How to draw a cross road underneath an elevated road without cutting it. This tip can be followed to draw road crossing through flyover, road crossing over tunnel, underpass, over bridge, pedestrian over bridge etc.
@Sisakumar, the way of adding underneath the road is correct. But the road you have added as underneath on the map is completely wrong. There is no underneath road here. What you are thinking of as the underneath road is actually the joints on the bridge.
Fully agree with you @NareshDarji
While the process [also shared by me long time ago] shared in the video is indeed correct, what is visible in there is a joint.
Yamuna Marginal Bandh Marg is in that part an elevated road. Expansion joints are a fundamental structural element of bridges, and are used to absorb thermal expansion and prevent the road from collapsing with temperature variations related to the climate. They are generally marked to warn drivers that vehicles passing over them may have jolts.
With a zoom out we can clearly see these joints, as in the screenshot below where I have highlighted them in green. I have indicated in red the one where you added the road, @Sisakumar
Of course, it is possible that there are connections between the two roads that pass under the bridge, especially to allow a U-turn from one road to the other, but there is no evidence of this in the satellite images, so this type of edit should not be done.
How can you evaluate someone without studying his profile? How can you state my edit is wrong? Do you visit the site? You did nothing but zoomed in to satellite images, which providing only the bird eye images. Look at the real site photo and evaluate . Thanks.
You are talking about the joints of precast posttensioned segmental bridge spans. Of course you are right to some extent. Some of them are span joints, but one of them is a destination board and the other is a speed radar camera pole. The elevated road has not been opened for public use yet. So you cannot see any traffic on the elevated road in Google satellite images. But it does not mean that there is no road traffic there. There is traffic on the road below this elevated road.
An actual site photo is here for your reference. Please note the cross road/U-turn on it. Also, please note the width of the elevated road and the local road below and the traffic on it.
The local road and its cross roads are below the elevated road, how can it be seen on satellite images? Here below this elevated road, many road crossings marked on Google Map have been closed and many U turns have been made in place of that crossing. None of them will be visible in your satellite view, because it’s under the elevated road. I am not pushing you to agree with me. You can use your own sources to verify and correct errors caused by traffic re-design.
Dear @ErmesT , I am using this road and not just editing it by sitting in my AC room. Like you, I also know that this is an international social community. I know very well how to maintain its dignity. HERE I AM A REAL LOCAL GUIDE, because I am a local here and commute daily. I don’t care about approval or disapproval. I did what I had to do as LG.
@Sisakumar
Thank you for the details.
If you read my whole reply at the end I said
This is because Maps uses the Satellite Images to confirm or deny your edit.
So it will be very difficult to have that edit approved.
There are other ways to have that kind of roads added, through a direct action by the Local authorities.
So honestly I believe you should have used a better example for your videos, using two very well visible intersecting roads.
Unfortunately this will not help you to have that U-turn approved.
Unfortunately many Local administrations, first of all in my own country, are very negligent on this, others we will have Google Maps improved on really time and without errors
WOW! That’s wonderful. Thank you for the visual explanation how to add a hidden road underneath an elevated road. I will remember that next time I try to add a road on Maps. Thank you so much @Sisakumar for tagging me here.
