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.

-As with all mapping in Waze, all types of junctions should be drawn as '''simply as possible''' to give clear instructions. At this time, ''November 2017'', Waze does not give lane guidance and adding additional segments at junctions can lead to complex & confusing instructions and the possibility of introducing errors. For a comprehensive guide on editing junctions in general please read the [[global:Junction Style Guide|Global Junction Style Guide]].
+====Shields on segments====
+To match with the Road Type convention used in the UK, road shields should be mapped as follows;

+*<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>
-T-junctions, cross roads, and the majority of junctions are usually best mapped as '''single 2-way segments''' that are connected with a '''single node'''. Complex junctions that include restrictions, large (distinct) turn lanes ''may'' benefit from a more complicated layout.

-The original UK map import , know as the ''UK basemap'', had a lot of junctions mapped as split 1-way roads due to little more than some painted chevrons in the middle of the road. This is completely unnecessary, and any remaining should be simplified where possible.

-==Roundabouts==
-Roundabouts are no exception, most can be mapped with '''single 2-way segments''' for each connecting road. Much of the UK basemap had pairs of 1-way entry and exit segments which are not necessary. If you are rebuilding a roundabout take the opportunity to remove these segments. They will look much better on the client and can lead to [[global:Roundabouts/USA#Understanding_navigation_instructions|''normal'' roundabout instructions]].
-===Steps for redrawing a roundabout===
+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.

-|}
-Small and mini-roundabouts should be drawn as large as possible. Roundabouts drawn with a radius less than 10m will not be easily visible on the App, so aim to get them close to this size if you can, this may mean drawing it larger than the road itself.
+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.
-{{mbox | type=notice | text = You can read more in depth on Roundabout in the [[global:Roundabouts/USA|Global Wiki pages]].}}
+Junction shields should '''not''' include the letter '''''J'''''.
-===New roundabouts===
-After drawing a new roundabout, it is important to '''change the road type''' to [[global:Roundabouts/USA#Road_type|the most appropriate ''Road Type'']] (except Freeway), and '''set the address'''. To aid navigation instructions, roundabouts should '''not''' be given a  ''Street name''. If the roundabout does have a proper, signposted name, then for this can be mapped using an '''Area Place''', with the category ''Junction/Intersection'', that fills the centre of the roundabout.
-===Common issues with roundabouts===
+====Shields on turn instructions====
-* If a roundabout does '''not''' have &mdash; &mdash; &mdash; dashed line through the center of its segments, then it is '''not''' a proper roundabout but a group of 1-way segments. The client will give ''keep left'' and ''keep right'' instructions instead of ''take the nth exit''. These junctions '''should''' to be deleted and redrawn. '''Note:''' If a single segment of a roundabout is selected the info panel will include a button to ''Select entire'' which will select all segments of that roundabout.
+[[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.
-* If two entry and exit segments share the same junction node on the roundabout, the exit will not be counted when entering at that junction, instructions will then give the '''wrong''' exit count. Entry and exit segments should '''always''' be connected via separate junctions.
-* Sometimes the client will say "Take the 0th exit" for a roundabout. This is often caused by an ''invisible'' node on or within the junction, and can only be repaired by deleting and rebuilding the entire roundabout.
-* Roundabouts with a diameter of '''10m or less''' won't be used for u-turns in a waze route (''this is a country specific configuration'').
-===Special Roundabouts===
+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.
-Sometimes a roundabout will get modified to change its shape and function, such that it is no longer a simple a roundabout.
-[[Image:Hamburger.png|right|250px]]
+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.
-One such example is the ''Hamburger Roundabout'', where the main carriageway goes straight through the middle of the junction. This should be drawn as if the main road was an over pass, with short ramps connecting it to the roundabout. The example here is near [https://www.waze.com/editor?env=row&lon=-1.63427&lat=53.74976&zoom=5 M62 Junction 27] (Leeds).
+Editors should '''only''' be used when exits have a signed junction number.<br />
-Some roundabouts get modified so much that they can no longer be considered roundabouts at all. This can be seen at [https://www.waze.com/editor/?env=row&lon=-1.39572&lat=53.70845&zoom=5 M62 Junction 31] (Castleford)

-==Triangular Junctions==
+==Toll Price Mapping - Working file==
-[[File:Triangle-junction.png | right | thumb | text-top | Turn restrictions at a triangle junction]]
-We have quite a lot of ''triangle junctions'' in the UK. Some of them are so small they have nothing more than a few square metres of grass in the middle and can '''usually''' be simplified into T-junctions.
-If they're left as triangles, they can be problematic. For any route through the junction, there are 2 possibilities: the "sensible" route following one side of the triangle; and the "silly" route following 2 sides. Because the triangles generally aren't very big, GPS accuracy isn't good enough to distinguish which route a driver actually takes. So if Waze decides a silly route is faster, then for most drivers who ignore it and take the sensible route, Waze will still think they've gone the long way round and reinforce that route.

-If a triangle is large enough to be mapped (e.g. has a large amount of grass or a tree on it), then restrict all internal turns to force Waze to use the sensible route through these junctions.
