Road Names near Astra Zeneca N of Wilmington

Map Editors Community United States Delaware

Can anyone tell me if some WAZE roads should be changed to match the signage and the state of Delaware’s official names for these roads? If so, Google should be informed as well, though I don’t think there are currently any addresses on this stretch of road:

Here’s why I believe this to be so:
https://www.waze.com/editor/?env=usa&lon=-75.55353&lat=39.78357&layers=1957&zoom=8&nodes=58797141

At this node, Powder Mill Rd/141 comes in from the NW and exits to the NE.
Childrens Dr. comes in from the SW. And to the SE is SR-141 spur.

And again, as you approach the spur from W Park Dr: FromParkDr.JPG

Again, if you check the view from 202 https://www.waze.com/editor/?env=usa&lon=-75.54616&lat=39.78417&layers=1957&zoom=6&segments=69929716
You can see that the exit sign is for SR 141, not for powder mill road

So it looks to me like
https://www.waze.com/editor/?env=usa&lon=-75.54935&lat=39.78035&layers=1957&zoom=5&segments=68388486,68388485,63778975,68388480,68388481
should all be called Rt 141 spur, and lose the Powder Mill road designation.

So I think that
https://www.waze.com/editor/?env=usa&lon=-75.54494&lat=39.77842&layers=1957&zoom=5&segments=71853351
Should be SR-141 spur.

And that https://www.waze.com/editor/?env=usa&lon=-75.54497&lat=39.77842&layers=1957&zoom=5&segments=71853354,61305956
should be broken apart on one side of the flyover or the other, and everything to the W of the divide should be SR-141 spur, and everything E of 202 should be Foulk Rd/SR-261

My recollection is that, before the spur was built, Foulk road ended in a T intersection at route 202 at approximately the spot it now hits 202, but that was many years ago.

Does that make sense?

At first I was like “You gotta be kidding”

But yeah, you’re right.

Power Mill Road used to be a contiguous straight road from Murphy Road to Barley Mill Road. The right-angle turn was put in when that spur was built. Calling that spur Powder Mill Road is definitely not right.

So since that’s not right, and since it appears there’s no properties along that part of the road that have an address in the county maps, and since it’s called Route 141 Spur in the GIS maps, then I think it should be renamed in Waze.

As for that little bit by the bridge, Also name that Route 141 Spur. If you look at Street View at that junction, there’s a green street sign that actually says “Route 141 Spur”, so really this is a no brainer.
