Suggest an edit - Invalid turn

Steps to reproduce this issue:
The reporter states the walking path was locked to a higher level, so they used SaE to draw the new road. They reportedly deleted the closure on the road to the right before starting. They then drew this new road and submitted it for review.

As the moderator, I attempted to approve it but received the error “Invalid turn” on save. When I look at the new segment, there are no turns available for the newly drawn segment. To attempt to resolve this, I move the A/B nodes away and drop them newly on the existing junction nodes, as I would normally; however, no turn arrows appear. I am unable to proceed and cannot accept this perfectly valid suggestion.

Recording:

Note, in an attempt to move forward with the required edit, we’ll map the road separately and leave the suggestion there for bug review. Let us know when we can reject it.

I had another example shared with me:

Seems to be something to do with the segment having an unknown direction at the time of the suggestion.

Now also in prod WME, so moved there.

This issue also extends into NA, I’m having an issue accepting an edit from an R2 in Fort Wayne, IN

The error is not being identified to the Editor and the suggest an edit even if resolved by adding direction during approval is not getting rid of the error.

Rejection is the only acceptance available.

Another example: one segment in this MS has no direction, so the update refuses to save.

Setting the direction does not help.

Is this a…:
Performance issue
Steps to reproduce this issue:
This issue happens most of the time whenever there is a map suggestion made by another Waze Editor.
80% of the times, when accepting a suggestion, the system would show a saving error with the following text: “Suggestion: All segments must be in the same direction”
Most of the time, such suggestions were made by new editors who are still learning how the editor works. While their edit is mostly correct, I end up having to reject their edits because of this system error and I have to make the edits myself.
Would be great if I could accept the edits at first before saving, and then I can make the necessary edits to remove such error before saving.

In this situation, can I delete the suggestion and do it manually, or leave it as an example?
