Can this road be divided?

Permalink (just one segment of it)

This road technically does not meet the requirements for dividing as outlined here and here.

However the guidelines do say that a road may be divided if,

The street has residential housing along both sides and Waze will direct drivers to the wrong side of the road in some circumstances leaving them on the wrong side of a four lane divided road. For this reason I think it should be divided.

There have been no house numbers added to it.

No, I wouldn’t divide this road on the basis that:

  • As you pointed out, it doesn’t meet any of the standard criteria for dividing.
  • The obstruction to getting to the right direction is not lengthy (<400m) and not blocked by median or traffic control signage. All of the intersections are available for U-turns or other straightforward turns.
  • The road appears to be amenable to being crossed as a pedestrian, safely.

That road seems to be less of a candidate for being divided then some of the roads I’ve undivided in the past.

Fair enough. I think what we really need is a ‘Road has median’ property for streets so the routing system knows when to direct a driver to the other side of the road. :slight_smile:

I just found this suggestion in the Waze Suggestion box. It was added in 2015 and has 19 votes.

Not holding my breath… :expressionless:
