I noticed that in my development the roads have gray dots down the center. After I drove on the roads the dots turned green and a green line is down the center of the road. I thought the pac man would eat the gray dots if you were the first person to drive on the road.
thanks for an explanation

What platform and map color scheme are you using? In the map editor theme, unverified roads have a greenish tint, so maybe that is what you are referring to.
The design is that the client yes will munch the dots as you drive over them. Don’t be to fixated with what you see in the client though. The client has road snap to code, to help with the poor GPSs that are in our phones. This code has some preferences to road with known same directionality as what you are traveling (why would you be going the wrong way on what waze thinks is a one way road in the other direction), and prefers the suggested road if you are in navigation, causing sometimes non-detection of driving on a parallel road.
The servers actually give you the points and removes the dots when it does deeper analysis of your route over the next couple days. If the GPS is to far off, or road snap is wrong, the server might not agree with what the client showed you at the time, and take or put dots back on your client map to match what it thought of your route.
