When selecting multiple segments in a road and changing the speed limits, the changes don’t work correctly when the segments are in opposite directions. When I set the speed for A-B, the number for A-B goes blank, and then when I set the speed for B-A the display becomes correct for A-B but goes blank for B-A. If the blank display is ignored and the changes are saved, some segments get changed in one direction and not the other.
It can be corrected by setting the speed again for B-A, resulting in the saving of 3 changes instead of 2. Clearly this is a bug, and is repeatable. If all segments are in the same direction, it works as expected.
I think this is caused by some mismatch in the way that multiple segments are linked, with the individual A-B directions being temporarily ignored so that the whole road shows as A-B and then the change of speed is applied to the wrong side on some segments. If one direction temporarily has multiple speed limits, the speed is not displayed for that direction, even though they should all have been changed in their own A-B direction.
One major improvement would be to have a button to reverse the A-B direction of an individual segment, without changing any of the turn restrictions, voice directions, speed limits, etc. This would mean that speed limit editing was easier in future. Nobody really needs a particular A-B or B-A direction, do they?
WME does give a warning when multiple segments aren’t in the same direction, but it doesn’t offer any fix, or even highlight which segments don’t agree with the overall A-B display.
Another improvement would be to have an option on each segment to link the speeds on both directions, so that only one needs to be typed in. I suspect it’s very rare for a two-way road to have different speed limits for each direction in the same segment. I’m surprised that Waze wasn’t designed with the speeds linked and an option to unlink them.
I believe this has already been reported by @iangpowell in another Waze forum, but as a lowly level 1 editor I can’t follow the link to that - I’m using the same subject line. https://www.waze.com/discuss/t/changing-speed-limit-on-multiple-segments-in-wme-sometimes-fails/22249
