Havant - Junction with West Street and Park Rd Sth

Hi Guys,
someone has raised an issue with a disallowed turn and I think they are referring to this junction.

https://www.waze.com/editor/?env=row&lon=-0.98499&lat=50.85207&layers=1957&zoom=7&segments=160167178
[EDIT: link fixed]

(Hopefully that link works. It doesn’t seem to for me but I used the link in the editor to get it)

Park Rd Sth has a thin metal fence between the north and south carriageways in the area of the junction but not much further either way. Should the road be redrawn as a dual carriageway or is it sufficient to just disallow both right turns at this junction?

Either way Park Rd Sth is locked as level 4 so I am unable to amend it, but would someone else be able to?

Cheers,
Angus

Hi there Angus, and welcome to the forums! :mrgreen:

First off, I corrected your permalink. It had an extra piece of text in it “/undefined/editor” - no idea how that happened. I also moved the post to the Unlock Requests sub-forum - that’s where you would normally post an unlock or fix request.

I agree that the UR (user report) isn’t entirely clear as to the turn that’s not allowed. It’s likely that Waze tried to route them through the invalid turn you spotted, but then they didn’t report it until they were sitting at the lights further down.

There is no need to split the carriageway for this. There’s no real separation and it would just unnecessarily complicate the junction without in any way improving the instructions to the driver. I’ve done as you suggested and restricted the 2 right turns.

If you haven’t found it already, have a look at the UK Wiki (link in my signature). And you can always ask questions here on the forums. We are a pretty friendly bunch. :smiley:

Hi Iain,
thanks for sorting that out for me and for the advice. Should I do something now with this post? Is it the green tick to mark it as sorted? Or would you have already done that?
Cheers,
Angus

You should tick it - generally tick the post the answers your question.

Glad to be of help. :mrgreen:
