With very few exceptions, every road that is classified as Primary Street or as one of the Highway types will be found on the [http://www.tn.gov/tdot/topic/maps-functional-classification TDOT Functional Classification Maps]. These maps are the key to understanding not only what the proper Waze road type should be, but are also used to determine state highway numbers and naming format.
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.


==Who maintains Tennessee roads?==
It may be helpful to think of Tennessee roads as belonging to four overlapping networks:


'''Federal:''' A network of interstates, US highways, and state and local roads that are part of the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Highway_System_(United_States National Highway System] maintained by the state using federal funding to some degree. State roads that are part of this network can be identified on the TDOT Functional Classification Maps by the small letters "NHS" above the highway shield. These are usually classified in Waze as either {{Freeway}} or {{Major Highway}}, but occasionally as {{minor Highway}}.
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 (=).


{{green|''Example: in Roane/Anderson Counties, TN-95 is part of the NHS because it serves as important access to the facilities at Oak Ridge.''}}
==Accepted parameters:==


'''State and locally maintained roads found on TDOT maps:''' TDOT also maintains a network of state highways in each county using state funds. Overall, this is a fairly small percentage of the total road mileage in each county, and will be mapped as {{Freeway}}, {{Major Highway}}, {{minor Highway}}, or {{Primary Street}}.
*<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 (|).
*<code>updated=</code> the date this event was last updated in this table. This is used to keep the table current, and identify stale entries.


'''Local roads not shown on TDOT maps:''' Individual counties (and many cities) maintain a network of local streets and roads composing the majority of road miles within the state. These will be {{street}} type unless they are private or unpaved roads. Individual jurisdictions may use unique road naming/numbering schemes and some maintain their own GIS websites, so road names and sources of reliable information will vary between counties. For example, Monroe and Meigs counties assign numbers to many county roads, though they may also have local names as well. Incorporated municipalities typically have their own highway departments charged with maintenance and upkeep of these roads.


'''National Park Service and US Forest Service roads:''' The NPS maintains a network of roads within national parks and various other park units, as well as two scenic roads: the Natchez Trace Parkway and the Foothills Parkway. These roads use a functional classification system that is separate from the rest of the state, and most of them do not appear on TDOT maps. See https://wiki.waze.com/wiki/National_Park_Service for mapping guidelines. These roads receive special attention by state and area managers and, in general, should not be changed before consulting with these editors.
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 (=).  


{{green|''Example: When Great Smoky Mountains National Park was established, there were already several state roads across land that was transferred to the NPS. All state highway designations were abolished within the park boundary, and no state funds are currently used to maintain roads within the park. As part of the agreement that saw TN roads turned over to the federal government, no tolls may be collected on these highways - this is why the Smokies is one of the few national parks with no entrance fee.''}}


Within the Cherokee National Forest is a network of forest roads, many of which are only open seasonally. Like roads administered by the National Park Service, forest roads have their own naming and mapping conventions: https://wiki.waze.com/wiki/Forest_Service_Roads
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.


==How to determine road type using a TDOT FC map==
This section serves as a supplement to the [[Tennessee#Functional_Classification|Functional Classification section of the TN wiki page.]] Be sure to review that section for current classification standards. Each map has a legend, as shown in the image below, and roads are color coded based on their intended use.


[[File:TN FC example 1.jpg|600px|frameless|center|Example 1]]
For example an Event row should look like this;


1) This is a major collector, which would typically be a primary street. But, since it is also a state highway (247) as indicated by the triangle shield, it would be upgraded to {{minor Highway}}, the minimum Waze classification for TN numbered state highways.
{{Tlx|Event/Item|name=''EVENT NAME''|date{{=}}14/10|in progress|username|updated{{=}}14/08}}


2) This is also a major collector; it is identified by the name Kendron Rd and the number 01907. These five digit numbers, which usually begin with a zero, are NOT mapped in Waze, and are NOT state route numbers! They are simply internal reference numbers that TDOT uses to track '''locally maintained''' roads that are shown on their maps. Therefore, this would be a {{Primary Street}}.


3) This is a minor collector called Greens Mill Rd. It does not have a state highway number, and is maintained by the county. Similar to #2, the number 00972 is not mapped in Waze, and this would be a {{Primary Street}}.
If there are multiple editors it should look like this


4) This is a principal arterial road, which makes it a {{major Highway}}. It is both US-31 and TN-6, as indicated by the presence of both shields, and is also called Main St. It is up to the editor to determine which of these three names belongs in the primary name field in Waze, and which two should be alternate names.
{{Tlx|Event/Item|name=''EVENT NAME''|date{{=}}14/10|in progress|username1|username2|updated{{=}}14/08}}


5) This is a freeway, TN-396, and should be a {{freeway}} in Waze. It is also called Saturn Pkwy.

These rows fill the major Event table, and are modified using the template {{Event/Item}}. If you are working on a Major Event in PesachZ, 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 updated= parameter.


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 (=).

Accepted parameters:

  • name= The name of the event.
  • area= The county or are the event takes place in.
  • date= The estimated date(s) this event happens on.
  • road= The main road(s) affected by this event.
  • pl= A permalink to the affected road(s), or a link to documenting listing all the affected roads (usually a Waze event closure document).
  • source= A link to an official information source for this event, a government website, the hosting organizations webpage, etc.
  • status= 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
    • not submitted produces a red background
    • submitted produces a light green background
    • in progress 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 (|).
  • updated= the date this event was last updated in this table. This is used to keep the table current, and identify stale entries.


The updated parameter (|updated=YY/MM(/DD)|) should be updated any time you update a row. Put the date you are modifying the row after the equals sign (=).


The |date=|, and |updated=| 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.


For example an Event row should look like this;

{{Event/Item|date=14/10|in progress|username|updated=14/08}}


If there are multiple editors it should look like this

{{Event/Item|date=14/10|in progress|username1|username2|updated=14/08}}


Whenever you edit this table, please be sure to include the name of the event you are editing in the summary field under the edit box. ————————————————————————————————————
