What does this mean on Google Maps?
(lemmy.ml)
My best guess is it's a busy road so it's dangerous and not really meant for bicycle and walking. I've done 13 miles yesterday to get a comic book on a bike and this right here is the distance between my house and a friend's house I told I can come on bike because what I just did gave me a feeling I could do it but my ass hurts so not right now. But yeah I want to see how this would play out. Before I would walk but I took a bike to a comic book store because it would've closed if I walk and I ended up getting there in time. Took longer than expected something that should've been an hour probably took 2 or 3 hours. So yeah I can do half of that for sure.
I've seen that same warning for walking. I think it's just Google saying "good luck with that; we're not legally responsible". I think those warnings have shown up more since cars would follow the GPS with zero common sense and drive into a lake or something.
Good point. It does read like a liability disclaimer.
I've noticed that Google doesn't always get the speed limit correct on more rural roads.
Or it can't tell if a temporary, lowered speed sign has been posted in a construction zone, for example.
Or as I've seen when they have got the lowered speed because of roadworks, but then keep the low speed after everything is finished. No, I think I can drive faster than 50kmh on the motorway.
I encountered a couple of highways recently in Illinois recently where they clearly set the speed limit to the highway number (highways 30 and 40 by memory)
Dwight did try to warn him…🤷♀️
The warning makes sense when you consider gmaps randomly tells you to ride into the traffic on major highways.
I've never had that one happen and, until recently, that was the only navigational aid I had. It's still the only one I use on my motorbike.
