Hi guys,
I would like to add some more subforums to this Greek forum.
I will need your translation to the following names:
- Unlock Requests
- Waze Map Editor
- Troubleshooting
- Map Editing Guidelines for Greece
Your help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Ori
Hi Unholy,
Not sure whether the subforums are required (we have extremely little traffic - unfortunately) but nevertheless here are the translations. In some cases they are not word for word but the meaning is the same.
Fellow Greek Wazers: feel free to comment or suggest alternatives.
- Unlock Requests - Ξεκλειδώματα δρόμων
- Waze Map Editor - Leave as is.
- Troubleshooting - Επίλυση Προβλημάτων
- Map Editing Guidelines for Greece - Βελτιστες Πρακτικές & Οδηγίες για Σχεδιασμό Ελληνικών Χαρτών
The last one actually says Best Practices and Guidelines which i believe is better that just Guidelines.
Let me know if you need anything further.
JK
Thank you very much Jimmy!!
And about the traffic in this forum:

Re: Toll roads option in the client

Hi,
Greece covered over 90% of toll roads. Please enable avoid tolls option for driving directions in Greece.
Many thanks!
I could definitely help here.
Before we enable this feature, we need to be certain that most of the toll roads are indeed marked. If we enable this feature, and Wazers will find themselves being directed through toll roads, Waze will be taken for as an unreliable app.
My question is: How can we make sure that most (90% and more) of the toll roads are indeed marked as such? Do you have any official governmental data?
Thanks,
Ori
Hi Unholy,
There are not that many toll roads in Greece, I believe it’s about 4-5 “highways” and 2-3 bridges/undersea passes. The total amount of toll stations should be approximately less than 50.
Actually, IMO, there is a bigger chance with routing a wazer from a road mistakenly marked as a toll road rather what you mention.
To avoid that, we have started going through roads and marking only the toll booth sections as toll roads to make sure we have accurate info regarding tolls (there’s a respective thread in the forum but I can’t locate it from Tapatalk).
So yes, we can guarantee that toll roads will be marked as such due to the small amount of them ( I’ll have to look and let you know if they are somewhere listed - Unfortunately the Greek Public sector hasn’t really embraced open-data yet but some data is available).
However, is there is a way we could get a mass (country level) report of all roads marked as toll roads, so as to also make sure no road is mistakenly checked as being a toll road?

Absolutely.
I will extract this information (all roads marked as toll roads) from our DB and share it with you.
It will take several days.
Thanks!
Ori
Well… I was able to create the form sooner than I thought.
Here you can find the list of all segments that are marked as toll roads.
Please review them and see if segments should be removed (by unmarking them in the WME), or adding (by marking them in WME).
Thanks!
Ori
Guys please help with this, i have done more that 30% up to now…

I’m working on the error list which i assume has higher priority.
Will get to the tolls afterwards.

Approx 2/3 complete (66,4%) ;->
There are quite a few in Egnatia (E90). Do we have anyone who can verify those?
90+% done!!
I cannot help any more, the rest are near Salonika (& some in Larisa) and in Egnatia so i leave those segments to the “Nothern” wazers who know the area better than me ;->
Hello!
The list with toll segments has been reviewed!
Many thanks to all of you!
Great teamwork everyone! Now on to the navigation issues.
@Unholy: Your move ;->

I sent a request to access the file in order to help marking.
I hope I can help somehow.
Hi Alex,
This “project” has been concluded, you can help here:Improving Navigation (and earning points).
I assume you are a new editor so in that case, please do check the Waze Map Editor before you start doing any changes.
If you have any questions, feel free to post them in WME - Waze Map Editor, και στα Ελληνικά ;->
Guys - You rock!
We’ll start working on enabling the feature right away.
Thank you for your help!
Ori
