Can someone downlock to L4 or lower please so I can correct the elevation on this roundabout?
(Also looks like it may be too small so I’ll check that too.)
Actually I can’t see any reason why it’s L5 - so unless there’s been an issue with incorrect edits in the area I’d propose back down to Automatic (L1).
I dropped it at the same time as I downlocked it.
At some time in the dim and distant past there may have been a reason for elevating and locking roundabouts, but if there ever was a reason, it no longer applies.
I’ll deal with a few more L5 roundabouts while I’m in the area…

There used to be a feature where the Waze engine would tweak road segments to match GPS tracks (well before my time). Since the GPS tracks around roundabouts are never very good, this would lead to roundabouts getting very “lumpy”.
To combat that, many editors would lock roundabouts - and since it was a long time ago, those were legacy locks that got promoted along with the editor in question.
As for elevated roundabouts, by far the biggest cause of this is WME Toolbox and the highlight for non-consecutive segments. For a considerable period of time, a bug in Toolbox cause the roundabout elevation to be increased when editors rebuilt roundabouts with non-consecutive segments. And, of course, I have yet to see a single roundabout problem that has been positively attributed to non-consecutive segments and I have this highlight permanently switched off.
Thanks for the edit, and thanks for the info - that explains a lot.
I think I’ve already switched that Toolbox highlight off based on your recommendation in the past.
I did however wonder whether non-consecutive segments could be the cause of the issues with double-roundabouts as these are often resolved by a simple rebuild.
If only! :roll: It’s about the only time I use that highlight - and that’s not the cause.
My best theory so far is that it’s caused by the phase of the moon. One day, I hope to work out which moon and which planet it’s circling. :lol:
