Waze “Isolated segment – all turns from it are closed” – Google Search
Posted by jpluimers on 2020/01/17
A blog entry since it was hard to find about [WayBack] “Isolated segment – all turns from it are closed” – Google Search as the source reveals not much: no explanation at [WayBack] wme-history/index.html at master · wazers/wme-history · GitHub (A repository containing the pretty-printed index and JavaScript files of the WME to investigate version differences – wazers/wme-history).
Same for [WayBack] “Added big junction” waze – Google Search and [WayBack] wme-history/index.html at master · wazers/wme-history · GitHub
Note that updates you make to the map can take a while to update to the actual live map (even after approval).
You can check at [WayBack] Waze Status for the latest updates.
I added a piece of road in between Thunstetten and Herzogenbugsee, but could not save it:
Luckily, Pieter-Jan van Strien helped me out on the Belgian/Dutch slack channel (follow bit.ly/SlackInviteBNL to get an invite there).

A few tips:
- Change your settings (for easy discoverability that button is not named: it’s the wheel) and check the first two items:
- It is easier to extend existing roads, and connecting it to another one, than adding new ones and connecting it to two roads.
- Clicking on a red arrow will automatically make it green, no need to select a Waze “voice prompt” notification:
- You can remove layers (like forests) by clicking the layers icon in the top right (forests are in the “venues” category)

My editing process
- Ditch the addition I made in the above edit
- Extend the road on the top right in the above topmost edit window
(the road changes name in the middle of the forrest, hence I wanted to connect both in the middle).You can add new segments by dragging the small blue dots: they will become bigger dots called “geonode”, which is shorthand for “Geometry node” as you see in the below glossary terms.
- [WayBack] Glossary – waze: Dead End Node
- [WayBack] Glossary – waze: End Point Node
- [WayBack] Glossary – waze: Geometry Node (aliases: Geo-node, Geonode, Curve Point)
- [WayBack] Glossary – waze: Inter-geometry node
- [WayBack] Glossary – waze: Junction (aliases:Junction Node, Junction Point)
- [WayBack] Glossary – waze: Node
- Extend the road in the bottom left
You can drag an endpoint of one road over the endpoint of another road so both roads become connected.
- Ensure the “red” arrows become green.
- The arrow on the bottom left road
- The arrow on the top right road
- The arrow on the bottom left road
- After this, I named both roads and set speed limits, using the pane on the left.
