An exception currently to the USA Roads standard is Kentucky state highways. Kentucky has numbered state highways from Controlled Access Freeways down to Alleys. Because of this Kentucky strictly uses Functional Classification to set road types.

Lock Levels

Kentucky currently observes the following South Atlantic Region minimum lock levels for Waze road types:

 Freeway  - 5
 Major Highway  (MH) - 4
 Minor Highway  (mH) - 3
 Primary Street  (PS) - 2

The  Ramp  road type is to be locked at the level of road it serves.

i.e. a ramp connected to a Freeway is locked at 5, a ramp serving a Major Highway, multi-level intersection is locked at 4, etc.

 Street  All others - 1

Note: These are minimums and, for protection, certain segments may be at higher lock levels.


Name Normalization

Kentucky will use the following standards for naming:
Freeways - I-xx
US Highways - US-xx
State Highways - KY-xxx
County Highways - CR-xxx
