Level4→L3 Unlock: Greater London - Heathrow (Newport Rd,Newb

Post by AndyPot2
My Level: 3
Reason for request: Roundabout broken.

UR indicating that navigation broken between roundabout and M4 slip road (currently 2.5 miles instead of 200 yards).

This roundabout has only recently been created (it used to be a series of KL/KR's which seemed to work well). I will try to get hold of last editor but 2nd opinion please as none of the approaches indicate a roundabout and several of the exits are marked as a natural continuation of the road ie you have to turn off road to stay on roundabout. The final problem is do you count the exit to the 'West Ramp Coach Park' (north east side of roundabout) as an exit from the roundabout, at the moment it is disconnected so not counted. I guess this is one that will split opinions. :roll:

I notice the roundabout has segment names, is this enough to break navigation, I know it might give confusing directions but would hope it wouldn't cause routing to fail.

I absolutely agree that it shouldn't be a roundabout; much less with a road name on it! :roll: I was round her a few months ago and, as I recall, the directions without a roundabout were fine.

Putting a road name on a roundabout doesn't break routing. It does, however, make a mess of the instructions. As you know, you can have up to 3 instructions as you approach a roundabout depending on distance and speed. When a roundabout is named, some of them change from roundabout instructions to "turn" instructions and, as far as I remember, the on-screen instructions in the app don't match what the TTS says.

I count 3 missing or disconnected entrances/exits, including the West Ramp Coach Park. They should all be present and correctly connected: as PLRs, they will prevent unnecessary jams caused by any Waze users who take those roads. And, of course, if the whole junction isn't a roundabout, there can be no possible confusion/argument about exit count because there will be no exit counts.

All down to 3 - let me know when you're done. :mrgreen:
