all drivers going the same direction will show their points in the same color. This makes it easier to determine errant GPS tracks, or where a road on the map doesn't follow the actual path of vehicles. [[File:Color-by-azimuth.png|right|100px]]<br />
<br />
The meaning of the colors is covered in the [[color-by-azimuth]] page.<br />
{{clear}}<br />
<br />
=====Editable areas=====<br />
[[File:Wme-editableareas-2018.PNG|260px]] Shortcut key: {{key press|Shift|E}}<br />
{{clear}}<br />
Where you can edit is determined primarily by where you have driven. [[Editing rank|Edit rights]] are initially granted within a [[Editing_rank#Rank_comparisons|one-mile radius]] of where you have driven with the Waze app running. Your editable area is shown in lighter-colored areas surrounded by a black border. Users who are Area Managers will also see their managed areas in a colored highlighted area.<br />
<br />
The editable areas based on drives are usually only available for roughly 90 days of time. These areas / drives sometimes will take a few days to show up rather than being instantaneously updated as soon as you drive in an area.<br />
<br />
See [[Waze Map Editor#Editable Area|Editable area]] for more information.<br />
{{clear}}<br />
<br />
<br />
=====Live users=====<br />
[[File:wme_live_wazer.png|left]] Shortcut key: {{key press|Shift|V}}<br />
{{clear}}<br />
The Live Users layer will display other map editors with the icon above. Editors' locations are shown in real-time.<br />
{{clear}}<br />
<br />
=====Disallowed Turns=====<br />
<br />
***Note: Image needed*** Shortcut key: {{key press|Shift|Z}}<br />
{{clear}}<br />
The Disallowed Turns layer will display all turn restrictions on the visible segments.<br />
{{clear}}<br />
<br />
=====Map Comments=====<br />
<br />
***Note: Image needed*** Shortcut key: {{key press|Shift|M}}<br />
{{clear}}<br />
The Map Comments layer will display all Map Comment items that are in the visible area. <br />
Note: This layer is very useful to have on at all times, due to important info stored in map comments.<br />
{{clear}}<br />
<br />
=====Cities=====<br />
[[File:Wme-cities-2018.PNG|260px]] Shortcut key: {{key press|shift|C}}<br />
With "More Details" and the cities layer enabled, select the "Names" item in the layers menu to show City names as selectable objects. <br />
<br />
City polygons are shown in different colors in WME. City names are shown in the Waze app within the boundaries of their polygons. Some polygon boundaries are defined by the segments which use the city in their primary address while some city polygons have been [[Duplicate cities#City Polygon Creation and Updating|locked]] (their boundaries are not affected when changes are made to segment primary addresses); city boundaries will not exactly match the edges defined by the segments. When city boundaries are incorrect or overlapped, whether due to a locked polygon or due to city names being used on the map on the wrong segments, editors refer to this as city smudging. <br />
<br />
*To change the name of a polygon in the city layer (and on all objects which use the associated city name in their primary and alternate addresses), please see [[#City selected|City selected]] and [[Smudged city#Updating the city layer|Updating the city layer]]<br />
*You can edit the city on a segment in the [[#Address box]].<br />
*Consult USA guidance on [[Road names/City names|City names]], as well as regional, state and local guidance, and always work with the local editing community on city naming/renaming projects.<br />
<br />
===Left pane===<br />
<br />
<br />
At the left side of the window is an area which is both informational and functional. Different tabs or single panes of information are displayed in this area based on whether an object is selected, the type of object and how many, which enable you to view and edit details of objects.<br />
<br />
===={{anchor|Left Pane with No object selected -- tabs}}No object selected====<br />
When no objects are selected on the map, the tabs area displays user information. The top section is always visible regardless of what is showing or displayed on the map. Map Problems and Update Requests are not considered map objects, so the tabs will display when a Map Problem or Update Request is selected, if no map object is also selected.<br />
<br />
====Drives tab====<br />
[[File:Wme-drives-2018.PNG|right|border|255px]]<br />
<!-- Copied from FAQ; consider creating a transcludable subpage for both locations -->Drives are journeys or routes that you have driven with the Waze client running. While you drive, Waze monitors your journey (recording details like location, time, speed) and transfers this information to the [[Servers]]. This data is used to validate the existing map (roads, turns, directions) and to learn average journey times.<br />
<br />
