Hey, last few days July 18-20, 2023 the intersection of route 140 (Mechanic St) and 126 (S Main Street) in Bellingham MA has been shown at closed/restricted. Which is correct as a bunch of construction is going on here. My fault is that the road I live on, is connected to part of the closed section of Route 126, (S Main Street) and because there is no other outlet for my road, Waze has no option but to fail as it cannot find another route to solve for my trip. So basically I cannot use Waze until I get clear of the restriction zone, at which I am well on my way driving and dop not want to stop to input destinations. Due to the vehicle voice activation also fails, there is no working mic in the vehicle.
Being only a 0.00001% problem of the user base, just thought I would post this and maybe ask that if a route, encounters a restricted or closed road, within say the first 1000ft, maybe 1/8 of a mile, that an option pop up to “route anyway” as no GPS system could ever keep up with the way this construction project has been going. One lane this hour, only turn right this hour, only left the next hour, have to ask the cop to move the blockade so I can actually get home, while driving around workers and equipment.
Not sure how hard that would be to add to the logic, but then I could still use my home as the start point for my trips and not have to “trick the system” to thining I am starting from another location. Thanks.
