Mapping
This section brings together the editing rules specific to Switzerland. They complement the general Waze rules and take precedence over the guides of neighbouring countries.
Important
Mapping rules vary by country. In Switzerland, local rules always apply: never transpose a French, German or Italian rule without verification.
Why Swiss rules?
Switzerland is multilingual, uses its own road classification (A, N1–N30, H1–…) and has unique legal specificities (motorway vignette, ban on speed camera alerts).
