Road shields

Road shields are linked to the street attribute of a segment, this is the full address <Street>+<City>+<County>+<Country>. Setting a shield on 1 segment will set it for all matching segments.

It is recommended that you install the [Road Shield Assistant] script to assist with see current road shields and affects of any changes you make.

Shields on segments

To match with the Road Type convention used in the UK, road shields should be mapped as follows;

Motorway - For use on Motorway with 1 or 2 digitals M1 M42
Motorway (wide) - For use on Motorway with 3+ digits M602 A38 (M)
Primary Route - For use on Major Highway A-Roads that form part of the Primary Route Network A14
Non-Primary Route - For use on all other Minor Highway A-Roads A4030
Junction No. - For use on junction ramps that have signed numbers 21 .

Changing the shield on a segment will change the shield on all segments with the same name, however far away they may be. Likewise, changing the name of a segment will change the shield if the name matches another.

Due to the implementation of this feature, extra care must be made when assigning road shields to segments with an identical street attribute when it changes Road Type, the most likely scenario will be A-roads that change from PRN to non-PRN. Mapped Road Types have no influence on the displayed shield.

At this time (May 2021) road shields do not show on the client app for mapped Primary Street road type but but may be added if needed for turn instructions.

Junction shields should not include the letter J.

Shields on turn instructions

Turn arrows now allow editors to set the visual instructions at a turn. Editors should do their best to match the road sign at the turn. The road shield (1st) and corresponding destination name (2nd) in the Visual instructions field, and any additional destination names in the Towards field.

Road numbers within brackets (A460) should not be included at all as they are not directly off the junction, nor should road numbers be written in the Towards field.

In order to receive the correct turn instructions with road shields on roundabouts make sure to add the turn guidance on the exit turn from the roundabout. The turn guidance from the exit will be copied to the entry one.

Editors should only be used when exits have a signed junction number.

+====Shields on segments====
+To match with the Road Type convention used in the UK, road shields should be mapped as follows;
-Places are points of interest and should only be mapped if they a useful destination. Places come in 2 forms:
+*<span style="border:1px; border-style:solid; border-color:#fff; background:#0079C1; color:#FFF;">'''&nbsp;Motorway&nbsp;'''</span> - For use on {{Freeway}} with 1 or 2 digitals <span style="border:1px; border-style:solid; border-color:#fff; background:#0079C1; color:#FFF;">'''&nbsp;M1&nbsp;'''</span> <span style="border:1px; border-style:solid; border-color:#fff; background:#0079C1; color:#FFF;">'''&nbsp;M42&nbsp;'''</span>
-*'''Point Places''' - These are not visible in the App but are searchable. Examples - convenience store,  takeaways, car wash, bank, coffee shop.
+*<span style="border:1px; border-style:solid; border-color:#fff; background:#0079C1; color:#FFF;">'''&nbsp;Motorway (wide)&nbsp;'''</span> - For use on {{Freeway}} with 3+ digits <span style="border:1px; border-style:solid; border-color:#fff; background:#0079C1; color:#FFF;">'''&nbsp;M602&nbsp;'''</span> <span style="border:1px; border-style:solid; border-color:#fff; background:#0079C1; color:#FFF;">'''&nbsp;A38 (M)&nbsp;'''</span>
-*'''Area Place''' - These are shown in the App and are searchable. Examples - supermarkets, retail parks, airports, golf course, parks, lakes. Overuse of Area Places can clutter the map and make identifying individual landmarks difficult.
+*<span style="border:1px; border-style:solid; border-color:#fff; background:#00701E; color:#FDD206;">'''&nbsp;Primary Route&nbsp;'''</span> - For use on {{Major Highway}} A-Roads that form part of the '''Primary Route Network''' <span style="border:1px; border-style:solid; border-color:#fff; background:#00701E; color:#FDD206;">'''&nbsp;A14&nbsp;'''</span>
+*<span style="border:1px; border-style:solid; border-color:#000; background:#fff; color:#000;">'''&nbsp;Non-Primary Route&nbsp;'''</span> - For use on all other {{Minor Highway}} A-Roads <span style="border:1px; border-style:solid; border-color:#000; background:#fff; color:#000;">'''&nbsp;A4030&nbsp;'''</span>
+*<span style="border:1px; border-style:solid; border-color:#ff; background:#000; color:#fff;">'''&nbsp;Junction No.&nbsp;'''</span> - For use on junction ramps that have signed numbers <span style="border:1px; border-style:solid; border-color:#ff; background:#000; color:#fff;">'''&nbsp;21&nbsp;'''</span>.
-==Point Places==
+<br />{{Mbox|type=critical|text=Changing the shield on a segment will change the shield on '''all''' segments with the same name, however far away they may be. Likewise, changing the name of a segment will change the shield if the name matches another.}}
-Point Places should be used for individual businesses that do not occupy an entire building, the building is less than 40m x 40m, or businesses that form part of a retail park that is already covered by a larger Area Place. Points should be positioned over the entrance for the business.
-{{mbox | type=important | text = Waze will navigate to the closest segment to the Point Place, if this is not the correct location to send users then an ''Entry/Exit Point'' should be added, ensuring that it is close enough to the appropriate street or PLR for correct navigation.}}
-==Area Places==
+Due to the implementation of this feature, extra care '''must''' be made when assigning road shields to segments with an ''identical street attribute'' when it changes Road Type, the ''most likely'' scenario will be A-roads that change from PRN to non-PRN. Mapped Road Types have no influence on the displayed shield.
-Area Places should be drawn '''as simply as possible''' as Waze will substantially simplify the shape before displaying it in the App. You will be wasting your time mapping every little corner and change of direction. Consider mapping with a basic rectangle.
-There are 3 form factors of Area Places:
+At this time (''May 2021'') road shields do '''not''' show on the client app for mapped Primary Street road type but but may be added if needed for turn instructions.
-*'''Individual buildings''' - larger businesses such as supermarkets, cinemas, and stadiums, should be mapped to the edge of the building lines only. Example -
-*'''Building clusters''' - locations that consist of multiple buildings such as hospitals, schools, retail parks, should be mapped to cover all of the buildings in a single area. Example -
-*'''Campus complexes''' - buildings that form a ''unified complex'' or campus with an overall identity such as universities, and zoos, should be mapped to encompass the entire property, usually the property lines.
-{{mbox | type=important | text = Waze will navigate to the closest segment to the centre of the Area Place polygon, if this is not the correct location to send users then an ''Entry/Exit Point'' should be added, ensuring that it is close enough to the appropriate street or PLR for correct navigation.}}
+Junction shields should '''not''' include the letter '''''J'''''.
-==Specific place mapping==
+====Shields on turn instructions====
-===Car Parks===
+[[File:UK-turn-instruction.png|right|frameless|alt=|450x450px]]Turn arrows now allow editors to set the '''visual instructions''' at a turn. Editors should do their best to '''match the road sign''' at the turn. The road shield (''1st'') and corresponding destination name (''2nd'') in the ''Visual instructions'' field, and any additional destination names in the ''Towards'' field.
-{{mbox | type=note | text = For a comprehensive guide to mapping car parks you should refer to the [[Car Parks|UK Car Parks]] page.}}
-[[File:Car-park-uk.png|thumbnail|right|Fosse Retail Park Car Park]]
-If there is a '''distinctly-marked area''' where cars can park, '''separated''' from the road and with it's own driveable segments, it should be mapped. If the car parking spaces are accessed '''directly''' from the road, this is on-street parking and should '''not''' be mapped, whether or not there are car park signs. On-street parking will be a future phase of the Parking Project.
-'''All mapped car parks must be areas''', editors can only create car parks as an Area polygon within the WME. Car parks should be mapped to the edge of the drivable tarmac. '''Parking Lot Road segments should be added''', but only the minimal amount required to allow navigation into and out of the car park. The category can '''only''' be set to ''Car Park''. All other attributes should be added if available. Car parks should locked to '''3'''.
+Road numbers within brackets <span style="border:1px; border-style:solid; border-color:#fff; background:#00701E; color:#FDD206;">'''&nbsp;(A460)&nbsp;'''</span> should '''not''' be included at all as they are not directly off the junction, nor should road numbers be written in the ''Towards'' field.

+In order to receive the correct turn instructions with road shields on roundabouts make sure to add the turn guidance on the '''exit turn''' from the roundabout. The turn guidance from the exit will be ''copied'' to the entry one.
-Lay-bys should not be marked with a Place, but should instead be mapped in accordance with the [[Roads#Lay-bys|UK Roads]] page.
+Editors should '''only''' be used when exits have a signed junction number.<br />
-===Shopping centres / retail parks===
+======<nowiki>===END OF SHIELDS===</nowiki>======
-[[File:Shopping-village-uk.png|thumbnail|right|Bicester Shopping Village]]
-Shopping centres & retail parks should be mapped as an '''Area Place''' that covers the outline of the building(s) & named according to the name of the centre or park. Each business within the shopping area can be mapped using a '''Point Place''' at the entrance to the individual shops. The name of the shopping centre / retail park should be used for the Point Place ''Street'' name.
-The category should be set to '''Shopping Centre'''. Minor locations within the shopping centre / retail park, such as Opticians, Pharmacy, ATM, should be added as categories rather than being mapped. All other attributes should be added if available. Completed places can be locked to '''2'''.

+==Toll Price Mapping - Working file==
-====Town high streets / city centres====
+====Road to consider====
-An exception to this rule would be a general town high street or city centre, although it may be a shopping area this should '''not''' be mapped as such. Instead only the individual businesses should be mapped as Place Points with their postal address used .

