I have a couple that the straight on is restricted and require a turn to avoid.
So no separate section for turn restrictions?

Turn restrictions can be scheduled too, so that doesn't fit exactly IMO either.

Segment restrictions: timed, but can be set all day
Turn restrictions: can be set with arrows, but if green, could have all-day or timed restrictions hiding in the restrictions interface

Ack.

Please modify the page as you've suggested and which Kent has lent some tentative-sounding approval.

We're going to need Restrictions page pretty much done this week.

Better to be told later or at least update them slowly over time....

This is already done, for my part of updating the main WME wiki page and the Editor Interface page.

Is the Restrictions page and other references ready for the feature to be released?

I uploaded a lot of image captures related to restrictions and started updating the page. I haven't had time to do the full correct job and make transparent edges to the screen caps so they look high quality when rendered within the wiki page, though. Wish I had more time tonight, but I've got to get to sleep.

I just severely chopped the template file: https://www.waze.com/wiki/Template:Time ... cted_turns.

Also continuing to slowly put images in place in the primary Scheduled Restrictions page. If anyone else has time to do this, please do. All the necessary image files are already uploaded.

Lastly, I am working on replacing the jpeg files with GIFs because of the pretty look you can get with the rounded corners due to transparency of the corner pixels. Yeah, can also do this with png, but the files are so much bigger.
