In the app, this affects both the spoken instruction and the arrow that is displayed on screen before lanes appear. The voice prompt component allows you to decide whether to override the "Waze default" voice prompt. In the app, the "exit sign" is displayed in the top right corner of the turn instruction panel. The exit signs component is used to insert an exit number in a dedicated, fixed place. In the app, the "toward" component is displayed in non-bold text as the second line of the instruction, below the "visual instructions" component. The toward component is primarily intended for things like control cities and other destinations, but it may also be used for additional road names and shields where doing so would allow better matching of a sign layout. In the app, the "visual instructions" component is displayed as the primary element of the turn instruction, on the first line (below the distance to turn) and with bold text. The visual instructions component contains the "meat" of the instruction, including most shields. Do not use online small caps text generators!!

The word "to" should be included in visual fields if and only if it is actually present on signage. Visually, the elements of the turn instruction should match the visual order of elements on the sign as closely as practicable.Ĭompass directions should be spelled out using large-and-small-caps (Nᴏʀᴛʜ, Sᴏᴜᴛʜ, Eᴀꜱᴛ, Wᴇꜱᴛ) when they are used to represent a direction of travel, and should always be placed in the provided Direction field when they are used in conjunction with a shield (even if placed above or to the left of the shield on the actual sign). Turn instructions should match signage as closely as practicable within the limitations of the Waze interface, while still being sensible.
These components include shields, control cities and other destinations, exit numbers, and more. Now, editors can customize turn instructions to add additional elements to a turn instruction to enhance Wazers' experience on the road. If there is a shield associated with the primary street name on the outbound segment and that street name is simple and contains the same number as the shield (such as “US-90 E” with a US Hwy shield containing “90” and direction “East”), the shield will be shown in the turn instruction in place of the street name. Editors must take special care to ensure that turn instructions give Wazers clear and useful directions.Ī turn instruction can include a distance or time measurement, lanes, a voice prompt, and a road name component.īy default, a turn instruction will use the primary street name of the outbound segment for both display and TTS. Turn instructions tell a user where and when to turn, keep, exit, continue, or make a U turn.
