The full hex ferries at Everdingen,Pannerden, Emmerich and Druten in the Market Garden map all have a trail leading into the river, other hexes might have the same issue. With no way to exit the hex from there. This also blocks units crossing the river by utilizing engineer units with the Has Boats flag. I haven't been able to test with the effect on pontoons is.

The trails are an artifice from the map editor. To create a ferry for a full water hex, you run a trail across two sides. That places the ferry symbol there but also has the end of the trail showing either side.

We aren't concerned about and its not normally obvious if there is a road running to the ferry point. It just shows when there is no transportation infrastructure to the ferry hex.