Clicking on one of the visible entries will center the map along that route and will zoom out to try and fit your entire route on the screen. Routes over about 20 miles / 30 kilometers will usually not fit on the map display all at once due to scale limitations. Use the mouse or arrow keys to pan around on the map. Parts of the route that display in red are not currently paved roads. Consider [[Map_Editor_Interface_and_Controls#Zoom_Control|zooming]] into that area to determine if a road should be added.<br />
<br />
Select the highlighted numbers at the bottom of the tab window to select older routes in date order.<br />
<br />
<!-- Copied from FAQ; consider creating a transcludable subpage for both locations -->Drives are typically processed and available for viewing in the Waze Map Editor within an hour of completing the drive. For most short drives such as commutes between home and work (under about 35 miles / 50 kilometers), you will likely find them in the editor in under 15 minutes. If the servers are bogged down, or if your drive is significantly longer (over 100 miles / 150 kilometers), these drives may take up to a week to appear. If you don't see your drive after seven (7) days, open a ticket from the [[Support]] page, Quick Help box. Use the Email link and fill out the form and submit.<br />
{{clear}}<br />
<br />
====Areas tab====<br />
[[file:Wme-areastab-2018.PNG|right]]<br />
This shows the entire [[editable area]] -- the area in which you can perform edits. Click on your editable area. The view will be centered on the editable area. If your editable area is spread out, in several sections, it may be centered between areas you can edit.<br />
<br />
{{clear}}<br />
====Events tab====<br />
The '''Events''' tab displays [[Major Traffic Event|Major Traffic Events]] for the current map display area and is where Major Traffic Events can be created or edited.{{clear}}<br />
<br />
===={{anchor|Settings_tab|Imperial|Metric}}Settings tab====<br />
[[File:Wme-settings-tab-2018.PNG|thumbnail|329px]]<small>This feature was added {{As of|January 2015|lc=y}}</small><br /><br />
To access user-preference settings in WME, click the "Settings" tab in the left pane. Options include:<br />
<br />
*'''Draw new roads as two-way''' - determines whether any new road segments you draw start as two-way or one-way<br />
*'''Draw new roads with all turns allowed''' - when new roads are drawn with a connection to a junction, the junction can have all "turns" to or from the new segment allowed or disallowed<br />
*'''Select only on empty selection''' - affects editor behavior when you select an object (road segment, junction, or place) when there is already an object(s) selected<br />
**If not checked, then clicking on an object will automatically deselect any other objects already selected. This may cause accidental deselection<br />
**If checked, you are prevented from selecting a new object if there anything is already selected. Note that multi-select mode allows you to select additional segments when segment(s) are already selected; use the {{key press|ctrl}} key for momentary multi-select, or press the {{key press|M}} keyboard shortcut to toggle multi-select mode on/off. Also note that clicking an empty spot can still cause deselection.<br />
*'''Enable fullscreen mode''' - when checked, more screen space is given to the map (removes the menu header from the top of the page). Keyboard shortcut {{key press|Shift|F}} toggles this setting.<br />
*'''Units''' - Choose between Imperial (feet/miles) or Metric (meters/kilometers)<br />

#<!-- Created by Online Image Map Editor (http://www.maschek.hu/imagemap/index) --><br />
</imagemap>The area above the tabs will show how many segments are selected, and a link to "Select Entire Street". The example graphic to the right shows what the Tabs Area looks like when multiple segments are selected.<br />
{{clear}}<br />
=====Select entire street=====<br />
[[file:select entire street 2018.png|right]]When you click the link "Select Entire Street," or use the keyboard shortcut {{key press|Ctrl|A}}, the editor will select all segments which match the current segment's primary road name (including city and state). Note that the segments are not required to be physically touching each other, and some selected segments may fall outside the currently visible area.<br />
<br />
The "Select Entire Street" link and the multiple segment ID numbers are in the images to the right.<br />
[[file:selectentirestreet_segmentID2018.png|right]]<br />
{{Clear}}<br />
<br />
=====Address box=====<br />
When you click within the address box, or press the shortcut key {{key press|E}}, the address box expands and displays more detail information, while also allowing you to make changes to the country, state (US only), city, and segment name. <br /><br />
Next is where you can add or remove any alternate street name information.<br />
An alternate name, technically referred to as a "linked street," can be used for address searches, while primary name is used in navigation instructions. Alternate names can only be added if there is already a Primary name applied to the street segment(s).<br />
<br />
Be sure to review the [[Road names/USA|naming convention used in your area]] before changing names.<br />
<br />
If you run into an extreme case where you need to rename the city name on a large number of streets. Review the article [[Smudged city]]. The end of the article includes a link to a special form for converting a mass number of segments using the help of Waze staff in the database.<br />
<br />
'''NOTE: Make sure to click the blue 'Apply' button before leaving the address modification, otherwise, your changes will not be saved!'''<br />
<br />
=====General tab=====<br />
On this tab, you can modify the road type, direction, speed limits, elevation, lock, and special properties including "unpaved" and "tunnel". Further down past a separator line are more general details about the segment(s) which is/are selected. <br />
<br />
Details on these tab settings can be found under [[Creating and editing road segments#Road Properties|Road Properties]]<br />
<br />
======Add restrictions======<br />
When you click the button titled '''Add restrictions''', or use the keyboard shortcut {{key press|T}}, WME enters the [[Scheduled Restrictions]] editing interface<br />
<br />
<u>TAKE NOTICE:</u><br />
<br />
*The '''Add restrictions''' button appears when there is one or more segments selected.<br />
*If there are restrictions which already exist on any selected segment, the button name changes to '''Edit restrictions'''.<br />
{{clear}}<br />
<br />
======Edit house numbers======<br />
When you click the button titled '''Edit House Numbers''', or use the keyboard shortcut {{key press|H}}, WME enters the [[House Numbers in WME|House Number editing interface]].<br />
<br />
<u>TAKE NOTICE:</u><br />
<br />
*The '''Edit House Numbers''' button isn't available to click when there are changes which need to be saved. The message, "Save your changes to edit house numbers" appears below the button.<br />
<br />
=====Closure tab=====<br />
On this tab, senior editors can enable closures in real time. For more information, read the [[Closures#WME_closure_feature|WME Closure Feature]] page.<br />
<br />
===={{anchor|Left Pane when a Camera is selected}}Camera selected====<br />
[[File:wme_camera_tab_speedcam.png|right]] When a camera is selected, there is a single '''General''' tab which allows you to set the alert speed for a Speed Camera, and also to approve the camera once it is placed in the correct location. Red Light Cameras only need to be placed and approved and have no speed set.<br />
{{clear}}<br />
<br />
===={{anchor|Left Pane when a Place is selected}}Place selected====<br />
<br />
{| border="0" cellpadding="2" style="background:none;"<br />
|- style="vertical-align:top;"<br />
|With a Place selected, there are three tabs: General, More Info and Photos. Under the '''General''' tab, you set the Place category(ies), give it a name, a description, and a checkbox to lock the place to prevent changes by lower ranking editors. Ensuring that place properties are set is crucial for the functionality of the app. Key items outside of the Name and Description, are the full address details and open hours.<br />
<br />
|<br />
|Below that is an address details section which displays the Place's assigned Country, State (in the US) and City. ''Click'' the '''Edit''' button to change any values and ''click'' '''Apply''' when complete:<br />

Residential Place Points (RPPs) are an important tool for helping to route drivers to specific addresses in certain cases. These RPPs are only used for addresses only, NO NAMES.<br />
<br />
Setting the proper address details will allow Waze to utilize their own internal search for landmarks which appear only in Waze and not in other search provider results.<br />

<br />
===={{anchor|Left Pane when a Gas Station is selected}}Gas station selected====<br />
<br />
[[File:WME_Gas_Station_Selected_2018.png|right|200px]]<br />
When a gas or petrol station Place is selected, the '''General''' tab is very similar to that of all Places. When '''Gas Station''' is set as the primary Category (first), then there is an additional drop-down menu to select the Brand of gas sold at this station.<br />
<br />
For the Waze application to be as useful as possible to drivers, it is important to ensure all fields of information are fully and properly completed.{{clear}}<br />
<br />
====City selected====<br />
[[File:CityRename.png|thumb|right]]When a city is selected, the city name is shown in the left pane. If you have permission to edit city names (editors of rank {{Rank|cityrename}} or higher), click on the pencil icon to edit the name, then save. Changing the city name will change the name displayed in every address (primary or alternate) of every segment and every place using that name, without editing any of the segments or places. This is because there is no change to the City ID used on any of these objects, just in the way it is spelled. Because WME does not display the City ID, this can seem a little mysterious. WME will not permit you to save a city name that matches the current spelling of another city name or englishName in the same state.<br />
