# - DESCRIPTION ------------------------
doc: >
Class that defines the lane marking types accepted by OpenDRIVE 1.4. The snipet in carla.Map.get_waypoint shows how a waypoint can be used to retrieve the information about adjacent lane markings.
__Note on double types:__ Lane markings are defined under the OpenDRIVE standard that determines whereas a line will be considered "BrokenSolid" or "SolidBroken". For each road there is a center lane marking, defined from left to right regarding the lane's directions. The rest of the lane markings are defined in order from the center lane to the closest outside of the road.

# - DESCRIPTION ------------------------
doc: >
Class containing the road information and waypoint managing. Data is retrieved from an OpenDRIVE file that describes the road. A query system is defined which works hand in hand with carla.Waypoint to translate geometrical information from the .xodr to natural world points. CARLA is currently working with [OpenDRIVE 1.4 standard](http://www.opendrive.org/docs/OpenDRIVEFormatSpecRev1.4H.pdf).
# - PROPERTIES -------------------------

The first one is the origin and the second one represents another road end that can be reached. This graph can be loaded into [NetworkX](https://networkx.github.io/) to work with. Output could look like this: [(w0, w1), (w0, w2), (w1, w3), (w2, w3), (w0, w4)].

Waypoints in CARLA are described as 3D directed points. They have a carla.Transform which locates the waypoint in a road and orientates it according to the lane. They also store the road information belonging to said point regarding its lane and lane markings.
All the information regarding waypoints and the [waypoint API](../../core_map/#navigation-in-carla) is retrieved as provided by the OpenDRIVE file. Once the client asks for the map object to the server, no longer communication will be needed.
# - PROPERTIES -------------------------

- class_name: Landmark
# - DESCRIPTION ------------------------
doc: >
Class that defines any type of traffic landmark or sign affecting a road. These class mediates between the [OpenDRIVE 1.4 standard](http://www.opendrive.org/docs/OpenDRIVEFormatSpecRev1.4H.pdf) definition of the landmarks and their representation in the simulation.
This class retrieves all the information defining a landmark in OpenDRIVE and facilitates information about which lanes does it affect and when.
