===List of Maryland Editors===
Please review the [[National resources/USA/Functional classification|USA Functional Classification page]] and the [https://wiki.waze.com/wiki/Road_types/USA#Quick_reference_chart  FC Quick Reference Chart] for details on this topic. In rare cases, a particular road may require a different type than prescribed in the national guidance. Before changing the type of any road past the bounds of the rules,&nbsp;please post the situation to the [http://www.waze.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=246 Maryland Forum] to receive feedback.  Maryland resources can be found in the following links:
To make it easier for everyone in the GHO, we ask that Maryland editors fill out this form, so we can match user-names with "real" names. The information is available in the google sheet shown below.

===Update Requests===


An Update Request (UR) is a Map Issue reported by a user from the Waze client app. It is also a layer in the Map Editor. See [[Update_Requests_in_Waze_Map_Editor|update requests]] for more information. {{RootPage2}} has a policy of shared UR management. This means that URs are open to all editors and that there is no "ownership" implied when posting the initial comment. However, it is courteous to allow new editors or editors you don't have an informal agreement with an extra day or two to respond to reporter comments and/or post reminders. Effective UR conversations are usually achieved with a single point of contact for the reporter, but other editors can step in if a UR with reporter comments begins to sit idle or if they think another editor needs help. Please be respectful to other editors and reporters while working URs; it is usually best to send a message to the editor rather than chatting with them through a UR. (Most reporters don't care about the chat, they just want it fixed and not be bothered with multiple responses). Typically, an editor should be given some time to respond to the reporter's comments (since real life has a way to occasionally get in the way to prevent editing time on some days).
*[http://www.roads.maryland.gov/Index.aspx?PageId=790 Grid Maps PDF]
*[http://www.roads.maryland.gov/pages/Townmaps.aspx?PageId=834 Town Maps PDF] In addition to the Census Designated Places that Maryland uses for the City Layer, there are 157 incorporated municipalities. See the [https://wiki.waze.com/wiki/Maryland#Cities_and_towns Cities and Towns] section for Incorporated Cities boundary files to use as WME Map overlays.
*[http://www.roads.maryland.gov/pages/hlr.aspx?PageId=832 Highway Location Reference PDF]


In {{RootPage2}} we have adopted at 0/4/4 system for response to Update Requests. 0/4/4 is the short way of explaining the following.
Tools to identify street addresses:
==== Standard URs ====
*[http://mdpgis.mdp.state.md.us/finderonlinejs/pi/index.html MD Finder]: From the Layers list select "Parcel Points." Type in the full address (Street, City) then add "Parcel Boundaries" and/ or "Six-Inch Imagery." Click on the green "parcel point" to view address information.
===== Day 0 =====
*[http://www.mdmerlin.net MD Dept of Planning (merlin)]. Under the Contents tab, check Parcel Boundaries and uncheck all other options. Navigate to a property and click it, then click [http://sdat.resiusa.org/RealProperty/Pages/default.aspx SDAT URL] in the popup for the Real Property page.
The first editor who is able to respond to UR should attempt to resolve the UR. If they are successful, they should comment as such in the UR and mark it closed. If more information from the reporter is required to make progress towards closure, a query should be sent to the reporter requesting the information needed for resolution


===== Day 4+ =====
=== Counties and cities ===
Polite reminders should be sent to a reporter who has never responded to a query, provided at least three full days have elapsed since the initial response was sent. (You can send reminder at 00:01 Eastern Standard (or Daylight when applicable) Time on the fourth day). 
Use these maps for the names of local roads and smaller streets not identified on the state maps. Some also provide house numbers.

==== Speed Limit URs ====
*[https://data.howardcountymd.gov/InteractiveMapV3.html Howard County GIS] <br/>
The first user able to respond to a Speed Limit ("SL") UR must evaluate the UR for its applicability to the nearest segment.
*[http://mcgov-gis.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=4aa66ff533e948d89493ea3bd1e01c99 Montgomery County GIS]
If the nearest segment to a SL UR has a Verified SL supported by recent Streetview ("SV") imagery (or other means) OR the speed limit cannot be added due to Waze USA policy (roundabouts, ramps, etc) it should be marked as "NOT IDENTIFIED" and a reply should be sent to the submitter explaining the reason for closing the UR. Examples:
*[http://www.pgatlas.com/#/Advanced Prince George's County GIS]
* "''This speed limit report is being closed because it was on a road segment with an already verified speed limit confirmed using recent street view imagery or other means. If you believe this speed limit is incorrect, please reply in the Waze Map Editor, or at [email].''"
*[http://gis.qac.org/Html5Viewer/Index.html?configBase=http://gis.qac.org/Geocortex/Essentials/REST/sites/QAC_Property_Viewer/viewers/test/virtualdirectory/Resources/Config/Default Queen Anne's County GIS]
* "''This speed limit report is being closed because it was on a road segment that does not have a legally enforceable speed limit. Only speed limits posted on black and white regulatory signs are added to the app. ''"
*[http://arcims.co.saint-marys.md.us/geobladesilverlight/default.aspx?config=AerialMap Saint Mary's County GIS]
<br />
*[http://washcogis2.washco-md.net/flexviewers3/ZoningCombo/ Washington County GIS]
If the SL UR occurs on a road segment with an unverified SL or a SL without recent SV imagery, request confirmation from the user on the SL sign and its location. Examples:
*[http://www.wicomicocounty.org/507/GISMap-Room Wicomico County] Map Room
* "''Can you please confirm your speed limit report on [road name]? We have a speed limit of [existing SL], did you see a different speed limit posted on a regulatory black and white sign?''"
* "''Can you please confirm your speed limit report on [road name]? We don't have any information on speed limits for this road.''"
<br />
'''SL URs should be revisited after only 1-2 days, and closed after only 3-4 days without a response. Use the closing comment to direct the user on proper SL reporting. Example:'''<br />
"''We have not been able to verify your speed limit report. Please only submit SL reports for roads with incorrect or missing speed limits. Android users can choose to see the SL at all times in the settings menu; iOS users must input the code ##@debugspeed.''"

Functional classification

Please review the USA Functional Classification page and the FC Quick Reference Chart for details on this topic. In rare cases, a particular road may require a different type than prescribed in the national guidance. Before changing the type of any road past the bounds of the rules, please post the situation to the Maryland Forum to receive feedback. Maryland resources can be found in the following links:

State-wide
SHA Highway Location Reference (PDF Reports by County)
MD SHA Functional Classification Map

Road names

Use these state-wide maps for the names and numbers of Interstate, US, and State highways. They also include the names of many local roads.

Tools to identify street addresses:

  • MD Finder: From the Layers list select "Parcel Points." Type in the full address (Street, City) then add "Parcel Boundaries" and/ or "Six-Inch Imagery." Click on the green "parcel point" to view address information.
  • MD Dept of Planning (merlin). Under the Contents tab, check Parcel Boundaries and uncheck all other options. Navigate to a property and click it, then click SDAT URL in the popup for the Real Property page.

Counties and cities

Use these maps for the names of local roads and smaller streets not identified on the state maps. Some also provide house numbers.
