 |
|
Any suggestions on how to devide a road in two? I know of a very long road blocked half way with bollards. However, TT has always shown it as a though route. If you come in the wrong end to discover the house you require is the other side of the bollards it is quite some drive around town to the other end. I have tried putting a no entry correction just where the bollards are, but TT states to select a section of the road and will not make a single point no entry with no road section selected. I do not want to select a section of the road as all sections are two way!

It's not possible to change a road like this yourself - you can only change some attributes of existing sections.
The best you can really do is to inform TomTom via MapShare or Teleatlas via their Insight webpage (they provide map data to TomTom) and hope that it appears in a future map version. I would suggest breaking the section into 3 having a small section (even a metre will do) that is not accessible to traffic in either direction but OK for walking/cycling. I can't promise anything will happen though.

You can only block a section of road, not a sigle point on a road.
Sometimes the road will be split up so that there is a convenient short section where the bollards are that can be blocked.
If you post the details of the location someone may be able to offer a solution.

Thank you both for your help. I will need to revisit the road which is Hunter Drive Bletchley Milton Keynes on Monday to get the exact location of the bollards. I may then select a tiny section of the road making it no entry either way as suggested. Once again thank you.

Google Earth appears to show bollards across Hunter Drive at N51.9879, W0.729666, with "Keep Clear" signs either side.
If this is the right location you can select a stretch between two side turnings of about 70 yards to block.

Just tried that myself and it works. However, it proves that TomTom software is very odd!
I tried the Bletchley bit to see how it compared with a change I want to make on a local road.
In Bletchley, a tap on the section to block highlights the whole of Hunters Drive on the map, but after selecting 'Block Road' in the change menu only the part between the two sideroads is highlighted.
On my local road clicking on the bit to make one way again highlights all the road with that name ( Which is what I want ), but after going to the 'Block Road' page the road is highlighted to the next junction which includes part of a different road that makes an end-on junction with the one I want! If a junction counts as an end-node for editing purposes, the point where a road changes name should count as well. Shouldn't it?  |

I would have expected a change of name to count as a different node. Can you post the location so that we can look at it?
