The button to add a closure has moved to the bottom of the sidebar, that doesn’t make sense to me. Is that intentional? Image below taken from a script free version in Firefox Private window.

Hi Rompompom,

Thank you for your comment. This is a known issue at the moment. It will be fixed in the next version.

Why to we still have all the useless whitespace and boxes around comments in URs :!: We’ve already told you this is a waste and adds no benefit to the UI, all it does is make it more difficult to fit information on small screens, we keep telling you many of us work on laptops and screen space is a valuable resource.

This is what I last heard about that: https://www.waze.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=2220275#p2220275

On the subject of adding closures - is it possible that, when clicking Add Closure, the cursor automatically jumps to the Description box ready for entry of text?

Hi Gareth!

Thank you for your feedback, cool idea.

Can you please add it to uservoice so we can review it internally? You can also share the link here so we can upvote it :slight_smile:

Thank you!

The interface for lane width and lane guidance needs some improvement
https://imgur.com/a/DQMCAJ7

You have “Number of lanes” listed twice for two different things. 1) the number of lanes at the start of the segment (incoming used for lane width) and 2) number of lanes (outgoing used for lane guidance arrows).

Recommend having the lane width changed to “Incoming number of lanes” and lane guidance changed to “outgoing number of lanes”

Yes after you get used to the current it can be figured out but it is never a good practice to have two different items with the same label on a single interface.

Also the Displayed lane guidance arrows are just under the approach intersection which appears to refer to the lane guidance arrows vice the information above. Recommend having a visual indication of the shift from lane width to lane guidance. A simple bold line will suffice.

Hi Alan,

Thank you for your comment. Unfortunately, the attached screenshot appears blank on my end. Could you please resend it?

I sent the photo in an email to Daliah and asked her to forward it to you.

Oh my what is wrong with WME :shock:

I’m having so many issues drawing a new housing estate. Are these known bugs because I haven’t seen them mentioned on here or elsewhere:

  • When I draw a new segment the left panel is completely blank so I cannot add address, speed etc.
  • I also cannot delete it. Even a reload of WME doesn’t fix it.
  • I am unable to save edits. I can make multiple changes but the save button is still grey yet the segments are pink to indicate changes have been made.
  • On the odd occasion I can select a segment, the street field is greyed out.

This is where I have been working. I usually persevere with the odd bug but this has resulted in me having to turn it off and post this instead.

If I try to edit the Turn Istructions the WME does not save the job, as you can see from the video. I also tried disabling all scripts and extensions, there is the same problem in the WME Beta.

Hi Richard,

Thank you for your comment.

As for first two items, this is known issue at the moment. There are a few workarounds.

Can you please check if one of the following steps helps?

  • Try zoom in and zoom out;
  • Unselect the places layer;
  • Clear cache or refresh the page.

Regarding the third bullet: could you try to record video, when recreate issue on your side again?

And the last bullet: also could you provide more details, please? May I ask you to take screenshots with greyed out fields next time?

Many thanks in advance,
Nataliia
