Level 4 - Street unlock request & potential Narrow Street classification

Post by AutoUnder
Hi Editors,

I would like to be able to edit the following segments.
Your help will be greatly appreciated.

Reason: In order to connect up Simpson Street
Unlock to level: 2

Also, Simpson Street is used for access to St. Mary's car park but it is extremely narrow; some cars do use it but I highly doubt that most drivers would want to use it with the main entrance being significantly easier to access. In my opinion, Simpson Street would be best assigned with the Narrow Street classification. I know they are only used in very exceptional circumstances but setting it as a Parking Road would almost certainly route everyone down their with it being closer to Ring Way which I don't think would be suitable; setting it as a Private Road would penalise everyone including motorcyclist who would find it convenient and with it being a named road, having it not their at all is not an option.

Obviously I'm just giving my opinion on what I think is best for this scenario so I'll let a more experienced Editor make the final decision on this matter. In the meantime, I've classed Simpson Street as Private Road.

Thank you in advance,

Haha it's fine don't worry, thank you anyway :)

Also thanks for making the decision on road classification. It's a very grey area when it comes to roads like this; I think the main issue is that there is no preference option for each individual user on if they want to use roads like this or not, that's of course why I asked for a second opinion

Hi Auto,
Sorry I connected it before I realised you requested the downlock.
So my opinion on the narrowness  8-)  We don't use Narrow Street in the UK.  Personally I would be disappointed if Waze didn't direct me down here to the car park if it was the quickest route.  A Transit van or a nervous driver mightn't but we can't account for everyone....  Yes its very narrow, but its a classified street, with no restrictions and double yellows and the GSV car happily drove down there.  There is a big sign at the end for the car park, so I assume there is an expectation that people will use it to access the car park.  So I would map it as a Street myself
