“These lane closures are there to protect motorists, and MDOT urges drivers to treat these areas as active work zones.”Ĭhristmas and New Year’s are among the busiest travel days.
“Even though no highway construction work will be occurring across the state, motorists should be aware that some lane closures will remain in place,” said Melinda McGrath, P.E., MDOT Executive Director. The closures will provide maximum travel capacity and minimal construction delays for holiday travelers. Work will be suspended on December 24, 25 and December 31 and January.

There are some counties that name or number private drives off of county/state maintained roads. If they are there from the base map, they may be left in place. Private roads serving multiple residences should be mapped, but is not a high priority over other editing tasks. Driveways left over from the original base map import that do not meet that criteria should be deleted. Roads across farm fields, tree farms, dirt roads across private property also should not be mapped.ĭO NOT map driveways to single residences UNLESS there is a potential for a routing issue, ie., a user may be routed onto an adjacent street or is a very long drive that may make it difficult for Waze to determine a start point navigating from that address. This includes roads that are classified by the MDOT as Urban or Rural Collectors. This is to maintain proper function of the "Avoid Dirt Roads" feature in the Waze app. Roads in Mississippi that are dirt or gravel should be classified as such in the editor. Lock segments higher than what is listed in the table (at least your editing rank) to prevent tampering with unusual turn restrictions, one-way segments, road geometry, etc. Lock the roads based on type after they've been set to current US road type standards. Roads may be locked higher for protection and special situations (areas with construction, tricky design, frequent mistakes, imaging inaccuracies, and the like), but should not be locked lower.Ī great time to implement these locks is while bringing the road types of an area into compliance with the current US road type standards (FC and highway systems). Any road of a certain segment type should be locked at least to the rank (level) in the chart below.
Mississippi provides the following guidance for locking roads based on segment type. Mississippi Road Segment Locking Guidance It has little effect on routing but helps improve the appearance of the map. Likewise, MS-16 would be a Major Highway about a mile short of Sharon Rd. MS-43 would normally be classified as a Major Highway to the Canton city limit, which is one segment beyond Finney Rd. When transitioning from urban to rural classification, try to make the transition at an intersection of another road classified as a primary street or greater, in lieu of a city limit. IE., if it is classified as a Collector = Primary Street, Principal Arterial = Major Highway, etc. They often are not signed and are local roads that receive state maintenance. MS-7xx, 8xx, 9xx roads should be classified as depicted on the functional classification maps. Since several Mississippi counties number their roads vs giving them a name, and does not imply a special route class, any CR-xxx road should be classified per the MDOT FC maps. US Functional Classification guidance states that county roads (CR-xxx) with a shield should be classified as Primary Street. Functional Classification of Roads in Mississippi MDOT Classification
