Can't cut certain segments that have a junction node inside a Junction Box

There are certain segments that have a junction node inside a JB that I’ve noticed I don’t have “permission” to cut, even though an R5 editor should have this ability. I’ve recently also noticed it only applies to certain segments within that JB. The example JB that I’ve been able to find this on is found here:

The segment that I AM ABLE to cut is this one: https://www.waze.com/en-US/editor?env=usa&lat=33.44701&lon=-112.03641&zoomLevel=19&segments=532593848
The segment that WME gives me a permission error when I try to cut is this one: https://beta.waze.com/en-US/editor?env=usa&lat=33.44744&lon=-112.03619&zoomLevel=19&segments=532592353

Until I noticed this behavior this morning, I thought I just couldn’t cut any segments that had nodes inside a JB at all. Only this morning did I learn that I can cut some segments, but not other ones.

Screen grab of the error from a different JB is attached.

Behavior occurs in both beta and regular WME, scriptless and with scripts. Google Chrome browser.

Hi Ryan,

Thank you for the report. We will check this issue internally.

Updated: Rayan, may I ask you to record the video with this error? I wonder and want to understand how do you split the segment that the center of the intersection is highlighted on your side?

I mean this:

See screen recording below:

Unable to cut JB segments

Thanks Ryan, we will review it with the team.

Edited: Ryan, I have checked the video and links. Could you please send the link to the junction box where you can’t split the segment? When I open attached links, I see the different one then in the video.

Nataliia

I will get the link when I can (mobile right now). However, this problem is not limited to one junction box. It’s EVERY junction box. Because of this, I don’t think it’s relevant to focus on this one junction box in the screen grab/video.

Sure Ryan, thanks in advance. I managed to recreate the problem on another junction box as well. Just it would be great to have the same link as in the video to avoid inconsistency. The team will want to check properties of the segment from the video or have other questions.

Thank you,
Nataliia

Nataliia -

The PL to the JB in the video and screen grabs is here:

I would also like to note that Ryan cannot merge segments either. We left this junction in place where he was unable to merge the segments.

This and this are examples of segments I was able to merge at his request because he could not.

Hi Mike,

Sorry for the delay with reply. I have forwarded your example to the team, they are investigating the behaviour.

I would agree. SunDevil2213 posted in your thread here.

Hi Domingues3D,

Yes it seems to be a related issue. Thanks for your input.

After discussing with some other editors that are having the same issue, it appears that this may be rank related. It seems that rank 6+ have no issues cutting segments, while rank 4 and 5 don’t seem to be getting the error.
Is this supposed to be locked to rank 6?

It wasn’t previously. And @SunDevil2213 has been able to do this…sometimes.

Hello,

No it is not supposed to be locked to rank 6, and sometimes also R6 are having issues. Until the time I open the thread mention above, it was working fine

I am aware that it is not supposed to be locked to rank 6. That is why I am asking the question.

Hi SunDevil2213,

May you please recheck if you still don’t have permissions to modify these segments?

https://waze.com/editor?env=usa&lat=33.45179&lon=-111.71893&marker=true&zoomLevel=20&segments=508457662

If no, could you send screens with errors which you see on your side?

Thank you in advance,
Nataliia

Nataliia,

I cannot modify those segments - same error as my original post - I don’t have permission. And in fact, I’ve noticed in a different area, I can’t even add a simple junction box now.

I tried to add a JB here to prevent the WB u-turn: https://waze.com/en-US/editor?env=usa&lat=32.32556&lon=-110.93793&zoomLevel=20&segments=528182474

I get the error “Saving Error. Oops! It looks like someone else changed one or more map objects you edited before you savedSuggestion: Reload the map to start over. Make these changes again, if necessary.”

No scripts, no extensions.

Whatever they did to try to “fix” this, they actually made it worse as I can’t add JB’s at all now.

This post is regarding errors adding a junction box. It also has details on what to look for in the console.

Nataliia,
Has there been anything more on this? SunDevil2213 is still having issues with this.
