Collecting Instances of Unusual Routing

We've been seeing more examples of the routing server choosing to take detours for left turns rather than wait at lights. Most involve instructions to either:

(Continue straight past the intersection), Make a U-turn (two lefts in a divided highway), then turn right onto the cross-street.
Turn Right at the intersection, make a U-turn (two lefts on a divided highway), (continue straight past the original intersection).

We've also seen one instance of drivers being directed around a slow intersection and thru a community, only to join back up with the same road a couple hundred yards.

NOTE: All these routes are "legal" in that they don't pass thru any restricted turns, however, they haven't been used by the routing server in the past.

If you've seen routing issues like these, especially reported in a UR, please submit information about the issue in the form below. Please take a screenshot, and store it somewhere safe, incase the UR gets closed. Also leave a [NOTE] in the UR asking editors not close the UR for at least 2 weeks so that Champs/Staff have a chance to review.

If anyone is aware of an alternate means of submitting these, please share.

Can we unsticky this post then?

I've submitted a few entries using this form, and I haven't heard anything back and want to know if it's worthwhile to continue to use this form. I have a few questions on the process:

Are these submissions being reviewed, and if so by whom? Are these being reviewed by Waze staff with responsibility for routing algorithm?

What response should the submitter expect to receive, if any?

How long should the URs be left hanging open as a [NOTE]? I've been using 30 days

Why is the sheet of responses missing PLs and images for entries after April 12th?

If anyone can shed any light on the overall process by answering the above questions and elaborating that would be most appreciated.
