I use long segments too, for all the reasons above plus it just feels neater!

Thanks for the info. I have been using the longest possible segments this week to see what happens on I-90.

My advice: one segment
1. Prevents connectivity errors hiding in one little segment (or Waze deciding that one segment has become one way because of road construction one one part).
2. Improves routing accuracy. While subject to change, the last we knew was that junctions are given a time delay penalty when considering routing
3. Makes it easier for editing the details of the road - adding aliases, editing the geometry, etc. If you are making the road two-way, it becomes easier to change it to two one-way later. Or to add a separating barrier. Or lock it.
4. We can expect later editing tools to flag a road to junction to road as maybe missing a road...ie looking for intersections/missing roads. Let's avoid unnecessary false errors.
5. No good reason not to do so. Waze will report traffic congestions on a part of a long segment. It also keeps track of the road speeds point to point along a road, and not junction to junction.
