Welcome to the Texas Style MapRaid. You have signed up for a MapRaid in rural Texas. This was designed with one two goals in mind: to clean up the rural part of a large state while helping you gain experience as a low ranking editor. This raid is designed to help you gain the knowledge of making decisions and looking for the minute things which help Waze route people more efficiently.
Texas is not following the Waze national functional classification system. Instead, it is following the 100% changeover to functional classification. That means a US Hwy which is classified as a minor arterial is a minor highway. All primary streets you come across can be locked at a rank 3. Minor and major highways, you can leave locked and ask a Texas SM to lock them down.
Basemap Roads
Roads such as those in the image can be deleted. They are basemap roads which are not needed on the map.
After cleaning out basemap roads which have connected to other roads, please be sure to go back and clear out all of the nodes.
This will most likely be the most tedious part of the MapRaid. There are a lot of basemap roads in rural Texas.
Places
Most places in the small towns will be gas stations and schools. To find out information about the school, please Google your respective county name with "ISD" after it. If you are editing in Andrews County, Googling "Andrews ISD" would be what you type to find the schools in the county. A lot of Independent School Districts to spill over into surrounding counties, so it may be beneficial to check the next county over, especially for those towns closer to the border. For those who are editing in bigger cities, please adhere to the Places section in the wiki.

Small Towns
Most towns you will come across are pretty small and very simple to fix.
Use street view to find the city limit signs and make sure they're all correct.
Make sure alternate names also contain the city name on streets with more than one name.
