Waze routing via "walking trail"

Hi,

There was an UR adjacent to the permalinked segment below, which showed that Waze had routed a driver from Prior Deram Walk to the A45 southbound, via a segment noted as a walking trail - in this case an underpass!

I’ve temporarily removed a piece of the walking trail, but left most of it in place so that it can be seen for the moment.

I’ve always been a little uneasy about editors connecting such things to the road network, and have avoided doing so myself, but I didn’t expect that this would happen!

Will.

There’s a hard and fast rule about never connecting anything that’s non-drivable to the road network. Walking trails, stairways, pedestrian boardwalks, railroads, etc. If they’re connected, they can be routed on.

Right, thanks for that, I’ll be sure to keep more of a lookout for such things…

Regards,
Will.
