Why? I liked it! :wink: Could you make that a on/off option?

Why disable showing u-turns on dead-ends? Don’t they still cause strange routing?

Waze disabled it in this newest version of WME, I imagine the update to toolbox is to comply with the changes to WME. If you look at the thread about the new WME version, Waze said they are also working on correcting the routing issues they caused. They also said if it isn’t successful, they may rollback this change and show the arrows again.

I understand… but what waze said… is often not what happens in near future :smiley:

But are they not shown, or disabled? Validator still recognizes them as if they were enabled/disabled, before the arrows were hidden.

Validator needs to be updated to match WME update.

^^^ yes, that’s probably the right suggestion :slight_smile:

Another question; could you make the “save now” message stand out from other blue messages, by making a yellow background or something?

Hmm, why I don’t get Save before continue message?

1.4.4.2 Update: Traffic-lock highlight removed to match WME update New: Different highlight when automatic lock (traffic) is set New: Toolbox warnings displayed with a different color New: Clear road geometry now possible on roundabout segment

Hey Oyyo,

Good work on this!

Just another thought that would resolve the earlier discussion on Rank 1 highlights.

Would it be possible to highlight segments where there is an automatic lock that is different from what the segment is manually locked at? (perhaps one colour for when it’s locked higher and a different one for when it’s locked lower)?

Well in fact WME handles that like that:

  • There are 2 attributes for a segment: “rank” and “lockRank”
  • The “lockRank” attribute is the one you can change, the “rank” attribute is computed by the traffic algorithm
  • If the “lockRank” attribute is set, then WME shows this value
  • If the “lockRank” attribute is null, then WME shows “Automatic” + the “rank” attribute value
  • When you set “Automatic”, the “lockRank” attribute becomes null

Here is one of the changes you’ll see in the next Toolbox release:

Update: Segment list panel: "Traffic Lock Level" removed, "Automatic Lock", "Lock > Traffic Lock" and "Lock < Traffic Lock" added

Like that:

Now about highlight… Not really sure yet about what to do. I can highlight segments that have null lockRank (automatic), I’m not sure it’s very usefull.

Yeah, I’d agree that isn’t useful. What about highlight segments that:

  1. have an automatic lock higher than 1 (if automatic were to be selected)
    AND
  2. have an editor lock set that is different from the automatic lock

Does that make more sense?

About highlight… You could add two new highlight color/icon options.

  • New highlight for any roads “Lock > Traffic Lock”
  • New highlight for any roads “Lock > Traffic Lock”
  • Change current highlights/icons for the lock of a segment to display for the “rank”, unless " lockRank" is set. If “lock rank” is set, display based on that

This can be accomplished in different ways, I can think of two options at the moment.

  1. Have three sets of icons for each lock rank. One for standard and one for when it’s lower than automatic (if selected in options), one for higher than automatic (if selected in options). If not selected in options the standard icon displays for the segment locks.

  2. A color sharing behind (like an aura) the lock icon, or over the segment when rank >/< than lockRank (when selected in options)

Just my two cents and suggestions. Feel free to use, or discard.

1.4.4.3 Update: Segment list panel: "Traffic Lock Level" removed, "No Lock (auto)", "Lock = Traffic Lock", "Lock &gt; Traffic Lock" and "Lock &lt; Traffic Lock" added Update: better highlight of segments with automatic lock New: Highlight of manual locks (greater, equal, less than automatic lock) New: [L5] Auto remove toll attribute on non freeway/ramp segments

Hey Oyyo,

Far be it from me to request a feature removal, but I’d like to hear the justification behind this one.

I actually know of more non freeway toll roads in my region than toll roads that are freeways.

Would it perhaps make sense to make this a rank 6 feature as well? (I’m assuming it acts on all visible segments, not just selected ones)

Ok maybe this shouldn’t be used in some countries. In France, most of non freeway roads are free, and there a lot of toll segments that shouldn’t, like parkings, tunnels, etc.

P.S. it has been asked by french CMs :wink:

Hey Oyyo, I think there are some problems with the update for Safari.

Every time I go to the editor I’m getting an alert about a new version, even though Safari’s update mechanism shows none.

I also tried downloading from your site and keep getting version 1.4.4.1 even though the one listed as current is 1.4.4.3

I don’t have any objection to this being an L6-only feature, but I think it could be useful for repairing cases of points farming, where a rogue editor will select a large group of segments, toggle on the Toll property, save, and then (often unsuccessfully) revert them all. Another way to limit collateral damage with a feature like this would be to make it only function at certain zoom levels.
