Hi,

To be clear, the edit to the map is from observing how traffic uses the Rochford Corner junction (I'm local to the area) and observing that almost all the traffic continues to Whitehouse Road and very little continues south.

The council have classified these roads poorly compared to their actual usage. Are you suggesting I should ask the council to re-classify these roads? I doubt they have any incentive to change road classification.

Hi, the A1015 continues down Rayleigh Road here, but this is no longer the main route used by traffic. Out of 15,000 cars going along Rayleigh Road, 13,000 continue along Whitehouse Road (according to https://www.google.com/fusiontables/DataSource?docid=17kjyGeMlh5qOb0UD3a2VwaxD173Cjssy61SDQ_Y#map:id=3 ). In this change, I also made Whitehouse Road and Nestuda Way (officially a B-road, but actually a large dual carriageway). My feeling is that this makes the map more useful by showing the wider, more useful and more popular roads as the primary route.
