Hi all, Come across this UR: https://world.waze.com/editor/?zoom=6&lon=-1.60675&lat=54.97517&layers=BFTFTTTTTTFTTTTFTTTTFT
I believe it is about the number of exit. Recently I set ‘no cars lane’ is one of the exit of the roundabout as taxi or van can use this ‘no cars lane’. I’d say ‘bus only’ lane should not be counted but for ‘no cars lane’ should be counted. Any opinion? Should we put it in the wiki too if you agree it should be counted or not?
To be honest I don’t think you can win with this one. Some people will expect it to be counted and others not. I have a similar roundabout where I get a repeat UR which I think is down to the fact I count a small (all-access) exit and the user is not.
I would prefer it be counted. It probably doesnt matter much if you know the area, but if you have never used the roundabout before your attention is probably going to be on counting / matching big exits in general, not taking into account whether an exit is suitable for your type of transport or not.
It’s a pity Waze does not have a taxi mode.
^^^What he said 
Hi,
Given you are using guidance AND the roundabout manages to work correctly, then it is a given that when you are told to take the 3rd exit you will count the exits irrespective of whether they are “Bus only”, “Taxi only” or whatever. This because likely you’ll not know the area.
If the editor has decided that, because cars or “regular users” can’t use the exit, it should not be shown then those “regular users” will report the missing exit. Rightly so. It is still an exit whether cars can use it or not.
So all exits to a roundabout should be on the map.
Des. . . 
Exit doesn’t mean exit onto the roundabout, its an exit OFF. I don’t count ones I can’t turn into but its driver preference. In either case they can just glance at the screen anyway.

Leo is there any need to have 2 roads connected here? The one marked no car’s does not seem to serve any purpose and there is no physical barrier here
No, we don’t need 2 roads there. That was created by UK base map input or by others long time ago and I just too lazy to delete it :-p
I have connected the exit road to roundabout so it can be counted as exit but the other end of this road has been disconnected to prevent waze to navigate through there. The problem is taxi and van can use this exit but will not be instructed to use this road. As you said, it is pity Waze does not have a taxi mode (or van mode).
Anyway, I will delete this UR and see it will come up again.
Hi thelight1, it seems you love to put direction on the road :lol: . Is it necessary? I can see the reason it will help better traffic report with direction but should you put the (E) and (W) for the whole road rather than just one segment of Durant road? Or just no direction at all as this is only a short road?
LInk here for reference: https://world.waze.com/editor/?zoom=6&lon=-1.60858&lat=54.97567&layers=BFTFTTTTTTFTTTTFTTTTFT&segments=142014959,137375231
I agree Leo, I don’t think it’s necessary to have any direction at all on short sections of road such as this (sorry!)
Hi Leo
I was going to do the whole road, but my road layer stopped working (AGAIN). The reason I added it their is that it is effectively a 2 carriageway road with a central barrier, so clearly has 2 directions.
Well, yes it does, but it’s only a short road, and I’m not sure that adding E and W is really necessary? I agree it’s useful on major highways etc. where you may come to a roundabout or junction where the road direction is marked, but otherwise imho it isn’t adding a lot of value to instructions, and makes the screen look even more cluttered (plus it’s more stuff for tts to say out loud!). Just my opinion though…
Wasnt really for instructions where I agree, it makes no difference. It was solely for traffic alerts which I will often use to change my own route.
If the use of N/S/E/W is based on the length of the road, at what length do they start and stop being used?
Yes, WME is behaving badly 
It’s quite subjective though. IMHO, Durant road doesn’t always have heavy traffic and it’s a bit too short to put ‘direction’. I’d say John Dobson St may need N/S as it always has heavy traffic during peak time. However, I intend not to put direction as Val’s option. Well again it is quite subjective but we have to do this in the same way. It’s good wiki can have a guideline.
In a similar vein to the original post I keep getting URs saying I’ve miscounted exits on this roundabout but I think everyone is missing the small but legitimate exit highlighted. Thoughts anyone?
Sometimes it is good to use other navigator to compare the no. of exit so I will turn on Nokia map and Google navigator at the same time.
I think you’re right, but you’ll never stop getting the URs cos it’s so tiny and easily overlooked!
Hi Simon, I saw you have changed some road type around there. Could you change these too to keep consistency?
Just realised that we got some curly streets too :lol:
About one a day at the moment - probably the same person doing it too!
More than likely. I don’t know why people assume that if they report something 50 times it’ll be solved quicker.
