Road attributes – General

Almost 50 road attributes can be used to describe various types of roads in Map Creator (e.g. speed limit, lanes, etc.). To simplify editing attributes on roads, there are several “Road types” (e.g. highway) which have a default set of attributes to prevent invalid combinations (e.g. pedestrians allowed on a highway). The table below provides an overview of valid and invalid attribute combinations.

Road attributes menu

After drawing a new road or selecting an existing road, the “Road attributes” menu opens on the left and displays all editable road attributes. Click on each title to expand the section and see the attribute choices. Attribute information is critical for correct display and routing purposes and should be edited according to reality.
