<br />
'''Road types''' in the United States can be divided into three categories: public roads, other drivable roads, and non-drivable roads.<br />
<br />
Public road types in Waze are determined by the FHWA functional classification of the road and, where applicable, by the highway system to which the road belongs.<br />
<br />

== {{@|Overview}} ==<br />
<br />
=== {{@|Importance of road types}} ===<br />
<br />
Road types are important for both routing and map display:<br />
# When planning a route, major roads will sometimes get priority over smaller roads.<br />
#* For longer routes, some lower road types will often be ignored outright in favor of higher-type roads.<br />
#* Since freeways are given the highest priority of all, having other high-type roads is necessary to provide viable alternatives to the routing server in case freeways are clogged with traffic.<br />
# When viewing the map, more important roads should appear at the far zoom levels. Without proper types, the zoomed out display can be misleading.<br />
# Certain [[#Other drivable roads|other drivable road types]] generate [[Routing penalties#Segment properties|transition penalties]] when a route leaves them onto a different road type.<br />
#* This can be useful for areas like [[Private Installations|private installations]] but can also cause dramatic and unexpected routing results.<br />

<br />
== {{@|Public roads}} ==<br />
Public roads are those that can be driven by anyone. Naturally, they are by far the most important roads on the Waze map.<br />
<br />
The {{Freeway}} and {{Ramp}} road types each have their own special rules. The {{Major Highway}}, {{Minor Highway}}, and {{Primary Street}} types are designated using a set of minimum criteria, as explained [[#Highways|below]].<br />
<br />
{{mbox | type = warning | text = <div style="font-size:smaller">Public roads are designated by a series of '''minimum criteria'''.<br />
<br />
If a road meets '''any one''' criterion for a type, the road must be '''at least''' that type.<br />
<br />
For example,<br />
* a county highway (Waze: at least primary street) that is classified as a principal arterial (Waze: at least major highway) would be classified in Waze as a {{Major Highway}}.<br />
* a state highway (Waze: at least minor highway) that is classified as a major collector (Waze: at least primary street) would be classified in Waze as a {{Minor Highway}}.<br />
* a locally maintained road (Waze: at least street) that is classified as an other arterial (Waze: at least minor highway) would be classified in Waze as a {{Minor Highway}}.<br />
<br />
If a road meets the criteria for multiple types, the highest of those types must be used, to satisfy every "at least" rule.</div>}}<br />
<br />
=== {{@|A hybrid system}} ===<br />
<br />
Public road types in the United States are determined through a hybrid system of FHWA functional classification and U.S., state, and sometimes county highway systems. These systems work together to create a harmonious Waze map with excellent routing characteristics. Neither of these two facets of the road type system should be considered sufficient on its own, without the other. The road type guidance has been carefully crafted to join these two systems into one single contiguous Waze road type system.<br />
<br />
==== {{@|Functional classification}} ====<br />
<br />
Functional classifications (FC) are determined using a set of criteria selected by the [[wikipedia:Federal Highway Administration|Federal Highway Administration]] (FHWA). These criteria include not only the physical attributes of the road but also efficiency of travel, number of access points, speed limits, route spacing, actual usage, and continuity. This can lead to quite different classifications for roads that appear similar. For example, a six-lane divided road in an urbanized area may be a Collector (Primary Street); a two-lane road through the middle of a town may be a principal arterial (Major Highway).<br />
<br />
Functional classification is a national standard, but functional classification maps are published by state departments of transportation. Links to functional classification maps for each state can be found on [[National resources/Functional classification|the functional classification page]].<br />
<br />
==== {{@|Highway systems}} ====<br />
<br />
The '''[[wikipedia:Interstate Highway System|Interstate Highway System]]''' (formally, the Dwight D. Eisenhower National System of Interstate and Defense Highways) is a nationwide network of freeways designated by Congress and administered by the FHWA and [[wikipedia:American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials|AASHTO]], a nationwide organization of state departments of transportation with governmental support. The system facilitates high-speed travel throughout the nation.<br />
<br />
The [[wikipedia:United States Numbered Highways|United States Numbered Highways]], or '''U.S. Highways''', system is a nationwide integrated network of roads also designated by Congress and administered by the FHWA and AASHTO. While many of the routes in this system have been superseded by the Interstate Highway System, they remain important as direct links between regions not served by the new system, and as alternatives to Interstate travel in the case of heavy traffic or incident.<br />
<br />
Each of the fifty states (along with the District of Columbia and some of the United States's overseas territories) has a numbered '''[[wikipedia:state highway|state highway]] system'''. These systems are designated and administered by their respective state legislatures and departments of transportation as statewide networks of important travel links between cities and communities of those states. The roads in these systems, while of lesser national importance, are nevertheless essential for travel within the state.<br />
<br />
In addition to their state highway systems, some states designate [[wikipedia:County highway|county routes]] which are important for travel within a county. These routes serve important functions in a short-distance capacity.<br />
<br />
=== {{@|Highways}} ===<br />
<br />
A '''highway''' is an arterial road.<br />
<br />
Highways roads are the backbone of the traffic network. They serve a dual purpose:<br />
*to carry traffic over long distances, from one city to another, and<br />
*to carry traffic from collector roads to freeways, where applicable.<br />
<br />
Several systems of numbered highways exist in the United States:<br />
*the Interstate Highway System<br />
*the United States Numbered Highways<br />
*various [[wikipedia:Numbered_highways_in_the_United_States#State_highways_and_other_similar_systems|State Highway systems]]<br />
*various County (or Parish) Highway systems, in some states<br />
<br />
Waze's definition of "highways" includes Interstate, US and state highways, but it also includes all other roads that are classified as arterial roads under the FHWA functional classification lists maintained by state governments, even though they may not be part of any numbered highway system.<br />
<br />
Functional classification of roads is determined more by how the roads are used than by how they are constructed, and the criteria are slightly different between urban and rural areas. Because of this, some urban roads may be classified as arterials and have highway types in Waze, even though they appear very similar to other non-highway roads. In using functional classification and numbered highway systems, the decision on which roads should be classified as highways rests ultimately with the governments that build and maintain the roads.<br />
<br />
Waze distinguishes three classes of highway: {{Freeway}}, {{Major Highway}}, and {{Minor Highway}}.<br />
<br />
<br />
==== Freeway {{Freeway|&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;}} {{Anchor|Fwy|freeway|fwy}} {{@||Freeway}} ====<br />
<br />
[[Image:RoadPicN.jpg|right|400px]]<br />
<br />
A '''freeway''' is a highway designed for high speed traffic, with fully controlled access over entrance to, and exit from, the highway.<br />
<br />
Freeway is the highest functional class of road.<br />
<br />
<br />
The following roads shall be classified as {{Freeway}}:<br />
*All '''Interstate Highways'''.<br />
**This includes all roads classified in FHWA's functional classification as '''Interstates'''.<br />
**This includes three-digit Interstate spurs and loops (e.g., I-610; I-585).<br />
**This includes the [[wikipedia:List of gaps in Interstate Highways#At-grade intersections and traffic lights|few grade-intersected, undivided, and/or narrow portions of the Interstate Highway System]].<br />
**This does ''not'' include Interstate Business Loops and Business Spurs (e.g., I-69 Business Loop), unless they meet the standards for Other Freeways and Expressways defined below.<br />
*Roads classified in FHWA's functional classification as '''Other Freeways and Expressways''' which meet the criteria of a [[wikipedia:controlled-access highway|controlled-access highway]]:<br />
**No at-grade crossings.<br />
**No at-grade intersections.<br />
**No direct property access.<br />
**No stop lights (except sometimes on ramps).<br />
**No stop signs.<br />
**Except at the beginning or end of the controlled-access roadway, connected to other roads exclusively by [[Limited Access Interchange Style Guide|interchanges]]:<br />
***Entrance via ramps only, typically with acceleration zones.<br />
***Exit via ramps only, typically with deceleration zones.<br />
***Note: Many freeways continue as non-controlled-access roadways; the road should be set as Freeway until the point at which access becomes non-controlled.<br />
**Note: Some states refer to this class as '''Other Freeways'''. In these states, every road in this class is a Freeway.<br />
<br />
For information on how to best layout freeways and their junctions, please review the section on [[Junction_Style_Guide#Highway.2FFreeway_Junctions|freeways]] in the [[Junction Style Guide]]. For specific guidelines in other countries refer to [[How_to_label_and_name_roads|this page for more information]].<br />
<br />
==== Major Highway {{Major Highway|&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;}} {{Anchor|Major highway|major highway|MH}} {{@||Major Highway}} ====<br />
<br />
[[Image:Maj-hwy.jpg|thumb|right|450px|A partially-limited-access roadway, or "expressway". Note the interchange to the left and the at-grade intersection to the right.]]<br />
<br />
'''Principal arterials''' are the primary routes for traveling throughout the country, from one city to another, over long distances. Many principal arterials are freeways or expressways, but many others are not.<br />
<br />
As a nationwide system, the United States Numbered Highways, or '''U.S. Highways''', system provides a direct links between regions not served by the Interstate Highway System, and as alternatives to Interstate travel in the case of heavy traffic or incident.<br />
<br />
<br />
The following roads are to be classified, at minimum, as {{Major Highway}}:<br />
*Roads classified in FHWA's functional classification as '''Principal Arterials''' or '''Other Principal Arterials'''.<br />
*Roads classified in FHWA's functional classifications as '''Other Freeways and Expressways''' ''which do not meet the criteria for Freeway''.<br />
**This includes partially-limited-access roadways (or "expressways"). These are roads that have a lot of the characteristics of freeways, but also have occasional at-grade intersections with other roads.<br />
**Note: Every partially-limited-access roadway is a Major Highway; this does not mean that every Major Highway must be partially-limited-access.<br />
**Note: "Expressway" is used as a shorthand term for partially-limited-access roads. This does not mean every road ''named'' "Expressway" is a Major Highway.<br />
**Note: Some states refer to this class as '''Other Freeways'''. In these states, every road in this class is a Freeway.<br />
*Roads in the '''United States Numbered Highways''' system (US Highways).<br />
**This includes Alternate (ALT), Bypass (BYP), Connector (CONN), Truck, and Scenic US Highways.<br />
**This does ''not'' include Business, Spur, and Loop US Highways.<br />
*Business routes (Spurs and Loops) in the Interstate Highway System (e.g., I-69 Business Loop).<br />
<br />
==== Minor Highway {{Minor Highway|&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;}} {{Anchor|Minor highway|minor highway|mH|mh}} {{@||Minor Highway}} ====<br />
<br />
'''Minor arterials''' (or '''other arterials''') are secondary routes for traveling between cities over moderately long distances. Minor or other arterials are classified in Waze as Minor Highways.<br />
<br />
Each of the fifty states (along with the District of Columbia and some of the United States's overseas territories) has a numbered '''state highway system'''. Roads in these systems are designated and selected by their respective State Departments of Transportation as part of statewide networks of important travel links between cities and communities of those states. These roads, while of lesser national importance, are nevertheless essential for travel within the state.<br />
<br />
<br />
The following roads are to be classified, at minimum, as {{Minor Highway}}:<br />
*Roads classified in FHWA's functional classification as '''Minor Arterials''' or '''Other Arterials'''.<br />
*Signed, numbered routes in '''state, D.C., and territorial highway systems'''.<br />
**This includes Alternate (ALT), Bypass (BYP), Connector (CONN), Truck, and Scenic state highways.<br />
**This includes Spur state highways when they are used to connect state highways with other state highways, US Highways, or Interstates; i.e., Spur highways which are used like Connector (CONN) highways.<br />
**This does ''not'' include Business (BUS), Loop, and other Spur state highways.<br />
*Business (BUS), Loop, and Spur US Highways.<br />
<br />
Note: Not every state highway system is the same. Some state systems may be overinclusive, whether because of differing standards or because of political corruption and pork barrel spending; as such, your state may make exceptions where some lesser state highways are better represented by the Primary Street type. Contact your regional coordinator before making these decisions.<br />
<br />
==== Ramps {{Ramp|&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;}} {{@||Ramps}} ====<br />
<br />
[[File:RoadPicN2.jpg|right|300px|RoadPicN2.jpg]] [[File:HBlue.png|right|300px|HBlue.png]]<br />
<br />
The following are to be classified as {{Ramp}}.<br />
<br />
*Roads which connect roadways to other roadways as part of an [[Limited Access Interchange Style Guide|interchange]]. This includes all freeway exits and entrances.<br />
*Roads connecting freeways and highways with [[Rest areas]], parking areas, and service plazas (e.g., "to Service Area").<br />
*Jughandles.<br />
*Median U-turn Intersection (MUTI) and "Michigan left" segments.<br />
*J-turn (RCUT/"Superstreet") segments.<br />
*Displaced Left Turn (DLT) left turn segments.<br />
<br />
The following are '''not''' to be classified as {{Ramp}}.<br />
<br />
*[[At-grade connectors]], unless they fit into one of the exceptions (see article).<br />
*Turn lanes.<br />
<br />
Ramp names do not appear on the client application map, but do appear in the text for routing directions. Entrance and exit ramps often contain a lot of text which is duplicative of roads already in the area, so this text is suppressed until the user actually needs it. This is also the reason for using the ramp type for named MUTI and jughandle segments—the text is needed for effective navigation instructions but would needlessly clutter the ramp.<br />
<br />
Information on how to lay out ramps and set the proper angles from the main road can be found in the [[Junction Style Guide]]. {{clear}}<br />
<br />
=== {{@|Streets}} ===<br />
<br />
The Street types are for local and short-distance travel. Street types are used at the beginning and end of long routes as well.<br />
<br />
<br />
==== Primary Street {{Primary Street|&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;}} {{Anchor|Primary street|primary street|PS|PS}} {{@||Primary Street}} ====<br />
<br />
'''Collectors''' are roads used with medium-low traffic densities which are used to bring traffic from local streets to arterials and vice versa. Collectors are classified in Waze as Primary Streets.<br />
<br />
Some states designate [[wikipedia:County highway|county routes]] which are important for travel within a county. These routes serve important functions in a short-distance capacity.<br />
<br />
<br />
The following roads are to be classified, at minimum, as {{Primary Street}}:<br />
*Roads classified in FHWA's functional classification as '''Major Collectors''' or '''Minor Collectors''' and paved with a hard surface.<br />
*Signed, numbered '''county routes''' (and, in Louisiana, parish routes) paved with a hard surface.<br />
*Business (BUS) and Loop state highways, and Spur state highways which are not used as connectors, paved with a hard surface.<br />
*{{Anchor|Frontage road|Frontage roads|Frontage Road|Frontage Roads}}'''[[wikipedia:Frontage road|Frontage road]]s''' which serve as the means of access between freeways/expressways and surface streets, if not otherwise classified.<br />
**Some functional classification maps are not produced in high enough detail to determine the class of frontage roads. On maps that are produced in high detail, frontage roads are almost universally classified as Major Collectors or higher.<br />
<br />
<br />
Unpaved roads – including gravel, macadam, and dirt roads – are considered on a regional basis. Check your [[Mapping resources|state page]] or contact your regional coordinator.<br />
<br />
Note: Some states or counties may designate county routes differently than others. Check your state's page for possible exceptions to this rule.<br />
{{clear}}<br />
<br />
<br />
As stated above, [[wikipedia:Frontage road|frontage road]]s should generally be set to at least {{Primary Street}}, if not marked as a higher type on a functional class map.<br />
<br />
Many frontage roads are used as "feeder roads" or "access roads", often the primary or only means of entering and exiting a freeway. Setting these to the "street" type, as has been done in the past, has the potential to invalidate good routes which use freeways and major/minor highways. To ensure that routing works, always use at least "primary street" for frontage roads that are used in this way. It may be desirable to set the entire frontage road to the same type to achieve a more contiguous map appearance.<br />

===Exceptions===<br />
<br />
If a road has a higher or lower type than what's specified in these rules, there may be a reason for it. Special rules are used to determine the road types of [[Creating and Editing a roundabout#Road type|roundabouts]] and [[At-grade connectors#How to label the connector type|at-grade connectors]].<br />
<br />
==== Routing road type ====<br />
Apart from changing the nominal road type, level {{rank|routing}} editors can also change the [[Creating and editing road segments#Special properties|routing road type]] (also known as routing preference) to one type higher or lower, which only affects [[Routing server#Changes in routes due to different route lengths|long-distance aspects]] of road type behavior while maintaining the same appearance, [[How Waze determines turn / keep / exit maneuvers#Best Continuation|best continuation]] and [[Detour Prevention Mechanisms|detour prevention behavior]] of the nominal road type. These exceptions to the rules should be reviewed with local leadership before implementation.<br />
<br />
====Continuity====<br />
[[File:35-71.png|thumb|300x300px|SR-435 has the Minor Arterial functional class , so it would normally have the Minor Highway road type in Waze. Since it is signed as the way from one Freeway (US-35) to another (I-71), its routing road type has been promoted to Major Highway, enabling the routing server to use it on routes from WV to IL. It's nominal road type remains Minor Highway to preserve appearance and detour prevention.]]<br />
[[File:M55-66.png|thumb|300x300px|These Michigan State Trunkline Highways have the Minor Arterial functional class, so they would normally have the Minor Highway road type. However, even without signage indicating their longer-distance use, they have been upgraded to Major Highway in order to be used in routes between southwestern Michigan and the Upper Peninsula.]]<br />
One common reason for a road to be set to a higher type is for the purpose of maintaining '''continuity''' between two roads with higher types. Promotion for continuity is usually indicated by signage: A certain less important road is signed as the way to get between two different more important roads.<br />
<br />
For example, a freeway exit from I-70 is signed as "Exit 142: US-40 / Gratiot", indicating that this is the intended way to get to US-40, with Principal Arterial functional class. Between the ramps and US-40 is CR-30 with Local functional class. The rules on this page would normally dictate that this road be set to Primary Street, but in long-distance routing it may be removed from consideration, or '''[[Routing server#Pruning|pruned]]'''. This can be prevented either by assigning the Major Highway type outright or by assigning the Minor Highway type with a +1 routing road type, which would cause it to be treated like a Major Highway for long-distance routing. Use of routing road type is preferable to avoid unintended side effects on the behavior and display of the road.<br />
<br />
Certain situations may require continuity upgrades even without signage to support them. Examples include but are not limited to:<br />
* Sparsely populated areas connected by long roads with lower functional class<br />
* Places where highway designations end abruptly, such as jurisdictional boundaries<br />
* Alternate routes used as detours for main highways subject to frequent or long-term closures<br />
* Urban or suburban areas in the midst of redevelopment, where functional class may be out of date<br />
* Connecting roads that may be too short to be noticed during state functional class assignment<br />
<br />
When promoting for continuity, the effective road type of the connecting road should match the ''lower'' of the two roads that it connects, similar to type selection for at-grade connectors, up to Major Highway. Since Major Highway is never pruned, there is no need to promote something to Freeway with routing road type for continuity reasons alone, and the nominal Freeway road type should only be used for controlled-access highways that meet the criteria [[#Freeway|above]].<br />
<br />
Continuity upgrades prevent Waze from pruning out valid routes, and in extreme cases they can mean the difference between getting a good route and getting no route at all.<br />
=== Unpaved checkbox [[File:Checkbox.png|50px]]===<br />
<br />
The [[FIle:Unpaved attribute.png|90px]] checkbox is an attribute that can be applied to any road type. It indicates that a road is not paved with asphalt or concrete. The unpaved attribute affects routing over drivable road types; it does not really affect non-drivable road types, since the client does not use them for routing. Based on user preference, destination, and other settings options, the Waze client may avoid routing them over otherwise drivable segments when the 'unpaved' attribute is checked. <br />
[[File:RoadPicN6.jpg|right|300px|RoadPicN6.jpg]]<br />
==== When to select the Unpaved attribute ====<br />
<br />
'''Any drivable road which is not paved with asphalt or concrete''' should have the Unpaved attribute box checked.<br />
<br />
<sub>Check your [[Mapping resources|state's page]] for details on whether there are additional guidelines for roads that are in '''''uncommonly poor condition by local standards''''' or contact your [[Regional Coordinator]] for further guidance.</sub><br />
<br />
==== User setting options for the Unpaved attribute ====<br />
This attribute has the unique property in that Waze users may select when not to be routed over unpaved road segments. Users may choose:<br />
* 'Dirt roads - Don't allow' - Avoids through-routing on all unpaved roads<br />
* 'Dirt roads - Avoid long ones' - Avoids through-routing on long unpaved roads<br />
* 'Dirt roads - Allow' - Allows through-routing that could include unpaved road(s) (i.e. ignores whether roads have the unpaved attribute checked) <br />
:''The Client still refers to these settings as "Dirt Roads", but it will be updated soon to read "Unpaved Roads". Rest assured they apply to this [[FIle:Unpaved attribute.png|90px]] attribute, and not to the {{Off-road}} type.<br />

Waze may also route using off-road segments if they appear to bypass private or fee-collection gates.<br />

[[File:Off_Road_Not_Maintained.jpg|right|300px|Off_Road_Not_Maintained.jpg]]<br />
<br />
The {{Off-road}} (formerly Dirt Road / 4x4 and Unpaved) segment type had the unique property that Waze users could ask not to be routed over it. That function has now shifted to the Unpaved attribute check box (see above).<br />
<br />
{{Off-road}} roads are typically deeply rutted with thick mud, irregularly shaped rocks, fallen trees, branches, and deep streams, creeks, or river crossings. A typical car would bottom out, get stuck, or even break an axle trying to traverse these types of road segments. The vast majority of vehicles would not be traveling down these roads. This segment type should strictly be used by a type of hard terrain/special vehicle. <br />
<br />
Any road for which high-clearance vehicles are recommended or required should be assigned the {{Off-road}} type, if it is mapped at all, regardless of its maintenance status.<br />
<br />
Currently, Waze does not plan to support a 4X4 vehicle type in the client app, but the developers have left this option for editors to map these paths, so they can be displayed on the map. They have an extremely high penalty associated with them and will not be suggested for any through routes in most ordinary circumstances.<br />

[[File:Pi gated-community1.jpg|right|300px|Pi gated-community1.jpg]]{{Private Road|Private roads}} are useful for the following situations:<br />
<br />
*Gated communities with controlled access<br />
*Schools and Universities (gates / guard)<br />
*Businesses with controlled access (gates / guard)<br />
*Campgrounds or trailer parks (designed for short term guests)<br />
<br />
However, using private roads in some of these situations may require more complex mapping as covered in the article [[Private Installations]]. Be sure to read through that article before setting a whole neighborhood to all private roads.<br />
<br />
As with {{Parking Lot Road|Parking Lot Roads}}, a route over a {{Private Road}} will incur a [[Routing penalties|transition penalty]] upon leaving it for another road type. This transition penalty keeps Waze from routing Wazers through a private area as a shortcut. Unlike {{Parking Lot Road|Parking Lot Roads}}, however, {{Private Road|Private Roads}} do not suppress automated traffic-jam detection. <br />
<br />
* Never use the {{Private Road}} type for unrestricted public roads<br />
* Do not use the {{Private Road}} type to try to force waze to route around slow (damaged or under construction) public roads. Talk to a routing expert to find out if there are any good solutions.<br />
* {{Private Road}} may be used for a public street that has a legally enforceable sign for local traffic only.<br />
* Waze handles {{Private Road|Private Roads}} similarly to how it handles {{Parking Lot Road|Parking Lot Roads}}, but not exactly the same.<br />
** Similarity: Waze routing adds a penalty to a route that goes from a {{Private Road}} segment to a segment of a different type.<br />
** Difference: Waze will highlight traffic slowdowns on {{Private Road|Private Roads}}.<br />

==== {{@|Emergency Vehicle and DOT Service Roads}} ====<br />
<br />
[[File:Emergency.jpg|right|300px|Emergency.jpg]] Limited-access service roads, such as those marked for "emergency and authorized vehicles only" should not generally be mapped, and if there is a need to map them, they should not support routing nor appear like other roads. The clearest way to do this is to map them using the {{Private Road}} type, add [[partial restrictions]] on them to prohibit routing for all times and vehicle types and include a description within the restriction to explain the reason for mapping. Another, older method also involves using the {{Private Road}} type, disconnecting the limited-access road and locking as high as possible. This is also valid. Examples of such roads include fire roads prohibited to all non-service motor vehicles, patrol roads for park service vehicles, and service cutoffs across the medians of divided highways.<br />

}}<br />
<br />
The ferry road type should only be used where a road crosses a body of water through the use of an automotive ferry. For more on how to map ferries see [[Ferries]]. The ferry road type is useful because it causes the Waze client to display a "ferry" symbol for routes that include a ferry segment. <br />
<br />
The ferry road type is treated by the [[routing server]] as a minor highway. The speed for the ferry road type is fixed at a very slow speed typical of watercraft, and not estimated from user speeds. <br />

[[File:RailroadTracksVanishingPoint.jpg|right|300px|RoadPicN11.jpg]]<br />
The railroad road type serves two purposes in Waze. First, it provides drivers with visual orientation relative to railroad and light-rail tracks. More importantly, in the common case where passenger-carrying tracks lie parallel with roads, mapping the tracks allows Waze to recognize and discard spurious speed data from people Wazing on the train. This prevents corruption of speed data for the adjacent road.{{clear}}<br />
<br />
Use the following guidelines when '''mapping''' railroad segments:<br />
* '''Do NOT''' enter a name for the railroad segment unless the tracks are historical in nature, a major landmark, or a routine destination for Wazers and your local state/regional wiki guidelines allow for such naming. The Waze app now renders railroad tracks as such so naming serves little purpose any longer. (See more below on Naming railroad segments.)<br />
* Always select "None" for the city name. This avoids [[City smudge|city smudging]].<br />
* Lock the segment at L2.<br />
* Do not map railroads below ground, as they do not serve either of the two purposes outlined above. This is especially true in urban areas where underground rail lines are common, and their appearance on the map would be confusing to drivers.<br />
* Set the elevation just as you would a drivable segment. When tracks junction a road on the ground, the Elevation should be set to Ground.<br />
* In specific circumstances, create junctions between drivable roads and railroads at grade crossings.{{ref label|rr|rr}} Otherwise, do not junction grade crossings. The resulting elevation conflicts are acceptable.<br />
* Set railroad to 2-way directionality<br />
* When mapping railroad tracks, focus on those near drivable roads.<br />
* Map rail yards simply, with one railroad segment along either edge of the yard's tracks.<br />
* Map industrial spurs only if they cross drivable roads.<br />
* Do not map '''every''' piece of parallel track, such as in sidings or yards, or industrial spurs that do not cross any roads. Your work may otherwise be seen as clutter.<br />
* Multiple parallel lines at crossings:<br />
** At most crossings, there should be only one railroad segment mapped and no more than two parallel railroads mapped at any crossing.<br />
** Parallel lines are to be at least 5m apart<br />
** In general, there is no reason to have multiple lines mapped. When not at a crossing, even four parallel lines can be easily mapped as a single railroad segment in Waze.<br />
* Keep segment lengths under 10,000 meters – the longer the segment length, the more sluggish the editor is to respond to changes.<br />
* {{Red|Do not map railroads using a drivable road type}} (streets, primary streets, etc.); it could be a hazard to human life if drivers were routed to them.<br />
<br />
<small>{{note|rr|rr}} ''Adding a junction node for a grade crossing only benefits routing if both (1) between the existing junction nodes on the drivable road on either side of the grade crossing, there is at least one destination on one side of the crossing '''and''' room for cars to back up waiting on the other; '''and''' (2) the tracks support regular, scheduled train traffic. If either of these elements is missing, adding a junction node for the grade crossing will not benefit routing and may in some cases degrade routing. If it is difficult to determine whether regular, scheduled trains use the tracks, you may assume they do if the tracks appear active and well maintained.''</small><br />
<br />
Use the following guidelines when '''naming''' railroad segments, only if allowed by your local wiki guidelines:<br />
* For urban rapid transit and light rail systems you may optionally use the name of the transit authority and the name of the line, separated by a hyphen (e.g., "MBTA - Green Line", "RTA - Riverfront Streetcar").<br />
** If a system has only one line, of course, use its name alone (e.g., "Detroit People Mover").<br />
** If multiple lines share the same track or run on parallel tracks, include all lines (e.g., "Metro Rail - Red/Purple Lines").<br />
** However, if a rapid transit system is so complex that including all line names would lead to an absurd result on some railroad segments, use the name of the system alone (e.g., "BART", "MTA") throughout the system.<br />

