L5 fix required, A46 nr Thrussington, Leicestershire

There’s a UR here which an L5 might like to pick up.

It’s saying that U-turns are allowed at a junction. U-turn’s may be legal, but is it a good idea for Waze to recommend them here?

No AM for the area. I’ve passed through so can see the UR, but I’m staying out of this one.

Hi,

See the speed cameras either side of the junction?

Thats because it’s not the best place in the world to perform a U-turn!

After a discussion with the other UK Country Admins regarding this we are all in agreement that Waze should never direct someone to do a U-turn on a busy dual carriageway.

What it should do (and does currently) is always recommend the safe route which is to go to the next proper junction with an over/underpass and turn, which is what it does. This is a fast straight road, if he/she want’s to do a U-turn than that’s their considered risk.

Unless someone can give an exceptionally good reason why U-turns should be allowed here I will reply to and close this UR later today.

Thanks ditchi,

I’ve been busy all week and never got a chance to reply to the UR till now but I see you beat me too it!
