Strange routing in Fribourg

Hello!

Yesterday I completed a nice ride from Bern to Fribourg, and realized that cycle.travel has a very strong aversion to a small section (c.a. 30m long), so that it will propose a detour of 4km, 100m  climbing instead. I cannot figure out *why*, and if there is anything that can be improved on openstreetmap to help cycle.travel accept that small route (which is a very nice way to enter fribour, away from main traffic, through a historical gate and with a stunning view on the city...).

Can anybody help in identifiying the issue ? I tried to mark the roads and paths as access:cycle=yes and the gate as open, maybe this will then help?

Thank you!, Cécile

Interesting location! I think it’s not so much the gate as the fact that someone has (inappropriately) marked the whole section of road with a tough MTB uphill rating. I’ve just removed that and it should hopefully make a difference next time, but until then you should be able to add a via point to force it to go that way.
