Street view doesn’t look that difficult, and this was reported at 3:30pm on a Saturday.

It’s pretty much the same for every right turn onto punchbowl rd then. Sometimes you’re waiting for 5 minutes

If people make the turn, Waze will learn that it takes a long time, and factor that into future routing decisions. On the other hand, if people wait for 4 minutes and then give up and turn left, Waze will think the LEFT turn is slow. So, reasonable behaviour leads to poorer decisions. Unfortunate, but there’s not much we can do about it.

Yes i agree. It’s not a difficult turn.

Thanks everyone - I agree. It’s a pity that the algorithm can’t read someone’s mind when they get annoyed, give up, and turn left! I’ve responded to the reporter.
