| '''Map Raid Baltimore''' is will run for approximately 4 days from Sunday, March 8, 2015 17:00 UTC through Thursday, March 12. It is part of a wide-scale MapRaid known as [[MegaMapRaid]].
| | These rows fill the major Event table, and are modified using the template {{tl|Event/Item}}. If you are working on a Major Event in {{RootPage2}}, please add add that event to this table. If the event is already listed, please add your username to the row, preceded by a pipe (|), and change the date to today's date in the <code>updated=</code> parameter. |

|
| |
|
| Baltimore is the largest city in Maryland and the largest independent city in the United States, meaning it is not included or merged with any other County. Baltimore County borders the City on most sides.
| | This template accepts many parameters which must be separated from each other using pipe characters (|), but can be placed in any order and will automatically the correct parts of the table. To use a parameter you must keep the name of parameter (the part before the equals sign (=) identical to this list, and only modify what goes after the equals sign (=). |
|
| |
|
| Charm City has a unique culture, to say the least. If you want to experience some more of the 'eccentric' features of Baltimore as you edit follow these steps:
| | ==Accepted parameters:== |
| * Rent/buy/stream Hairspray (1988), Cry-Baby (1990) or the Wire (2002-2008). They are all fiction but have some truth to them.
| |
| * Get some Old-Bay seasoning, and ignore the packaging. Put it on everything: seafood, french fries, chips, sandwiches, etc. Try using it on the rim of your bloody-mary too.
| |
| * Speaking of booze, try some baltimore flavor (or lack there of): National Bohemian (Natty Boh) is the default beer for Baltimorons, but if you are looking for more flavor try Union Craft Brews, Brewers Art, or Heavy Seas.
| |
| * Finally, complain about the weather. Right now its 20°F and snowing or icing, but in 6 months it will be 95°F and 100% humidity, so we really can't win.

|
| [[File:MD-MMR.png|200px|right]]The city's history spans back to the British Colonial times, as the Port of Baltimore. During the War of 1812, Fort McHenry set the stage for Francis Scott Key to pen our National Anthem, the "Star-Spangled Banner". Through the 1800s-1950s, Charm City experienced growth as a result of trade and industry. However in the 1950s to 1980s, there was drastic decline in part due to drugs, school issues, suburbanization, and the loss of jobs associated with historic industrial operations. The [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Baltimore History of Baltimore Wikipedia] page has lots more information. | | *<code>name=</code> The name of the event. |
| | *<code>area=</code> The county or are the event takes place in. |
| | *<code>date=</code> The estimated date(s) this event happens on. |
| | *<code>road=</code> The main road(s) affected by this event. |
| | *<code>pl=</code> A [[permalink]] to the affected road(s), or a link to documenting listing all the affected roads (usually a Waze event closure document). |
| | *<code>source=</code> A link to an official information source for this event, a government website, the hosting organizations webpage, etc. |
| | *<code>status=</code> Whether this event has been submitted to Waze yet for this season. It accepts the following options spelled only exactly as listed here in order to correctly change the color of the row, filled with anything else will display with a white background |
| | **<code>not submitted</code> produces a red background |
| | **<code>submitted</code> produces a light green background |
| | **<code>in progress</code> produces an orange background. |
| | *Up to six editors can be listed in the table for any event. These can be the editors who are working to get it submitted, maintain the segments, or just have special knowledge of the event/area. They are entered as unnamed parameters. Meaning they are to be entered between two pipe (|) characters of the adjacent parameters. Each editors name (without any spaces) should be separated with a pipe (|). |

| Today Baltimore is fighting to reclaim jobs and [http://www.godowntownbaltimore.com/ revitalize its downtown area]. Popular Inner Harbor attractions such as the [http://www.aqua.org/ National Aquarium] and events such as the Grand Prix and Star Spangled Spectacular have shifted the cities attention to downtown tourism opportunities. At the same time communities further from the downtown core, especially to the west and south, have struggled as blight and crime continue to weigh on the city.
| |
|
| |
|
| ====Baltimore City Roads==== | | The updated parameter (<code>|updated=YY/MM(/DD)|</code>) should be updated any time you update a row. Put the date you are modifying the row after the equals sign (=). |
| Baltimore City is unique in Maryland as the City's [http://archive.baltimorecity.gov/Government/AgenciesDepartments/Transportation.aspx Department of Transportation] assumes responsibility for all roads, from surface streets to interstate highways. Only the tolled tunnel facilities are operated and maintained by the State's [http://www.mdot.maryland.gov/ Department of Transportation]. However, Baltimore '''County''' roads are constructed and maintained through either the County or the State depending on the size and importance.

|
| |
|
| === Raid Areas === | | The <code>|date=|</code>, and <code>|updated=|</code> parameters should use the format YY/MM/DD. The day of the month is optional. Using this format will make it easier to sort the list by updated date. This will help ensure the information on the list is current, and make it easy to find stale rows which may need to be adopted by other editors. |

| ==Important!== | |
| '''Please do not alter any of the following road ''types'' without first consulting a [[#Local Hosts | Local Host]]''': Freeway, Ramp, Major Highway, minor Highway, Primary Street.
| |
| | |
| '''Please do not mass-edit''' Do not perform edits which will affect large numbers of segments at once. The edit history of segments is highly valuable in the process of solving URs. Mass editing effectively mass erases this history, permanently. We ask that all necessary processes which might affect large portions of the map, or long stretches of roads, be reserved until near the end of the MapRaid. This includes the “Select entire street” function.
| |
| | |
| '''Anything locked at 5 or 6?''' Please check with a local editor before making changes. Rank 5 and 6 editors - consider keeping highlights active for locks 5 and 6.
| |
| | |
| '''Close nodes''' We make extensive use of the "micro-dogleg" technique, where a geometry node is carefully placed, at full zoom, directly next to a junction node, in order to set the angle to create a desired Turn/Stay/Exit prompt. Please watch for these if you move any junction node, and be sure to recreate the same angle at the new location.
| |
| | |
| ==Local Guidance== | |
| | |
| ===Functional Classification===
| |
| | |
| In the United States, we set our road types using a national standard called Functional Classification (FC). You can read a detailed explanation in our [http://wiki.waze.com/wiki/Road_types/USA#Functional_classification Road Type Wiki]
| |
| | |
| The Functional Classification has been completed in the Greater Baltimore Metro Area. Occasionally, we find short segments that were missed in the selection process for conversion, and it is important that these be corrected for routing continuity. In general, however, we ask that Road Types not be changed without consulting one of the [[#Local Hosts | Local Hosts]]. In isolated cases, we have chosen to deviate from official classifications, due to errors or outdated information in the MdTA FC maps, or to better accommodate real-life situations and Waze quirks. It is important that these remain intact. Sometimes dirt roads may appear higher on FC maps but shouldn't be used by Waze for routing.
| |
| | |
| If you find an area that doesn't seem to be complete please bring it to the attention of a Local Host for review.
| |
| | |
| '''FC Maps'''
| |
| :We have .KML maps available, compiled by {{Username|nzahn1}}. Please contact him directly if you have any questions about the maps.
| |
| :[https://sites.google.com/site/nzahn1waze/resources FC Maps]
| |
| | |
| ===Locking Rank===
| |
| {{Lock Standard State|MD}}
| |
| | |
| Note that these are minimums and, for protection, certain segments may be at higher lock levels. If you find a road locked to a higher level than its minimum, please leave it locked no lower than that level when you have finished editing.
| |
| | |
| ===Place Editing===
| |
| | |
| Maryland follows the general Wiki guidelines for Places. Items to look for & fix: misspelled names (use proper capitalization!), wrong categories (doctor's offices are generally not hospitals), missing addresses (EVERY business place should have an address!!) poor location (not in the middle of a highway) and incorrectly assigned photos are all over the map. Use the powerful Place Browser (link below) and the information on the [[Places| '''Place editing''']] page to get these places corrected.
| |
| | |
| Review the Waze Wiki Page on approving [https://wiki.waze.com/wiki/Places#Photos_tab photos]
| |
| .
| |
| | |
| If you fill in all (most) of the information in the data fields, raise the lock level to at least a "2" (or higher depending on guidance stated elsewhere in the Waze Wiki).
| |
| | |
| | |
| '''Gas Stations'''<br>
| |
| Gas Stations should be locked to level 3 but, only after all data fields in the gas station have been filled. At least ensure that Brand, Name and Address have information. Remember to ask a hosting local if you need help identifying gas station information. Please read the [[Places/Gas_Station|'''Gas Station''']] page for details about how to maintain gas station Places.
| |
| | |
| For editors below rank 3, once you have completely filled out a gas station with the min required information, please ask for a lock request.
| |
| | |
| ===Toll Roads / HOV / HOT / Truck Lanes===
| |
| | |
| It is our custom to mark the Toll checkbox ''only on the entrance segments'' to Toll Roads. HOV and HOT road types have already been set correctly according to our local practices. If you have a question about one of these lanes, please contact a [[#Local Hosts | Local Host]].
| |
| | |
| To learn more about HOV lanes read more in the [[Carpool,_HOV,_Transit_lanes | Editing Manual]]
| |
| | |
| Special case: Do not alter the ETL (Electronic Toll Lanes) on I-95 North/South. Yes they are highlighted by validator as being a 2-way freeway, but no, its not an issue.
| |
| | |
| ===Construction===
| |
| | |
| There are a number of major construction projects in process within the overall MapRaid area. These construction projects can cause frequent intermittent road closures. Many closures change daily and cause great numbers of URs to appear. When handling URs in one of these areas, be aware that reports of "Turn not allowed", "Missing road", "Wrong driving direction" are common, but may not indicate a map problem that can be fixed, because the physical road situation will change before our edits can take effect.
| |
| | |
| '''Baltimore City''' DOT closures are only intermittently reported on its [http://archive.baltimorecity.gov/government/agenciesdepartments/transportation/trafficadvisories.aspx Traffic Advisory webpage].
| |
| | |
| '''Baltimore County''' closures are frequently posted on the the County's [http://www.baltimorecountymd.gov/Agencies/publicworks/roadclosures/ Road Closure webpage], but some details are often missing.
| |
| | |
| '''Maryland Highway Administration''' posts its closures for state roads, highways, and interstates to the [http://chart.maryland.gov/road_closures/road_closures.asp CHART website].
| |
| | |
| ''' Local TV Station WJZ''' monitors closures and traffic related incidents for the Baltimore region through this [http://baltimore.cbslocal.com/traffic/ map].
| |
| | |
| [[#Local Hosts | Local Hosts]] will attempt to keep editors informed of closures as they are discovered. '''Please contact us''' if you add / modify ANY closure via WME. The sheet below will serve as a database of closures, especially those not listed in the Official Waze Closure sheets:

| |width=100% | |
| |height=300 | |
| |page=false}} | |
| | |
| ===U-turns===
| |
| Generally we can confirm, lock or "harden" U-turns (click to remove the Purple question mark indicating a soft turn -- see [[Turn_restrictions#Turn_restrictions|the Wiki]]) on residential streets, but please avoid confirming them on major streets.
| |
| | |
| ===Alleys===
| |
| '''DO NOT''' map '''NEW''' alleys without FIRST gaining approval from a [[#Local Hosts | Local Host]] (Area manager or higher).
| |
| | |
| If alleys are mapped (e.g. Baltimore City, Metro area), the road type should be set as Parking Lot Road; the other attributes (Name, city, direction, turn restrictions) should be set according to best practices like any other drivable road.
| |
| | |
| Please ensure use of [[#Maryland GIS Resources | GIS]] data and/or Street View to confirm the name of the alley.
| |
| | |
| Waze will route to the closest segment for a set of destination coordinates which may result in the destination being along the alley way.
| |
| | |
| To try to prevent this issue, try several things:
| |
| # Make sure the Waze [[House_number|house number]] is confirmed -- move the house number a little in any direction and save. To force this to be uploaded in the next tile update, make a minor change to a nearby segment. When waze routes to a waze house number, it will always route to the [[House_number#Setting_the_Stop_Point|stop point at the street]]
| |
| # If, after the next tile update, waze seems to be ignoring the Waze house number, you may need to adjust the Google address pin. Wait at least 24 hours after the Google edit is accepted.
| |
| # If all else fails, try creating a private place with the correct address. Ensure this point is closer to the correct street than it is to the alley. Refer to the [[FAQ#What_do_I_do_when_Waze_has_my_destination_or_address_at_the_wrong_location.3F|FAQ]] for additional information.
| |
| | |
| ===UR & MP Guidance===
| |
| | |
| During the Mega Map Raid, we will be shortening the Closure time of UR's without responses to '''2 days'''. Please ensure that there has been no activity on the UR before closing it. If there is a UR that is being actively worked but the reporter has not responded in 2 days '''DO NOT''' close it.
| |
| | |
| Also, always ''leave a closing comment''; no UR should be closed without one.

| == Mapraid edit lists == | |
| | |
| Spreadsheets and forms are being used to streamline management of various group efforts and track important edits. Below you can find links to use these these forms, sheets, and see the lists.
| |
|
| |
| ===Scheduled Edits=== | |
| | |
| These are edits which need to be completed but must be postponed in order to retain history for UR Solving. These edits are designated to specific editors to complete, once they get the green light from the MapRaid! leaders.
| |
| | |
| === Boots on the ground ===
| |
| | |
| We need local boots on the ground to check things. Please add requests for locals to go and scout things in person, as in on the road.
| |
| Some examples when this would be used include to check and see if:
| |
| * The street view is accurate,
| |
| * A road is really closed,
| |
| * A turn really allowed/prohibited, etc.
| |
| | |
| First, try the local slack channel for your area: '''#mmr-md-va-dc'''
| |
| | |
| If you don't have success there, you can try the [https://www.waze.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=246&t=131098 Maryland MMR forum], or post a request to the '''Boots on the Ground''' sheet, to be explored by local editors. To place a new request, or respond to an existing request, please use [//docs.google.com/forms/d/1kPdGMg-9Z2H9x_M0DwzekZ3BoAb8LkKCZmf1vBECxR0/viewform this form].

| == MapRaid Promotions ==
| |
| | |
| Some editors really let their bright side out, and let their community skills shine. This is even more evident in a concerted group effort with high-density editing like a MapRaid!. Editors of all ranks working closely with each other and the Champs, really lets us everyone get to know each other, and allows certain editors to be recognized for their skills and effort.
| |
| | |
| When the Champs see someone consistently editing well, interacting well with the community, and knowledgeable of the various details from the Wiki, they can issue promotions. This can be anything from the size of a managed area, to a rank increase, or even a new role.
| |
| | |
| The following editors have all earned our respect, and gratitude for a job well done. Not all received a promotion, but all were noticed and appreciated.
| |
| | |
| Aside from our local hosts Bugladen, JasonN899, jr1982jr, nzahn1, subs5 and our Regional Coordinator CBenson, we want to recognize the following MMR Editors for their tireless work:
