We are excited to share that the Traffic Light feature is now live in WME Production for all environments!
Please read the detailed feature description in the dedicated post. We encourage you to give it a try and share your feedback in the mentioned post.
This version also includes a list of Improvements for Traffic Lights added after testing the feature in IL:
Improved the visual experience for junction boxes and complex intersections:
now, when selecting a specific traffic light, we display only the turn arrows directly impacted by that TL, rather than all segment turns.
Introduced a change making turn arrows non-clickable when a specific traffic light is selected; this smoothes the flow and prevents accidental edits.
Added an explanatory tooltip for the Crossing paths section in the ’TL& impacted turns’ panel.
Have improved the logic for handling short segments, specifically when zoomed in:
previously, traffic lights could only be added to very short segments via the node. Now, the system highlights the relevant portion of the short segment, allowing the traffic light to be placed correctly.
Bug fixes:
We released 10 bug fixes:
1. WME Performance: resolved the bug where WME showed a lot of Content Security Policy Violations.
2. Merging nodes: fixed the issue where the error ‘There’s a problem with the highlighted segment & node’ would appear, which previously required additional steps or repeated save clicks to bypass.
Thanks @Nataliia_Staff. Are traffic lights supposed to be released to production WME? They’re visible in the menu, but it wasn’t mentioned in your announcement post.
Thanks for the heads-up! I’ve updated the post and tagged the Traffic Lights announcement. Feel free to give the feature a try and leave your feedback in the dedicated thread.
Thanks for the appreciation and feedback! It is a pleasure to deliver valuable features and fixes. I’ll be sure to pass your thanks to the engineering team as well.
Great update, i have noticed that the " Map Team " messages are all in English as default. it would be good if the Map Team can detect the prefer language of the user, and send the message in their prefer language. Specially for example in Miami and Puerto Rico, there is a lot of people that only speak Spanish, so when they get the message in English they wont reply to that message until i send the response in Spanish. so if ge get the Map Team message in the prefer language the possibility of getting a reply will increase.
i made a Suggestion for this just in case, Make the Map Team replies detect the prefer language of the user to send the first message in the user language – Waze Suggestion Box
