I would agree too. And add multi select/delete too!

Unfortunately, the vast majority of the "voices" are more concerned about staying logged in, dashboards stats, and various client features. If we were to combine all these ideas into one UserVoice request, and all the AMs & other active map-editors were to vote for the whole package, the total would be much more noticeable. Considering these suggestions are coming from the people who (in many areas) are the only thing preventing entropy from taking over, representing probably millions of combined map edits, hopefully they'll pay attention and we'll see some progress.

So: if you know of a feature on UserVoice that would make the job of map-editing faster or easier (without requiring a total rewrite, so it gets done in 2011), PM me by January 15th with its URL. I will do my best to combine them into one feature set & create a UserVoice entry for it, and then we can all move our votes there.

Chances are, this topic will be more popular in the Map/Editing forum, so look for further discussion there.

EDIT: Started new discussion here. Tell all your friends.

If junctions are not connected, they will be removed from the map automatically.
If they are connected to segments, the 'remove node' should be used to basically create a bridge, which is why you will not be able to delete a few nodes at the same time.

But when it will be removed? Several days?

The time would have to be measured in years. There are roads in my area that have not been touched in over a year, with disconnected junctions scattered about. Unless someone created lone junctions or deleted extraneous roads just a week or two before I came along, without touching anything else, those junctions have been there for a long time.

But we're not just talking about disconnected junctions. Many times they appear in the middle of a single road: same street & city names on both sides, same direction, same everything. No reason for a junction to be there. Maybe another road used to connect at that point, but now it's gone. I make a point to delete these junctions, for two reasons:

1) every one of these junctions creates an additional segment of road that has to be edited separately; and
2) every junction is an opportunity for connectivity problems and other map issues.

In short, reducing junctions makes the map both more reliable and easier to maintain. Just this evening, on three different occasions I had more than ten of these unnecessary junctions on the screen, and I got to remove them all. One. By. One.

Both suggestions are covered in the official wishlist website

Agreed!
