L5: Norwich, CT

Need a level 5 to help with some weird private road routing, for more information please see: https://www.waze.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=247&t=93926

I’m L3.

what are you looking for here - just to have the private road segments locked R5? If so, can you permalink the exact segments here and I will take care of it.

If you’re still having issues with the app routing drivers across this area, you may want to make all of the segments private rather than just the entrance segments. This will significantly increase the routing penalty and should force Waze to route around. if this was a much larger area it would be something worth looking into, but for something small like this making all of the segments private may not be a bad idea (and low impact). obviously the parts on the east side that are not private would remain street.

Ben,

Don;t be sure of that. I have not tested myself, but posts I’ve seen claim that the penalty is only on TRANSITION between road types, so an all-private area may actually have a lower penalty than a gate-only setup.
