[Script] Street Vector Layer
The Road layer for the editors, made by editors.
Please click here to install it (new Repository since 11/03/2021, v. 5.1.5)
Edit: New screenshots As some (or most) of the people here is not liking the new Road layer (incl. me), I've asked to myself:
Why does Waze have to choose which colors we like? Wouldn't it be nice to let the user choose? Wouldn't it be better for color-blind people to choose colours they can distinguish?
Unfortunately this is not possible with the current tiles, as they are generated on a Waze server and we just download them.
In order to do so, the tiles has to be generated by our browsers.
That said, after one afternoon of work I've created this vector layer.
Pros:
The script is currently in "alpha" status. Some things still needs to be fixed or improved.
Let me know what you think about it, so I can see if it's worth keeping developing it.
If you would like to try it, please send me a PM, I'll let you know in the following hours/days when I have something usable.

Pros:
- It's possible to customize it (color of the road, size of the road, ...)
- It keeps working if the tile server is down
- Saves bandwidth (i guess not much, but better than nothing).
- What you see is what you can edit. When the elements are loaded they are drawn. No more clicking on segments that can't be selected.
- You don't have to save to see the edit, segments are redrawn when you move/delete them (less confusion when deleting/moving segments).
- Tries to take the good things of the old and new layers and puts them together (mostly old colors for street, primary and highways and new colors for non-drivable/dirty/parking lot streets, plus restrictions and toll).
- If the segment is closed a purple dashed line is shown on top of it.
- Makes your CPU work a little bit more
- Names placements is not as nice as in the new road layer but, as far as I know, with this version of OpenLayer, is not possible to do better. Names might overlap.
