An alley should only be mapped if it is a locally accepted parking destination near a residence. It should function only as the starting point or destination of a route.


All alleys should have their road type set to {{Parking Lot Road|Parking Lot Road}} and should be named "Alley".  MN state law for alley speed limit is 10mph unless otherwise posted, and should be set as such.

Alleys

Alleys are driveable roads passing between or behind buildings and are not intended for thru-traffic. They can be an important component in routing when primary access is not on a local street or drivers start a route from an alley.

All alleys should have their road type set to  Parking Lot Road  and should be named "Alley". MN state law for alley speed limit is 10mph unless otherwise posted, and should be set as such.

Alleys should function only as the starting point or destination of a route. In most areas, it is not legal for thru traffic to use alleys so care should be taken to prevent through traffic routing. The parking lot road type should generally prevent this, but extra steps may need to be taken.

  • Alley-to-alley turn restrictions should typically be restricted so that a person is not routed through several blocks of alleyways to get to the start or end point.
  • In cases where a residential alley connects to a business parking lot, additional steps may be needed to prevent business traffic from being routed through the residential alley. These situations need to be dealt with on a case by case basis. If assistance is needed to set this up, please seek help of an appropriate manager.
