Downgrading the Natchez Trace Parkway
All,
I propose that we downgrade the Natchez Trace Parkway to a primary street. Being a scenic road, it probably is not appropriate to leave it as a minor highway because based on this UR:
https://www.waze.com/editor/?zoom=5&lat ... 25&env=usa , and my own observation when getting directions from my home in NW MS to Columbus, Starkville, etc., in that general direction, Waze keeps adding it as a route choice.
It is really not intended to be used as a through route, save for someone who is wanting to make a scenic drive, the UR I linked to is proof that the locals certainly don't like getting it as a choice all the time. Also, being closed to commercial traffic we don't want an unsuspecting truck driver who does not know about the road driving out of the way to use this route, only to have to seek an alternative.
Comments?
