I see about a 10% success rate. The rest of the time it's "No permission" even within my own area.

Maybe there is a reason it is undocumented, it doesn't work all the time. I'll try to update the Wiki this weekend.

I get a mixed bag since I discovered it. For one, it doesn't seem to work if the directionality of the roads is screwy. So a couple of times I've got it to work after I made the road connections so they would be accurate after the move. The other thing I think I've noticed is I am more successful with it if I have driven through that area, in other words, it looks like being AM is not enough permissions to make the road move. But this is just a guess, because I can't remember everywhere I've driven in the last 16 months.

(Still gotta add this to the Wiki . . . get around to it some day . . .)

Yep, that fall back always works in my AM zones. I'll update my first post to show the current status.

Finally got this on the Wiki. I was playing around with this last night and it appears that connectivity does not matter, so I will eliminate that from my first post.

Comments and corrections welcome.

Good to know I'm not the only one unable to use this anymore. I emailed alpha about it a few days ago and they said it was "an error", but that's all they've said so far. Hope it gets fixed soon.

Good call, JonD.

This has to be a bug, though, since we're still allowed to perform the same operation the long way (disconnect, change geometry, connect) in those areas.

That's definitely worth documenting...! I could also have used it lots of times before... good job discovering that

I just wanted to comment that I've been using this feature a good bit over the last few days. Pretty useful, thanks!
