'''MapRaid Philadelphia June 2015'''
will be '''7 June at 17:00 UTC (1:00 PM EDT) through  14 June 2015'''.
The group will be divided into
5
groups, one for each section. Each group will have both local and senior editors, one of which will be the "Group leader" - listed in blue below. Please direct all questions to your group leaders. The raid hosts will be available across all areas for added support.

==Local Hosts==
== MapRaid Goals ==
Your local hosts are the experts on how the guidance you see on this page applies to the MapRaid area. If the guidelines are not clear, please check with them or with anyone else they might designate during the raid.
Our primary goal is '''Improve Basemap'''
<!-- add list of local hosts here -->

==Important!==
Secondary Goals
<!-- add any important information pertaining to the raid here -->
* Improve Routing and Navigation.
<!-- these are just examples -->
* Solve / Respond to User Reports.
==== Road Types ====
* PURs (Places)
* MPs
* General map verification, restricted turn verification (Shift + Z)
* Functional Classification.


Please do not change the types of roads without getting appropriate guidance:
== Groups ==
* Freeways
<!--
* Ramps
Here's how to make an imagemap:
* Major Highways
http://i.imgur.com/Ta6Rzft.png?1
* Minor Highways
* Primary Streets
Some changes to road types could mess up continuity and distort routing. See the section below on road names, types, and FC for more information


===Mapraid UR Rules===
Upload the image to the wiki.
We will follow the [[Update_Requests_in_Waze_Map_Editor#The_resolution_process_.2F_Etiquette|usual US UR etiquette]] with one exception: During the Map raid, the wait time is reduced to 4 days.
Right click on "original image" and copy image URL
Go to ....
 
in .... web, past the image URL and hit the accept on that line
select "wiki imagmap"
start drawing
 
when you are done, copy everything out of the box into a simple editor like notepad
 
starting at the first rectangle or polygon
replace all [[ with [


Some URs are meant to stay open for a while.  Please contact the editor working on them before closing.  Some examples are:
replace all |]] with ]
* The UR contains a tag such as [NOTE], [CLOSURE], or any other [xxx]. Unless -- it is a [CLOSURE] that has already passed. The [[Community_Plugins,_Extensions_and_Tools#UR_Overview_Plus_.28URO.2B.29|URO+ extension]] makes it easy to spot these
replace all | with " "
** Very old [CLOSURE] URs might be ripe for closure -- check carefully.
replace all ]] with ]
* The UR contains a request from the editor not to close it.
* There is clearly communication going on between the reporter and one or more editors.


=== Please Do Not Mass-Edit ===
Correct the image.
Use parameters you would use with any image link. Use thumb or frameless if you want to control size


Do not perform edits that affect large numbers of segments at once. Specifically, avoid the Select Entire Street button completely. Doing so makes it difficult to tell who fixed what parts of the map to solve different URs. While we recognize that sometimes a solution might involve fixing a road name over an entire section of road or dividing/undividing it, for example, we ask that you defer these updates toward the end of the raid.

__TOC__


Level 5 and 6 locks usually indicate that an unorthodox treatment to the map for those segments was necessary. They are also used for Freeway segments that we believe are accurate and up-to-date with the best information available at the current time. Please check with local editors before making any changes to these segments. Consider use WME Color Highlights or WME Toolbox extensions to highlight L5- and L6-locked segments.
==About this map raid==
<!-- add any important information important to the raid here -->
<!-- keep this list short. link to other pages where possible.-->
Please read the entire MapRaid wiki. If you are still uncertain what to do about something you see on the map, please ask your group leader.  


=== Micro-Doglegs ===
Beginning and junior editors -- find a senior editor and start asking questions. Take this raid as a learning opportunity. Everything new you learn -- do a little follow-up reading in the wiki to make sure you understand. The more you learn, and the more positive interaction you get with the senior editors, the better you can prepare yourself for a future rank upgrade or area expansion. There are always a few promotion announcements at the end of every map raid.


We utilize these extensively throughout the state to engineer turn- vs. stay/keep/exit instructions based on the driving experience approaching many junctions, regardless of the angle any road might depart at. Be sure to zoom in really close at each junction where there might be a question about its geometry or routing to check for a micro-dogleg.
'''Thank You for your help with the map.'''


