I came across a small parking lot with every lane drawn in. No problem, I thought, just a bit overenthusiastic; I'll delete a lane or two. I clicked on it, and...



Behold, the single-segment parking lot.

There was a guy in the L.A. area that did much more elaborate ones than that, all with one segment...and in every parking lot in what must've been an entire zipcode.

Someone needs to send MDReferee a warning on that.

Burns has no direction in his life...he needs to find Jesus.

Have you found Jesus?

I have.

I realized after I had posted both of those that the 'editable areas' layer was off. They are about 3 blocks just outside of my area. Oops.

The best part of it is *every lane* of the bank drive-thru to the south of the parking lot.

I'm sending the user a PM to give him the opportunity to read the Wiki and correct this.

All-right, which one of you wags did this! This is a Dunkin Donuts, but look at the landmark type.

If you want to find all the cops, they're hanging out in the donut shop...

Looks like some guy named jondrush edited it last!

Regarding the shape - we've always been handling large split roads' intersections like this (to also be able to control unallowed uturns). The bowtie might be an elegant solution, but distorts the intersections' shape a bit too much.

Every bowtie I've ever created around here has led to dozens of URs. They work fine if the split is too narrow to be easily visible on the client, but on a road that wide, people complain about them. They also have to be done carefully to avoid getting a right turn command for everyone that goes straight through the intersection.

On the NA server, if you narrow the intersection to less than 15m, Waze won't instruct a U-turn, and it's not as visible in the client.

You've all seen the apartment complexes and shopping centers with every lane (incorrectly) mapped. But now I bring you the (incorrectly) mapped cemetery! For extra fun, it looks like a stocking. How that relates is beyond me.

The only thing really wrong there is that the roads aren't set to private and of course, the mortal sin of the red road.

I don't really see it as overmapped. They are drivable roads. It's different from a parking lot. It's basically a gated community...for dead people and their guests.

Without transportation access just how do you expect them to get the vote out every election?

Oh wow. Didn't realize that cemetery was in Louisiana!

I only map the ones that seem to be used as shortcuts. And only the roads involved with the shortcut. The only execptions are large, historical sites that get tourists.
