Typically, instead of asking the local paper to notify readers that

facts: "the C123 will be closed from its junction with the U456 to
its
junction with the U987".

If you type into GoogleEarths search box c123 it will find the road and
zoom into to it.

Only if you're lucky. Unlike A and B roads, C road numbers are under the
control of local authorities; there may be multiple instances of C123 or
whatever. None of the C roads I know of show up on Google maps or
Streetview.


This is a BOAT and it is on Streetmap.

C123 and U456 quoted by the OP are just imaginary examples to illustrate his
point. Your picture on twimg, (GridRef TF153856) may well be a C or U road
in your Hull area, but is completely irrelevant to this thread. And the
marking is not a BOAT (Byway Open To All Traffic) but just "Other route with
public access".

Are you paying £55 pounds per annum for the OS to allow you to make their
maps public? According to their terms and conditions, they won't even let
you email copies of their printed maps!
