I asked for something like that, and was told that there were no funds available! Since it only affected one house, it was deemed to be uneconomic. But I could buy and install my own, at a cost of about £2000, includin g getting permission from the Highways Dept.

Hmm.. our lane leads to a Byway which links to a B road. As such the sat navs are strictly correct in directing traffic here. Can be entertaining to watch the white van delivery driver heading North knowing that he will be back shortly. More entertaining to watch box van drivers realise they might be too tall to squeeze under the 3m by-pass bridge.
There is an existing *unsuitable for motors* sign where the lane leaves the main road. Many years ago, a fed up but enterprising neighbour obtained a *no through road* sign and attached it to the pole. It is still there.
I think sat navs must have improved because it is some years since I have noticed this sort of error.

I agree on the gradual improvement. My own experience shows that finding the right company to complain to eventually leads to success. I was not impressed by TomTom not taking the task on themselves, even though they are happy to sell the devices and information. If I ever buy a SatNav, it will not be a Tom Tom. There was a report in the paper the other day about a visiting American couple who followed the SatNav supplied with their rental car and tried to cross a flooded beach to an island, so there is still room for improvement.

ISTR there is a mechanism for notifying unsuitable routes. Can't remember the details.