=== {{@|Runway/Taxiway}} ===<br />
[[File:Runways.png|right|300px]]{{Runway/Taxiway|&nbsp;}}<br />
Airport runways and private airstrips may be mapped using the Runway/Taxiway road type. The Runway/Taxiway type is for display only and must never connect to drivable road segments. If a drivable road and a runway cross, set the [[elevation]] of the road below that of the runway and ensure there is no connection. Draw each runway as a single segment and lock it to prevent lower-ranking editors from attaching a road. Do not form junctions where runways cross each other.<br />
<br />
Name each runway using the word ''Runway'' and the runway designations with the lower number first and a hyphen between runway numbers (e.g., "Runway 16R-34L".) <!-- The preferred airport identifier is the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Air_Transport_Association_airport_code IATA] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_airports 3-letter code], for example "SFO", "LAX", "JFK", etc. If the airport in question is not included in that list, use the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Civil_Aviation_Organization_airport_code ICAO] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Civil_Aviation_Organization_airport_code#Prefixes 4-letter code] instead. If the airport is not included in that list use the [http://www.faa.gov/air_traffic/publications/atpubs/lid/lidhme.htm FAA identifier]. --> For the "City" field of runway segments, check "None" to avoid any chance of [[City smudge|city smudging]]. {{clear}} <br />
<br />
Despite its title, the Runway/Taxiway road type should never be used for an aircraft taxiway because it would render the same as a runway and confuse the display. Taxiways not intended for frequent access by street vehicles should not be mapped at all with any road type. Taxiways that do commonly serve street vehicles as well as aircraft, for example at [http://www.waze.com/editor/?zoom=5&lat=38.68054&lon=-120.98836&env=usa&layers=389 fly-in communities], may be mapped as Streets provided they remain disconnected from any runway.<br />
{{clear}}<br />
<br />
== {{@|Special case roads not covered}} ==<br />
There are a number of other types of roadways and lane types which are not directly covered with the current options above. In some cases there are plans to add some of these special cases, but in the mean time the following guidelines are the best that can be done with the current settings.<br />
<br />
<br />
=== {{@|Bus or taxi only lanes}} ===<br />
When a road or lane is designated for bus or taxi use only, mark that road segment(s) with an allowed time based segment restriction for bus and/or taxi. The entire segment, right lane, center lane, or middle lane can be selected as appropriate on the second pop up window of the time based segment restriction. This will prevent the Waze router from using that segment(s) for general traffic, since the majority of the users will not be able to use that lane. It will only route if the taxi or bus type of vehicle is set in the user's settings. (Taxi is currently available but bus is a potential future selection). Set the turn restrictions as appropriate for the legal usage by taxi and/or bus vehicles.<br />
<br />
Change the road segment(s) to the proper road type based on the functional classification and the Waze correlation table. A {{Private Road|Private Road}} segment is '''no longer required'''.<br />
<br />
If a road is one-way, but allows bus or taxi traffic to flow the other direction, leave the road as one-way with the normal flow of traffic, add the time based segment restriction for the Bus and/or Taxi in the appropriate direction. There is no need to create a second road traveling the opposite direction for the bus and taxi-only traffic.<br />
<br />
=== {{@|Driveways}} ===<br />
Many residents of urban communities have very short driveways between the named road that they live on and the garage or carport on their property. In general these very short segments should not be mapped, because they have no name, would clutter the map in the client app, take a lot of time to draw, and would greatly increase the overall size of the Waze mapping database with very little return.<br />
<br />
In the case of very long driveways, it may be helpful to a driver to see the driveway mapped on the client app or even necessary for Waze to determine how to reach the destination. In those cases it may be prudent to add a road. See the article on [[Driveways]] for more information.<br />

<br />
A somewhat simplified description of this is covered in the [[Junction Style Guide|Junction Style Guide]]. Additional routing information is covered in the article [[Routing server]].<br />
<br />
The original text provided by Waze staff which inspired this page was proven slightly inaccurate, and was difficult to comprehend it was replaced on 06/22/2014.<br />
<br />
A simplified easy to understand interactive version of this page is [[Interactive junction instruction algorithm|available here]].<br />
<br />
== Definitions ==<br />
<br />
To better be able to put the algorithm into words, we have to name each of the road segments that connect to a junction. These are ''subjective names'', they are relative to which segment the junction is being approached from, and which segment the routing server wants to navigate to after passing through the junction.<br />
<br />
Start with the junction in the middle. <br />
<br />
*'''s-in: '''The segment the vehicle is on as it approaches the junction will be called '''s-in'''.<br />
*'''s-out: '''The segment the vehicle is being routed onto after it passes through the junction will be called '''s-out'''. This can be any of the other segments connected to the junction, which will also be one of the segments named below as s1, s2, ... etc..<br />
*'''s1, s2, s3, s4, etc.: '''All the segments connected to the same junction, (including s-out) will each be named consecutively as '''s1, s2, etc., '''''for as many segments as there are'''''… sN'''. One of these numbered segments will also be s-out.<br />
*'''Best Continuation: '''One of the segments leaving the junction will be considered the 'Best Continuation'. This is the segment that Waze determines is what drivers would consider the "no turning path" or "going straight" through the intersection. This segment will get a 'continue' instruction, which is ignored by the client app. The criteria Waze uses to determine which segment is the 'Best Continuation' is explained below.<br />
*'''Primary road:''' refers to a highway segment ({{Freeway}}, {{Major Highway}}, or {{Minor Highway}}), not a {{Primary Street}}.<br />
{{Anchor|Angle}}[[File:Turn angle geonode.png|300px|thumbnail|right]]<br />
*The '''angle''' is the angle from the origin to the destination. A perfectly straight road with a junction in the middle would have a turn angle of 0°. The angle then gets wider as you turn to either side. A perfect left or right turn would be 90°. A U-turn at a junction between two segments would represent a 180° turn.<br>(A turn less than {{:How_Waze_determines_turn_/_keep_/_exit_maneuvers/Stay threshold}} will give a keep/stay instruction, vs. a turn more than {{:How_Waze_determines_turn_/_keep_/_exit_maneuvers/Turn threshold}} which gives a turn instruction.)<br />
**In technical terms: The angle between the linear segment between the last geometry node of s-in and the junction and the linear segment between the junction and the first geometry node of sN is the supplementary angle to the angle of sN.<br />

<br />
== Best Continuation ==<br />
{{anchor|What_is_the_.27best_continuation.27.3F}}<br />
<br />
In order to determine if s-out is the 'real' continuation of s-in, Waze does the following:<br />
<br />
:If the angle between s-in and s-out is less than {{:How_Waze_determines_turn_/_keep_/_exit_maneuvers/Stay threshold}}, it is selected as the real continuation, unless one of the following are present.<br />
:*There is another segment (s1, s2, ...sN) with an angle less than {{:How_Waze_determines_turn_/_keep_/_exit_maneuvers/Stay threshold}} which has a better matching segment name & segment type to s-in than s-out does. (e.g. it has the same segment name and type as s-in and s-out doesn't; it has the same segment name as s-in and s-out doesn't; it has the same segment type as s-in, and s-out doesn't.) Segment name is more important than segment type.<br />
{{Mbox|type=caution|text={{As of|2015|05}} This algorithm was changed to also factor in alternate names. '''All names are considered equally without any hierarchy'''. Any time the algorithm looks for a name match, it can be between any name; primary or alternate of the segments.<br />
<br />
This means a primary name match, an alternate name match, and a cross name match are all treated equally by this algorithm.<br />

