Excessive junctions

[noralf]

Really I don't understand the big problem. You must go in the map editor anyway to add the Country, City, Road Type, Road Name, etc. Just remove the extra junctions when you are there editing the other details.

I know.. My problem is that there are roads stretching for 20 - 30 km's, and the app is dropping about 3 junctions pr. km. In reality there should be just 10 - 15 junctions along those stretches..
Anyway the problem disappears gradually all the time I am taking the work to remove unneeded junctions manually and there are fewer and fewer new roads to pave.

[noralf]

Although I suppose that the paving function should not add any junctions at all. I suppose that would make you happy?

That would work for me! Better still if the function was selectable.

Use Papyrus and deleting lots of junctions is much faster once they are in place.

I have not tried Papyrus that much yet, so I have not familiarized me enough with it.

Both Cartouche and Papyrus have a method to select a range of a single street (one name). Works better in Cartouche right now as Papyrus does not actually let you change anything once you select with this method. You can multi-select manually and name them all at once.

I have tried multi-selecting (Ctrl/Click) and that works well in Cartouche. But I have never been able to select the roads at each end of a stretch and use the "Select all roads between" function. That would be a timesaver.

The perimeter-defined idea has been kicked around a lot, and because it has the potential to be misused by altering a massive amount of objects at once, it is not going to be implemented.

I can see that point. It's better to make it more difficult to do such big changes.

Well..
The new Papyrus editor is bugging me now...
I have found out how to edit the roads, and have found many improvements.
But I have not found a way to remove unneeded junctions.... Suggestions anyone?

Depends on the editing rights you have in that area. If you have the rights then click on the junction, click on the recycle bin up top, click on the save icon.

I have full AM rights in the area. But the recycle bin is gray when I select the junction by clicking on it. I have removed several erroneous GPS tracks using this method.

Do the separated segments have the same details? Name, city, direction etc.

[noralf]

There you spotted it! Thank you!
This is my own doing, because I don't know any other way to add city names to roads passing through several communities without splitting them with junctions. This "problem" only shows in very rural areas with only one road passing by, so I will just use this method for now.

It's really the only method you have, so don't fret over those junctions. They serve a purpose, so they're not excessive at all.

It's not any different in that both segments must have matching attributes, but you can also bridge instead of deleting the junction. It is more work to select two segments, bridge, then set the level back, but that used to be the only way to do it in the early days of Papyrus.
