Default Pointless Roads


I find a lot of roads which serve no purpose, apart from acting as improptu
urinals at 3am. For example, Woodville Road NW6. Despite having a guide at
the pathetic website
http://www.londontown.com/LondonStre..._road_344.html, it contains
no properties, and it isn't useful for any likely journey, especially since
Tennyson Road gained a barrier just south of Priory Park Road.

Why was Woodville Road built? Why was it given a name, when it could have
been considered a part of Donaldson Road (compare with the almost-as-useless
southern part of Hazelmere Road one block over)? Now that land is so
valuable that school playing fields are being built upon all over the place,
why isn't something built on Woodville Road, perhaps leaving a footpath
along one side?
