[Script] WME Color Highlights - 2.38 Jan 2024

Here’s my script which adds color highlighting to segments and landmarks according to their status and type. The highlighting of segments is likely to be most useful, for it shows locked and un-named roads (with many other features since the first version). Click on the link below to see full changelog.

PS: Thanks to everyone who’s submitted feature requests and code - I will considering adding them in the future.

Hi, chrome users can install and use your script with TamperMonkey addon.
To install scripts with Tampermonkey just click on button install.
One of feature of TM si auto update of script :slight_smile:

Hey, Can we have this extension upgraded to show revcon, selfcon for streets and service roads also please…

Appreciate all the hard work you put into this.

We’ve discussed this before and decided not to. Revcon and Selfcon are not exactly big errors and seeing them on the map usually makes editors go all q+w all over the map and destroy valid turn restrictions.

How about show/hide filter by landmark type ? :slight_smile:

TamperMoney does not always work with userscripts.
Although the auto update is a great feature it is quite useless because most of waze user script do not run properly in TamperMonkey.

I thought you were going to make the Locked highlight less dominate over the roads, but it hides more than the previous version.

Just updated to v1.6.

I am now sometimes seeing a dotted orange line, when I have the No Name (Orange) option selected, on segments that appear to be correctly named.

What does this represent?

I’m not totally sure, but I believe that dotted/dashed lines signify an alternate name. So Orange dashed would be a No Name alternate name, which can likely be deleted as it serves no purpose.

Hmmm,

I have checked out another example of this, as far as I can see, the segment has not got any alt names. :?

The “St” in “St Davids Dr” should have a full stop - i.e. “St. Davids Drive”.

There’s a long-ongoing issue with the Text-To-Speech system where it’s supposed to pronounce this as Saint, but sometimes decides to pronounce it as Street. :evil:

Current UK thinking is that we should still be putting “Saint” as “St.” and hoping that HQ can sort out the TTS problem properly.

[EDIT] The Scottish are a devout folk - you’ll probably have lots of “Saints” around. :lol:

I can’t see the details on the world server, but I do see the dashed line. Tim? :slight_smile:

FYI, this segment needs to be fixed. It makes a “loop” but it’s a single segment which wraps back on itself with only a single junction. It should be straightened out and made into multiple segments. Also, why are there so many restricted turns on the roundabout there?

Ah-hah! That makes sense. Well spotted. :slight_smile:

Also, looking back at my earlier screenshot, that street was also a “St” street name.

Cheers!

Yeah, I noticed that, there are lots of segments like this around my local area. I intended to start a project to clean them all up.

The roundabout you mention, I think that was a failed use of the WME Junction Fixer script on that node. Sorry about that, I’ll tidy it up just now…

This is an undocumented feature (easter egg) for UK editors to indicate that the road names have incorrect or missing abbreviations. As Iain correctly pointed out, the dot was missing from “St”.

I considered if and how I would support this worldwide, but decided it would be a nightmare to maintain.
If anyone wants to make this work for their own country, feel free to edit the code :wink:

Sneaky sneaky.

Suddenly the directionality one-way doesn’t show if the segments isn’t marked. Is this a bug with the highlighter or do other editors have the same problem?

It’s an editor problem - nothing to do with the script.

Yes, thanks!

I just found it has been reported already. Given the different scripts I’ve installed I usually track them down first.

:wink:
