Texas Frontage Rds
DO NOT ADD SHIELD TO FRONTAGE RD
Naming
This is guidance for primary and alternate name(s) for Frontage Roads. Important to remember that those using Apple CarPlay or AndroidAuto do not get editable visual turn instruction therefor, choosing primary segment name is very important. We hope that in the future visual turn instruction will work in Apple CarPlay or AndroidAuto.
Primary Name
Primary name should match street signs and/or freeway name if present. We don't want the primary name of the frontage road to change at every intersection. Primary name should only change if the frontage road changes which road it parallels or the named freeway it parallels is no longer named. The primary name Frontage Road should always have Frontage Rd
on end. Also do not add Cardinal Directions unless they are
- Lyndon B Johnson Fwy Frontage Rd
Parallels I-635 in Dallas County. Street signs for turns onto Lyndon B Johnson Fwy's Frontage road commonly say I-635 LBJ Fwy
or LBJ Fwy
or I-635 Lyndon B Johnson Fwy
. It is common knowledge that LBJ
= Lyndon B Johnson
and so in Waze we spell in out so TTS will work.
- US-175 Frontage Rd
Parallels US-175 in Dallas County. Street signs for turns on to US-175 Frontage road commonly say N Highway 175
. It is common in Texas for street signs to spell out US Highways so but we follow national guidelines for naming US Numbered Highways.
- IH-10 Frontage Rd
Parallel I-10 in Harris County. ADD GUIDEANCE are we using name "IH-10 Frontage Rd" or "I-10 Frontage Rd" or "Katy Fwy Frontage Rd" Or "I/IH-10 Katy Fwy Frontage Rd"
If Frontage Rd is a highway itself different then freeway it parallels should be named same as national guidelines for US Numbered Highways
- US-290
Parallels SH-290 Toll in Travis County. As to not mess with Big Detour Prevention Mechanisms we leave these as is. Do not add Frontage Rd
on the end.
- SH-121
ADD GUIDEANCE
Frontage Roads that do not have a name or signage does not exist or signage is Frontage Rd
should be named “XX-XX Frontage Rd” XX-XX being the shielded road it parallels.
- I-14 Frontage Rd
- US-175 Frontage Rd
If Fwy / MH is shared between two shielded roads, use primary XX-XX in primary name same as National Guidance for Concurrent names
Guidance | Example |
---|---|
Generally, shield elements should be placed in the “visual instructions” field (i.e., on line 1). | |
Rarely, shield elements may be placed in the “toward” field (i.e., on line 2) only when the shield is near the bottom of a multi-line sign. | |
Add shields in the order they appear on the sign assembly. | |
Any shield that is preceded by “ᴛᴏ” on the sign should be preceded by “ᴛᴏ” (using small caps) in free text in Waze as well. | |
If two or more adjacent shields have the same direction, omit the direction from all but the last such shield (they “share” this direction)—unless there is a compelling reason not to do so. | |
Do not include text separators between shields, shield directions, or auxiliary legends (“ᴛᴏ”, “ᴠɪᴀ”, “ᴊᴄᴛ”). |
Alt Names:
- Address match, check GIS
- If address is IH-XX or N Interstate XX
- Frontage Rd
- If named fwy add XX-XX Frontage Rd
Ramp Name
Road names#Local freeway names and significant bridges
Not sure if this following section is needed as it’s already national guidance
If named Fwy add • Fwy Name
“to I-635 N • Lyndon B Johnson Fwy”
Fwy Name
“I-635 N • Lyndon B Johnson Fwy”
Example pictures of SV / signage or lack there of:
LBJ “Dallas”
US-175 “N/S Highway 175” “Dallas”
US-290 / SH-290 “Austin”
I-20 “Dallas”
I-14 / US-190 “Killeen”
Guidance | Example |
---|---|
Generally, shield elements should be placed in the “visual instructions” field (i.e., on line 1). | |
Rarely, shield elements may be placed in the “toward” field (i.e., on line 2) only when the shield is near the bottom of a multi-line sign. | |
Add shields in the order they appear on the sign assembly. | |
Any shield that is preceded by “ᴛᴏ” on the sign should be preceded by “ᴛᴏ” (using small caps) in free text in Waze as well. | |
If two or more adjacent shields have the same direction, omit the direction from all but the last such shield (they “share” this direction)—unless there is a compelling reason not to do so. | |
Do not include text separators between shields, shield directions, or auxiliary legends (“ᴛᴏ”, “ᴠɪᴀ”, “ᴊᴄᴛ”). |
Visual Turn Instructon
Should be added added to all public street turns onto frontage road. PLR turns for example not top priority. Cross over roads higher priority than side streets.
Visual instructions Box should match naming guidelines above but add shield at beginning.
Visual Instruction Box could be made of up two or three components
Check with street view or BOTG to verify what signage actually says
Roadway Shield
Plus Fwy Name
(if applicable) or Local Street Signs
Plus Frontage Rd
Provide Examples W/ Photos
Toward Box should be used only if control city is visible in used.
Provide Examples W/ Photos
Use same Example pictures from above but add VIO WME box

TTS
TTS should match VIO
• Between Numbered highway and Name
>> Before control Cities
Include same examples pictures as above with TTS WME box.
