Level 3 - Eatontown, NJ - mapcat bowtie?

Post by tpmcguire
This UR is due to a U-turn being illegal but possible due to the layout of the roads in the WME.

If you look at the satellite image, only the traffic headed North/East is allowed to make a left turn off the highway, but no U-turn. Would this be a candidate for a mapcat bowtie? If so...who's up for it?

In my opinion, the left turn ramp is not needed. Any objections to me deleting it? It should not be a ramp type anyhow.
I've changed it from a ramp type. It's need to prevent the client from giving a U-Turn as a direction.

Point A of the ramp is not connected to the highway, and it needs a level 5 now to connect it.

To clarify, do you want the U-Turn allowed or not allowed? I haven't been through that intersection lately. I think these: https://www.waze.com/editor/?zoom=8&lat ... 3,31873054 do allow for a U-turn, but these: https://www.waze.com/editor/?zoom=8&lat ... 4,31887878 do not.

No u-turn is allowed in either direction. Since the roadway is so wide, maybe just make a left turn lane like this:

someone above said since the median is so wide a bowtie looks funny in the client.

I am not sure if this is right but I made it a "ramp" and named it "to Monmouth Rd. (SR-71)"
Just connect the "A" junction and enable the turn at "A"
Enable the Left Turn to go north onto Monmouth Rd. at "B".
Make the highway straight again.
Ramp connected, road re-straightened. Now a level 5 needs to allow this segment to connect with the next: https://www.waze.com/editor/?zoom=8&lat ... s=31901639

Wouldnt you want to eliminate this segment and connect the ramp to point B? Also the southbound direction of travel is disabled for SR-71 on this segment.

He pasted a link with a # stuck in the middle. Take that out and it works fine.

(I don't like the look of that "bowtie." Not sure what the purpose of that layout is. Never seen anything like it.
the editor who made that bow tie said any segments less than 10m should suppress the U-Turn.

Originally I requested a mapcat bowtie due to these segments allowing a u-turn from Route 36 Eastbound to Route 36 Westbound by making the left hand u-turn.