===Map display area===<br />
<br />
All the layers currently selected for display show up in the map display area.<br />
<br />
There are four main component controls or displays in the corners of the map display area:<br />
<div style="-webkit-column-count: 2; /* Chrome, Safari, Opera */<br />
-moz-column-count: 2; /* Firefox */<br />

====Zoom control====<br />
[[File:Zoom Control-upd.png|left|]] <!--[[File:Zoom Control.png|left]]-->Shortcut key: {{key press|Shift|up}}, {{key press|Shift|down}}<br />
<br />
In the bottom right corner, the zoom control is one way to adjust the zoom level, or altitude, or the map display area. Clicking + will move in closer, showing more detail. Clicking - zooms out/higher and removes detail. You can also click and drag the selector in between the + and - buttons.<br />
<br />
The other methods for controlling the current zoom level are covered below in the section on [[Map Editor Interface and Controls#Working with the map|working with the map]].<br />

<br />
====Street View====<br />
<!--[[File:Wme sv lens blue.gif]]-->[[File:Wme sv lens-upd.gif]]<br />
<br />
<u>To Activate Street View</u>, drag the blue lens icon from under the zoom control to the point where you want to see the street view.<br />
<br />
As you drag the lens around the map, it will change colors to indicate the presence of street view images:<br />
<br />
*[[File:waze_sv_noview.gif]] Street View is NOT available here<br />
*[[File:waze_sv_viewavail.gif]] Street View is available here<br />
<br />
[[File:Wme streetview directional arrow.gif|right]]Drop the lens. The map display shrinks by half to make room for the street view pane on the right. The lens has an arrow to show which way street view is pointing. <br />
<br />
To spin and and zoom the image, use the pan and zoom controls in the Street view pane, or drag the pane around with the mouse and use the scroll wheel to zoom. To change the street view position, use the arrows on the street in street view, or drag the lens by its small white handle.<br />
<br />
All editing operations are still available in the map display pane, but the space for editing is smaller. If you use the house number editor, it will cover some of the street view controls; use mouse and keyboard shortcuts.<br />
<br />
[[File:WME_Street_View_2018.png|700px]]<br />

In the lower-right corner is a control showing the latitude and longitude of the mouse pointer as it moves over the map. Waze displays the coordinates in Longitude / Latitude format unlike most other mapping services.<br />
<br />
==Working with the map==<br />
===Panning and Zooming===<br />
<br />
*The keyboard shortcut {{key press|shift|F}} will hide the Waze top banner bar and put the editor into "Fullscreen Mode"<br />
*There are two ways to pan the map (move around the map)<br />
*#Click and drag -- click on an empty point in the map, hold down the mouse button, and drag the map in any direction.<br />
*#Keyboard arrow keys -- {{key press|Up}}{{key press|Down}}{{key press|left}}{{key press|Right}}<br />
*There are several ways to zoom the map:<br />
*#{{key press|shift|Up}} and {{key press|shift|down}}<br />
*#The [[#Zoom Control|zoom control]] in the map.<br />
*#Double-clicking any point on the map to zoom in one level and center the map on that point.<br />
*#Using the mouse wheel "scroll up" to zoom in and "scroll down" to zoom out.<br />
*#On Macintosh with a track pad, drag left or right.<br />
*#Hold the {{key press|Shift}} key down and then click and drag a rectangle on the map to zoom in to the rectangle<br />
<br />
[[File:WME_Shift_Zoom_2018.png|700px|center]]<br />
<br />
==Working with objects==<br />
Objects are any of the things on the map that can be selected. They include point places, junctions, segments, area places, update requests, map problems, and place update requests.<br />
===Selecting objects===<br />
====Selecting single objects====<br />
A single click on any object will select it . <br />
<br />
*Selected segments, junctions, and places are highlighted in blue. Information about these objects appears in the Left Pane.<br />
*Selected segments will show A and B labels on their '''junction nodes'''<br />
*Selected Update Requests or Map Problems remain 100% opaque! while all other objects of the same type become partly transparent.<br />
*Selected Update Requests, Map Requests, and Place Update requests display information in a dialog box.<br />
<br />
====Selecting multiple segments====<br />
Several road segments may be selected at once in order to change the properties of several segments at one time. There are several ways to select multiple segments.<br><br />
