I can't create a landmark in this roundabout with WME Toolbox : https://www.waze.com/editor/?lon=-8.689 ... 21&env=row

I find after redoing a roundabout with WME Toolbox if I select one of the segments, before saving, it keeps telling 'This roundabout has no consecutive segment IDs.' and the roundabout icons disappear.
Problem is solved if I reload the permalink.

Feature suggestions:

Ability to select a group of connected unnamed segments. Useful when creating parking lots or even regular roads, and you want to set the direction and names. Today, you have to painstakingly select every segment you have created before applying the change.

To prevent unwanted damage, it can limit itself to segments that were created on the same day as the first selected segment + today. (In case you come back after a day or two, facepalm on having forgotten to un-red the roads, add two tweaks, then press the button.)

You can do that using toolbox's landmark option
Which option are you talking about? I don't see a landmarks button on the bar, nor a landmarks checkbox in the pop-out selection list. I'm using WME Toolbox plugin v1.3.6.3 / WME Toolbox loader v1.2.2.

Looks like an update is in order for the Select Segments grid:
davielde wrote:I just got on my main computer and saw the issue for Colour Highlights on every segment. Toolbox's FwdSpeed and RevSpeed were also 0 for every segment. Once the script writers get wind of the issue, a fix should be possible using averageSpeed. I currently cannot tell if that is useful for both directions though...because I'm a SQL developer ;-)

I did create Transparent as a redirect to the Keyboard Shortcuts page for "a"
Maybe a topic named "Arrows"? (Redirect or its own short page. It could be an explanation of how to physically interact with the arrows as a separate how-to page.)

And perhaps a quick note in the turn restrictions text.

I suppose it could throw a warning dialog: This will delete the existing roundabout and road connections, and create new ones in their place. Any existing history will be lost, including creator, creation date, speed data, and (?) hour numbers. Continue? OK/Cancel

I also agree that things like popup confirmations need to be options so that they can be disabled. Or just not included in the first place.
You mean like the closing a UR confirmation dialog, because you asked the driver a question and he didn't answer for a week?

Part of the problem is not a memory leak. The toolbox "phones home" every time a WME page loads, and it does it synchronously, so you have to wait until it completes its cycle. Its a significant design flaw. I appreciate all the hard work done in programming it, but do we really need to report usage statistics?
