Ok, I'm curious, because I'm not certain we absolutely figured it out-- it just stopped after we renamed the segments. I think it was BDP, but I don't know if we ever were 100% sure.

Sometimes you avoid the jam, sometimes you are the jam, and sometimes it's faster to go through the jam. - AndyPoms

In the original situation, both directions of the divided highway had the same name: "Lowell Connector". The names were changed to "Lowell Connector N" and "Lowell Connector S", as appropriate. So, as CBenson pointed out, Waze may have been routing over the entire NB and SB Lowell Connector to eliminate the penalty. By renaming, Waze can now have the driver turn around as soon as the 5 km requirement is satisfied.

I am equally mystified as to why the original problem stopped.
