    This seems to be a problem with the OSM map. If I change the standard map from OSM to Here or Tomtom, the route works as expected. However, changing from OSM to Here/Tomtom is only possible in the Gold version.

      As @Mopetenpit said, the Here maps seems to work fine, so presume it's an issue with OSM

        I don't think it's because of the OSM data.

        There are two potential limitations: A railway barrier and a U-turn restriction, but neither should prevent a left turn:

        Other planning programmes based on OSM allow this:

        This is probably due to the route engine (API) MRA uses.

          Thanks all for the quick replies. A map problem was my conclusion, too. I've made that left turn many times and there are no restrictions.

          Is there a means to report this problem? In the past I've done so with Garmin's maps.

              What exactly do you mean by that?

                OSM provides for problem reporting and map fixes. I made this note:

                  I know. But what exactly causes the problem, in your opinion, and what should be changed or corrected?
                  As mentioned above, other planners based on OSM allow a left turn, so it's not an OSM Map issue. Do you disagree?

                    From what I read in the earlier posts the HERE and TomTom maps route correctly when selected. So does the Garmin City Navigator North America NT 2025.2 map on my Zumo XT. I think it is a problem with the OSM map but I have no idea how one would fix it.

                      I have taken a closer look at this spot.

                      The issue is probably caused by an extra barrier:lift_gate entry in addition to the railway:level_crossing. In my opinion, this is wrong.

                      I've added this to your comment, let's see if a mapper with local knowledge makes a change there.

                        Thank you, @Martin-Wilcke . I was contemplating learning more about OSM editing but it is very complex and I wouldn't want to make things worse.

                          I also thought it odd that there were signals shown in only three of the four corners but, then again, I don't understand the mapping "language."

                            Here is an overview of all valid keys, their values, meaning and examples:

                            https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Map_features

                            Search for railway:level_crossing and barrier:lift_gate; these are the key types related to this issue.

                            It is worth familiarising yourself with the different categories because there is an extra bonus: you can search for OSM POIs in a given area, export them as GPX and import them into MRA. This way, you can create your own POI libraries in MRA. We have discussed an example ("castles in the UK") here:

                              According to Google Street View, there is a railway crossing with two half barrier arms but no extra lift gate (this is the mapping error):

                              OSM-3.jpg

                              So, I recommend making the following changes (for both directions):

                              • Delete the lift gate barrier:

                              OSM-4.jpg

                              Add the "two-half barrier arm" attribute to the railway crossing:

                              OSM-5.jpg

                                Thank you, @Martin-Wilcke, I will give it a try. I use that intersection regularly, today in fact.

                                  I made your recommended changes and checked the box asking for a review from an experience mapper, just in case. I also found another intersection about one mile earlier in the route that had a similar condition and revised it. This explains how MRA chose the route it did on my initial try. Thank you again for your guidance. I enjoyed learning about OSM!
