=== {{Anchor|FC cross reference}}Functional Classification reference chart ===
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Use this chart to determine the road type for Pennsylvania roads based on the functional class.
-- Editors: To add yourself to this Area Manager table, copy and paste the following


First, find the functional class of the road from the [http://www.penndot.gov/ProjectAndPrograms/Planning/TrafficInformation/Pages/County-Functional-Class-Maps.aspx#.VwlWGJMrJE4 PennDOT Functional Classification county maps] and determine if it is a signed, numbered highway in a one of the highway systems.
-- template into the space below with the other {{AM/Editor|...}} templates. Add
 
-- yourself into rank order (higher at top)then alphabetical order by user name (A-Z)
Follow the column for the road's highway system down to the row for the road's functional class to find the proper road type for that particular road.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The PennDOT color coding is cross-referenced in the first column of the table for your convenience.
-- then in the Summary field enter "Added YOUR_USER_NAME" and press "Save page"

{{note|a|a}}Since Pennsylvania combines these two classes, use the criteria from the [[Road_types/USA#Freeway|USA Freeway page]] to determine if the road should typed as a freeway or major highway.
 
{{note|b|b}} Some 4-digit State Routes are numbered for legacy or maintenance reasons, but they do not serve as primary thoroughfares for the area and should be classified as {{Street|Street}}.
 
</div>
 
===Naming===
 
==== State routes with 2 or 3 digit route numbers ====
[[File:PA_SR_Shield.png|thumb]]
In Pennsylvania all State Routes should have any common name as displayed on street signs as the primary name in WME, and the route number in the alternate name field. The city name should be the same for both the common name and route number. ''SR-111'' is the current acceptable format. The use of '''State Hwy''' or '''PA-xxx''' and other variations '''{{Red|should not}}''' be used unless it is on the road signs that drivers would see.
 
State Route naming should follow the following format:
 
*SR-28 S (divided one-way segments).
*SR-309 (undivided two-way segments).
 
'''{{Red|Note}}''': Some state routes have mixed signage, with route numbers at major intersections and road names at minor intersections. Until Waze gets state shields working completely, the best practice is to name the segments according the the signage that the motorist will see as he approaches the state route, with priority given to the major intersections.
 
==== State routes with 4 digit route numbers ====
 
State Routes with 4 digits (e.g. SR-3001) should not have the route number in the alternate field. SR-xxxx should be removed from the alt field, if you find it.
 
==== County or township roads ====
 
County (Co) and Township (T) roads need no special designation or road type. Road number info is not needed in the alternate name field.
 
==== Ramps ====
 
When naming a [[Road types/USA#Ramps|Ramp]] to a State Route, use the '''SR-111''' format. ''PA-111'' format '''{{Red|should not}}''' be used unless it matches exactly what is on the big green sign directing you to the ramp. It is best to reference Google Street View in WME, where available.
 
Adhere to national standards for [[Road names/USA#Exit ramps and Entrance ramps (on-ramps)|Exit ramps and Entrance ramps (on-ramps)]]. Ramp names should use these formats:
 
Off-ramps:
 
*Numbered exit: (Exit 16: SR-15 / Scranton)
*Numbered exit with multiple Cities or Routes: (Exit 16: SR-15 N / SR-86 E / Wilkes / Scranton)
*Numbered exit with multiple exits: (Exit 16A-B: SR-15 N / SR-86 E / Scranton)
*Non-numbered exit: (to SR-15 / Scranton)
 
====Abbreviating Pennsylvania====
When naming roads or Ramps, use '''Penna.''' as the abbreviation for Pennsylvania. '''Penn''' causes text-to-speech conflicts with the numerous items named after William Penn. '''PA''' should not be used except as shown below.
 
'''Penna. Tpk''' is the proper abbreviation for naming ramps, and for alternate names for the Turnpike.
 
==== Shortened state route names ====
 
The format '''SR-xxx''' (State Route) should be used when naming ramps (e.g., to SR-28 S / Pittsburgh). See also: [[#Ramps|Ramps]]. To maintain uniformity across the state, the PA-xxx format '''{{Red|should not}}''' be used unless it is on the road signs that drivers would see.

{{Lock Standard State|PA}}


=== Speed Limits ===
Pennsylvania follows the [[Speed_limits/USA|national guideline]] for speed limits, with a few exceptions listed below.
====Pennsylvania guidelines====
* When a speed limit changes at an intersection, the sign for the new speed zone can be found up to 200 feet after the intersection.<ref name="Title_67">[http://www.pacode.com/secure/data/067/chapter212/s212.108.html PA Title 67] PA Title 67, 212.108 (e) ''If the new speed limit begins at an intersection, the first sign should be installed within 200 feet beyond the intersection.''</ref> If the speed limit changes more than 200' from the intersection, add a junction at the sign and make the speed limit change there.
* Long term work zone speed limits may be mapped instead of the "ordinary time" speed limits.


* Speed limit signs are supposed to be posted on every street, no further than 1/2 mile apart.<ref name="Title_75">[http://www.legis.state.pa.us/cfdocs/legis/LI/consCheck.cfm?txtType=HTM&ttl=75&div=0&chpt=33&sctn=62&subsctn=0 PA Title 75] The Pennsylvania Vehicle Code (Title 75), §3362 indicates that speed limit signing must be in accordance with Department regulations to include “…posting at the beginning and end of each speed zone and at intervals not greater than one-half mile”. In addition, the installation of speed limit signing will function as a constant reminder of the roadway’s speed limit. "</ref>. If you can verify that there are no posted signs, follow the PA guidelines:<ref name="Title_75_unposted">[http://www.legis.state.pa.us/cfdocs/legis/LI/consCheck.cfm?txtType=HTM&ttl=75&div=0&chpt=33&sctn=62&subsctn=0 PA Title 75]75.3362</ref>
**35 miles per hour in any urban district.
**25 miles per hour in a residence district (unless it is a numbered route classified as a local highway)
**55 miles per hour in other locations.


====Summary of National Guidelines====
<div style="float:right;">[[File:Speed_Limit_70.png|50px|thumb|Right|<span style="color:green;">Regulatory<br/>Yes</span>]]<br/>[[File:No Advisory Speed Plaque.png|50px|thumb|{{red|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.'''
