Thornton-Cleveleys, Lancashire Unlock request

Hi Editors,

I would like to be able to edit the following segment(s).
Your help will be greatly appreciated.

Permalink: https://waze.com/editor?env=row&lat=53.86500&lon=-3.01091&zoom=5&segments=392456048
Reason: Speed Restriction change approaching roundabout.
Unlock to level: 4

Thank you in advance,
Allan

Since this is your first post, I’m guessing you need the segment downlocked to level 1? That’s what I’ve done anyway.

Please let me know (another post here would be fine) when to restore the auto-lock

Welcome to Waze editing and the forum. Have you seen the Quickstart guide?

Have fun,
Ian

Hi Ian,
I’ve amended the speed limit to the section highlighted.
I think the restriction starts a bit earlier than that section and runs from the section before it.
Not sure of the exact distance but at least it’s better than before.
I’ve requested other changes with new requests as the whole roundabout has a 30mph restriction on its approach and departing roads.
I’ll go grab a read, I have read it before but can’t help getting better.
Regards
Allan

I’ve unlocked the next segment, so you can start the 30 limit earlier if you want.

I would suggest creating a (point) Map Comment saying that you’re not sure exactly where the speed limit change should be.

Looks like others have picked up your roundabout request(s).

Ian

Done, I hope it’s an acceptable comment?

Hi Ian,
Not sure how to start it earlier.
Did look at expanding the segment to the comment marker but that dragged the attached slip road for the opposite carriageway with it. So I undid the edit. More reading needed?

What you need to do is to split the existing segment into two. Then you can change the speed limit on one portion, and leave it alone on the other.

I am convinced that the method for splitting a segment on WME was intended as a short-term expedient only intended to last until a proper segment-split was coded. However, it works well, and the proper solution never has been written. :shock:

So what you do is draw a new road, and join it onto the existing road at the point where you want the split. Then delete the new road. This leaves you with the original segment split into two new ones. :slight_smile:

Ian

Done, please check it?
And lock it down. :shock:

All looks good to me :slight_smile:
Auto-locks restored.