:*There is another segment (s1, s2, ...sN) with an angle less than {{:How_Waze_determines_turn_/_keep_/_exit_maneuvers/Stay threshold}} which has the same segment name & segment type as s-out.<br />
<br />
If a 'best continuation' is determined, Waze will not give an instruction going onto that segment.<br />
<br />
[[File:Best continuation.png|border|center|700px|Flowchart defining the steps the algorithm runs through.]]<br />
<br />
=== Exceptions ===<br />
<br />
A junction with more than one segment leaving it at an angle less than {{:How_Waze_determines_turn_/_keep_/_exit_maneuvers/Stay threshold}} can give an instruction to '''all''' the segments, or '''none''' of the segments. Some of these scenarios are listed below:<br />
* If, of all the segments leading out at less than {{:How_Waze_determines_turn_/_keep_/_exit_maneuvers/Stay threshold}}, no one segment is a better match than any other for name or segment type, all segments will all get instructions. This applies even if one of those has a departure angle of 0° from s-in. (This is also touched upon in the [[Junction_Style_Guide/Interchanges#Wayfinders|wayfinder section]].)<br />
*There will '''not always''' be a ''best continuation''.<br />
**When s-out has the same segment name and segment type as s-in, but another s-N also has the same segment name and type as s-in, neither will be considered the ''best continuation''.<br />
*A segment (s1, s2, ...sN) leaving the junction at less than a {{:How_Waze_determines_turn_/_keep_/_exit_maneuvers/Stay threshold}} angle, which has the turn into it from s-in [[Turn restrictions#Turn restrictions .28allowed turns.29|restricted]] in [[Waze Map Editor|WME]] will not be considered in this algorithm as a 'best continuation', or as a sN, even if it has a departure angle of 0° from s-in.<br />
*A segment with no name (the "none" check-box for street name is checked) is considered to have "no-name" as a name for the Best Continuation algorithm. So two segments with no name, will be considered to have identical names, even if they would inherit different names for TTS.<br />
<br />
== The algorithm ==<br />
{{anchor|The_algorithm_.2F_list_of_conditions}}<br />
<br />
The description below fits a right turn in a [[Right-hand traffic]] country (e.g. the USA). Left turns are symmetrical to right turns.<br />
<br />
The algorithm iterates over a list of conditions. As soon as a condition is met, the relevant instruction is determined, and the algorithm terminates.<br />
<br />
=== The list of conditions ===<br />
<br />
# If the angle between s-in and s-out is greater than 169°, the instruction is: ''''Make a U-turn''''.<br />
#If the junction has only 2 segments, the instruction is: ''''CONTINUE''''.<br><u>''By design the client does not give this instruction.''</u> <!--This is mentioned in [[Update_Requests_in_Waze_Map_Editor#Driven_and_Requested_Routes]] --><br />
#If s-out is determined to be the best continuation of s-in (see explanation on 'best continuation' above), the instruction is: ''''CONTINUE'''', which implies that the driver is not turning (i.e., going straight through the junction).<br><u>''By design the client does not give this instruction.''</u> <!--This is mentioned in [[Update_Requests_in_Waze_Map_Editor#Driven_and_Requested_Routes]] --><br />
#If the angle between s-out and a straight line is larger than 45 degrees, the instruction is: ''''TURN RIGHT''''.<br />
#*This is because we assume that on primary roads ({{Freeway|freeways}}, {{Major Highway|major highways}}, and {{Minor Highway|minor highways}}), turn angles are less than 45 degrees (no sharp turns on higher-throughput roads). Therefore, you never have something called an "exit" that has such an angle, and the instruction should be TURN, not EXIT.<br />
#If s-in is a primary road ({{Freeway|FW}}, {{Major Highway|MH}}, {{Minor Highway|mH}}) and s-out is not a primary road ({{Freeway|FW}}, {{Major Highway|MH}}, {{Minor Highway|mH}}), the instruction is: ''''EXIT RIGHT''''.<br />
#If s-in is a {{ramp|ramp/exit}} and s-out is neither a primary road ({{Freeway|FW}}, {{Major Highway|MH}}, {{Minor Highway|mH}}), nor a {{ramp|ramp/exit}}, the instruction is: ''''EXIT RIGHT''''.<br />
#*'''NOTE: in a [[RHT|RHT country]] there is no EXIT LEFT, in a [[LHT|LHT country]] there is no EXIT RIGHT.<br />
#If none of the above conditions are met, the instruction is: ''''KEEP RIGHT''''.<br />
<br />
=== Graphic flowchart ===<br />
This is a static graphic flowchart starting from a junction point and flowing through (all) the possible configuration options, to hopefully cover any scenario. It culminates in all the possible navigation instructions. This chart includes [[Roundabout#Understanding_navigation_instructions|roundabouts]], [[LHT|Left Hand Traffic]], and [[RHT|Right Hand Traffic]]. For an interactive version with more descriptions and illustrations see the [[Interactive junction instruction algorithm|interactive page]].<br />
[[File:Turn algorithm flowchart.png|700px|thumb|center|Graphic flowchart for algorithm how waze determines turn, keep, and exit instructions. For Junctions, and roundabouts. ''(click to enlarge)'']]<br />
<br />
== Special considerations ==<br />
{{anchor|T_junctions_and_one_way_roads}}<br />
<br />
*The direction of a turn which is less than {{:How_Waze_determines_turn_/_keep_/_exit_maneuvers/Stay threshold}} is measured relative to the other segments at the junction less than {{:How_Waze_determines_turn_/_keep_/_exit_maneuvers/Stay threshold}}.<br />
**A junction with two segments that are less than {{:How_Waze_determines_turn_/_keep_/_exit_maneuvers/Stay threshold}} will give a KEEP RIGHT to the right branch, even if it is to the left of a straight line.<br />
<br />
*When there are more than two segments less than {{:How_Waze_determines_turn_/_keep_/_exit_maneuvers/Stay threshold}}, only the left most segment will be KEEP LEFT, all the rest will be KEEP RIGHT.<br />
**If the left most segment is overlapping another segment, it will also be KEEP RIGHT.<br />
<br />
*If the only two segments less than {{:How_Waze_determines_turn_/_keep_/_exit_maneuvers/Stay threshold}} overlap each other, neither will get an instruction.<br />
<br />
*In some cases, a junction node could have more than two segments, but the routing server will only consider two of them as valid and therefore, the maneuver will be 'Continue straight'. This happens when turns into some of the segments are [[Turn restrictions#Turn restrictions .28allowed turns.29|restricted]], the routing server then skips those segments and ignores them when determining the 'Best Continuation'.<br />
**At the time of this writing, neither the author or anyone involved in the discussion has ever experienced this unless the restricted segment has a turn angle of less than {{:How_Waze_determines_turn_/_keep_/_exit_maneuvers/Stay threshold}}.<br />
<br />
*Turns can be [[Turn restrictions#Turn restrictions .28allowed turns.29|restricted or unrestricted]]. In specific scenarios you may not be able to see this in [[Waze Map Editor|WME]] - see [[Reverse connectivity#Reverse Connectivity|RevCons]] for more information. There are external scripts which show this information (and some allow it to be easily corrected).<br />
<br />
*The [[How Waze determines turn / keep / exit maneuvers|original text]] mentions special behavior for ''locked nodes''. For example, in this case (image below) - assuming the node is locked - heading south, the right turn will be considered 'Continue straight' as the routing server has no other option and there's only one possible segment to be s-out.<br />
**If the node was not locked, it is most likely that Waze would tell you to turn right. Driving against the direction is a high [[Routing penalties|penalty]], and so is a left turn where a turn is not allowed. However, it would still have been an option, which is why the routing server would have called it 'turn right'.<br />
[[File:Right_turn_1.png]]<br />
**This could be confusing, especially since there's no external indication on whether or not a node is locked at the moment.<br />
**The author and those involved in the discussion have never experienced a ''locked'' node which didn't follow the algorithm for determining the instruction.</div>Numbermaniachttps://www.waze.com/wiki/USA/index.php?title=Roundabouts&diff=87491Roundabouts2014-12-20T07:59:53Z<p>Numbermaniac: </p>
<hr />
<div>[[Image:roundabout_09.png|right|275px]]<br />
Roundabouts, rotaries, or traffic circles, are unique segments of roadway in the Waze router. When a driver approaches a roundabout, a specific icon is displayed in the turn direction area of the display with a number corresponding to the exit count from the driver's entry into the roundabout. Manually creating a circular road will not tell Waze to navigate the area as a roundabout.<br />
<br />
Countries around the world may use slightly different instructions for creating and editing roundabouts. Currently defined specific country instructions include:<br />
<br />
* [[Junctions and roundabouts/Australia#Roundabouts|Australia]]<br />
* [[Junctions and roundabouts/India|India]]<br />
* [[Veityper#Rundkj.C3.B8ringer|Norway]]<br />

[[File:Chat-popup-window.png|400px|right]]<br />
Waze Map Editor (WME) has an optional chat feature, known as WME Chat, that allows you to chat with other editors that are currently using WME. This feature allows you to ask for help, assist others in need of help, or collaborate in group editing efforts. This page explains features of WME Chat and how to best use it while editing.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Enabling chat mode ==<br />
<br />
[[File:WME-Chat-Window-Minimized.png|right]]<br />
To enable WME Chat, click on the chat icon in the lower right corner of the editor screen as shown here. If you do not click on this icon, you will not be shown as active in chat; however, WME Chat will start recording conversation in the background, if any, from other editors using WME Chat.<br />
<br />
If you enable WME Chat right away after launching WME, you will see no conversation history until you or another editor enters a message. If you first edit for a while and then enter WME Chat, you will see the entire history of conversation that occurred since you opened WME.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
When you click on the icon, the chat window will open to display the folowing:<br />
<br />
[[File:Chat Window Open.png]]<br />
<br />
Conversations occur in the large window to the left. Other editors in WME chat are listed in the right window. Both these windows have scroll bars to allow you to review conversation or see the whole list of editors. Type your message in the area at the bottom "Message goes here" and press {{key press|Return}} or {{key press|Enter}} to send your message to all others. This is an open chat system. Messages are visible to everyone.<br />
<br />
Note that all messages are erased from WME Chat every time your reload your browser page.<br />
<br />
The list of editors to the right shows the editors name and their numerical rank on a cone, rank one through six. Rank one editors are new. Rank six editors are very experienced. See [[Waze_Map_Editor/Chat#Rank_Indicator|Rank Indicator]] for more information on this feature.<br />
<br />
==Features==<br />
<br />
===Visible/Invisible===<br />
[[File:Visible-Menu.png|right]]<br />
A feature is available for editors to be visible or invisible. This will prevent your name from being displayed within the list of online editors, or your avatar from displaying on the map in the [[#Live users|"Live Users "]] layer. To access this feature, just click on the dropdown menu "Visible" and select visible or invisible.<br />
<br />
You are normally visible. You may choose to be invisible because;<br />
* You do not wish to participate in conversations, but wish to learn by seeing other editor's conversations.<br />
* You do not want to engage in chat currently. This prevents other (newer) editors from getting frustrated when asking a question and not getting a response, while there are a number of editors in the chat list.<br>There are several possible reasons;<br />
** You leave WME running in the background while not actively participating.<br />
** You are focusing on a specific editing task, and do not wish to be disturbed.<br />
** You are observing an [[Mentoring/USA#Informal_mentoring|Informal Mentoring Session]] where the avatars of the editors involved are being used to point to specific segments / issues, and you don't want to interfere or confuse anyone by having your avatar moving around the screen as well.<br />
<br />
<br />
----<br />
<br />
===Move To===<br />
[[File:Move-To-Icon.png|right]]<br />
To enable helping or learning from other editors, Waze provides a "Move To" feature in WME Chat. It provides the ability to have your WME window quickly jump to the location of another editor that is online. This feature is helpful if you are offering help, are in need of help, are participating in group editing, or otherwise need to move to the exact location of another editor.<br />
<br />
To utilize this feature, click on the compass icon next to an editors name. <br />
<br />
We suggest you only use this feature if you read this entire article and become familiar with WME Chat. It might be considered rude or of a "stalking" nature to follow other editors without some prior notice or message in the chat window letting them know why you are there.<br />
<br />
<br />
Once you click on the compass icon, your WME screen will move over the exact location of the editor whose name you clicked on.<br />
<br />
[[File:Move-To-End-Result.png]]<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
{{Anchor|Live users}}[[File:Live User selection.png|right]]<br />
<br />
The Waze Map Editor (WME) provides a feature that allows you to see the approximate location of other editors with an avatar showing the name of the editor. You may turn this avatar layer on and off in WME via the main menu check item called "Live Users." <br />
<br />
Notice that even though you can see the editor avatars moving around your screen, you cannot immediately see editing action of other editors on roads and other features like you can see your editing. You can only see their changes all at once when you refresh your screen.<br />
<br />
<br />
----<br />
<br />
===Rank Indicator===<br />
[[File:Chat lvl 6.png|right]]<br />
<br />
You are able to determine an editors rank based on the number next to the cone to the left of their name. Rank 1 editors are new and inexperienced. Rank 6 editors are very experienced. <br />
<br />
An editor's rank can be useful information if you need more experienced help or need to find an editor that may be able to edit in your area or unlock or lock segments or Places that have been locked at a rank higher than your own.<br />
<br />
Remember, not all editors can edit across the whole country. They may be limited to editing where they can drive or where they are an [[Area Manager]] (AM). AMs can edit in a region specifically allocated to them. Country Managers (CM) can edit anywhere within their country. AM and CM are editing roles. In addition, some editors have additional responsibilities, abilities, and knowledge. These are called Local (country specific) Champs (LC), Regional Coordinators (RC), and Global Champs (GC), all of which are Community Roles.<br />
<br />
Rank is not always an exact indicator of Editing Role or Community Roles, but here's a general rule of thumb:<br />
<br />
* Rank-3: Some but not all may be Area Managers (AMs)<br />
* Rank-5: Many but not all are Country Managers (CMs)<br />
* Rank-6: Most are Champs of one type or another as well as having CM status.<br />
<br />
If you're looking for help and you're not sure who can edit in your area, just post a message asking for the type of help you need. To facilitate only responses from those with editing privileges in your area, and receive a faster response, include your city and state in your request message.<br />
<br />
----<br />
<br />
==Chat Status icon==<br />
<br />
When minimized, there are different variations of the minimized chat icon in WME showing visibility and if there are new messages. the following are a the different display icons and their meanings:<br />
<br />

