Unable to edit due to connection to Level 3 segment

Morning all and glad to have finally joined the community :slight_smile:

I live in Gatton QLD and have been checking out the map for any errors and have come across the below segment joining Tenthill Creek Rd and Western Drive.

https://www.waze.com/en-GB/editor?env=row&lon=152.26672&lat=-27.57136&s=104045847&zoom=6&segments=190667586

I attempted to correct it without realising Western Drive requires Level 3 ranking…

Cheers

Have you selected the correct segment? The link takes me to a white street that is level 1.

Edit: I’ve unlocked the minor (green) highway that segment connects to, let me know if that was the result you were trying to achieve.

Hi,

Thanks for that! I have completed the edit. Hopefully correctly…

Let me know if there are any glaring errors I’ve made as it is only the second edit I’ve done.

Cheers

Not sure if it’s what you’re after, on this segment - https://www.waze.com/editor?env=row&lon=152.26659&lat=-27.57144&zoom=7&segments=394700726 - Node A has no left turn.

I would also advise against splitting the lanes like you have done, we have editing guides which should be followed, and https://wazeopedia.waze.com/wiki/Australia/Road_Attributes#Dual_Carriageways requires three criteria before splitting as you have done.

I would prefer that the Tenthill Creek Rd be a single segment that is bidirectional off the minor highway, with the smaller slip lane to the north to remain.

That is, remove these two segments: https://www.waze.com/editor?env=row&lon=152.26659&lat=-27.57144&zoom=7&segments=394700551,394700581

Make these two segments bidirectional: https://www.waze.com/editor?env=row&lon=152.26659&lat=-27.57144&zoom=7&segments=394700608,394700609 and move them more central to the intersection (over the small traffic island basically).

While visually on the app divided roads look more natural and match what is paved, splitting them introduces further complexities which make other edits more difficult.

Understood. I see I was being too particular which isn’t always a good approach with editing.

Is it looking better now? The last thing is I am having problems deleting the below segment altogether…

https://www.waze.com/en-GB/editor?env=row&lon=152.26659&lat=-27.57144&zoom=7&segments=394700551,394700581

Perfect, good work.

I will lock up the mH again.

You’re limited to the number of deletes you can do until you have enough experience (and editor points) to reach Level 2 editor.

If you’re comfortable, I would invite you to join our Discord server via https://discord.gg/JM9jjY4 which may require an account signup if you’ve never used it before. We’re often more responsive in there which can be helpful for new editors.

Awesome :slight_smile:

Thanks for the help and advice. Much appreciated!
