Is there a banned roads policy or check re. routing from the organisers for the riders?
An afternoon last week I ended up on a downhill stretch of Bundesstraße which I'd be surprised if it wasn't on everybody's route in the opposite direction. I'd never ride again. 10.000 cars and 1.000 lorries a day according to here:

There are some banned roads, but not that many. And no, of course Anna hasn't offered to go through everyone's routes to check for danger: I doubt she has either perfect knowledge of every road in Europe or the time to give them all sufficient attention!
I have had a look at that road and, if I was going that way, I would avoid that section based on my normal route planning practice. I expect most riders would follow a similar process and screen it out. In that sense, there is no need to ban it as the info which is available tells a clear enough story, and there are plenty of alternatives.
But I will inevitably end up on some roads which turn out not to be ideal, and I'll have to work out whether to reroute or carry on - like you did yesterday.

Yeah, good point.
I think a few others on here had a place from memory?
