I am a new to Waze so Level 1. But - I am also an experienced cartographer.

I assume that the fix to my observed problem is to make the left turn on this segment dis-allowed.  
[https://www.waze.com/editor/?lon=-70.38344&lat=41.69758&zoom=8&layers=901&segments=22673524&env=usa](https://www.waze.com/editor/?lon=-70.38344&lat=41.69758&zoom=8&layers=901&segments=22673524&env=usa)

The problem is as follows:  
I’m on a Waze route which takes me on US RT-6 Westbound and then to RT-146 (Meetinghouse Way) Southbound.  
The Waze route coming off the highway says “Stay Right” and then “Turn Left” – drawing a line to take the right-hand turn ramp segment, and then a very sharp left turn onto Meetinghouse Way.

Obviously, the correct routing is simply “Turn Left” and draw the route STRAIGHT ahead using segment  
[https://www.waze.com/editor/?lon=-70.38277&lat=41.69717&zoom=7&layers=901&segments=22716599&env=usa](https://www.waze.com/editor/?lon=-70.38277&lat=41.69717&zoom=7&layers=901&segments=22716599&env=usa)  
(which already DOES correctly allow a left turn)

and then a left turn onto Meetinghouse Way.

Sorry to respond so late - your post was buried in the forum. I removed the left turn permission. Waze was using the right turn lane because the time it takes to make a left turn was longer and made that segment appear slower. By disallowing the sharp left turn from the merging lane, it forces the server to chose the correct path.
