Best reason to be careful

Post by rottielover
Just got this UR:

Description: ridiculous confusing unnecessary directions
Reported on: yesterday
Lets see if this pic works:

This is why we don't split roads that don't need it, and why we don't map every lane of a parking lot (I had already started cleaning up when I thought to take a screenshot and share.

This area is going to take me a good bit of time to clean up.

Best reason to be careful

Post by jmp316
I don't mind mapping parking lots (I've started to do a lot of them around me) as long as they're done correctly. They should clearly marked as parking lot roads and all turn restrictions marked correctly. I believe this cuts down on invalid traffic jam reports (which does help routing). It's hard to see what's really wrong in that picture without knowing the turn restrictions. Looks like that road doesn't need to be split. Hope you can fix that area...

Wow, not good. Thanks for cleaning that up...

Your pic does not highlight the route, so maybe it looked worse than what we see here. That PLot seems to have an appropriate number of lanes mapped for that area.

I sent the user who did it a long PM from me.
