=== Functional Classifications ===
The Waze Connected Citizens program, also known as CCP brings cities and citizens together to answer the questions “What’s happening, and where?” We exchange publicly available incident and road closure reports, enabling our government partners to respond more immediately to accidents and congestion on their roads. In turn, we aggregate our partners' data on the Waze platform, resulting in one of the most succinct, thorough overviews of current road conditions today.  
Wisconsin follows the [[National_resources/USA/Functional_classification|Functional Classification]] (FC) system for the USA.


To help update the current Wisconsin roadways to the new functional classifications, go to the [[Wisconsin/Resources|Wisconsin Functional Classification Inventory]].
With the addition of city data, Wazers will be even safer on the roads and more knowledgeable about construction, marathons, floods or anything else that can cause delays. And for our government partners, publicly-available Waze data is a powerful tool to build more efficient cities. Real-time information from drivers is essential; no one knows more about what's happening in a city than the people who live there. In an era with smart phones, smart cars and smart homes, isn't it about time we start building smarter cities?

===== Additional Info =====
With the addition of city data, Wazers will be even safer on the roads and more knowledgeable about construction, marathons, floods or anything else that can cause delays. And for cities, real-time information from drivers is essential; no one knows more about what's happening in a city than the people who live there.
====== Expectations ======
We understand that higher locks mean there is less available to lower rank and beginning editors. We would like to emphasize that Waze Map Editing is a community activity and, within the US, it is not possible to increase to rank 3 or above without community involvement. It is the responsibility of all members of the editing community to actively reach out, recruit, and mentor new editors.


It is OK to '''temporarily lock segments below standards''' for more junior editors. Area Managers are encouraged to monitor their areas for non-standard locks and follow up with other editors on any discrepancies. As a courtesy, any down-locks made outside your area should be brought to the attention of the local area manager.
The Connected Citizens Program is an ongoing partnership between Waze and various international government agencies to share publicly-available data in order to accomplish two goals:
*Improve the quality of the Waze App
*Utilize Waze data to improve city planning, inform infrastructure decisions and increase the efficiency of day-to-day operations


====== One-Way Streets ======
Waze exchanges publicly available incident and road closure reports, enabling our government partners to respond more immediately to accidents and congestion on their roads. In turn, Waze aggregates the partners' data on the Waze App platform, resulting in succinct and thorough overviews of current road conditions.
The +1 locks on one-way segments originated as guidance from GLR RC GizmoGuy411 based on trends found while  performing Area Manager Reviews:
He would encourage editors to +1-lock one-way street/PS in order to explicitly signal, "Yes, the legwork has been done in order to confirm this segment really is one-way, and it's not a soft-directional issue."


== Existing Partners ==
The first ten partners in the program, called the “W10” by Waze, are Rio de Janeiro, Brazil; Barcelona, Spain; Jakarta, Indonesia; Tel Aviv, Israel; San Jose, Costa Rica; Boston, Massachusetts; Los Angeles County, California; as well as the New York Police Department and the states of Utah and Florida.

# France – Northern France, Tollway Authority

# Portugal – Brisa/Via Verde (Portugal Tollway Authority)
# Rome – Rome Center for Mobility
# Spain – City of Barcelona
# Spain – Government of Catalonia
# United Kingdom – Transport for London


The National Wiki contains the standard information regarding proper elevation of segments.  What we are doing in Wisconsin is expanding on those standards to create a more accurate representation of the segments.<br />
'''Middle East - 2 Partners'''
# Israel - City of Tel-Aviv
# Israel - Holon Municipality


Basic elevation is determined using the following rules:
'''Asia-Pacific - 2 Partners'''
* All roads start at Ground elevation
# Indonesia - City of Jakarta
* If a segment is above another segment, it should be set to +1 relative to the lower segment's elevation (to account for multiple segments overlapping)
# Australia - Transportation Management Centre of New South Wales
* If a segment is a tunnel (not just an underpass), it should be set at -1, and Tunnel should be checked.<br />


'''Bridges'''<br />
== How to Join ==
Definition:
* If a segment travels over a river or body of water, it is considered a bridge
* If a segment travels over another segment, it is considered it a bridge (aka: overpass).
* If a segment is artificially elevated to pass over ground level objects and natural features, it is considered a bridge.<br />


Junctioning:<br />
Currently Waze offers data exchange programs with government entities and private road owners and operators. Please fill out the [http://docs.google.com/a/penthion.nl/forms/d/19BGX1zD6HCLvx5nNMQnfrSRS3ZiVft_Q6G2GPiRMVqE/viewform Waze Data Exchange Interest Form] to share data with Waze and to apply for participation in Waze's Connected Citizens program.
Place a junction at the start/end of the bridge where the land falls away.
*If there is already a junction within 500 feet of the bridge, do not add a new junction.
*Do not junction a bridge if it is less than 75 feet in length. If you believe you need to do so, contact an SM or LAM for approval.<br />


