Hi, the last few weeks have been weird for my neighbourhood. I’ve encountered many PokéStop removals in the last few days. Yesterday, a Wayspot was accepted and added in-game, but today it was removed again. I don’t understand why, because I’ve nominated countless Wayspots like this before. But thi…

Thanks for the appeal, @YTDieEnePCGast ! We have taken another look but stand by our decision to retire this Wayspot.

Wayspots of those cycle signs are almost guaranteed to be removed by Niantic if they notice them as they have deemed them to be ineligible and standard road infrastructure. The community generally disagrees and approves them. This creates conflict, but as it is Niantic’s game and their ruling is v…

Here is a link to where I asked for an explanation about which get removed. [image] Restore disappeared pokestops Wayspot Appeals What is the difference that makes these infrastructure rather than trail markers? People are still confused. I still don’t und…

The response from Niantic was specifically about the cycle signs which are a number in a circle with an arrow above (or below or wherever it is), which is exactly what this sign is: “We have discussed these at length in the past and have deemed them to be street infrastructure and not designated tr…

The views of the wayfarers in the Belenux have been consistently shown on this forum to be different to Niantic’s stance. Niantic will be well aware of this yet their position has not changed.

I’ve just been looking at the website for these kinds of markers. From what I’m gathering, rather than representing individual routes, they function a bit like a dot-to-dot system where you can effectively make your own routes by connecting them up? If so, that is certainly an interesting way of do…

That fits what I have read here before. For clarity, is this a marker saying “route 43 follows this way” or a marker saying “node 43 is ahead” ? [image]

That is correct. They are different, though the purpose is the same, to help people find a nice route through the country by bike.
