Exclude cities

[Thomas Neumeyer]

Hello,

I am planning a route from Neumünster to Chemnitz. Unfortunately the route goes through Hamburg city. I excluded highways and cities. Setting was OSM maps. What can be done to avoid this kind of routing. Its clear that I can adjust the route but why is it not avoiding bigger cities in the first place.

I think this is because you have to cross the Elbe somewhere, and the most logical crossing point is the Elbe tunnel. There aren't many other crossing points along the route. Otherwise, I wouldn't know either.

There are more options to cross the Elbe except to use Elbtunnel. For example Lauenburg/Elbe.
