How to indicate skatepark is below overhead ramps?

I want to fix the features around the Lynch Family Skatepark and I’m not sure what to do.

Although I’m aware that Organic Maps is a different project, it uses OSM. When I tried to use vehicle directions to go to the skatepark, it directed me to drive along US Route 1 and incorrectly declared that I arrived at the skatepark in the middle of the overhead ramps in the North Point part of Cambridge, MA.

However, if I use the directions for cycling, then Organic Maps correctly tells me to bike onto Education Way to get to the skatepark.

Can you post some sample screenshots of your route simulations. The ones I tried take different departure points than where the pin is places even when smack in the middle of the motorway, but that could be because there is layering of ways going SE and above going NW. Anyway this is with car using GraphHopper as router.

are there any footways/roads/cycleways leading into Way: ‪Lynch Family Skatepark‬ (‪571119329‬) | OpenStreetMap ?

mapping them may provide missing data, though many routers are not smart enough to use that

likely because bicycle router completely ignores motorways

sounds like bug in Organic Maps and should be reported as bug on their issue tracker (if not reported already) - and linking this thread in report would be probably useful

routing to POI should never end on motorway, as on motorway by definition you cannot stop and leave your car

so even if POI is below/above/between motorway carriageway it never makes sense to end routing there

(this is tricky as user may route to a specific point on a motorway, in such case it is fine and preferable to route to that point without attempt to leave motorway - also, routing to motorway junction or other motorway-attached object should not cause router to try leaving motorway)
