Rivonia / Woodmead Area

[dmcconachie]

Enable all turns works 100% of the time for me! Don't judge this with the Restricted Turns layer which is known to be broken! Make sure to use the Highlight Connectivity option instead though note that occasionally this requires a quick zoom in and out by one level to refresh the highlights!

The Restricted turns layer helps to find the problematic areas in many cases...

There are some valid turn restrictions though... (such as U-turns where dual-carriageways merge and turns where slipways are present)

It's known to have issues though, showing restrictions where there are none and missing some that should be there. I don't go near it!

Someone has done some great work on the N1 N/S from rivonia to Beyers Naude! I need to refresh also maps on my cell.
Congrats and great stuff!

My apologies about the unrelated topic, but I think some of you may have permissions over this area. I didn't want to create a new topic, and no-one is responding to my update request.:
Jan Smuts & William Nicol Intersection is screwed. Can someone with permissions please fix it. I used the routing for the first time this morning and it want to take me on a rather strange route. The intersection needs to be created, and all the minor tracks removed.

It looks like it has been completed now. Area managed often don't use update requests to check for problems as we are all just trying to get the basic functioning of our areas going.
Hope you find the new junction useful!
PS. To find out who the area manager is just click the "Area Managers" button in the "Layers Panel" while editing maps...

Hi
I cleaned up Jan smuts and wm nicol as per your request a while ago hope it is routing properly now

I am AM for most of the joburg area inside the freeway circle and a bit outside as well. I'm concentrating on user reports and map problems when I have time, and also tidying up connectivity. Please feel free to use the update request in your client and give as much info as possible. Also feel free to pm me here...

There is still a slight problem at the Rivonia on Ramp, it would be nice if someone with permissions can fix it.
Basically the problem is the following:

If you travel east on Witkopen, and then turn left at the new Rivonia on ramp to get onto the N1 North, Navigation tells you to turn right and then left instead of just left, looking at Cartouche, the intersection there is a kink in Witkopen resulting in a right turn then left. I would fix it myself, but do not have sufficient permissions in that area.

On it...

On Friday on my way home I took the Rivonia off-ramp again for the first time in a couple of weeks and navigation here no longer seem to be working. For a while after Steven's last update, it was perfect, but it looks like someone have done some very bad things to Witkopen road and have broken the Interchange.

Maybe one of the Area Managers for this area can take a look, if not I will try to fix it later this week.

I have repaired the Rivonia Offramp again (the bits that actually go to Witkopen Road) Still not sure what went wrong for it to become so messed up. I locked all the one-way roads in the area, because I think the auto map updates might have had something to do with the problems at the interchange.

Rivonia Road itself and its immediate area still seems to require a lot of work, but I will leave that to someone that actually knows that area.
