Advice on unsuitable for motor vehicles marked road

I have a UR at the southerrn end of this road, and the “unsuitable for motor vehicles” sign is clearly visible at both ends of the road. The GSV car hasn’t made it down here, but there are clear GPS points, so there are a number of Wazers that have given it a go!

My thoughts are that this sign is a recommendation that it may not be suitable for standard cars, rather than a ban on all motor vehicles, which means it is up to each motorist to assess the suitability of their vehicle and the risk - those in 4x4s I’m sure would take seeing that sign as a challenge! On the flip side, do we want this road to be suggested for through routing?

So, what should I go for, as I couldn’t find much by searching on the forum or the Wazeo!

A) Change the road to private.

B) Add restriction for all vehicle types.

C) Do nothing, leave as is.

D) Something else!!! :smiley:

As it forms the only means of access to Harvestpiece Hall and Starveall Farm (British place naming at its best there :D), it wouldn’t be appropriate to mark it in a way that prevented any routing along it, which a vehicle-based restriction would do, but given both the signage and the physical nature of the road it wouldn’t be appropriate IMO to have Waze thinking it could be used as part of a through-route.

So my vote would go for marking it as private to enable the former whilst preventing the latter…
