Hi Editors,
I’d appreciate your help with a map update - unfortunately I haven’t been able to report it in the app as yet so I’m hoping this permalink and my ramblings help.

Reason:
If travelling along the A643 - Elland Rd towards Leeds / the M621 roundabout it will often throw an odd routing choice in that takes you up Heath Rd, across Cross Heath Gr, back down Heath Gr and back onto the A643 again.
It’s like it thinks the two segments outside part of the football ground are closed or not drivable - today it was at around 08:40 but I’ve seen it at other times of the day too in the past.
I can’t check for “closures” or restrictions due to my editor level (not even read only) but it’s like there’s something in place along this part of the route that sometimes puts closures in like they might on a match day when the road does actually get closed for a while.
Can someone with the relevant access just have a poke around along this stretch please and see if there’s anything amiss?
Sorry this is so vague but I can’t get on here on my normal devices so I’m on one where I can’t necessarily collect the level of detail I’d like to. Next time it happens I’ll try to report in app to provide more context but I just wanted to get this logged as it happened this morning.
Cheers
It just happened again, tried to report on Android Auto and Waze just crashed 
I’ll get the data one day but something is definitely amiss on one of these segments.
It’s showing a slow crossing speed on a friday evening (below, possibly due to the pedestrian crossing there?), but not in the early morning. Otherwise I can’t see a cause.
That’s interesting, I wasn’t aware there were slow crossing indicators like this.
Presumably it’s showing a worst-case “there’s a football match / event on” at times when that isn’t the case but to divert you up residential streets to come back out at the bottom of Heath Gr where nobody would let you out seems counterintuitive.
At least my theory there’s a zombie closure on here isn’t the case but I’m still a bit confused by this one, I suspect nobody would look at the empty road ahead and follow the guidance given to detour but it’s an odd one.
Thanks for taking a look, hopefully one day I’ll get to the point where I can see a bit more myself.
Still no joy getting a report in at the time due to Android Auto shenanigans but I did get a photo of it happening just before 7am today.
Road clear at that point, crossing obviously not as hectic as a match day at peak times.