-[[File:Superstore-uk.png|thumbnail|right|Tesco store in Manchester]]
-Supermarkets should be mapped as a single '''Area Place''' covering the main building. The supermarket should be named as '''simply''' as possible, adding the town/city is ''unnecessary'', if there is more than one of that supermarket brand in the town/city then you should use a '''unique name''' to help differentiate within search results (you can often use the brand website store locator for inspiration). The category should be set to '''Supermarket/Grocery'''. All other attributes should be added if available. Completed places can be locked to '''2'''.
-If the Supermarket has a car park and/or petrol station these should be mapped '''separately'''.

-Petrol stations / filling stations should be mapped as an '''Area Place''' and cover the entire forecourt, this is so that it is as clear as possible in the App and because wazers can only update prices within 500m of a petrol station. The access into and out of the forecourt should be mapped with ''Parking Roads'', with care taken to set the appropriate directions & turn restrictions.
-The category should be set to '''Petrol Station''', any other facilities can be added as secondary categories, such as ATM, Car Wash, Shop. The petrol station should be named appropriately, '''not''' just ''Petrol Station'' or ''Shell''.  All other attributes should be added if available. Petrol stations should be locked to '''3'''.

-===Service areas===
+<br />
-{{mbox | type=notice | text = These guidelines are for motorway services and other large service areas on major roads that include several facilities and business.}}
-[[File:Services-uk.png|thumbnail|right|Woodall (N) services]]
-Services should be mapped as an '''Area Place''' to the boundaries of the facilities including the end of the ramps leading into and out of the services. If the services cover both sides of the carriageway separate Area Places should be mapped. Services should be named to reflect the names shown on the highway signage, If the services are split by a carriageway then cardinal directions should be included after the name, eg. ''Woodall Services (S)''. Do '''not''' include the brand name or road name.
-An ''entry/exit point'' should be added and positioned at the end of the exit ramp, this is to ensure Waze navigates off the main highway and ends voice instructions as the wazer arrives, they are then left to find their own way to the appropriate parking or facility.
-The category should be set to '''Services / Layby''', any other facilities can be added as secondary categories such as Fast Food, Restaurant, Coffee shop / Cafe, Shop. Do '''not''' include Petrol Station or Hotel. The main brand of the services should be entered in the first line of the '''description''' (''Moto, Welcome Break, etc''), and then list the other businesses on the second line, separated by commas. All other attributes should be added if available. The road name or junction number, eg. ''Mx (N)'' or ''Mx Jx'', should be used for the services '''Street''' name in the address.
-''Petrol Stations'' and ''Hotels'' should be mapped separately with their own '''Point Places''', positioned at the entrance to the building. There name should include the services name, eg. ''Shell - Woodall'' or ''Days Inn - Woodall''. The address should match that of the main services area.
-The segment that enters the service directly from the main highway should be named '''Services''', this provide the clear instruction ''exit onto Services''. Segments that rejoin the main highway should be left with ''no name''. If the services has a through road that does not provide direct parking then this should be set as a '''Street'''. All other segments within the services should be set as '''Parking Roads'''. Any limited access roads (with no public right of way), typically connecting the rear of the site to the local roads should be set as a '''Private Road'''.

-==Natural Features==
-Generally mapping natural features only serves to improve the visual appearance of the App. In some cases they can provide a useful reference along a journey when crossing major rivers or passing lakes or woodlands. When fully mapped with an '''Area Place''' these should be locked to '''3'''.
-*'''Parks, forests, lakes''' - these should be mapped using an '''Area Place''', named if they have one, and the appropriate category set.
-*'''Rivers, canals''' - these should be mapped using an '''Area Place''', named, and the appropriate category set.
-{{mbox | type=notice | text = You may wish to use the ''[https://www.waze.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=819&t=87931 Street to River Plus]'' script to help create rivers and canals.}}
-*'''Seas / shorelines''' - these should '''not'' be mapped as they are provided by an external source.
-*'''Farms''' - these should '''not''' be mapped as Area Places. If they provide public services, such as a farm shop or camping, then they can be mapped as '''Point Places'''.
-==Residential Place Points==
-When reviewing a '''Place Point Update''' for a residential dwelling it should only be accepted if it contains a '''house number''', this should be verified using Google Street View or a local authority map. Adjust the position to the '''correct location'''. You should review any photo(s) and delete any that do not '''clearly''' show the residence.
-If the residential place has been submitted as anything other than a ''Residential Place Point'' it should be converted to one using the link in the left-hand panel.
-==Locking==
-* Natural features (parks, forests, should be locked at 3
-* Proper car parks and gas stations should be locked at 3
-* Any places which have been edited with correct name, category and address, lock at 2.
-:This forces any updates from low rank users to appear as requests
-='''Categories'''=
-* When editing places, ensure you have selected the EN GB language in the editor
-* Do '''NOT''' use category groups for the category of a place!
-:E.g. Car Services, Professional and Public, Shopping and Services, etc
-* Many Hotels are incorrectly categorised as Hostels
-==Missing==
-* Community Centre 	→ use Conventions / Event Centre
-* Village Hall 	→ use Conventions / Event Centre
-* Garden Centre / Nursery 	→ use Flowers / Gardening
-* Dentist	→ Doctor / Clinic
-* Newsagents	→ use Shop
