[Script] WME Validator 2019.09.24 (PLACES BETA)

[AlanOfTheBerg]

The user community controls the Wiki, so we can do whatever makes the most sense

Well, in December I got the opposite answer, so I decided put everything on the forum...

At that time, I "spoke" for the community in that I didn't think it was a good idea. Also, previously, Waze didn't want the wiki to document too many details about userscripts. If that has changed...

I think you should remove the "mapUpdateRequest" part of the querystring here. It's a WME bug.

... this whole thing started because I posted that the "out of range elevation" check was not working for me. I'm finding quite a few "blank" elevation segments, but every time I try to permalink one, it reverts to ground elevation. Perhaps it is just a visual bug?

Disable other extensions. I believe one of them, like JNF or Toolbox, masks this bug.

The search for overpasses is very expensive operation and would be extremely slow. If there are 500 segments on the map it will take ~125000 comparisons to check if a segment crosses another one.

It could be quite cumbersome, yes. At least OpenLayers has a function for you (Geometry.segmentsIntersect). But, I'm not sure if that function works with a single segment like we think of it, or if it requires each lineString which a single segment has a lineString between each geometry node.

[AlanOfTheBerg]

So you DO check HN, though slow?

Yes I do and no it is not that slow. Last Sunday many people noticed that fwd/revCrossSpeed attributes have disappeared from WME, but there was a new handy attribute hasHNs, so the check was implemented

Just FYI, hasHNs has been around for ... well almost since house numbers were added to WME. (Non-public link.)

Maybe now it is finally getting populated.

As an aside, wow, that Wiki article could use some work! Lots of what-not-to-do screenshots and no corresponding how-to-do-it-right screenshots, just brief bits of text that even I have a hard time understanding.

Maybe just edit it to redirect to the Junction Style Guide page?

[AlanOfTheBerg]

Is there a way to highlight segments which carry an alternate street name? I'm thinking of configuring something with the new RegExp feature, but I would not know which variable to use (something like ${alt_street}).

WMECH does already highlight streets with alternate names. It doesn't, of course, do any checking of the names, but you didn't ask for that. Yet.

[AlanOfTheBerg]

Wait, I have a problem with the "no right turn" check. Wouldn't it call for erroneous enabling of turns like the right turn from this segment?

You are correct, sketch. In fact, it would/could erroneously highlight any junction/segment for which there exists a right-turn at-grade connector. If it is possible to look back one segment and find a "sister" segment which junctions the same segment for which the right turn is enabled, then it could ignore the first. However, I feel this type of check may be fraught with all number of exceptions that we can't think of at this time.

[AlanOfTheBerg]

Why is validator today warning me not to hack it and that it can delete all segments if I continue to do so? I just opened up WME same as yesterday. Running JNF, URO+, JAI and validator. What's going on?

[AlanOfTheBerg]

Hi berestovskyy,

Thanks for the fast fix!

On a side note, is there any chance you can allow street names (in the US) that start with "de", "de la", "del", "el" and "la" to not trigger the #170 rule? There are a number of streets in San Diego that start with those and they are 'correct'

In the thread quotes by CBenson, please supply either GIS link to city/county website showing lowercase usage or photograph of street signs showing lowercase.
