Could someone downlock the remainder of Winterstoke road down to level 1 for me please so I can make changes in regards to the roundabout leading onto the new development. Along with being able to add the rest of the minor roads coming off of it please.
Downlocked for you. We’ll need to relock it to the auto level when you’ve finished.
Should be done for now thanks 
I’ve restored the auto-locks and put a manual L3 lock on the new segments associated with the roundabout, since they don’t match the aerials. That all looks good.
I do see a couple of problems with the roads on the new development.
All turns into and one turn out of this segment are red. There are a few other red arrows around the estate that look doubtful.
This segment has a length less than 5m. You wouldn’t know this as a relatively new editor, but Waze can have routing problems with segments shorter than 5m, so we try to avoid them. Either stretch the 2 junctions a little further apart, or re-arrange it to make a crossroads.
All of these segments are highlighting as having unneccesary geometry points. In other words they have geometry points that make no significant difference to the segment shape. This is not a problem. At the very worst, in map areas with a lot of extra geometry it can slow down less powerful machines when editing. What it does indicate is that you may be devoting too much time to precisely shaping segments. The process of building map tiles simplifies quite a lot of the detail from the editor map. If you learn to be a little simpler when you’re mapping segments, you will save yourself some time. 
This segment is only joined at one end. When you’re drawing a new segment, if you start it connected to another segment, you cannot also end it connected to the same segment: the editor will only split the other segment once and leave the first end of the new segment unconnected. The solution is to either re-join the first end after saving, or save the new segment without connecting the second end and connect it afterwards.
If you’re wondering how I found all this, there are 2 friends you should consider making:
- SHIFT-Z turns the Disallowed Turns layer on & off. As normal practice, I keep this layer turned on and only turn it off temporarily when I’m actually adjusting turn positions.
- WME Magic is an addon script for WME created by some of the cleverest and most experienced map editors. It will highlight all sorts of things on the map, from problems that will break routing down to information like highlighting unpaved segments. It’s an invaluable tool for new & experienced editors alike. :mrgreen:
Thanks for the detailed response it gives some great insights into stuff that isn’t immediately obvious or outlined in the wiki.
The turns are all disabled on some segments due to them only being available to works traffic until they are opened properly soon. This was probably the wrong way to go about this but then I thought as soon as I go past there next and see that the through road from the roundabout is opened (seeing as its all already pathed) I’ll enable all turns, allowing waze to be able route.
I have been making good use of the disabled turns layer to in fact make sure that those turns are disabled :lol:
Not to have sloping shoulders, as all this advice is very handy as I wouldn’t known any different :oops: , the majority of those roads you picked up on with having too many segments and the too short of a join were made by a previous editor along with the segment that wasn’t joined. Least now I know what to look out for and have made the changes, such as removing the short segment and turning it into a crossroads as you mentioned.
Thank you for the heads up on WME magic. I already have WME toolbox as well so this is a very handy alongside that. I also use another addon for chrome called “Overlays” which allows me a cheat a little using aerials from a number of different services to find any discrepancies along with allowing me to use the most up-to-date one to help with mapping new roads or ones that might have since been hidden by tree cover.
Thanks Ian
