Another routing issue that I experienced first hand myself today, and then saw tonight that others seem to have had the same problem. If you are traveling westbound on Hwy 36 from 35E towards Snelling, it will re-route you to the exit for N Dale St, only to have you cross N. Dale St, and get right back onto Hwy 36.
Now the really interesting part is that if you look at the intersection of the ramps from Hwy 36 and Dale, someone disabled going across Dale (last edit was 2012). Same thing on the southside of 36. This especially raises the question of why/how Waze would recommend doing this. (And far as I can tell, there is no reason to disable going straight, other than to stop Waze from encouraging this behavior.)
Not sure what can be done about this, but thought I’d toss this out there to see what others think or hear suggestions of how to clean this up.
We did this before Waze started the detour prevention mechanism. Which should work here as everything seems to be set right.
This caught my attention because just tonight I closed a bunch of ramps along I-35E and SH-36. Thoght maybe this was related. And in the URs’, I’m not seeing a route off and back on. Almost looks like they were routed off and then Waze catches up to see they stayed on the highway. I’m wondering if it has to do with the closed ramps to the east of this.
That was me who you helped - I’m psubrian in the editor. Not sure why my name in the forums isn’t updated. So do we just ignore this? You’re right, Waze wanted to route me off, I stayed on, and then it just snapped back to 36.
Well, I drove by again and paid very close attention - and it still did it. So I started from White Bear Lake and headed to the Rosedale Towers in Roseville. When turned off I-35E onto 36 westbound, the next set of directions were to get off at Snelling Avenue - great, that’s perfect. Just as I got past the Dale Ave exit, my icon on Waze “jumped” onto the exit ramp for Dale, thinking I got off there. I continued along on 36 and it eventually recaught back up with me again. So the problem seems to be more of the GPS not knowing that we’re staying on 36, as opposed to my original thought that it was rerouting off the highway.
