Speed limits in car parks
Hi all,
This is probably best for an Australia forum, but a problem I've noted in recent months in NSW is new editors adding every single lane in car parking lots (clearly against best practice Wiki (https://wiki.waze.com/wiki/Best_map_edi ... rking_Lots)), but also adding speed limits to these parking lot roads.
I am pointing out the issue with adding all the parking lot roads to them, but do we have a directive on speed limits? It seems to be that a nominal 10-20km/h speed is placed on these roads by the editors. Perhaps these are suggested by the car park owners, sometimes not.
My recommendation is to remove these speed limits altogether, as they are not legally binding. Having a 10km/h speed limit in a car park merely annoys drivers because of the constant noise from Waze warning of being over the speed limit, when the problem is usually poor GPS lock & inability for the GPS to monitor speed accurately at low velocity.
Anyone game to come up with a consensus statement?
