Still finding stuff like this on the maps, and they aren't event that old. Clearly some people are editing maps without reading the forums. :evil:

It seems that the issue with cluttered junctions are spreading everywhere over the maps. Roads that was fine are now a jumble of lines everywhere making a mess of directions. For example, driving on Yas Island now along Leisure Drive you constantly receive "keep left" and "keep right" prompts. Quite often I see instructions to instead of turning right Waze has some strange loops as per the screenshot.

. There was a tweet by @WazeMapping that slipways should not be drawn, and the same is in the Wiki stating that it should only be drawn if the lane is separated before a voice prompt would occur, but at 1 kilometer there is a prompt so it should not be required in 99.999% of cases.

Another thing, as per this tweet https://twitter.com/WazeMapping/status/ ... 0464954368 U-Turns are now supported:
U-turns are now available in the app, so make sure your 2-way streets have u-turns enabled where they are legal and safe.

Having taken a break from Waze for some time and now trying it again, it seems that the issue with junctions have been spreading and now comes with level 4&5 locks. There are numerous routes I use regularly where Waze presents me with a 10Km route around an intersection that IF Waze would go straight through would give me a 2Km route at half the time. Here is the Wiki bit regarding junctions: https://wiki.waze.com/wiki/Bowtie#Box_a ... ersections

This issue of intersections not functioning causes the Waze app not to provide alternative routes which negates the whole raison d'être of Waze.

Slip roads are still being drawn which is either A) causing Waze to give "keep left" and "keep right" instructions where it is not needed, or B) simply no guidance whatsoever. Page from Wiki: https://wiki.waze.com/wiki/At-grade_con ... _mapped.3F
