We are looking for Area Manager Pakistanis wishing to contribute actively to the creation of new roads for the city of Islamabad. Thanks

Streets in Islamabad sectors (equivalent of towns) are numbered and so same number street is there in more than one sectors. We need to set a naming convention so that searching an address returns street from correct sector.
Something like explained here for UK.
[http://world.waze.com/wiki/index.php/How\_to\_label\_cities\_(United\_Kingdom)](http://world.waze.com/wiki/index.php/How_to_label_cities_%28United_Kingdom%29)
Following same convention, we should be putting sector name in the city field. For example:
City: F10 (Islamabad)
Street: Street 44
City: G8 (Islamabad)
Street: Street 44
What do you think? :ugeek:

Hi Mazhar
congratulations, good point, must enter the district before the street name and not the name of the city, because the geographical districts are the districts of the same city
For example:
(city) Islamabad
(street) I-9, Street 6
Help me to find the boundary line between the cities of Islamabad and Rawalpindi to because they are practically very close almost attacked.
Regards Rocco

Ok. In that case, I would suggest the following convention:
(street) I9:Street 6
or
(street) I9-Street 6
The : and - add some pause in TTS speech on client so it will read out the street name clearly.
For the boundary of Rawalpindi & Islamabad, I will look for something better to share with you. For now, see below link to get an idea.

The TTS work correctly without : or -
Therefore, it is sufficient to give the district separated by a space with the street name.
For example:
I9 Street 6
This excellent graphical representation of the metropolitan areas of Islamabad and Rawalpindi.
Thank you my friend, your help has been of great help to me.

A great help to identify the districts of the city of Islamabad is this map which I am attaching below:
It is upside down compared to our map edit

Yes it has margalla hills on the bottom. Its a good one. Islamabad has neatly organized districts (called sectors) because it is a planned city. Very easy to find your way around there.

Dear Rocco
Please help correct direction of I.J.P. Principal Road in attached view. You need to correct upper segment direction from TWO WAY to ONE WAY. The leftover segments are outside my editable region.

Hi Rocco
Please complete connecting roads in this area as it is outside my editable range. I was making Nazim-ud-din a double road.

Hi Mazhar,
I made the connections that I have said.
I noticed that you like a lot of the intersections of this type:
As you can see the Primary Street converge at a point rather than being straight.
For a better navigation and for a simplicity of geometry would recommend you to draw them in this way:

Hi Roccco
Yes you guessed correctly. I like the “bow-tie” construct. Noted your recommendation for future though. Thanks for the advise.

Following segments locked by Level 4. Please unlock and change road type to “Minor Highway”. Faisal Avenue is not a toll road hence should not be classified as Major Highway or Freeway.

In the link below, the “Ramps” classified as “Major Highway” need to be corrected in addition to above correction (faisal avenue).
