Schoolzone layer is too high

Is this a…:
Standard bug
Steps to reproduce this issue:
If both Places and Hazards layers are active, it is impossible to select a place that is inside a school zone. Example: https://waze.com/en-US/editor?env=usa&lat=38.90322&lon=-76.99771&zoomLevel=18&venues=185467269.1854672690.1050392 is a place inside a school zone (this happens to be the school venue itself, but I’ve also tried other types of venues and had the same issue). If the school zone layer is visible, the place cannot be selected.

Is this a…:
Standard bug
Steps to reproduce this issue:
Enable schoolzone layer, navigate to a location with a schoolzone and try to select anything inside the schoolzone.

It is not possible to select anything apart from the schoolzone itself. Ideally the layer of schoolzone is moved more to the back so streets etc are still selectable with the layer active.

Same for me

The School Zone layer has been leveled up because it was under Places layer and you can´t move a SZ under a place.
But I think that Streets should always be selectable.

Hi @gylliegyllie,

Thanks a lot for your report. The issue has been highlighted internally. I will keep you updated on the progress.

All the best,

Hi @Nataliia_Staff how is the status of this bug going? I noticed it wasn’t mentioned on the latest release notes… New WME v2.305

I have to keep turning off the school zone layer to be able to edit segments.

Generally speaking, there won’t be mentions in release notes of bugs they are still working on.

They always put it at the end of the release notes of known issues.

Steps to reproduce this issue:
Hello,

I don’t know if this is necessarily a bug, but it’s an annoying issue when selecting segments that contain school areas.
It’s impossible to select the segment above the school area, as you can see in the image below.

You need to move the cursor outside the school area to select it (or disable the permanent alert layer).

In this specific case, there’s still space outside the alert area to select the segment. The problem is when the alert covers the entire segment, which forces me to disable the layer to be able to select the segment.

As I said, I don’t know if it’s a bug, but it’s a really annoying thing that slows down editing.

I reported this back in May: New WME v2.290 - #32 by G_W1Z

It was acknowledged by staff but has yet to be fixed.

I merged this into that existing Prod topic

A workaround I’m currently using is to use Ctrl+Shift to draw a selection box. But ideally segments remain on top of these school zones.

Hi @Glodenox,

Thank you for this tip! Speaking of workarounds, a map comment should also do the trick to some extent.
The issue is being worked on and we’ll keep you posted.