==Local Guidance==
===Mapraid UR Rules===
We will follow the [[Update_Requests_in_Waze_Map_Editor#The_resolution_process_.2F_Etiquette|usual US UR etiquette]] with one exception:
During the Map raid, the wait time is reduced to
4
days.
Do not close URs if the UR contains a tag such as [NOTE], [CLOSURE], or any other [MESSAGE] -- check with the editor who placed the tag.


=== Road Types, Names, and Functional Classification (FC) ===
=== Do Not Mass-Edit ===
DO NOT perform edits that affect large numbers of segments at once. We want to be able to see how URs and other problems got resolved. Mass edits can be done at the end of the map raid.


<!-- status of FC implementation, if applicable -->
[[File:Jct 4 offset align.png|frameless|right|100px]]
=== Micro-Doglegs ===
We use [[Glossary#Micro-dogleg|micro-doglegs]] to control turn- vs. stay/keep/exit instructions. Zoom in very close to see the closely-spaced geometry nodes. Preserve them.


We follow the general [[Road_types_usa#Quick_reference_chart|US standards for road types]] based on the hybrid rule of FC and Route Type. FC-based upgrades have been completed xxx. In xxx, all yyy and zzz are set correctly but some roads that should be www might not be set correctly. If you find roads that seem to need to be reclassified, please work with one of the raid hosts.
=== Road Types, Names, and Functional Classification (FC) ===


There are xxx diferent types of numbered routes in yyy
In
Pennsylvania
, we follow general [[Road types#Quick_reference_chart|US standards for road types]] based on the hybrid rule of FC and Route Type.
Special road names are
* Federal: '''I-195 E''', '''US-9'''
* Federal: '''I-195 E''', '''US-9'''
* State: '''SR-35 S''', '''SR-72'''
* State: '''SR-35 S''', '''SR-72'''
* County: '''CR-537''', '''CR-4'''
** If the state road appears on the sign that drivers see as PA-xxx, use that in the road name. <!--* Most signs for the Pennsylvania Turnpike refer to it as "Penna Turn Pike".-->
When a segment has more than one name and/or more than one route designation, name it in a way that will be most useful to the wazer listening to navigational instructions. This means using the name that appears on the most frequently encountered signs. If the name on the signs changes very frequently, keep it consistant by using the most consistantly-used name. If both the name and the route designation consistantly appear on the same sign, use the name.All other names/route designations should be entered as alternate names. You can read more about this in [[Road_Naming_(USA)#Concurrent_names|Concurrent names on US roads]].
If a road has more than one name follow the standard for [[Road names#Concurrent_names|Concurrent names on US roads]].


For more information on correct names and road types, please [[#Mapping_Resources|see Mapping resources below.]]
===Road Locks===

===Locking Standards===
===Places===
{{:USA/Northeast/Locking standard}}
Pennsylvania generally follows the US standards for [[Places]], but there are some exceptions. 
Please see the [//w-tools.org/ValidationInfo?rules=Pennsylvania the Pennsylvania Places Validation Rules] in the [//w-tools.org/PlaceBrowser?group=MapRaidPhilly Map Raid Place Browser] for more details. 


These are the minimum lock level guidelines. Higher level locks can be used in exceptional circumstances. Before locking a road, be sure its information is complete and up to date, including house numbers, if available. If the road should be locked above your editing level, be sure to request an appropriate lock. For more information, please see
Trust the rules in the places browser.
<!-- substitute the name of the appropriate state, if appropriate
[[New_Jersey#Major_roads|New Jersey Major Roads]]. -->
=== Places ===
<!-- check the local standard on this -->
* Complex, intricate, or otherwise critical Places, such as airports, hospitals, police/fire departments, or many urban parks should be locked at least to Level X.
* Gas stations and other types of places fundamental to the functionality of the Waze app should also be locked at least to Level X, but only after at least all the Brand, Name, and Address have been filled in. Remember to ask locals for help if needed.
* If you can't lock it to the correct level, lock it as high as you can and ask for help with the locks.


For more information on Places editing in xxx, please read <!-- correct state places section [[New_Jersey#Places|New Jersey - Places]] -->.
<!--
===City Names===
City names are not required on Freeways and Ramps. Every other segment should have a city name. Use the city, borough, or township name, or else the Census Designated Place name. Do not use postal names or areas.

