The '''Tennessee Speed Limit Mapraid'''
will be '''23 September''' through '''3 October  2016'''.
The participants will be divided into several
groups, one for each section of the map. Each group will have both local and senior editors, one of which will be the "Group leader" - listed in blue below. Please direct all questions to your group leaders. The raid hosts will be available across all areas for added support.
== Goals ==
# The primary goal of this mapraid is to set speed limits on {{Minor Highway}} and {{Primary Street}} segments throughout the state of Tennessee. Freeways and Major Highways should already have 100% of speed limits set, but if you come across one that is incorrect please bring it to your group leader's attention.
# Roads with the {{Street}} type are also within the scope of the raid, but are considered low priority and editors should not expend significant time on them unless associated with an update request. Mass editing of speed limits on streets within urban areas based on local laws and regulations is discouraged during the raid.
# Many minor Highways are state routes that need to have their names properly formatted (see below for details). Doing so is encouraged if this can be easily done when setting speed limits.
# In light of the fact that many rural areas in Tennessee have significant amounts of basemap, please also make basic common-sense edits as you work on the mapraid goals -- fix bad turns and other obviously wrong information on the segments you are editing, but keep focused on the mapraid goals. If you see bigger problems that can be addressed later, or if fixing these issues would significantly impede progress on the other three goals, contact your group leader or[[File:Google form icon.PNG|frameless|15px|link=//docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSffylnoHWzXgZV4PbZ5A0d16sUigAxwOVFvmidLahfF56_Gtg/viewform?c=0&w=1]][//docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSffylnoHWzXgZV4PbZ5A0d16sUigAxwOVFvmidLahfF56_Gtg/viewform?c=0&w=1 record it in this form].

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 (=).


== Communication ==
==Accepted parameters:==
When you are editing in the raid area, please [[Waze_Map_Editor/Chat#Visible.2FInvisible|set yourself visible]] and enable the [[Map_Editor_Interface_and_Controls#Live_Users|Live Users]] layer. We will use [http://wazeusa.slack.com/messages/general Slack Channels] If you are not already part of the WazeUSA slack team, please look for your invitation to slack after mapraid registrations are processed. If you have trouble getting into the slack team or your group channel, please reach out to one of the MapRaid organizers.


You can also use WME chat. The [http://www.waze.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=819&t=95038 WME Chat addon] is recommended.
*<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.

}}


==Important / Mapraid guidelines==
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 (=).  
[[File:Choose imperial units.png|thumb|right]]Please read the entire MapRaid wiki and familiarize yourself with the guidance on the [[Tennessee|Tennessee]] wiki page. If you are still uncertain what to do about something you see on the map, please ask your group leader '''Thank You for your help with the map.'''


===Speed Limit Guidelines===
Use Waze Street View to find Speed Limit Signs. You may also get information from local drivers. You may use information from local ordinances posted on county or city websites. Do not rely on predicted speeds (with "verified" check box).


Please set your WME preferences to '''imperial''' and enter speed limits in miles per hour.
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.


[[File:SpeedLimitReminders.png|frameless|right|400px]]Some segments have unverified speed limits. These speed limits were predicted by Waze. We must check each unverified speed limit. If it is correct, we can use the "Verified" check box.  If it is not correct, we must replace the speed limit value.


Tennessee follows the [[Speed_limits/USA|US guideline]] for speed limits, with a few exceptions listed below.
For example an Event row should look like this;


====Summary of National Guidelines====
{{Tlx|Event/Item|name=''EVENT NAME''|date{{=}}14/10|in progress|username|updated{{=}}14/08}}
<div style="float:right;">[[File:Speed_Limit_70.png|50px|thumb|Right|Regulatory<br/>Yes]]<br/>[[File:Advisory Speed Plaque.png|50px|thumb|Advisory<br/>No]]</div>
*Only map speeds found on '''regulatory''' white rectangular signs with black lettering.
* Do not map '''advisory''' speed limits (generally an orange or amber rectangular sign with black lettering).
* Where there are variable speed limits, map only the speed limit which is in effect most of the time during daylight hours (most hours of the day, days of the week).
* Do not map special speed limits for special vehicles. Waze only supports speed limits for private passenger cars.
* Where the speed limit changes, make it change in the map. A new junction may need to be added, but '''do not add a new junction for a speed limit if it will be within 200 feet of an existing junction.'''


====Tennessee Specific Guidelines====


According to Tennessee Code Annotated [http://law.justia.com/codes/tennessee/2010/title-55/chapter-8/55-8-152 55-8-152], the following '''maximum''' speed limits apply in Tennessee, with individual counties and municipalities setting lower speeds on individual roads as needed:
If there are multiple editors it should look like this


* Interstates and limited access freeways (urban and rural): 70 MPH
{{Tlx|Event/Item|name=''EVENT NAME''|date{{=}}14/10|in progress|username1|username2|updated{{=}}14/08}}
* Divided highways: 65 MPH
* Undivided and two-lane roads: 55 MPH
* Residential streets: 30 MPH


Do NOT use the above to set speed limits on roads! However, if a UR reports a speed limit higher than one of those listed above, the report should be treated with skepticism.


In addition, many counties and municipalities have enacted ordinances that establish default speeds for certain road classes. Use these data only as a last resort if you have exhausted all other options, and are able to confirm the absence of signage in street view. Even so, do not use this information to mass edit speed limits onto neighborhood streets, but instead focus on Primary Streets and above.


'''DO NOT''' map the following speed limits:
'''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.'''
————————————————————————————————————


* Construction zones - contact a state or area manager instead
* Variable speed limits based on digital signs - these can be found on several freeways
* School zones or other time-based speed limits - map to the maximum speed


===Base Map Areas===
There are still many areas in Tennessee which have not been touched by editors since the "base map" was imported in 2009. Only touch these areas if it is necessary to reach the objectives of this mapraid. If no information is available for setting Speed Limits, do not fix these parts of the map. These areas will be addressed at a later time.


* Before setting speed limits on a segment, set the road direction correctly and correct all turns and other obviously incorrect information.
''The actual contents of this page '''will only be visible''' in the [[{{BasePage2 }}/Closures|Major Events table]], or when editing this page.''
** Please use the TDOT FC Maps (see link on the TN wiki page) to determine road numbers and format (SR-xxx or TN-xxx).
** The FC maps list a large number of roads that had classifications upgraded in summer 2016. These roads are currently mapped as streets in Waze, but will be upgraded to Primary Street. Please do not fix these roads unless ALL other mapraid goals have been met in your area, as these will be addressed after the raid.
* If roads are very bad and very difficult to fix, you may report the problem to your group leader.

You are responsible for every edit you make, whether you make it by hand or use a script. Every edit you make should meet the goals of this mapraid AND make a noticeable improvement to the map. Do not make edits simply to gain points without improving the map. If a segment is "good enough" for the waze map, do not edit it.
{{Event/Item|name=NYC 1/2 Marathon & St. Patricks' Day Parade|date=03 annual|pl=https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Ira6IdyS3x3YtAlTqoXbU1Muw4ANl8rq7af2zKLcCtM/edit#gid=339510355|area=NYC|road=5 Boroughs|status=submitted|updated=2017/02/09|Rfrsw101|jdelosa|johnsninja58|PesachZ}}


If it looks like you are making unnecessary edits or hunting for points, you may be banned from this mapraid and from future mapraids. In addition, Waze will throttle your edits and points if you use scripts excessively.

Some editors have made URs about speed limits they have seen on the road. These all contain the string "mph" or are tagged with [WSLM]. If you can find these URs, you can use them to help you set the correct speed limit on that segment.


Do not just update the speed limit on one segment where the UR was and close the UR. Do your research and update the speed limit on that whole section of road where the user has driven. Additionally, add any speed limits on any easily correctable segments such as connecting roads with visible speed limit signs.  After all of that has been completed, please follow correct procedure with closing speed limit URs with appropriate closing comments. If you have concerns about one that needs to be closed, please let your group leader know.
{{Event/Item|name=TD 5 Boro Bike Tour|area=NYC|date=05 First Sunday annual|road=5 Boroughs|pl=https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Ira6IdyS3x3YtAlTqoXbU1Muw4ANl8rq7af2zKLcCtM/edit#gid=790135118|Rfrsw101|jdelosa|johnsninja58|PesachZ|status=submitted|updated=2017/02/08}}


Other types of URs are not a focus of this mapraid. If you spot a big problem which should be addressed, please let a group leader know.

=== Road Types, Names, and Functional Classification (FC) ===

Road type classification is not a focus of this map raid. Freeways, Major Highways, and minor highways should already be classified correctly, while Primary Streets will be addressed after the raid. If you see and easily-fixable problem on the segments you are editing for speed limits, please consult with your group leader before fixing it.
{{Event/Item|name=Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade|area=NYC|road=Herald Square|pl=https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Ira6IdyS3x3YtAlTqoXbU1Muw4ANl8rq7af2zKLcCtM/edit#gid=1774745119|date=11 Last Thursday Annual|source=http://social.macys.com/parade/#route|status=submitted|Rfrsw101|jdelosa|johnsninja58|PesachZ|updated=2017/02/08}}


Road Names are not a primary focus of this map raid, but if you see an easily-fixable problem on the segments you are already editing, please fix it. State highway names need to be in either TN-xxx or SR-xxx format as per the TDOT FC maps. If you see any large problems with road naming, please let a group leader know.

Any major issues that need to be address will be followed up by local editors after the MapRaid conclusion.  Issues such as city name merging, large scale naming (primary or alt), etc, will be handled after the fact.  Remember, the concentration is speed limits and lock levels.
 
==Mapping Resources==
Use Street View and Satellite View from within Waze and the sources listed below. Do not use any unauthorized online mapping resources and if you have any questions on legitimacy of a resource, please talk to you group leader.

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.

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}}
