Revision as of 19:06, 5 July 2017

The 2017 Northeast / New England Meetup MapRaid will begin on July 9th 2017 at 09:00 EDT, with a dedicated half hours session, and then continue informally for one week through July 16th 2017 at 23:59 EDT. The raid will be divided into 4 groups, with group assignments to be determined at the meetup.

MapRaid Goals

The raid is short and the area is large. We don't expect to complete all these goals for the entire area, however these are items that can be worked on throughout the raid area listed here in order of importance. The primary goal of the Meetup Raid are to make Waze route properly in the Upstate NY region by working on these items:

  1. Ensure turns are enabled and confirmed along these routes.
  2. Update incorrect road type classifications,
  3. Correct state and county route names to standard, and

These tasks can often be completed in tandem. While updating state route or county route names, their road type classification can be updated and their turns confirmed. Note: In some urban areas, there may be roads requiring FC upgrades that are not state or county routes.

The secondary goal is to spruce up the area and polish it. This will make the app more useful, and hopefully encourage more local usage. This includes any of the following tasks:

  1. Update hospitals from Doctor / Clinic to Hospital / Urgent Care category,
  2. Add and confirm speed limits,
  3. Update gas stations, and
  4. Complete general basemap confirmation and cleanup.

If you are unsure what to focus on, please contact your Group Leader.

Raid demographics

The map raid area is shown in the map below. This is the comprised of a portion of upstate New York.

Everyone will have editing access to the whole raid area, but please only edit in your groups area boundaries. The groups are identified with thick boundaries and different colors, thinner lines represent county borders.

There will be four raid groups. Group assignments and leadership for the four groups will be assigned at the meetup.

The MapRaid is being coordinated by whoaitspete (PM [Help])   an Area Manager from New York, in coordination with the RC orbitc (PM [Help])  , and the ARC PesachZ (PM [Help])  .

Local Guidance

In addition to the guidance listed below, please see the New York Wazeopedia page for additional information and the full set of state editing standards.

NY Route Name Variations

  • New York State uses NY-## and NY-##X for all state routes and their spurs, loops, etc. (e.g. NY-27, NY-17M)
  • For County Routes, CR-## and CR-##X are used (CR-1 or CR-21B)
    • County route primary names vary from county to county. The primary name should match the LGS and not the country route (blue) shield. CR-XX from the route shield should be used as an alternate name. Some counties will use only CR-XX on their LGS, in which case that is the primary name and no alternate name is necessary. Please consult the county route inventory sheets for naming, but ensure they match LGS as well.
  • Highway name descriptors, such as TRUCK, EXPRESS, etc. should be added in ALL CAPS after the name. (e.g. US-1 TRUCK, or on a concurrent road US-1 TRUCK / US-9 TRUCK)

Functional Classification

Tip: for editors using the FC Color Highlights script: These colors will more-or-less match the NYS DOT FC map:

NYS FC GIS Color Highlights
NYS FC Type Highlight Color
 Interstate = Fwy  black
 Principal Arterial = MH  green
 Minor Arterial = mH  red
 Collector = PS  blue
 Ramp  #8c6946 (unclassified)

NY Minimum Road Lock Standard

Minimum Road Lock Standard
Segment Type Lock
 Freeway  5
 Ramp  Highest Rank of Connected Segment
 Major Highway  3
 Minor Highway  3
 Primary Street  1 (Auto)
 Street 
 Private Road 
1 (Auto)
 |-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-| Railroad |-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|  2
 • • • • Ferry • • • •   5

Note that these are minimum lock levels. Certain segments may be at higher lock levels for protection or due to old standards. If you find a road locked to a higher level than its minimum, please consult a senior editor to determine whether to leave it locked at that level or if its level can be lowered. NYC has a different locking standard, but this area will not be included in the MapRaid.
