Local traffic only in single direction

Hi,

I have a question on how to best handle the following:
In Zaventem, coming from the Grote Daalstraat, turning left on the Jan Baptist Devleminckstraat is disallowed but for local traffic.
https://world.waze.com/editor/?zoom=6&lat=50.87851&lon=4.47504&layers=BFTFFTTTTFTTTTTTTTTTTTTFT&segments=88292198

I flagged this in Waze and the first part of the road got flagged as private road (which as I understand is correct for a local traffic only street).
However, in the reverse direction, the road is open for all traffic (which now will be incorrect).

I believe the best way to fix this would be to split the road at the final intersection in 2 unidirectional sections, making the correct one private road and the other one a regular street.

Would this be the correct approach to handle such situation?

That sounds like a reasonable approach, although I would wait for experienced voices from your local community before taking my word. :wink:

If this is the way you decide to go, I would suggest doing something like this. We used this for the London Congestion Charge Zone - where entrances to the Zone need to be set as toll, but exits can not be - otherwise people have trouble navigating out of the CCZ.

The construction you see there is absolutely invisible on the client map and gives no turn instructions. The presence of the 2 red arrows preventing u-turns is quite distinctive on the editing map, making it harder to miss.

We have this set up in the US on some of the military bases. Private road in, street out. It prevents Waze from navigating through the bases for people who have no business being on the base, but still allows for people to navigate onto the base.

What problem do you have when you mark them completely as private?

As far as I know, none.

Then why not make the military base completely private road? :wink:

There’s an argument/discussion about that, too, but we’ve run into some problems with that. :\

I changed the situation as suggested, so for now there shouldn’t be any problem, for sure…

Noticed that yesterday or the day before.

Thanks for the change.

If everything is set to Private Road, Nested private installations (wholly within another private installation) could form a problem for navigating out of the base (changes are, waze sends you through the nested installation.)
If you are using the entrance restriction, you can use different types of road in the installation allowing you correctly map the installation (like dirt roads)

Thank you

There are a few of those segments in Leuven too…

one direction, but local trafic is allowed in both directions…

I have kept those segments as ‘one direction’ street…
…when I make them also private for both directions… it would become so complicated, trafic situation is more readable as ‘one direction’, and ‘local trafic’ finds their way anyway… :roll:

so check the situation specifically as if splitting road is beneficial or complicating ? :mrgreen:

‘Keeping it simple’ is usually better for correct gps routering
