thanks for the update and the great addition to change diameter! very very useful and working fine.

As it keeps the original creator, is it correct it is not the same as "redo" where it would be recreated?

Correct. This moves all of the nodes to s new location whereas TB's redo roundabout creates new segments
Even better! We didn't have that option before besides manually moving all nodes :lol:
thanks again!

I don't know if it's specific to this roundabout or not. Here's the PL: https://www.waze.com/ar/editor/?env=row ... 158&zoom=7

I don't know why it's happening, but it reoccured on several roundabouts today. It appears to apply to some but not all segments of a roundabout.

I made sure only this script is running and all my other scripts are disabled.
The 'bug' is already reported and Justin answered it is because the segments nodes are reversed compared to the others. In your link, the segment is from A to B, whereas the others connecting go from B to A.

Thanks for all the work. I'm happy with the new sleek lay-out, but also with the return of the moving nodes "in" and "out".

One more thing that is a minor disadvantage is the possibility to turn on and off "Enable Roundabout Angles". It moved inside the panel. In the old layout, it was very easy to check the angles without having to open the full panel. Saves clicks and space on screen. So I'd favour to return that as well.

:idea: Moving the toggle option back to the closed screen would save many clicks already

This is an excellent point, but this is why we have JuBRA and now paths.
We should not rely solely on heuristics, especially since it smells like you might wanna change the angles (that should reflect reality) in order to meet these heuristics.

The correct way to do this here would be put JuBRA or paths and set manual overrides to ensure the behaviour you wish to have while accurately mapping reality.

This PL screams for JuBRA TBH!

Did a quick mapping to show what I mean (don't worry, I didn't save... :D)Screen Shot 2022-12-01 at 15.58.28.png

The JBs and Paths are great but it would still be nice to know what angles trigger normal vs non-normal instructions at roundabouts. Equipped with this knowledge we will better know when to use the tools you mentioned. The script this post is about helps us with the instructions. @Rickendude Can you please share how the the instructions are calculated in the server/ client side. It seems like there is some kind of magic sauce that includes departure angle of the segment going out from the RA segment, the amount, of segments between the RA-in and RA-out segments, the angle of departure from the RA-in to the RA-out segments. You can see in the CC thread that there has been misunderstanding about the instructions for a while. 

The problem with not knowing what instructions are given without using JBRA is that when we map things we may not know if the JB is needed, which will cause problems down the line with poor instructions given to the Wazer.
Thanks.

Works wonderfully to move the RA.

With it running, though, edits wouldn't show to save, although when I clicked to close the browser, I got 'you're going to lose edits' box.