<br />
*One way is to select the first segment, then use {{key press|ctrl|click}} (Mac users:{{Key press|command|click}}) to select additional segments.<br />
*A second way is to use multi-select mode. With one or more segments selected, use the [[Keyboard shortcuts|shortcut key]] {{Key press|m}} to enter multi-select mode. {{Key press|Click}} each segment to add or subtract it from the current segment grouping. To exit multi-select mode, press {{Key press|m}} again.<br />
*To select all segments between two segments, first select a segment, then use {{key press|alt|click}} (Linux users:{{Key press|ctrl|alt|click}}) to select a second segment. WME will select all the segments in-between the first and second segments, based on the least number of segments and limited to 25 or less segments.<br />
*To select all segments within a box use {{key press|ctrl|shift|click}} (MAC users:{{Key press|command|shift|click}}) and then drag the cursor while holding the mouse button to form a box. When the mouse button is released, all the segments in the box are selected.<br />
*Segments having the same primary name (street, city, state) can be selected using the "Select entire street" function. See the description in the [[#One or more segments selected|One or more segments selected]] section for more information.<br />
<br />
===Geometry===<br />
Segments and area places have '''geometry''', which means '''shape'''. You change the geometry by adding, deleting, or moving '''geometry nodes'''. <br />
<br />
*to create a new geometry node, select the object. Hover the mouse pointer over the object to show the geometry nodes in white. Between the nodes, there will be a smaller point where a new geometry node can be created. Click and drag this point to create a geometry node.<br />
*to delete a geometry node, select the object. Hover the mouse pointer over the object to display the geometry nodes. Press and hold {{key press|d}} and hover over the geometry node to be deleted.<br />
<br />
===Moving objects===<br />
<br />
;point place<br />
:[[#Selecting single objects|select]] the point place, then click and drag to the new position and save.There is a limit on how far a place may be moved before saving. To move a place farther, make several short moves.<br />
;area place (entire area)<br />
:select the area. Click and drag the area place move handle to move the area without changing its shape.<br />
;segment nodes (end or geometry)<br />
:select the segment. Hover the pointer over the segment to display the geometry node. Click and drag either end node or any of the geometry nodes to move the ends or change the shape.<br />
;area place geometry node<br />
:select the area. Hover over the area to display the geometry nodes. Click and drag a geometry node to change the shape of the area.<br />
;junction node<br />
:select just the junction where two or more segments are connected. Click and drag the junction node. Any segment junction nodes connected to the junction will remain connected to the junction. This will change the shape of the segments.<br />
;junction node and some connected segments<br />
:multi-select several segments that connect to the same junction node. Click and drag the junction node. Only the selected segments will be dragged with the junction node. Any unselected segments will be disconnected from the node.<br />
<br />
===Joining segments===<br />
When just two segments meet at one junction node, they can be joined into one segment. But only if they have identical information in the left pane. The resulting segment will have a new segment ID. There are three ways to do this:<br />
<br />
*[[File:WME_Active_Trash_2018.png|20px]] Select the junction node only and use the trash can icon.<br />
*[[Image:WME Bridge 2018.png|20px]] Select the two segments and [[#Bridge_creator|bridge]] them. This will raise the elevation by 1.<br />
<br />
===Junction arrows===<br />
{{Anchor|Turn restrictions}}Select a segment to see all the turns leading '''out of ''' that segment, including u-turns.<br />
<br />
*[[File:Arrow Green-2.png|20px]] [[File:Wme u-turn allowed.png]] Green arrows are for allowed turns. [[File:Arrow Red-2.png|20px]] [[File:Wme u-turn restricted.png]] Red arrows (with "-" sign) are for prohibited turns. Click on the arrow to switch it from allowed to forbidden.<br />
*[[File:Arrow Red-2-question2.png|20px]]Unconfirmed or "soft" turns also have a small question mark. Click the arrow to confirm the turn.<br />
*[[File:Wme u-turn allowed hover clock.png]] Hover over a green or yellow arrow to see the turn restriction grey box. Turn instruction override instructions, time based turn restrictions, and difficult turn restrictions can be edited within the grey box.<br />
*[[File:Restriction arrow yellow mouseover.gif|20px]] [[File:Wme u-turn scheduled.png]]A yellow arrow means a time based turn restriction has already been applied.<br />
