It's not a peril if it helps fix a problem, even if you're humbled a bit in the process by not fully understanding all aspects of routing like the Champs and CMs do ;-)

The "ramps" are actually part of a "Michigan Left" exception initially developed and tweaked by sketch, with full knowledge during the process of our RC, GizmoGuy, who also helped tweak the Michigan wiki page for it. It is well-implemented throughout the state, and here is some documentation that was drafted. The two segments are locked at 5 now, but looking it over, the angles entering the "ramp" segments are no longer sharp enough to generate the "turn left" instructions and should at least be micro dog-legged back. The right turns onto the main road for access to the Michigan Left median u-turns from the two different parking lot roads are both legal as well, so I think that that is why the u-turns were so far forward to begin with. It is no longer possible to get to the u-turns from the parking lots, but that's probably minor compared to the amount of traffic being served on the main road. This is obviously the more contentious part...but the at-grade connectors should be changed back as well to meet the "Michigan Left" requirements.

Thanks daknife for taking care of this, and especially for being willing to tolerate the Michigan at-grade exception.

It's that stretch of I-275 where motorized traffic is forbidden... Now if only we could get the shield to display properly on 275 itself :)

Reply to problem: Sorry, there is not an actual map issue. I was just trying to figure out the "map issue function."

Succeeded!

Who or What is a "Manuel Arechar"?
His name is Manuel Arechar. He is a native spanish speaker, and his Waze language is set accordingly. He received a long UR response in English, which he doesn't know well enough to respond. He is trying to report for jury duty in Los Hurd. Either that, or you made him upset and he is insulting you according to "hurd" at urbandictionary.com.

His wife happened to be following up. She's half Swedish and half ancient Roman. I think the "djembe" is due to autocorrect and she probably doesn't know Swahili...

Problem: the directions brought us 2 miles short of tree tops

Those must be some really tall trees!

EDIT: There is actually a resort area nearby that I found named "Treetops". How disappointing...

I seem to have misplaced a road. Can anyone help me find it? It's about a quarter mile long with addresses. Oh, and it has a name. That should help narrow it down.
