This is called "The White Bridge" and it is now fully open to motor traffic. You can search online to see this but we rode over it today. Please adjust so that open map based sat navs will use it.

This set of steps allows motor traffic to route up it on open map based sat navs!

This junction is wrong. See https://www.google.com/maps/@51.6119991,-3.4098023,3a,75y,302.13h,90t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1sev11k6WhxKmX-uuo__YI3g!2e0!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthumbnail%3Fcb_client%3Dmaps_sv.tactile%26w%3D900%26h%3D600%26pitch%3D0%26panoid%3Dev11k6WhxKmX-uuo__YI3g%26yaw%3D302.1349754588122!7i16384!8i8192?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI1MDQxMy4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D
When heading NNW on the A4058 sat navs will route a R turn but this junction is no right turn. You have to continue to the roundabout and come back heading SSE and make a L onto the B4278 on a slip road that isn't shown on your map.

Tinker's Lake access road from A38 extends to where I've put the marker. See FMS for confirmation.

The lane just to the W ends exactly where I've put the marker, it does not connect to the A38 and there is not a tunnel under to connect to the Tinker's Lake access road either. FMS correctly maps this street and Street View clearly shows the A38 barriers are unbroken.

This double bend is entered incorrectly. See FMS USRN: 5700565 or OS 1:25000 for the correct route but from the ford it continues E to just inside the tree line, then turns to the S just inside the trees, following the edge of the tree line S and then veering SE to rejoin the mapped route. Verified by me in person and my GPS track. The rest of the road to the E appears to be spot on but my GPS track indicates that the road is very slightly too far N in the western section, although I was forced away from the hedge by overhanging trees. It should be immediately S of the hedge line. This is a road BTW, legal for all motor traffic. However, it needs putting on in a way that won't have sat navs sending people down it in cars and delivery vans! It is just grass and stone so completely unsuitable for normal traffic. I can supply the GPS track and a photo showing the track running straight through the ford and through the wood to the far side if required.

Please amend this cut through to remove any public right of way, particularly for motor vehicles. It is a completely private road and your mapping is allowing sat navs to route through it illegally. Search USRN USRN: 36607928 on findmystreet.co.uk to see that it's not a street, https://www.streetmap.co.uk/map?x=364500&y=127500&z=120&sv=woolston&st=3&tl=Map+of+Woolston,+Somerset+[City/Town/Village]&searchp=ids&mapp=map to see it's not a PROW.

At this point there is a locked gate because the 'roads' to NW and SW are both Footpaths and not legal for motor traffic. My open map based sat nav routed me through this illegal and impassable route today. Please correct the permissions on these 2 stretches of lane to correct this. Submitted on behalf of the Trail Riders Fellowship.

Back Lane is a Restricted Byway so not legal for through motor traffic. Please adjust the permissions as my open map based sat nav tried to route me up it today. Luckily I noticed the sign and understood what it meant and avoided breaking the law. North Croft (the E end of the same lane) is not a RB and is legal for motor traffic, as is the Byway Open To All Traffic heading N (brown dot/dash line). Where that meets Back Lane/North Croft is where the RB ends.
