Hello,

Level 1 here and I have an issue that I can’t figure out. A user reported that a left turn cannot be made from Hull Street Rd (360) Eastbound to Woodlake Village Parkway northbound.

Here’s an example of the failed navigation resulting in an unnecessary u-turn:

I would appreciate it if you would let me know what is wrong so I can gain some knowledge on this!

Thanks!

It seems that waze is determining that on average it is faster to avoid the wait for the left turn signal by making the U-turn. The issue has been discussed here. The “small detour prevention mechanism” is intended to reduce the occurrences of these routes.
