The roads that were truncated at the circle's edge do still appear inside the circle in their normal colors between creation and saving ... but that's the only thing that might appear somewhat normal prior to the save.

Oh, I didn't realize that since every roundabout that I've ever created only contained the roads that are to be a part of the roundabout.
Likewise ... I only found out about that deleted roads part by trying an extreme test and nuking an entire freeway cloverleaf intersection (without saving, of course

).

Something similar happened in the UK last week.

No, Waze won't let the editor save their edits if they've changed a segment that is locked or out of their editable area.

Yeah this happened to me in Ramsgate, not sure if it was deliberate or not, but it's bloody stupid either way! Name and shame them publicly

Yeah I noticed a few twats messing Kent up! Seriously annoying.
I've seen your name on a few roads, I trust you've read and are following the wiki?
Oops, on reading that back it sounds like I'm aiming that at you. I'm not.

Either way, these people should be reading the wiki. There is no excuse for bad editing now. All it takes is an hour or so reading through it. If there are any questions, then a reread of the Editing Conventions would give the answers. Unfortunately, we know that isn't the case. Shame really, as many of these problems could be resolved easily if people just read and used a bit of common sense.

Clicking roundabout, fair enough, but dragging it out and then clicking Save is pretty bloody stupid.

An even quicker way to kill off the map. Could be a malicious attack by a company. Who knows? More than likely to just be pure stupidity.
I still think that new Area Managers should be vetted by local Megawazers. This should not be happening with normal editors with the new level system though. I was under the impression that if roads are well driven that new editors couldn't do anything to them.

Yeah I've done that on my local area since I wasn't sure about the new level system, just as well! Only the motorways though, don't want to put new editors off completely
