What about gated roads that SOME can get through?

I live at the gold star location below, in a neighborhood with one gate at the bottom of our hill, to prevent randoms from cutting through.  Google Maps correctly blocks this as an available route - but for me the gate doesn't matter, and sometimes (like right now) that tries to force me out onto the highway, in Friday afternoon traffic jams. 

 

How about letting an individual GMaps user mark certain obstacles as "ignore" or something?  Like, people in our neighborhood could say "That gate doesn't affect me"?  It would be a nifty superpower.

Hi @VijayDesai - thanks for the welcome. I will look through the newbie info at bottom.  (I've been on forums since 1989, sysop on many, so I understand community and I hope not to screw up...:-) )

 

What do you mean by referring me to @GeorgesHR for the issue?  Did I post in the wrong place?  

 

FWIW I did search for "gated" before posting...

Hi @Dave_deBronkart

 

I have referred to you to Google Moderator for the solution of your issue road/gate on map and nothing else.

 

You may be right that you must be with the Google Maps from 1989 but as far Local Guide Connect is concern, you are register here on August 7th 2018, with this Login ID and hence I welcomed you.

 

I hope now things are clear.

Yes, of course things are clear - I hope I didn't sound ungrateful.  Thanks again for the welcome. (I haven't been on THESE forums since 1989, of course! 🙂

 

I have reviewed the program rules and the core values. Thanks for the tips.  It might be good someday if the system can pop up that advice when someone is new!

 

I'm sure you have provided enormous amounts of service to the community to reach level 9!  (And now, since this has drifted way off the thread subject, I'll stop...)

Hey @Dave_deBronkart,

 

I understand what you are referring to, but Connect is not the correct place to suggest this.

 

Google Maps, has its official help forum, where Google Maps users are welcome to give their suggestions and feedback. You can visit the Google Maps forum here - Google Maps & Earth Help Forum.
