Disable U-turns

[Gabriel]

Hello,
Is it possible to allow u-turns only in local roads for Cyprus?

I don't know in other countries but its a common sense that you are
not allow to make a u-turn in a Primary Highway/Major Roads/Minor/
etc..

Thanks,
Gabriel

Hi Gabriel,
I am not sure if I completely understand this. If you are referring
to the driving directions, I would think that driving directions will
never advise you to take a U-turn on a two-way road. But, it will
definitely give you U-turns where the roads are drawn as two one-ways
as seen in this case:
http://www.google.com/mapmaker?hl=en&saddr=35.097334,33.379442&daddr=35.09729497108316,33.3794903755188&dirflg=&gw=56&ll=35.097848,33.379769&spn=0.003941,0.00854&t=h&z=18

I think that the above link points to an ideal driving direction
routing. Are such U-turns are not allowed ?

such u-turns are not allowed in Cyprus

here is another example.. (not the best)
http://www.google.com/mapmaker?hl=en&saddr=35.154455,33.375124&daddr=35.154657,33.375301&dirflg=&gw=56&ll=35.155039,33.376063&spn=0.002921,0.005965&z=18

where the driver have to make a u-turn in a busy major road

Hi,
Thanks for the example. I agree that the driving direction suggested
in that link might not be accurate. To prevent those U-turns, you will
need to edit the intersection using 'Edit turn restrictions' option
and click on the 'U' symbol to disable the U-turn for the specified
direction as can be seen in the help page here:
http://maps.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=155717

In the case that I had posted earlier, while drawing the roads you can
avoid intersecting the local road with both the sections of the
secondary road. To correct that now, you can delete the following road
section:
http://www.google.com/mapmaker?hl=en&fll=35.098998,33.379614&fr=0.000176,0.000215&mpp=0.488577&gw=39&ll=35.098827,33.380805&spn=0.003941,0.00854&t=h&z=18&iwloc=0_0&fid=1503666915618924247:6873086129727937804

However, it does seem to be a nice feature to have the ability to
easily disable the U-turns for a complete road. Can you please add
that to the Issue tracker ?

Hello,

yes i know that u i can change it by using 'Edit turn restrictions'
What i am asking ( if u can as an administrator ) is to mass change
the u-turns in order to avoid thousand of edits
Thanks,
Gabriel
