Could I get all these dropped to Level 4 please? There’s roadworks through here and some enabled turn restrictions on two bus only turns so it’d be good if I can edit through here.
All down!
Please consider redoing this roundabout: https://world.waze.com/editor/?zoom=7&lat=-27.47849&lon=152.9843&layers=BFTFFTTTTTTTFTTTTTFTTTFTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT&segments=187001443,105098296,105098292,105098298,105205460,105098288,105098290
It has been parlty broken (a mix of normal street and roundabout-segments and was reluctant to any change of locklevel unless I converted the remaining roundabout segments into streets too.
Thx :mrgreen:
All fixed, I even named the Bus only turn ramps as ‘Bus Only’ to make sure no other editors change the restrictions by mistake (there are signs at the intersection but nothing on the road to show up on the aerials).
The round-a-bout is fixed up too, thought I should do it now as it’s a popular major route. I’ll drive through there after the update (when they fix their database issue) to make sure all is good.
OK, thanks for the effort.
I already locked it up to lv5 again.
I’m not too happy about this: https://world.waze.com/editor/?zoom=7&lat=-27.47872&lon=152.97663&layers=BFTFFTTTTTTTFTTTTTFTTTFTTTT&segments=210980960 for it creates an extra junction in a freeway (especially sensible thing here in Oz). Whats the reason for this?
Never even thought of the junction at the time. Was tired that night. Just removed it now.
On that note, should the bus only ramps be disconnected from the freeway as they create two unnecessary junctions? Perhaps replaced with a landmark reading ‘Bus Only’ to stop other editors adding them back in?
Thats OK, I just refrained from removing it without asking, for I didn’t know the reason for it.
Problem with a landmark is, that it has to have a minimum size (area) to be visible in the client, I’m not sure if we get that there.
Also a street serves for orientation too, so I guess you would soon get “missing road” reports if we remove them.
Only yesterday a global champ showed me something that’s about to be introduced: time and userbased turn restrictions - so soon we will be able to set a turn allowed for buses only. So there are some valid reasons for letting them stay there. Maybe we could reduce it from a 2-ramp-2-junctions to a simple T-junction. Bing maps would suggest such an approach and we would save 1 juntion doing so too, but I’d like your input on this too.
I did some finetunig in it, thus removing the junction on the M4 (W) - it’s quite OK to let streets just cross each other without adding a junction if there is none. Also I draged the ramp “to M5 (W) Western Fwy” a bit more to the west to unify it with junction of the exit ramp “to Mt Coot-tha Rd”, thus also removing one junction (look at the “trick” with the angles to ensure proper routing instructions: the geometry of the on-ramp is joining the geometry of the motorway before the junction. So they have the same angle to the off-ramp, getting equal instructions, like before with the two junctions).
With the lv5 lock just a handful of users could do any changes there.
So tell me, what you think about it - my maybe slightly higher experiance does not prevent me from overlooking something 
Looks good to me. I may drive through there after the update to see exactly what the routing does from Dean St to Mt Coot-that Rd, though I can’t see any obvious problems.
I’m real keen on the time based restrictions, whilst I don’t personally have problems with them during my standard commute, I do pass a couple. I once saw some chap sitting at a set of lights waiting to turn right when the light wasn’t going green for another hour (due to time based turn restrictions) and I’d hate to have Waze tell someone to do that.