'''Ramps'''<br />
== Who can Join ==
Ramps should always be set to Ground. The only time a ramp segment is set above or below ground is when it travels above or below another segment as a bridge or a tunnel. This is most often the case in large interchanges, like the Marquette interchange in Milwaukee. When a ramp traverses over or under another segment, you should follow the elevation guidelines listed above.<br />


Do not segment a ramp like you would for a bridge, unless it takes on several different elevations.<br />
Local Government Agencies, Municipalities, Cities, States, Departments of Transportation, Departments of Public Works, Utility Companies, 911 Emergency Dispatch Centers and Police Departments


Because of the complexity of interchanges, please contact your State Manager before making adjustments.<br />
Several qualifications:
*Waze aims to work with partners who have additional sources of data, such as road closures, street cameras or road sensors, not found within the Waze app
*Geographical diversity
*Technical capability
*Eagerness and readiness to innovate
*Waze needs in the market (need more data or want to grow focus markets)

====Dirt Roads====
Waze Data CCP: [http://data-waze.com/2014/10/01/introducing-the-w10-and-the-new-connected-citizens-platformprogram/ Introducing the W10 And The New Connected Citizens Platform]
All drivable unpaved (Dirt/Gravel) roads should be classified as per Functional Classification. The Unpaved checkbox should then be selected, as this will allow the "Avoid Dirt Roads" feature in Waze to behave properly.


Trails and non-standard roads that may require special equipment to drive on, should either not be mapped, or be classified as an "Off Road / Not Maintained" road with the Unpaved checkbox ticked.
Video: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YmRW47XJfhQ Waze Connected Citizens Launch Highlights | Waze] (1:25)


====Toll Roads====
Video: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AMqbh3rqZRs Waze W10 10/1/14 Launch Event Panel, hosted by Baratunde Thurston] (46:44)
There are currently no toll roads in Wisconsin. No segments within the state of Wisconsin should be marked as 'Toll Road'.


====Pedestrian Boardwalk, Walking Trail, Stairway====
Video: [http://launch.newsinc.com/share.html?trackingGroup=69017&siteSection=ndn&videoId=27379259 NYPD Partners with Waze for Road Safety] (1:13)
These should not be mapped without approval from a State Manager for Wisconsin or the Regional Coordinator. These segment types can cause routing issues even when not connected to a drivable segment.

It is not illegal to cross a solid white line in the state of Wisconsin, unless posted [https://docs.legis.wisconsin.gov/statutes/statutes/346/II/13/3 Wisconsin Statute 346.13(3)].
<br>
[[File:Solid White Line Statute.png|thumbnail]]
Some examples are: road edge lines, lane divider lines, or on/off ramp lane lines. Even though it is not illegal, it is a safe driving practice to not cross these lines.  When mapping on/off ramps, please follow national guidelines in the [[Junction Style Guide/Interchanges]] section.
<br>

# The u-turn can be made in safety and without interfering with other traffic.
Forum: [http://www.waze.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=129&t=120169 CCP Forum Post]
# Not upon any curve, or upon the approach to or near the crest of a grade, where the vehicle cannot be seen by the driver of any other vehicle approaching from either direction within five hundred (500) feet.
# Not explicitly prohibited by signage or local municipal law.
# You are not required to back up during the course of the u-turn in order to complete it.


For Waze routing, u-turns should only be enabled where they provide the potential for improved routing, which includes recovering from missed turns. A common example is a median-divided primary street that has homes/businesses with their driveways/entrances directly on it, where reaching them would otherwise require lengthy, multi-turn deviations through side roads in order to end up on the correct side of the median.
Forum: [http://www.waze.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=129&t=120169#p1038875 Canned CCP Template]


U-Turns are '''not''' allowed on any Freeway or Expressway.

====Construction Zones====
 
If a construction zone is expected to last one week or longer, the following options are allowed to be made to the area:
*Change speed limit to lower posted limit
*Add crossovers for traffic changes and make one-way Freeway segments two-way.
 
If any or all of these changes are made, add the construction zone to the following spreadsheet for easy reference and followup by other editors.

The Waze Connected Citizens program, also known as CCP brings cities and citizens together to answer the questions “What’s happening, and where?” We exchange publicly available incident and road closure reports, enabling our government partners to respond more immediately to accidents and congestion on their roads. In turn, we aggregate our partners' data on the Waze platform, resulting in one of the most succinct, thorough overviews of current road conditions today.

With the addition of city data, Wazers will be even safer on the roads and more knowledgeable about construction, marathons, floods or anything else that can cause delays. And for our government partners, publicly-available Waze data is a powerful tool to build more efficient cities. Real-time information from drivers is essential; no one knows more about what's happening in a city than the people who live there.

The Connected Citizens Program is an ongoing partnership between Waze and various international government agencies to share publicly-available data in order to accomplish two goals:

  • Improve the quality of the Waze App
  • Utilize Waze data to improve city planning, inform infrastructure decisions and increase the efficiency of day-to-day operations
