We delete them here in CT too.jasonh300 wrote:I delete them and lock the freeway. Freeways are supposed to be locked at a high level anyway, and no experienced editor should be putting those in, so the lock should keep it from coming back.PhantomBlack wrote:I think this is a good time to go over the freeways in the area. People like to add all the little connectors between the two directions that are for police and service vehicles. Not sure if I should delete them or change to parking lot. If I delete them they will just pop back up as a street or something.

And is about to become irrelevant as the type is going away.WeeeZer14 wrote:Unnamed parking lot road is the preference of most. That will surpress traffic jam reporting if someone goes slow through there.
Also, service road is NOT an alley. It is a road which is parallel to a highway or major road that lets you get to businesses and residences that face the major road. This point admittedly isn't very clear to many.
Those types of roads should be Primary or Minor. The whole "frontage road" bit was really bad and was likely meant for utility and repair access, not the 55+ mph parallel roads that act as secondary routes and mid-exit access to business and side streets.AggieJM wrote:So if they become "Street" will this break longer distance routing where a service road is used between the exit from one freeway and the entrance to another? I know it's an issue with Service Road right now, but it seems the fix would be to allow Service Roads in long distance routing. But if they all become street, then there will be no way around this.

Parking Lot is usually what I mark them as, just because they don't report jams and the remote possibility of the *HP running Waze. The other reasonable choice is Private since they are supposedly for emergency/maintenance/police and are not public roads.PhantomBlack wrote:I think this is a good time to go over the freeways in the area.

But this means they will be used for directions, which means that Waze will tell you to take a shortcut through the ex-service road if the main road is busy.
Looks like a bad 'improvement" to me.

If a road truly should not be used for routing, it is best to make it a private road or possibly a parking lot road.

What???? We have used this road type extensively in México with great success... What is going to happen to all the roads that are classified as Service Roads and what will be the new way of handling them?bgodette wrote:And is about to become irrelevant as the type is going away.WeeeZer14 wrote:Unnamed parking lot road is the preference of most.
