Edmonton Belgravia road /71 Ave NW mislabeled

Post by fallingken
On my way to work last week I noticed when NB 113 St to Belgravia road, Waze tells me to turn onto 71 Ave NW. Only problem is 71 Ave NW is not there, the correct turn is onto Belgravia Road. 71 Ave is the service road just to the north of Belgravia Road and not accessible from Belgravia

Hummm looks like google maps has it confusing

all the signage shows Belgravia road instead of 71 ave

Hope this makes sense to the editing crew...

I will have to double check this, because I'm 99% certain that the signage said how it is labelled... At least when I last looked at it.

I remembered, the same thing, erablian.

I checked Streetview, though, and it jives with what fallingken said -- from both south and northbound.

I remember commenting in the past, however, how anomolous that intersection is -- it is where 113 St, 114 St, 71 Ave and 72 Ave meet... and yet it's still a normal + shaped intersection.

Anyhow... I couldn't find anything to disagree with fallingken and have updated it accordingly. If something comes up that it is incorrect, we can change it back. :)

Belgravia doesn’t start until the curve. I also am pretty sure the signs say 71 Ave at the 113 / 114 St / 71 / 72 Ave intersection, or at least it used to.

If it does say Belgravia now, it’s a fairly recent change.

Thanks, just seemed odd and it is confusing with all the roads in the area. I go that way fairly often, and with groat closed, it is one of the common routes for me to go to work so I can look again too.
