New road type needed between ST to OR
Passive road type
Passive mean the penalties attribute doesn't need to use unpaved option.
And MAY use penalties state similar to PLR
Most of the road actually vehicles worthy but not qualified as Street (ST) or Off-road/Not maintained (OR supposed for 4X4)
Most of it drivable and may be the most important route for local or user that knew the road.
Why this passive RT needed? Majority of user not even know the unpaved switch exists,
so do to differentiate the unpaved segment shown in apps, this creates complexity for the user to use Waze very well.
Even with unpaved allowed, most segment maybe not be the best for user to feel safer which might as well going through brushes or palm estate with no street light etc especially for unfamiliar user to that area.
If disallowed unpave segment will lead to no route toward to destination (please correct me if im wrong)
In Waze there was NO satellite imagery base map for apps, hence it relies independently to the segments we draw. And we MUST draw/design road network as safer as we can for the public. I found numerous similar complaints in gmaps as well
Usually this road will be use by local such near farm/village/rural area etc but does not be use as main route suggested by Waze algorithm.
the criteria MUST fit
- The destination route ended at or near the segment
- It the only segment toward the destination
As for now. I and some local community editors, plus being told that other country communities too, also share the same hope for this to be available to be use as officially instead using PLR to managing routing/UR/complaints issues on said area.
Ignoring this may impacted Waze credibility as a reliable routing apps as proven in my country.
I dunno how to call this road type. I give it to our volunteers community and waze to give it a name.
This is IMPORTANT.
That all.. thanks in advance
