Road width is a WME beta feature, is it not?

I noticed some irregular behaviour in the LG tab, see short clip here: Klikkerdeklik

This is the PL to that segment, but it happens on each one with LG: https://www.waze.com/nl/editor?env=row&lon=4.47884&lat=51.89173&zoomLevel=21&segments=261878610

I also do not see road width as an option in WME Prod. Wondering maybe if that was added by mistake?

Could you also elaborate a little more on the updated GPS points? Are there just more points that you are pulling data from, are they updating more often, are they more accurate?

Thank you for the document!

We still desperately need a way to determine or filter the age of GPS points. With the severely outdated aerial views in areas with rapid growth and major traffic pattern updates, the GPS points are often our only guide for road realignment. Without a way to age the GPS points, it is impossible to tell what is the old and what is the new traffic pattern.

Edit - spelling correction

This is definitely an ongoing request and I’m hoping that the “new” GPS layer is the first step in making this a reality! I know this was brought up at prior in-person NA meetups, and it’s in the Waze suggestion box for anybody else who wants to give it a thumbs up in order to push the request further up from “backlog” status.

Thank you for fixing the pressing enter when the cursor is in Alternative address does not apply changes.

Hi Joe, apologies for that. Roadwidth is indeed still in beta only.

I edited the post, thanks for flagging!

This is a positive point, but - and there is always a “but” :twisted: - there are so many arrows that we barely see the segments below of them.

Information from scripts like Magic (those errors flagged by it), or from other scripts, are barely noticeable now at 16/17 zoom level (I consider the 16/17 zoom level a “good zoom” to see the surrounding big picture of an area). I think you could keep those «more GPS points» as they are now, but why not apply some transparency to them, to make the information on the map more readable!?

Also, I use GPS points to add new roads to map where such roads are missing, but now it’s not noticeable where roads are present and where they’re missing, just because GPS points “hides” a lot of information. Okay, I know I can toggle the layer on and off…but…is this really a productive way to edit!? :wink:

Thanks

Hi Rompompom,

I tried to reproduce the issue with no success. Can you still recreate this case?

Hi Jaywazin,

Thanks for posting a link to the suggestion here. I upvoted it.

I was able to reproduce in WME Beta and production with no scripts or extensions…posting a bug in the beta bug forum

@rompompom, make sure that your reports and videos are done without any scripts or extensions to rule out a script issue.

Hi Nataliia, yes I can. I also tried WME in a Firefox private tab, so no scripts running whatsoever.

New clip: Link.

I don’t have WME Beta access, so can’t add to the bug report there.

@rompompom
I have already reported the bug and it has been added to the worklist

One other thing that has been bugging me for quite a while: since a few months (or maybe a year already?) it’s possible to move nodes when you are in house number mode. This has no purpose or benefit. Can that be made impossible again?

Or make it so the changes will save.
