Where I live there is a high-speed road (45 mph speed limit, no sidewalks) going through a park. Lyft and Bird have both designated the entire park as a prohibited zone except for the road. The city has also designated the road a "cycling route" despite it not having bike lanes.

I found this out while trying to ride a scooter through the park. Google Maps directed me to take the road, which I was not thrilled about but seemed like a better idea than carrying the scooter through the prohibited zone. But then the fuzzy geofencing on the scooter thought I was in the park anyway and kept intermittently cutting off the scooter.
