For the last one, I used 'road to railroad' and stuck in a landmark 'OTHER' with the description 3:40 train daily M-F"
Will see if that generates any interesting comments.
:)
Most of the rest went 'unidentified'.

Sent information to local police department, marked as Solved.
From the looks of the cars parked along that roadway, it appears to be incorrectly marked as ONE-WAY. Either that or the cars on the right all did a 180 before they parked.

The gray car just to the right of the report baloon is clearly 'northbound' as is the gray pick truck, 4th car north of the 'B' balloon. Many others on the right look like they are parked 'against' the 'one way' arrows.

Thanks for the backup, but I think I covered that point pretty well about five posts above yours. ;) :lol:
Yes, I see that now.... or to be more precise, I could see that a few moments ago, before I logged out and back in. Now, I don't see ANY messages separating mine and your latest reply, just as I didn't see YOUR message when I posted mine. The message I quoted was almost the last message in the queue (there was ONE other but it had nothing to do with a response to the message to which I responded.)

Something very strange going on with the way I see the stuff arranged.

Street view of the street they turned right from. I also went up and down the street in street view and all of the side streets (and cars) are one-way south. I do see a yellow line in the Bling aerial, I wonder if this street changed directionality in the last few years.
a second good reason NOT to use google.

The FIRST reason is:

TURN ON GPS. You will see traffic passing both directions!

new collection of messages from lost souls:
Type: General error
Description: lake not at correct location
Reported on: October 06
There was no lake in the editor but one did show in the live-map. Must be on a layer I can't see or edit in the editor

Type: General error
Description: my car keeps spinning round and round and I end up driving backwards and then forward
Reported on: September 25

maybe sometimes you need to NOT drink and drive? Certainly avoid abrupt changes in driving direction.
I think the next was from the same person, obviously (to me) having problems with his GPS.
Type: General error
Description: turning me around
Reported on: September 25
next, NOT a map problem:
Type: General error
Description: traffic jam on the wrong side
Reported on: October 17
If I am driving and the traffic jam is on MY side, I consider it to be on the wrong side!

I don't know how to report accidents/hazards/jams in the other direction on divided highway.
It would be nice if there was a WAZE to do that.
Type: General error
Description: map says to turn but voice directions never mention the turn onto grand central
Reported on: October 22
I have had some WRONG verbal directions also (told me to turn left when a right turn was proper and shown on the screen.) Maybe last update on client fixed.
Type: Wrong driving direction
Description: 925 Spur 10 is the real address for the Rosenberg Parole Office
Reported on: October 07

I guess his fellow parolees NEED to know that. Since I have no idea where it is, (the balloon was in the middle of no where). I can't help them.
Type: Missing bridge overpass
Description: Lynchburg Ferry
Reported on: September 29
The gps track showed the Ferry Route. Not sure what I am suppose to do with it. Guess I could put in a railroad track there.

Two 'related' error reports and the area where I found them:
Type: General error
Description: this neighborhood is about .25 mile east from what it should be.
Reported on: October 31

Type: General error
Description: this neighborhood is about .25 mile WEST if where it should be.
Reported on: October 31

The roads were displaced from the satellite view so I cleaned up the area.
Type: Wrong driving direction
Description: follow me!
Reported on: August 06
But I don't know where you are going!

Description: need gas
Reported on: October 03
I get the impression some people think they are chatting with someone.
Perhaps they have been doing so and hit the wrong 'buttons' and end up posting a map problem rather than sending to their friend.

Since I never use the chat feature, I am not sure how easy it is to make that mistake.
Perhaps the client needs a bit of re-design to make it more difficult.

Of course, that would take some of the fun out of editing.
