== Choosing city names ==
If a road segment or landmark is within an incorporated place or CDP (census-designated place), use that name as the primary city name. There are several sources of this informationː
# Install the [https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/40837-wme-cities-overlay WME Cities Overlay] and be sure to check the box for Cities/Towns/CDP.
# Install the [https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/8129-wme-geometries WME Geometries script], then loading this [https://drive.google.com/open?id=1XG-Pq9P-FEABIp5RJRQ6lHkue7PODFDM tl_2017_54_place.geojson] overlay file.
# A map of the 2017 CDP cities can also be seen [https://drive.google.com/open?id=1WGtuS0S6CB89SfTnTMLmHOV4Czk&usp=sharing on this map].


When assigning the city name to a road segment or landmark, use the name of the incorporated place or CDP (census-designated place) from the listing below. If it is outside the boundaries of either of those, set the city name as None (with the checkbox). Do not use the names associated with ZIP codes or the name of a neighborhood, community, or subdivision not included below. If the road type is Freeway, set the city as None, regardless of the location, as this helps with routing. Be sure to also set the city name of any alternate names correctly. Please discuss any deviations from this guidance in the [https://www.waze.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=582 West Virginia Forum].
If a segment falls outside of the boundaries of an approved city/cdp please follow the [[Road names/USA/City names|USA guidelines]] for adding a city name in the alternate field.
# The [http://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/25631-wme-us-government-boundaries WME US Government Boundaries] script helps to find the appropriate USPS zip code city name.


(County names when hyperlinked are linked to the County GIS where available. City/Town names are hyperlinked to the WME Permalink.)
== Examples ==
Examples of City Name guidance for West Virginia (follows USA guidelines)ː
# The city name for the primary name is either the CDP name, incorporated city name, or None.
# If the segment falls within a City or CDP, then '''all''' alternate segment names should also include the same City/CDP.  The USPS Zip Code City may also be added as an alternate city name. Example:[[File:PrimaryCDP.JPG|center]]
# If the segment falls outside of a City or CDP, then the primary city name should be left blank and the "None" check box selected. The primary segment name should be duplicated in the alternates and '''all''' alternate names should use the USPS Zip Code City name. Do not check "None" for any of the alternate city names[[File:Friars_hill_2.PNG|center]]
# If the segment runs along the border between two Cities or CDPs, then the primary city name should be left blank and the "None" check box selected. The primary segment name should be duplicated in the alternates for both CIty/CDP names as well as the alternate segment names. Do not check "None" for any of the alternate city names.  This guidance should also be applied when the segment falls outside of a City/CDP but borders two USPS Zip Code City.  Example:'' ''[[File:PrimaryNone.JPG|center]]

Choosing city names

If a road segment or landmark is within an incorporated place or CDP (census-designated place), use that name as the primary city name. There are several sources of this informationː

  1. Install the WME Cities Overlay and be sure to check the box for Cities/Towns/CDP.
  2. Install the WME Geometries script, then loading this tl_2017_54_place.geojson overlay file.
  3. A map of the 2017 CDP cities can also be seen on this map.

If a segment falls outside of the boundaries of an approved city/cdp please follow the USA guidelines for adding a city name in the alternate field.

  1. The WME US Government Boundaries script helps to find the appropriate USPS zip code city name.

Examples

Examples of City Name guidance for West Virginia (follows USA guidelines)ː

  1. The city name for the primary name is either the CDP name, incorporated city name, or None.
  2. If the segment falls within a City or CDP, then all alternate segment names should also include the same City/CDP. The USPS Zip Code City may also be added as an alternate city name. Example:
  3. If the segment falls outside of a City or CDP, then the primary city name should be left blank and the "None" check box selected. The primary segment name should be duplicated in the alternates and all alternate names should use the USPS Zip Code City name. Do not check "None" for any of the alternate city names
  4. If the segment runs along the border between two Cities or CDPs, then the primary city name should be left blank and the "None" check box selected. The primary segment name should be duplicated in the alternates for both CIty/CDP names as well as the alternate segment names. Do not check "None" for any of the alternate city names. This guidance should also be applied when the segment falls outside of a City/CDP but borders two USPS Zip Code City. Example:

Freeways

If the road type is Freeway, set the city as None, regardless of the location. Be sure to also set the city name of any alternate names correctly. Please discuss any deviations from this guidance in the West Virginia Forum.
