174) Waze routed through here and there was a UR about it this morning. Should this be a Parking Lot Segment instead of a Service Road? Thoughts?

175) I drove through here last week. The highlighted segment was blank and Waze did NOT give direction to bear left to this segment. I added the name temporarily. I thought Waze was supposed to route you through no-name ramps? Is there a specific reason why not here? Did a behavior change? I'd rather remove the segment name I added and have Waze route the driver through the area using the second split.

176) Should SR-20 be named throughout "State Route 20" Why is most of it McLean Blvd? Furthermore, should the road type be a Minor Highway or a Major Highway like some of the State Routes?

By the definition in the road descriptions, I'm not sure if a Minor Highway is the right road type.

There is another State Route I saw yesterday in a similar situation, but I can't find it now .

Thoughts?



I am looking at them right now, do you have link for 174?

orbitc wrote:176: OK. Both names are correct but I would keep it uniform. Be consistent. Personally, for this road I would use McLean Blvd and add the State Route 20 as the alternate name. I think based on the below this could be classified as Primary

Freeway - ANYTHING limited access, be it Interstate, US Hwy, State Hwy, County Route, or any paved surface open to the public.

Major Hwy - US Hwy which is NOT a bypass or business route, plus those rare non-limited access portions of Interstates

Minor Hwy - State Hwys and US bypass and Business routes

Primary - County routes or any street favored by traffic

I think we are only discussing whether it should be between those 2 (Primary/Freeway are definitely not in the discussion). What makes you think, based on the Wiki's description, it should be a minor highway?

I was looking one of the old post by one of the Waze Champs. I think, looking at it again, this seems more of a Major Highway.

When look at the mirror I see Waze's logo...

First, you don't want a real junction because Waze might someday try to route a car onto the tracks. Second, if you have a junction in the road with no other roads (or tracks) intersecting it, my feeling about putting in fake junctions to show details of congestion is that they serve no purpose. If you can't get off the road, if Waze can't try to find you an alternate route, then what you want is the congestion for the whole real segment.
