You should visit with your local leadership to see what the guidelines are for your country.world_fce9uvbd wrote:Where is a guide about Narrow Street?delilush wrote:Mod edit - there's no need to quote the whole first post
TL;DR: It depends.yanderuelle wrote:Hi,
In France, but I guess in other countries with mountains, we do have some Primarys or Minors that are very narrow (though two opposite ways) and where for a fair distance, it is not possible to cross another car in the opposite direction (the segment becomes a one car-width road). Often with rocks on one side and a cliff on the other side.
Many pictures available here from different similar roads
Would you recommend using the Narrow type that would be connected to Primarys or Minor in both ends ?

Do we have an ETA on the routing server update? Will it be available to RBS users shortly?delilush wrote:How does it work in routing?
* Alleys are not implemented in production routing server yet
Until alleys are implemented in production routing server, they should function like regular street segments.
* When alleys will go live in production routing server, they will have a penalty for private cars and taxis. The exact value for the penalty hasn't been finalized yet, we're going to run some tests to determine this. The value will likely range between 5-10 minutes. There will not be a penalty for motorcycles.
Just as an counterpoint to the "all the traffic will go via the alley" stance. Don't forget that Waze typically will detour around the traffic around jams far ahead of actually reaching the site of the jam. This is especially true in downtowns where city grids allow plenty of options.yaacobyy wrote:The streets act according to the Communicating Vessels low. In the example given above when both Eastern Ave and Fleet St. are jammed, and so are all streets around the area (not yet a gridlock), then comes the moment when the time saved by passing through the alley becomes higher than the threshold. At that moment, all wazers that are heading to the west will be given a route through the alley. The first ones that will arrive will "win", but all the rest will be very disappointed.Glodenox wrote:The example above seems wrong to me. The traffic would be routed to Fleet street instead, as the penalty for that will be much lower. Only when there is a complete gridlock, some of the traffic may be routed through the alley, though I suspect taking those turns will also result in some penalties.
If we don't want that to happen at any time, then the threshold should be very high (1 hr.) for cars (and then what's the difference between this and a TBR that restricts cars and taxis?), or don't use this type at all. Of course it can be used where the percentage of wazers is something like 1%. In this latter case, the 1% of the drivers will get the new route and will save the time difference.
