Created a road, but it has gates on

Hi knowledge base,

I am slowly creating roads for a new housing estate. It appears the builders have created a secondary road into the estate which has gates on it, so in normal day to day, it cannot be used. Fortunately, they were left open and I was able to drive through and as such drawer the road (which is also named). When I put it onto the map making it so you couldn’t turn into it, the map did not like it.

Should I make it fully accessible to appease the map, or just delete the road.

Thanks

Nik

You could make the road with a double penalty (private, normal, private, normal segments) if no one is supposed to use it (has a gate), or just don’t connect it.

Hi NikKershaw,

Thanks for your work adding this new estate.

I assume you’re referring to https://www.waze.com/en-AU/editor?env=row&lat=-35.37090&lon=149.25268&zoomLevel=18&segments=442247262. Until the road is open, you can just leave it disconnected. :slight_smile:

Note that Ellerton Dr is a yellow road? We call those a “primary street” and we lock those to level 2 editors and above. You’re currently a level 1 editor. When it is time to connect, let us know and we can temporarily unlock it to level 1 for you to connect. :slight_smile:
