MPs and U-Turns: Suggested route frequently ignored
https://www.waze.com/editor/?lon=-74.92 ... TTTTTTTTFT
There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with the map at the MP in the link above, and from the looks of things, it looks like Waze simply wanted the driver to turn into the "dead end" street to turn around, since u-turns are enabled (or at least were enabled) by default at dead ends, likely because of a missed turn, either accidental or deliberate. Perhaps if I knew more about where the suggested route was going?
Most drivers - at least ones I know - do not like to turn around, or otherwise backtrack after an accidental missed turn, even if the missed route is still the mathematically the best way to go, Instead, they expect the navigator simply to just find the next route in that direction, especially here on the east coast, where there's like 100 ways to get just about everywhere. As a result, they're likely to keep ignoring the "turn-around" directions until the next possible route becomes the best mathematical route, which in turn will generate MPs on busier roads where enough people might do this.
My question is, whether there is anyway to stop these from popping up for good, other than simply marking them as solved and then seeing them pop up again when the evaluation program for these is next run? Should the U-turn in the dead-end be disabled, perhaps?
