A Street ID is a piece of the Waze back-end data structure which contains attributes that are applicable to every segment of a street (and not just on a segment-by-segment basis).
A unique Street ID exists for each unique combination of street, city, and state.
For example, each of the following combinations has a different Street ID:
- Main St, Anytown, Pennsylvania
- Second St, Anytown, Pennsylvania
- Main St, Otherville, Pennsylvania
- Main St, [no city], Pennsylvania
- Main St, Anytown, Oregon
- US-90, [no city], Texas
- US-90, Orange, Texas
- US-90 W, Orange, Texas
- US-90 E, Orange, Texas
- US-90, [no city], Louisiana
Shields are added at the Street ID level.
