My Level: 2
Reason for request: Fix UR. Left turn not allowed from PLR to New Rd.
Lowered - please advise when completed.
Extra credit: Also the street that connect New Rd and Sharkey Rd is not labeled. Can you check this via GIS, county maps or other public maps? This segment should inherit the next name segment which would give an instruction coming off I-280 to New Rd as a “Turn Right” onto Sharkey Rd, then Turn (whatever direction) at Sharkey Rd once you reach that intersection.
I’m not done searching yet, but found some resources indicating that the unnamed road is Edwards Rd. Those also show the short segment (right turn) from that unnamed road to the existing Edwards Rd to also be Edwards Rd. Thus, Edwards Rd is a “Z” shape there. Looks like when they put in the I-280/New Rd interchange they cut Edwards Rd and moved it so it reconnected New Rd. (However, I’m still looking at resources that I would prefer to be state/township referenced.
Found contradicting information on the NJ-GeoWeb site. https://njgin.state.nj.us/NJ_NJGINExplorer/IW.jsp?DLayer=Parcels%20by%20County/Muni#
What is shows is that this unnamed road is Sharkey Rd. It also only shows that Sharkey Rd continues with a right turn at the point where Waze had Sharkey Rd. The long segment Waze has labeled as Sharkey Rd (on the left) is not labeled as a road.
I would tend to believe this NJ-GeoWeb site as that long segment doesn’t look much like a road when you turn off and this site can be used to view parcels.
If you agree, should I make the changes?
Good investigation - I’ve checked out the resources too and agree the unnamed road should be Sharkey Rd which makes a right then connects with Edwards. The section that goes left should probably be changed to unnamed. Looks like someone was matching Google and not official resources.
Thanks. I’ve updated these segments as agreed. Also, the segments on New Rd can be relocked (if not already done.)