;Left turns are prohibited when:
:* a posted sign prohibits the left turn
:* there are two double yellow lines Sometimes, there is a raised median or diagonal striping between.This is often seen in the form of the "bubble" prior to a dedicated left turn lane,
:* there is a dedicated left turn lane in the main road, not counting a bi-directional "suicide" center turn lane.
 
;Left turns are allowed when:
:* They are not prohibited (see above)
:* Left turns are even allowed across a double-yellow line into a driveway or private road or parking lot. Double-yellow lines are usually interrupted at a public street where a left turn is permitted.

About this map raid

Please read the entire MapRaid wiki. If you are still uncertain what to do about something you see on the map, please ask your group leader.

Beginning and junior editors -- find a senior editor and start asking questions. Take this raid as a learning opportunity. Everything new you learn -- do a little follow-up reading in the wiki to make sure you understand. The more you learn, and the more positive interaction you get with the senior editors, the better you can prepare yourself for a future rank upgrade or area expansion. There are always a few promotion announcements at the end of every map raid.

Thank You for your help with the map.

Mapraid UR Rules

We will follow the usual US UR etiquette with one exception: During the Map raid, the wait time is reduced to 4 days. Do not close URs if the UR contains a tag such as [NOTE], [CLOSURE], or any other [MESSAGE] -- check with the editor who placed the tag.

Do Not Mass-Edit

DO NOT perform edits that affect large numbers of segments at once. We want to be able to see how URs and other problems got resolved. Mass edits can be done at the end of the map raid.

Micro-Doglegs

We use micro-doglegs to control turn- vs. stay/keep/exit instructions. Zoom in very close to see the closely-spaced geometry nodes. Preserve them.

Road Types, Names, and Functional Classification (FC)

In Pennsylvania , we follow general US standards for road types based on the hybrid rule of FC and Route Type. Special road names are

  • Federal: I-195 E, US-9
  • State: SR-35 S, SR-72
    • If the state road appears on the sign that drivers see as PA-xxx, use that in the road name.

If a road has more than one name follow the standard for Concurrent names on US roads.

Road Locks

In Pennsylvania we have a set minimum standard for locking roads based on segment type. Any road of a certain segment type must be locked at least to the rank (level) in the chart below. Roads may be locked higher for protection and special situations (areas with construction, tricky design, frequent mistakes, imaging inaccuracies, and the like), but should not be locked lower.

A great time to implement these locks is while bringing the road types of an area into compliance with the current US road type standards (FC and highway systems). Lock the roads based on type after they've been set to current US road type standards.

Pennsylvania Minimum Locking Rank Standard
Segment Type Statewide
 Freeway  5
 Ramp  Highest rank of connected segments
 Major Highway  3
 Minor Highway  3
 Primary Street  2
 Street  1 (Auto)
 Private Road  1 (Auto)
 • • • • Ferry • • • •   5
 |-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-| Railroad |-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|  2

Note: Do Not Mass Edit just to update locks to these standards, these can be adjusted as you find them while editing other aspects of the segments such as FC, speed limits, naming, etc.

Some segments still warrant higher locks and care should be taken when setting segment lock to these standards to look for and protect these special setups with higher locks. Some examples; segments which are part of BDP, U-turn prevention, or using micro-doglegs, or other complex intersection setups.

Places

Pennsylvania generally follows the US standards for Places, but there are some exceptions. Please see the the Pennsylvania Places Validation Rules in the Map Raid Place Browser for more details.

Trust the rules in the places browser.


How to order a Philly cheesesteak

If you go to Pat's or Geno's, don't ask for a cheese steak -- that's redundant. Say "One, provolone, with". Or, if you must, "One, wiz, with".

Communication

We will use #Slack Channels. There is a Pennsylvania Raid general channel and also a channel for each raid group. Please be sure to join the slack WazeMapRaid Team and join the channels for the specific MapRaid and group you are assigned to.

MapRaid Promotions

Some editors really let their bright side out, and let their community skills shine. This is even more evident in a concerted group effort with high-density editing like a MapRaid!. Editors of all ranks working closely with each other and the Champs, really lets us everyone get to know each other, and allows certain editors to be recognized for their skills and effort.

When the Champs see someone consistently editing well, interacting well with the community, and knowledgeable of the various details from the Wiki, they can issue promotions. This can be anything from the size of a managed area, to a rank increase, or even a new role.

Watch here for results of promotions during and after the raid.
