My Level: 2  
Reason for request: Multiple. See below.

Hwy 17 at Beacon Avenue: [Permalink](https://www.waze.com/editor/?env=usa&lon=-123.40719&lat=48.64883&layers=2021&zoom=6&segments=59556106,59542773,59455657,59546565,59399746,59411851,62310998)

- Shorten connecting segment for divided highway to \<15m.
- As part of eventual relock request, lock all these segments to Level 5.

McKenzie Avenue: Please select [this segment](https://www.waze.com/editor/?env=usa&lon=-123.37527&lat=48.46673&layers=2021&zoom=3&segments=59494444) then \<Ctrl\>A to select more of McKenzie Avenue than I can send in a permalink.

- Add speed limits on McKenzie Avenue
- As part of eventual relock request, enforce consistent lock level (suggesting Level 4, if not 5) for all of McKenzie Avenue.

McKenzie Avenue / Hwy 17 Interchange: [Permalink](https://www.waze.com/editor/?env=usa&lon=-123.38025&lat=48.46779&layers=2021&zoom=6&segments=59402036,59429947,72786891,78521276,59549373) (works in combination with the unlock req above)

- Shorten connecting segment for divided roadway to \<15m.
- Adjust McKenzie W to Hwy 17 N cloverleaf so that it overlaps itself at a different level.

Hi @manoeuvre:

[These segments](https://www.waze.com/editor/?env=usa&lon=-123.40719&lat=48.64883&layers=2021&zoom=6&segments=59556106,59542773,59455657,59546565,59399746,59411851,62310998) and [these segments](https://www.waze.com/editor/?env=usa&lon=-123.37857&lat=48.46711&layers=2021&zoom=5&segments=59549373,501668198,501668199) are ready for relock to L5.

However, I couldn’t complete the other edits. The McKenzie Ave link was just a starting point, as there were too many segments to include in one or two Permalinks. Please select [this segment](https://www.waze.com/editor/?env=usa&lon=-123.37527&lat=48.46673&layers=2021&zoom=3&segments=59494444) , then \<Ctrl\>A to select most of McKenzie Ave before lowering to L2.

Thx

Thanks. Done and ready for relock.

NOTE: I temporarily have L4 access while working on speed settings within my AM area. So, I put all of McKenzie Avenue to L4 while setting the speed limits and fixing the \>15m intersection connector. I was going to recommend that all of McKenzie be set L4, with perhaps Hwy1 to Rainbow St (just east of Hwy17) being set to L5. Prior to this, it was a mix of L3 (auto) and L3 to L5 (manual).