<br />
== Etiquette for communications ==<br />
Reasonable behavior within WME Chat is expected as it is elsewhere in the Waze Community. Because it is an online written communication and one that is fleeting, chat is easily prone to misunderstandings. Please behave well and give others the benefit of the doubt. Here are some specific ideas to consider:<br />
<br />
* Be careful offering advice outside of your local area. Country, state, and regional differences exist, and your advice may be inaccurate in that area. Outdated areal images may be deceiving if locals are editing new construction areas. Providing advice on simple or common topics, or where in the Wiki information can be found should be fine. If you consult outside of your area, always make sure to consult the local guidelines (in the USA use the [[Mapping_resources/USA|State-specific Resources]], and the [http://www.waze.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=129 State Forums]).<br />
<br />
* The rapid-pace, real-time environment of WME Chat may sometimes cause those few participating there to make decisions upon edits in specific locations and upon editing policy that are not shared or socialized with others as they normally would be in the Forum and Wiki. There is no record of WME Chat available to the general editor population. While this rapid pace can be good to make things move fast, it can also lead to conflict with others who may feel either a need to know about what you've done, decided, or that your decision was made without input from others. So consider these things:<br />
** No decision should be implemented so quickly that it goes against the current recommendations and guidelines in the Wiki or Forum until that decision is brought up in the forums for further review. Then if that decision is supported, the Wiki and appropriate Forum entry should be updated to reflect the change in recommendation or guidance.<br />
** Each time significant editing occurs in a particular area or new discussion and ideas occur on policy within WME Chat that others should know about or could benefit the Waze Editing Community, make sure to follow up later by posting in the Forum, suggesting a change to the Wiki, or sending Private Messages (PMs) to other editors that may have interest. If you're not sure who to write, post in the relevant local forum. (in the USA use the [http://www.waze.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=129 State Forums]).<br />
<br />
* Control your language. WME Chat is an open forum accessible by many others who may find harsh language offensive.<br />
<br />
* Do not follow people around with the Move To function unless your presence is expected or you announce yourself and why you are following someone.<br />
<br />
* Strive to be kind, understanding, and helpful. Remember what it was like to be Rank-1. Novice editors may ask questions that seem obvious to you. Provide them answers and links to Wiki resources.<br />
<br />
* Do not insult others.<br />
<br />
* Don't expect that a particular editor will respond. They may not be looking at the WME Chat window even though their name is listed.<br />
<br />
* Don't expect that higher-rank editors will always unlock segments or Places for you all the time. Unless they have confidence in your skills or time to spend watching over your shoulder, they may choose to not unlock.<br />
<br />
* Don't expect that every editor can help you. Many lower-rank editors cannot edit in your area or may not yet have confidence to offer advice.<br />
<br />
* If you are addressing a particular editor in WME Chat, it is best to put their name first in your message. For instance, if you wish to send a message to editor XYZ, then you message should something like this: "@XYZ: how are you doing?"<br />
<br />
Etiquette resources for other parts of the Waze Community include these:<br />
<br />
* [https://www.waze.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=636&t=83733 Forum Etiquette]<br />
* [[Update_Requests_in_Waze_Map_Editor#The_resolution_process_.2F_Etiquette|Update Requests]]<br />
* [http://www.waze.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=276&t=81912 Wiki Editing]<br />
* [[Mentoring/USA/Training#Mentor_Code_of_Conduct|Mentor Code of Conduct]].<br />
<br />
== Advantages ==<br />
WME Chat is a great source for instant, real-time interaction between editors. Here are some of the positive features and the utility of using WME Chat.<br />
<br />
* It is a great resource for informal mentoring, helping other less-experienced editors.<br />
<br />
* It can enable group editing where multiple editors work on a project simultaneously.<br />
<br />
* It transforms a solitary editing effort into a social activity where people can learn by watching, form teams and cooperate in efforts.<br />
<br />
* If others are in WME Chat, you can get an instant answer rather than having to wait for a response to a question in the Forum.<br />
<br />
* New editors in an area can monitor the chat window, and may be alerted by a higher rank editor if they are making incorrect/damaging edits, before they expend to much effort which has to be corrected/undone.<br />
<br />
== Disadvantages ==<br />
You may not always want to utilize WME Chat to solve a problem. Here are some things to watch out for while using it.<br />
<br />
* Unless you know and have confidence the other editor in a conversation, the advice they give you may be wrong. <br />
** While some Rank-1/2 editors have great advice, you may find higher-rank editors have consistently better advice and you can almost always rely upon advice from Rank-6 editors.<br />
** Editors not in your region or city may not understand some of the complexities or regional standards that you should follow. Consider consulting your location specific guidelines (in the USA use the [[Mapping_resources/USA|State-specific Resources]], and the [http://www.waze.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=129 State Forums]) when editing or giving advice.<br />
<br />
* There is only a single window for all conversations in WME Chat. When it gets busy, you may miss a response or loose track of an interaction with other editors.<br />
<br />
* Persistence of the chat window is short, so what you type will eventually disappear. The Forum and Wiki are locations where you can find information that has a longer lifetime.<br />
** If useful insight is shared in WME Chat that does not exist in the Forum or Wiki, please help others by posting that insight in the Forum or suggest it be added to the Wiki for others to access as needed.<br />
<br />
* When few people are in WME chat, it may be harder to have your question answered.<br />
<br />
== Refresh or reload screen ==<br />
<br />
Reloading the browser, including when you create a [[Permalink#Permalink|Permalink]], page resets your WME chat window and erases the chat history, you may also miss messages sent while WME is reloading in your browser.<br />
<br />
<br />
[[File:Map refresh icon.png|right]]<br />
<br />
To refresh your screen, to see recent edits, reload the roads, sattelite images, etc; look in the WME main menu upper left for the small cycle button. Click on this to refresh your screen without reloading the page, or erasing the history of WME Chat.<br />
<br />
<br />
[[File:Permalink small.jpg|150px|right]]<br />
<br />
When you click on the [[Permalink#Permalink|permalink]] icon in the bottom right, it creates a permalink (containing your current map location, segments highlighted, URs or MPs opened, and layers visible), and then loads that page.<br />
<br />
{{U|''This will reload your browser window erasing WME chat history as mentioned above''}}. This may useful as indicated [[#Troubleshooting|below]].<br />
<br />
== Troubleshooting ==<br />
<br />
Having trouble with WME Chat? Here are a few things to consider if something doesn't appear to be working well. If you don't find an answer here, consider posting your question in the forum or even in WME Chat if you can access it.<br />
<br />
=== Chat window missing===<br />
<br />
If you don't see the WME Chat window in your editor page, it may be caused by a few things.<br />
* It may be blocked by your personal or company firewall.<br />
*A user script may be interfering with the WME Chat interface.<br />
<br />
=== Specific editor not responding ===<br />
<br />
If you're writing a specific editor within WME Chat, they may not be watching the chat screen, may have left their editor window open and walked away from the computer, or any number of other similar scenarios. Don't expect that a specific person will always respond. It may be better to first send a short message such as, "@editor_name, are you there?"<br />
<br />
=== Chat history erased ===<br />
<br />
Chat history in the current WME Chat is erased each time you reload your browser window, including when you create a [[Permalink#Permalink|Permalink]]. Consider only [[#Refresh|refreshing]] your screen from the main menu of the editor as noted elsewhere in this article.<br />
<br />
=== Chat stops working ===<br />
<br />
If WME Chat was working fine, and now you don't see any more messages coming in. It may still appear as if your messages are being sent, but they may not be actually going through.<br />
<br />
This may be due to there not being any active conversations at the moment.<br />
It can also be caused by having the WME page open for a very long time. In this case a page reload (hit the [[Permalink#Permalink|Permalink]]) will usually fix it.<br />
<br />
=== Duplicated chat messages ===<br />
<br />
{{NeedInfo|<br />
<PesachZ:> I don't know any others, and these are from experience / here-say. Please contribute or mention in the forum thread if you have any more info.}}<br />
<br />
There are several probable causes and a few solutions which have some reliability.<br />
* Having multiple windows open using chat simultaneously<br />
* Being logged into WME from multiple devices<br />
* Moving between adjacent country chat rooms<br />
* Improperly logging out of one browser window, and then reloading WME<br />
<br />
<br />
These solutions are not always reliable, but may include the following items. Please try them in order of preference.<br />
# Closing all but one instance of WME<br />
# Logging out of all WME pages, and reopening one instance of WME<br />
# Restarting your browser<br />
# Deleting your browsers cache for the waze.com domain<br />
<br />
== Alternative communications ==<br />
So now that you know about WME Chat and the great way that it adds a social aspect to a normally solitary editing experience, what else could you do? Waze may upgrade and evolve WME Chat with more features in the future, but you don't have to wait. Here are some other ideas about how you can use other tools with the Waze Map Editor (WME) and their possible advantages and disadvantages.<br />
<br />

|-<br />
| style="text-align: left; vertical-align: top;" | Telephone / Cell Phone<br />
| style="text-align: left; vertical-align: top;" | Private voice or text conversation with another editor while editing.<br />
| style="text-align: left; vertical-align: top;" | Sharing personal information (your phone number). Airtime costs.<br />
|-<br />
| style="text-align: left; vertical-align: top;" | Instant messaging, especially Google Hangouts and Skype<br />
| style="text-align: left; vertical-align: top;" | Free. Easy. Private chat communication with one or more other editors. Can easily switch to video chat if needed. Hangouts and Skype can accommodate screen sharing, and live video presentations to multiple recipients. Hangouts is most popular among Waze editors for group chats and sharing.<br />
| style="text-align: left; vertical-align: top;" | For Hangouts, all participants must use the Google+ social network. (One on one chat in Hangouts is possible without Google+, using either the Gmail webmail interface or the Google Chat client with any e-mail address.) Other chat platforms (AIM, Yahoo Messenger, Skype) do not have any special platform requirements.<br />
|-<br />
| style="text-align: left; vertical-align: top;" | C3 by Vivox (Voice Chat)<br />
| style="text-align: left; vertical-align: top;" | Free. By creating audio chat rooms, you can talk to other editors in real time without having to read a text window. See download [http://www.vivox.com/download-c3.html here]. You control how many people are in your audio chat room. People can call in from phones too.<br />
| style="text-align: left; vertical-align: top;" | All parties must install software, one must create a chat room to share.<br />
|-<br />
| style="text-align: left; vertical-align: top;" | Social media such as Google+, Facebook, etc.<br />
| style="text-align: left; vertical-align: top;" | More persistent and available to a wider group. Similar to a Forum. <br />

<br />
=== WME Chat addon ===<br />
by: [[User:dummyd2|dummyd2]] Version: 0.4<br />
<br />
<br />
[[File:WME Chat addon.png|center|WME Chat addon window]]<br />
<br />
<br />
This script improves the WME chat GUI:<br />
[[File:WME Addon settings.png|right]]<br />
* Configuration panel: link "Settings" next to the welcome message at top of message list<br />
* removes duplicates messages: it hides messages, but you still receive or (perhaps) emit duplicates.<br />
[[File:WME addon names.png|right]]<br />
* adds a link on user names in each message to add a "bip" message (customizable in settings)<br />
* adds a target link next to the user name allowing to jump to without looking for the user in the list<br />
* adds rank after user names<br />
* adds date and time or time only to each post (taken from your computer when the message is received)<br />
* formats links to clickable links and opens in new tab<br />
* formats permalinks to clickable target and jump to position, zoom, and select objects (no WME reload)<br />
* light blue (editable in settings) background on new messages posted by you<br />
* small "+" and permalink icon next to the input message area to insert current permalink<br />
[[File:WME Chat addon full alert.png|200px|thumbnail|right]]<br />
[[File:WME Chat addon minimized alert.png|right]]<br />
* Chat top pannel (if open) or chat button (if closed) change color to dark red (editable in settings) if someone type a message containing a word in a custom list (see tool tip text) in settings (case unsensitive). Returns back to original color when you send a message, or close chat window.<br />
* Play sound on new message (mutable in settings)<br />
* Play sound on alert (mutable in settings)<br />
* Remove messages of users not in the room (optional in settings)<br />
* System message when a user join or leave the room (optional in settings)<br />
* Bell icon next to each user in the users list to insert the "bip" in the message<br />
{{clear}}<br />
<br />
*''Compatible with WME Chat jumper: so each "jump" with WME Chat addon is reversible using WME Chat jumper.''<br />

===== How to pave a road? =====<br />
<br />
To pave a new road open the report menu:<br />
<br />

<br />
'''Note''': In areas that are already mapped out, the pave option should only be used when the visual map layer in the [[Waze Map Editor]] (WME) does not show the new roads you are about to pave. Otherwise it is easier and better to use the WME to create and validate (name) the road directly through the web interface. Either way you have to use WME to have the road actually appear in the client anyway by [[Creating_and_Editing_street_segments#Confirm_the_road_by_updating_details|confirming the roads]].<br />

Otherwise it is easier and better to use the WME to create and validate (name) the road directly through the web interface. Either way you have to use WME to have the road actually appear in the client anyway by [[Creating_and_Editing_street_segments#Confirm_the_road_by_updating_details|confirming the roads]].<br />

===== How to pave a road? =====<br />
<br />
To pave a new road open the report menu:<br />
<br />
[[Image:ReportNew1.JPG|240px]]<br />
<br />
Choose Map Issue and select the '''Pave''' tab:<br />
<br />
[[Image:PaveRoad1.JPG|240px]]<br />
<br />
<br />
Click on '''Pave road''' to start paving.<br />
<br />
To stop paving click on the icon at the left of the screen:<br />

<br />
And choose '''Stop paving''':<br />
<br />
[[Image:PaveRoad3.JPG|240px]]<br />
<br />
'''Note''': In areas that are already mapped out, the pave option should only be used when the visual map layer in the [[Waze Map Editor]] (WME) does not show the new roads you are about to pave. Otherwise it is easier and better to use the WME to create and validate (name) the road directly through the web interface. Either way you have to use WME to have the road actually appear in the client anyway by [[Creating_and_Editing_street_segments#Confirm_the_road_by_updating_details|confirming the roads]].<br />

<br />
Choose between '''speed trap camera''', '''red light camera''' or '''fake camera''', choose which side you spotted the camera (on your lane or other lane):<br />
<br />
Once you report the camera, someone needs to go inside [[Waze Map Editor]] (WME) to "approve" the camera.<br />
<br />
Note that not all that appear to be cameras are the types of cameras you report in Waze. Please be sure to review the article on [[cameras]] for more information on the correct cameras to report.<br />

<br />
'''Notes:''' <br />
<br />
* If one user reports a road closure - it will only affect that user's view of the map. In order to affect all users, a number of users need to report the same closure.<br />
<br />
* The number of reports needed to close the roads for all the users varies based on the road's weight, the user's rank and the country.<br />
<br />
* The road will be opened when a number of users drive through the road.<br />
<br />
----<br />
<br />
== Points and limits ==<br />
[[Your Rank and Points|Points]] are given for each report you make while using Waze. When you report too many times in a short span of time or distance, Waze may initially show only getting 3 points for your last report. It is also possible that if there are too many too quickly, you will not be permitted to post any more reports. If that happens you will need to simply wait for a period of 5 minutes or so and try again.<br />
<br />
== Impact to routing ==<br />
These reports do not affect routing, although when a '''traffic''' report is sent, the routing server will take a closer look at the GPS speed information coming from current Wazers in that area to possibly reset the current speed of that segment of road. At that time the routing server will consider the current average speed when routing new direction requests. Otherwise a road full of "reports" on its own will not affect the route selected by the server.<br />

<hr />
<div>Roads may be partially or completely closed in one or both directions for multiple reasons:<br />
<br />
*Road construction<br />
*Natural disasters<br />
*Local events<br />
<br />
Also these instances may close a road for a few hours, days, weeks, and even years. Depending upon how long the road will be closed will determine what method is used to update the map..<br />
<br />
== Overview ==<br />
<br />
There are four methods to control traffic flow:<br />
<br />
#[[Mega events]]<br />
#[[How to Report#Closure|Temporary Road Closures]]<br />
#[[Partial restrictions]]<br />
#[[Road Naming (USA)#Construction zones and closed roads|Disconnect road segments]]<br />
<br />
{{/Overview list}}<br />
<br />
== Hours, days, weeks ==<br />
<br />
If the road is affected for only a few hours or even a few weeks then use the [[How to Report#Closure|Report > Closure]] feature in the Waze client application. Note this requires a person be physically located at the point of the road closure to report it in the client application. Alternately, the [[Partial restrictions]] feature in [[Waze Map Editor|WME]], can be used for these situations until the road closure feature can be accessed directly in WME.<br />
<br />
== Weeks, months, years ==<br />
<br />
WME has the ability to restrict traffic flow through the [[Partial restrictions]] feature. For [[Road names/USA#Construction zones and closed roads|road construction]] situations, refer to that article for more specific information.<br />
<br />
== Daily for certain times ==<br />
<br />
If the road is closed every day or numerous days for a certain time of day, the proper solution will require [[Time-based turn restrictions]], also known as scheduled restrictions.<br />
<br />
== NOTES for all durations ==<br />
<br />
The current time frame for map tile generation is ''every day'' on all map infrastructures. Due to when the map update cycle starts, road closures and openings should be saved in the editor two days prior to the event.<br />
<br />
*Don't forget to edit the map back when the road partially or completely reopens.<br />
*If a road is closed, it is generally a last resort to disconnect the section of road that is closed. Try one of the other alternatives first and if none of those will work for your situation, then considering disconnecting the road. Changing the road direction to "Unknown" will '''not''' prevent routing on the road since this means to Waze that it should analyze drives along this segment and change the road direction automatically. This setting will allow Waze to create routes along the road as if it were a 2-way segment.<br />
*If one direction of a road is closed, change the road direction to "One-Way" and also put a turn restriction as appropriate on junctions with the road.<br />
*There is no need to edit the map for lane closures.<br />
*If the road is slower than usual, Waze will learn the average road speed has fallen and make automatic [[Road reports]].<br />
*If there is an official detour route, Waze will learn about it as you drive it.<br />
*You should check all surrounding roads are mapped properly and have correct [[Glossary|directionality]] and [[Glossary|connectivity]] so that Waze can find the best detour.<br />

<hr />
<div>* '''Mega event''' - A major event that will typically have road closures or detours. It is usually a scheduled event with significant exposure and likely to impact an entire community. A major natural disaster can be added after it occurs if roads are going to be rerouted for many days.<br />
<br />
* '''Temporary road closures''' - Users in the client app can mark an unexpected road closure they see while driving. It is typically used for unexpected, short term closures of a few days. Currently this feature is only available in the client application and requires multiple users be at the location to enter the same road closure information on the map before it will be seen by other drivers. Once this feature is available in [[WME]] it will have more use.<br />
<br />
* '''Scheduled restrictions''' - A new feature recently added to WME. Used when turns or roadways are restricted for certain times of day, days of the week, vehicle types, etc. It has the ability to only restrict during a specific date range, so it can be used in place of mega events or temporary road closures if necessary.<br />
<br />
* '''Disconnect road segments''' - In general it is not recommended to disconnect road segments unless roads are permanently being disconnected. However, this method has been used for longer term construction projects while waiting for the scheduled restrictions feature.</div>Numbermaniachttps://www.waze.com/wiki/USA/index.php?title=Traffic_locks&diff=66293Traffic locks2014-05-06T09:04:06Z<p>Numbermaniac: little bit of grammar...</p>

<div>{{construction|contact=http://www.waze.com/forum/ucp.php?i=pm&mode=compose&u=8359316 |contacttype=user |draft=yes |open=no |talk=yes}} {{mbox|type=speculation|text=This page is based on early software and specifications. You can follow the active discussion on this feature in the [http://www.waze.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=80726 Traffic Locks] forum.}}<br />
<br />
<br/>'''Traffic Locks''' (aka Road Ranks or Segment Lock) in general means that a segment can only be edited by an editor with a sufficient rank. For more details, see [[Editing restrictions|Editing permissions]]. Each segment has two lock values in Waze's database:<br />
<br />
- a&nbsp;user lock rank and<br />
<br />
- an&nbsp;automatically calculated lock rank.<br />
<br />
<br/>'''There are a few rules regarding that:'''<br />
<br />
1. The final, effective, lock will be whichever is higher - the user lock or the automatic lock.<br />
<br />
2. The user lock cannot be set lower than the automatically calculated lock level.<br />
<br />
3. The user lock cannot be set higher than the user's own level.<br />
<br />
4. Last edit date does not influence the algorithm.<br />
<br />
5. There could be some relatively exotic cases such as poor cell coverage. In these cases the manual locking system is the solution.<br />
<br />
6. It is unlikely for a segment to be degraded in the automatic lock system - it could only happen if many segments are suddenly added to that country and are heavily used. Example: To be giving....<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
'''How Waze automatically calculate road ranks:'''<br />
<br />
This is the default calculation. In each country Waze manually change some of the parameters according to:<br />
<br />
- the community size,<br />
<br />
- management methods,<br />
<br />
- activity,<br />
<br />
- map maturity,<br />
<br />
- population and<br />
<br />
- road network characteristics etc.<br />
<br />
The calculation is based on weight, which is how many people have ever driven on a segment to reflect both how busy that segment is and how long it's been on our map. Waze divide all the segments in the country to half percentiles, removing some very highly weighted segments (because they significantly shift the results). So now Waze have 200 equally sized groups of segments sorted by weights. Now Waze apply the locks.<br />
<br />
'''These are the example parameters (varies between countries):'''&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The first, lowest 97.5% of the segments in the country - are available for everyone to edit (= no automatic lock)<br />
<br />
98% - 98.5% - 2 cones and up<br />
<br />
98.5% - 99% - 3 cones and up<br />
<br />
99% - 99.5% - 4 cones and up<br />
<br />
99.5% - 100% - 5 cones and up<br />
<br />
The calculation process happens once in a while (~monthly) in order to update all the locks for changing conditions.</div>Numbermaniachttps://www.waze.com/wiki/USA/index.php?title=File:AltRoutesIco.PNG&diff=53918File:AltRoutesIco.PNG2014-01-25T08:02:40Z<p>Numbermaniac: Numbermaniac uploaded a new version of &quot;File:AltRoutesIco.PNG&quot;</p>

=== Add a stop point ===<br />
Select the '''Navigate''' button to bring up the standard navigation page. From there select a destination (using the standard navigation options covered above) to add another location to your journey before reaching your original final destination.<br />
<br />
Once you select your destination you will see the ETA to your stop point and the ETA to the final destination.<br />
<br />
[[Image:StpNew11.JPG|240px]]<br />
<br />

<br />
[[Image:StpNew15.JPG|240px]]<br />
<br />
=== Cancel a stop point ===<br />
<br />
It appears that in the newest version you can't cancel stops. You will have to stop the navigation and restart navigation using only the final stop.<br />
<br />
=== Choose alternate route ===<br />
<br />
See the details for selecting alternate routes under the [[#Ready to go?|Ready to go]] instructions above.<br />
<br />
=== Share drive or location ===<br />
<br />
The '''Send ETA''' button enables you to share your current navigation and destination, as well as your current location to another Wazer. See [[Share your drive]] for more information.<br />
<br />
== Navigation List ==<br />
<br />
While navigating you can view all the upcoming turns in a list on the screen. To view the navigation list just tap on the top of the screen:<br />
<br />
[[Image:DlistNew.JPG|240px]]<br />
<br />
== Maximum search distance ==<br />
<br />
The search and navigation capabilities of Waze today are limited to about 1000 miles (1600 kilometers).<br />
<br />
When driving further than that distance you need to select a target point under that distance as your temporary destination. After driving about half that distance or so you can reset the destination to something closer to your final destination until you are less than the current limit. Then you can plug in the final destination.<br />
<br />
This limit is partially imposed due to limitations and severe workload issues that would be imposed on the routing servers. It may be increased at some point in the future.<br />

=== Add a stop point ===<br />
Select the '''Navigate''' button to bring up the standard navigation page. From there select a destination (using the standard navigation options covered above) to add another location to your journey before reaching your original final destination.<br />
<br />
Once you select your destination you will see the ETA to your stop point and the ETA to the final destination.<br />
<br />
[[Image:StpNew11.JPG|240px]]<br />
<br />
The pink line indicates the route to your stop point, the purple line indicates the route to your final destination from the stop point<br />
<br />
[[Image:StpNew14.JPG|240px]]<br />
<br />
You can view the full ETA status (stop point + final destination) at any time by clicking on the ETA bar at the bottom of the screen:<br />

<br />
=== Choose alternate route ===<br />
<br />
See the details for selecting alternate routes under the [[#Ready to go?|Ready to go]] instructions above.<br />
<br />
=== Share drive or location ===<br />
<br />

<br />
[[Image:DlistNew.JPG|240px]]<br />
<br />
== Maximum search distance ==<br />
<br />
The search and navigation capabilities of Waze today are limited to about 1000 miles (1600 kilometers).<br />
<br />
When driving further than that distance you need to select a target point under that distance as your temporary destination. After driving about half that distance or so you can reset the destination to something closer to your final destination until you are less than the current limit. Then you can plug in the final destination.<br />
<br />
This limit is partially imposed due to limitations and severe workload issues that would be imposed on the routing servers. It may be increased at some point in the future.<br />

<br />
Navigation with Waze is very similar to many other Global Positioning System (GPS) applications. You either enter an address directly, pick a location from a list of point in a list, or point to a location on the visual map. The information below covers these methods of selecting your destination.<br />
<br />
== Start navigating with Waze ==<br />
<br />
From Waze main screen - click on the Menu button and choose Navigate:<br />
<br />
[[Image:IMG_1147.jpg|240px]]<br />

<br />
[[Image:Slide45.jpeg|240px]]<br />
<br />
From the main navigation screen you can navigate 5 different ways:<br />
<br />
[[Image:NavMain.png|240px]]<br />
<br />
* [[#Search for an address|Search for an address]]<br />
* [[#Select a point of interest|Select a point of interest]]<br />
* [[#Select a prior destination|Select a prior destination]]<br />
* [[#Select a previously saved favorite|Select a previously saved favorite]]<br />
* [[#Pick Up a friend on Waze|Pick Up a friend on Waze]]<br />
<br />

<br />
Select the location you want from the list to start the navigation.<br />
<br />
==== Other search engines ====<br />
<br />
You can find more search results by changing the search database. From most screens showing a list of search result locations you can change your search engine at the bottom of the screen. Simply slide the bar of icons left or right to change the search database between the following: (not all search engines available in all areas)<br />

== Maximum search distance ==<br />
<br />
The search and navigation capabilities of Waze today are limited to about 1000 miles (1600 kilometers).<br />
<br />
When driving further than that distance you need to select a target point under that distance as your temporary destination. After driving about half that distance or so you can reset the destination to something closer to your final destination until you are less than the current limit. Then you can plug in the final destination.<br />
<br />
This limit is partially imposed due to limitations and severe workload issues that would be imposed on the routing servers. It may be increased at some point in the future.<br />

<br />
== Maximum search distance ==<br />
<br />
The search and navigation capabilities of Waze today are limited to about 1000 miles (1600 kilometers).<br />
<br />
When driving further than that distance you need to select a target point under that distance as your temporary destination. After driving about half that distance or so you can reset the destination to something closer to your final destination until you are less than the current limit. Then you can plug in the final destination.<br />
<br />
This limit is partially imposed due to limitations and severe workload issues that would be imposed on the routing servers. It may be increased at some point in the future.<br />

<br />
[[Image:DlistNew.JPG|240px]]<br />
<br />
<br />
== Maximum search distance ==<br />
<br />
The search and navigation capabilities of Waze today are limited to about 1000 miles (1600 kilometers).<br />
<br />
When driving further than that distance you need to select a target point under that distance as your temporary destination. After driving about half that distance or so you can reset the destination to something closer to your final destination until you are less than the current limit. Then you can plug in the final destination.<br />
<br />
This limit is partially imposed due to limitations and severe workload issues that would be imposed on the routing servers. It may be increased at some point in the future.<br />

The search and navigation capabilities of Waze today are limited to about 1000 miles (1600 kilometers).<br />
<br />
When driving further than that distance you need to select a target point under that distance as your temporary destination. After driving about half that distance or so you can reset the destination to something closer to your final destination until you are less than the current limit. Then you can plug in the final destination.<br />
<br />
This limit is partially imposed due to limitations and severe workload issues that would be imposed on the routing servers. It may be increased at some point in the future.<br />

== Maximum search distance ==<br />
<br />
The search and navigation capabilities of Waze today are limited to about 1000 miles (1600 kilometers).<br />
<br />
When driving further than that distance you need to select a target point under that distance as your temporary destination. After driving about half that distance or so you can reset the destination to something closer to your final destination until you are less than the current limit. Then you can plug in the final destination.<br />
<br />
This limit is partially imposed due to limitations and severe workload issues that would be imposed on the routing servers. It may be increased at some point in the future.<br />

<br />
[[Image:DlistNew.JPG|240px]]<br />
<br />
<br />
== Maximum search distance ==<br />
<br />
The search and navigation capabilities of Waze today are limited to about 1000 miles (1600 kilometers).<br />
<br />
When driving further than that distance you need to select a target point under that distance as your temporary destination. After driving about half that distance or so you can reset the destination to something closer to your final destination until you are less than the current limit. Then you can plug in the final destination.<br />
<br />
This limit is partially imposed due to limitations and severe workload issues that would be imposed on the routing servers. It may be increased at some point in the future.<br />
