What would you do if there is a green sign for a jack handle connected to a street?
How would you treat a jug handle that connects to a short segment of street but it's really supposed to lead you to an intersecting highway after that street. with or without a sign?

Are you able to find some examples in the form of screenshots or links?

Working on these right now.

I see. I know I'm bound to run into one sooner or later.

What I'm doing is looking for any jug handles as I pan very fast. I then see if they have match what was mentioned before as examples. However, if we are going to look at all the possibilities, then I'll start looking at all jug handles for different configurations.

2 - If ramp type is used the road name should NEVER be blank.
Unless that ramp section connects to multiple exits. This would be one of the only cases that a ramp segment would be left nameless.

example: A ramp leads to another highway, and two different streets (Multiple BGSs)

Good idea. I included it as a sub-bullet point under
>Inspect and correct connectivity of necessary junctions.

Is that what you had in mind?

Seconded. The boilerplate is lengthy with pictures and can be confusing as it is almost completely irrelevant to our State. However, I do think that all editors should be aware of the various types of cameras, in the event that they are editing in another state. Adding the template to the bottom of the section, as opposed to the top may be better.

As it happens the original text (first draft) I had inputted into that section read simply:
Based on information researched at the time this page was created, speed cameras are illegal statewide in New Jersey, and red light cameras are legal statewide in New Jersey.
No other camera types should be mapped in Waze.
Guidance
A list of intersections with installations of red light cameras is available from NJDOT.
NOTE: BRICK TWP HAS MADE ALL RED LIGHT CAMERAS ILLEGAL.
While traffic monitoring devices are employed in the state, no cameras are used for enforcement or issuing citations according to the NJ State Police.
I would change around some of the wording but I prefer the above entry to the present one as it emphasizes the specificity of the state.

Thoughts?
