Dear GMM Team

I wish you provide some useful tools as 
1-Ability of "Saving default road features"  for crating new roads. this make more faster drawing road because all mapmakers draw "traffic circles" then " Major"  then "minor " and then "local" roads. and your saved default features not useful at all ( mostly used for local roads).
2-Ability of selecting same features such as "local","minor","traffic circle", "major" and edit some of their properties such as "speed" ( very useful and  important for roads) and "clockwise" or "counter clockwise" for "traffic circle" in selectable area  and so on.
3-Ability of creating new shortcut on mapmaker page such as "create road by single click"  that can achieve by pressing "R" key on mapmaker page now  or click 3 step by  "crate new line"  click on "drop down" and  select "road".
Bye this tools we can draw all roads faster then you think.

Thanks 
Qobad

You can use the road runner tool from labs to draw roads faster with default attributes. When you select a priority and save a road, it automatically sets the speed for the priority unless entered manually.

You can select the segment using Segment selection tool and then choose "Change Segment Attributes" to change the particular attributes for selected segments.

3-Ability of creating new shortcut on mapmaker page such as "create road by single click"  that can achieve by pressing "R" key on mapmaker page now  or click 3 step by  "crate new line"  click on "drop down" and  select "road".

You can already press R to create road, T for Railway, W for River, E for polygons instead of going manually. However to make more useful shortcuts by users for their sessions/accounts could  be a new feature and good idea.

I cant find where is the Road runner tools may because of the US embargo on Iran limited us or something else. Wish see this tools upload by you or others, visible on your mapmaker page.

Segment selection is useful for a single  route not for such as "all separated  local roads in a selectable region (such as a city and so on)" or something else that I described in my suggests. 

3-Ability of creating new shortcut on mapmaker page such as "create road by single click"  that can achieve by pressing "R" key on mapmaker page now  or click 3 step by  "crate new line"  click on "drop down" and  select "road".

Jabran,

I think he means drawing a road with *custom* default attributes, not
the defaults that GMM developers chose for us. This is a valid request
that others have asked before (and road runner tool can't help with
that). E.g. drawing roads in a village, where all roads are Dirt type.

See Comment 3 here: http://code.google.com/p/google-mapmaker/issues/detail?id=114

Dan C.

Dear Jabran

Thanks for help indeed.
What do you think about others suggests described and the new one follow.
Ability of choosing road colors by users on their mapmaker page.
this is useful when you draw local road on sunny cities have white background as this link:
