Hi,

Can you right click on the map where is says "Permalink" and copy the url - it would also help if you select the road before doing this - and post the link here and someone will have a look.

What error message do you get, exactly? Is it along the lines of "While you were editing a road has been changed or deleted"?

Hi,

Essentially, yes. Keep it on the back burner and keep an eye on the Status page. Once you see an update to at least today, then check the segments to see if they are editable.

Welcome on board... :)

Yeap...I can't save it too. Possibly sync issue. Sometimes it will disappear after few days. Anyway, I'll send it to waze support to sort it out.

It seems there are some ghost segment overlapped. It may be caused by the rollback (see status here).

I'll say to wait for few days and see.

I've moved the top segment and see a ghost segment which can't be edited.

Hi Tim, Just to let you know that I've asked Support to take a look on this case. You can contact them again possibly you have more power than mine to force them quicker :mrgreen:

I've been seeing a lot of these problems in N Yorkshire, all caused by edits I did on or around July 26th. I've asked HQ to fix some of them, others I've been able to sort out myself. Most of the time there's a duplicate segment hiding on top of a real segment, which cannot be edited. Moving the end nodes helps identify the real segments.

HQ said sync errors should resolve themselves after 10 days, but I think this is some different kind of database corruption. I might get in touch with them again...

Let me know if you find any more like this.
