Can you review and reroute the routes to the 3 address at the bottom? Judging by the license plates we have drivers from KY, GA, TN, FL all going to tournaments at the addresses below. Instead of using the main roads which are better marked, less stops, and less turns, they are cutting thru the neighborhood.
Neighborhood Route \>\>\>\> North Cahaba Dr -\>Nazha Ln \> East St
4 Stop Signs and most roads aren’t painted and are narrow for 2 cars to ‘share’ the narrow road.
Main Roads \>\>\>\> W Green Valley \> White Oak Dr -\> East St
2 Stop Signs and all roads are painted and marked and wide enough for 2 cars for the whole route.
This route even has city signs with arrows giving directions to the parks.
People seeking directions could be typing in any of the 3 options below.
They are all at the end of East St where its a gated entrance.
[b]Rathmell Sports Park
3577 East St,
Birmingham, AL 35243
Mountain Brook Public Works
3579 East St,
Mountain Brook, AL 35243
Birmingham United Soccer Association
3576 East St,
Vestavia Hills, AL 35243 [/b]
Thank you for your help

Hi Brian, it’s probably easier to take each of these one at a time. I reviewed the first, Rathmell Sports Park. I only see one way to the park and it’s via East Street (which looks like neighborhood routing).
Are there streets missing on the waze map?

After looking at the other two addresses, I see they are all the location basically. so please see my question directly above. Basically, it looks like according to the waze map, there is only one way in to those three destinations.

I made some changes that should correct the situation. However, they won’t become effective until the map updates, i.e. not today. I will check on it after the update. I’m sorry we can’t help today.
