Waze matches Federal road type...but shouldn't?

Post by turbomkt
This street is marked as a minor highway and that matches the maps from CalTrans. It does not, however, match traffic flow, etc. The only cars that take this short one way street are going to locations that are on that street. Everybody else goes to this node to turn right.

I have checked, and Waze will take this small street as the preferred route rather than going to the intersection of Woodside and Maine.

Is the correct answer to leave this as is to match CalTrans maps? Let Waze report an issue automatically as people do not follow the recommended route?

If changes are made, I would assume the first segment would be dropped to a street while this segment would be made a minor highway.

I'm new to all this so I'm looking for clarification before asking for an unlock.

Thanks!

I talked with tonestertm, the CA SM and he concurs, this segment should be upgraded to mH (Minor Highway). I've unlocked it. Go ahead and upgrade it and then let me know. Thanks!

The consensus was to leave it mH for now. If it causes problems we can revisit downgrading it later.

It's a good catch and a great question.

I'm puzzled myself. We do make exceptions to the CalTrans maps on rare occasions. To me this looks like it should be one of them. But other active editors are more familiar with this part of California than I am.

(p.s. This may be more proper on the California forum, perhaps if somebody with the capability wants to move it...? But I don't see it as a big deal to be in the US forum.)
