== Closures ==

Construction Project or Emergencies that cause roads to be closed can be reported in the WV GHO. You will need to have a PL to the segment(s) that need closed, the start time and the end time, and the reason for the closure. 


You can also report Construction projects or emergencies that cause roads to be closed on this [http://docs.google.com/forms/d/1oGINt4UEkBV0Par5VCingXzTZpJq9KjG8GbZpGqbRow/viewform Closure Form].  Events that cause road closures should be reported on this [http://docs.google.com/forms/d/1R0XIsGkHQmk8Nc0U5DDID1PwMQWqLMwmindiLDFwcjo/viewform Event Form].  Current closures and events in West Virginia that have been reported to Waze are shown in the [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1uuqKJ66upFjKmrNCUtnVUeDkhPi0MB-chiGS_s_dNW0/pubhtml West Virginia Closure Sheet].

=== WV Route Naming ===

<big>Separate Page with this info</big>

==== Introduction ====

''The West Virginia Department of Transportation (WVDOT) provides [http://www.transportation.wv.gov/highways/programplanning/gti/GIS/MAPS/Pages/WVMapGISSelect.aspx County Highway Maps] for each of the 55 Counties in West Virginia (WV). Those County Maps provide information on Route Designation for each road WV maintains. The following are the types of roads typically seen on each of the County Maps and how they should be named and typed in the Waze Map. At this time, WV does not have a GIS Functional Classification (FC) Map.


Any questions, please ask in the WV Google Hangout (WV GHO) or [[West_Virginia#Area_Managers|Private Message]] (PM) one of the State Managers. 

''

==== Interstate ====

[[File:WV_Interstate.PNG]]


* Waze Road Type – Freeway (FW)

* Name – I-64 N (direction is always one-way and always includes the cardinal direction)

* Lock Level - L5 or higher

==== US Route ====

[[File:US Route.PNG]]


* Waze Road Type – Typically Major Highway (MH) unless FC upgrades

* Name – US-60 (if divided/One-Way, include cardinal direction, e.g. US-60 N)

* ''US BUS/SPUR/LOOP are Minor Highway (mH) unless FC upgrades''

* Lock Level - L4 or higher

==== WV State Route ====

[[File:WV_Route.PNG]]


* Waze Road Type – Typically Minor Highway (mH)

* Name – WV-10 (if divided/One-Way, include cardinal direction, e.g. WV-10 S)

* ''WV BUS/SPUR/LOOP are Primary Street unless FC upgrades''

* Lock Level - L3 or higher

==== WV County Route ====

[[File:WV_County Route.PNG]]


* Waze Road Type – Street (unless FC upgrades higher)

* Name – CR-2 or CR-2/12

* Lock Level - Depends on FC; L1 or higher


==== WV HARP Route ====

[[File:WV_Harp_Route.PNG]]


* Waze Road Type – Street 

* Name – '''not typically used'''. Only if no name for that street can be found (please ask in the GHO first). HARP-901 or HARP-901/20. 

* Lock Level - L1

==== WV FANS Route ====

[[File:WV_FANS_Route.PNG]]


* Waze Road Type – Based on Functional Classification Only

* Name – '''Alt Name Only''' if FC upgrades road type to Primary Street or higher. Drop the leading digit. FANS-863

* Alt name is needed so we know that a FC upgrade has been applied to what normally should be "Street" in the Waze Map.

* Lock Level - Depends on FC; L2 or higher


==== Functional Classification ====

WV, at this time, does not have a GIS map that will make decision making as to the proper road type (Street/Primary Street/Minor Highway/Major Highway/Freeway) easy or quick. They do have a list of Federal Aid Roads which includes the roads with a functional classification of minor collector or higher. The issue we have found so far, is that it lists that classification by mile markers. We have no sure way of knowing where that classification starts and ends with any great deal of certainty. It can be done with some experience and common sense. Please work with the State Managers to learn more. You can review the [ftp://gis.transportation.wv.gov/HPMS_Reports/WV_FA_Roads_2015.pdf complete list] here. And StephenR1966 has put together a [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1FUNOb5UqYToEZv-mSK5SVxfyUTZqVqJaJyL_otQlyVw/edit#gid=1099177487 Google Sheet] that translates the list into which roads the classification applies to. This is why it's important to have the correct road designation in either the primary or alternate name in order to find a particular road and apply the correct functional classification to it. ''Note that some roads are listed as more than once; this means that they can be for example mH for part and MH for part and PS for part. Please ask in the GHO for more help if you find examples of this.''


==== NOTES ====

* Within City Limits, most roads should have a name; use that instead of the Route Designation and put the Route Designation as the Alt Name. Consult County GIS sources or Street View. 

* Most US and WV State Routes do not have a name unless inside city borders (e.g. Main St) or part of a major highway project (e.g. King Coal Highway). Even then, check street view to confirm the name is on the signs.  

* All WV County Roads do have a name; you can find it using Street View or County GIS sources. If you cannot find it, then use the Road Designation as the Primary.

* All FANS Roads are within City Limits. Only put a FANS Designation (and always as Alt Name) if FC upgrades that segment to PS or higher. That lets everyone know the reason for the FC upgrade.

* If the Primary Name includes a "city", then any alternate names must include the same city and vice-versa.  

* Do not deviate from the road type unless the correct Functional Classification has been applied. Doing so can and will create issues with routing.