<br />
====Turn arrow tooltip====<br />
[[File:Turn_arrow_tooltip.png|right|150px]]<br />
Hovering over a junction arrow will pop up the turn arrow tooltip. Editable sections in the turn arrow tooltip include Voice prompt, Instructions, Restrictions, Switch Route(only available on junction box exit arrows), and Difficult turn.<br />
<br />
The turn arrow tooltip will move based upon the distance between the junction arrow and the edge of the WME editing area. Panning the map can be helpful if the turn arrow tooltip is covering other map objects you wish to view like segments or junction box paths.<br />

<br />
===Additional map controls===<br />
<br />
;[[Image:Node_idle.png]] {{anchor|Junction_creator}}junction creator -- creates a junction where segments merely cross<br />
:Where two segments cross each other one time at the same elevation, but are not connected to each other, select the two segments at the same time. The junction creator icon will appear. Click this icon to create a junction. The two segments will be cut into four segments, all connected to the new junction.<br />
;[[Image:Bridge_idle.png]] {{anchor|Bridge_creator}}bridge creator -- creates a "bridge" from a four-way intersection.<br />
:At any junction, select two segments with identical information. The bridge creator icon will appear. Clicking the icon will join the two selected segments into a single segment, and increase the elevation of the new segment to one more than the max elevation of the two segments which were joined. If you apply the bridge creator to a 4-segment junction, it will also join the two unselected segments, if possible.<br />

{{details|editing restrictions}}<br />
<!-- Do not cover details or combinations of restrictions in this section. It serves as an overview. If you edit this section, be sure to review the relevant information in the [[editing restrictions]] section to keep them in sync. --><br />
<br />
{{mbox|type=construction|text=This section is currently part of a larger effort to update the restrictions information across the wiki. Contact [https://www.waze.com/forum/ucp.php?i=pm&mode=compose&u=7009939 Kent Smith] for more information}}<br />
<br />
<br />
There are several types of restrictions. This is an overview of each one.<br />
<br />
;Editing area<br />
:You can only edit objects within your editing area -- this includes segments, junctions, places. This also includes closing [[map problem]]s and [[update request]]s. Your [[editing area]] includes the area you gain by driving as well as any managed areas you have been granted as an [[area manager]] or [[map raid]] participant.<br />
<br />
;Lock rank<br />
:Segments and places can be locked. You can only edit these objects if they have a lock rank less than or equal to your editor rank. You can only set turn arrows if both segments involved have a lock rank less than or equal to your editor rank. Even if a junction has a segment connected to it locked above your editing rank, you can add or remove any segment you can edit at that junction. You can set the lock rank anywhere between 1 and your editor rank on any segment or place you can edit.<br />
<br />
:;Staff place locks<br />
::Sometimes, Waze staff lock places, often in preparation for an ad campaign. The effect is as if the place is locked above the rank of all other Waze editors, but the lock is not visible in WME.<br />
<br />
:;Trusted place editor status<br />
::Editors below rank {{rank|placeautotrust}} and non-registered client users need approval from a rank {{rank|placeautotrust}} or higher editor for all places regardless of the lock rank, until they reach a trusted status. After {{rank|placeedits}} place approvals, they become trusted editors and their places no longer need approvals. Rank {{rank|placeautotrust}} and higher editors never need approval for edits to places locked at or below their rank.<br />
<br />
:;Closure locking<br />
::A segment that has a closure [[Editing_restrictions#Effects_of_locking|cannot be edited (with a few minor exceptions]] until the closure has been removed from the segment. So if a segment has a lock rank of 1 but a current closure, then it will require an editor with Real Time Closure permission for that segment to alter the closure so that a change can be made to the segment. In the USA, only rank {{rank|closure}} and higher editors can edit closures.<br />
<br />
<br />
;Closures<br />
:Editors receive permission to add and edit [[Real time closures]] (RTC) in two ways.<br />
:#'''Rank''' -- upon achieving minimum RTC rank ({{rank|closure}} in the USA), editors can add and edit Real Time Closures on any segment within their editable areas or any segment that is not locked above their rank.<br />
:#'''RTC areas'''{{anchor|RTC area}} -- In addition, editors may be granted [[RTC area]]s. Within these areas, editors can add and edit Real Time Closures on any segments, no matter the lock rank.<br />
