Few Qs. Servos. Local Traffic streets

Post by groovykyle
Evening all.

1. I was hunting around checking validation and incomplete places,
noticed that there isn't a Costco listing in the petrol stations Brand category.
Is someone able to add that/make the request or point me where to ask?

2. I was wondering whether there's a way to stop waze routing along local traffic only streets?
There's one in my area that it keeps trying to route. All I can see is applying a 24/7 time restriction with a note in the description, which I presume the waze server would ignore anyway. Alternative downgrading the street to a private road or something as a workaround. Has this been discussed before? I haven't found anything searching here or on the wiki.

There was something else but it's slipped my mind. anyway.

Cheers
Kyle

Costco: Being a member or not is a silly reason. Yes you have to be a member but it is a legitimate brand and generally a lot cheaper and quicker :). I would suggest people review this decision. Just place a note in the field that it is member only.

Thanks for the detours link, I'll take look

The reason that Costco wasn't added was due to it been member only.

I thought that anyone could fill up at the Costco servos, but you had to be a member to get the discount? I could be wrong though as that's just what I have thought to have heard. (Personally I'm still waiting for the new Moorabbin Airport Costco to be built so Melbourne gets it's first Costco Servo!)

Marking local streets as Private would have a detrimental effect to 'locals' who use them to get to their street marked as a street just the next one over. I don't recommend it.
