Revision as of 15:40, 18 February 2024
Permanent Hazards (PH) are a new Waze feature (as of Feb 2024) that allows Waze to give warnings of up coming Hazards on the map that are always there, unlike temporary hazards like floods, roadkill and potholes.
The following PHs can be mapped:
- Speed Bumps
- Toll Booths
- Pedestrian Crossings (not yet implemented by Waze)
The UK Champs have decided that the following PHs are not to be mapped in the UK as they do not suit the UK road network and are too subjective to map:
- Complex intersection (junction)
- Multiple lanes merging
- Sharp curves (bends)
To map Permanent Hazards, the Hazard Layer must be enabled. The PH types can be found under the Hazard menu.
After selecting a PH from the menu, moving the cursor around the map will show the segment the PH will snap to. Click the left mouse button to set the PH's position. PHs are bi-directional. If the PHs is placed onto a one-way road the PH will only work in the direction the segment is running. If placed onto a two-way road the PH's direction can be changed (A->B/B->A).
The current Editor Rank to add or change a PH is L4, but this will also depend on the level the road segment the PH is being added to or changed on. If a segment is deleted, any PHs that are attached to the segment will also be deleted.
Speed Bumps
Speed Bumps are to be mapped for all speed bumps, expect those classed as Speed Cushions/Pillows, as most vehicles are able to drive over these at the speed limit without issue.
Toll Booths
As there are not many Toll Roads around the UK, there are not many Toll Booths. These are all mapped already so unless there is a change, there should be no need for additional or changes to this PH type. Please contact the UK champs if there are changes required.
Toll Roads that are free flow, with no Toll Booths (for example the Dartford Crossing and Mersey bridges) must not be mapped with Toll Booths. Also, Car Park Booths or barriers must not be mapped as Toll Booths.
Pedestrian Crossing
To be advised once implemented by Waze.
Alerts on the Client
PH alerts will be displayed on the client 500 metres before the hazard has been mapped, as a takeover with sound.
Multiple pins capping: When multiple PH of the same type occur in close proximity (less than 500 from each other) the app will group them together as follows:
- Show one alerter letting the driver know that there are multiple occurrences of such type ahead
- Show only one pin on map in the app for the first occurrence of this PH (grouping is done by PH type and never for different types together)
