Level 5 editor easy fix Spanish Fort, Alabama

Post by wyleone
I have had several error reports for the same issue. At this intersection in Spanish Fort, AL, I have been getting many people thinking they are getting a "Turn Left" when they should be going straight through the intersection from the ramp. see below:

https://www.waze.com/editor/?env=usa&lo ... nts=630092

They actually are getting a "Keep Left" at that location due to a right turn lane right before the intersection. The right turn node to split to the right or not is close to the intersection and thus the misconception. If the node is pulled back where the actual ramp starts I think this will fix the problem. Here is the node:

https://www.waze.com/editor/?env=usa&lo ... des=504668

Both ramp sections are Level 4 and 5 so I am not allowed do it.

The ramps and lanes are drawn well, just the guidance is causing a perception problem.
So in the interest of effective route guidance...
Thank you for any help

I moved the split to turn right on the ramp a little further back, and also adjusted the angle at which it departs the main ramp. There's a section in the Wiki about controlling turn instructions which notes that anything over a 45° departure from the main road will result in a turn left/turn right instead of keep left/right instruction. I'm hoping that will cause straight-ahead traffic to be instructed differently, because it is confusing, Keep Left versus Turn Left. It should say Turn Left for left turns, Turn Right for right turns and nothing if you're to go straight ahead. At least that's how other similar intersections are showing in the Live Map.

I hope it helps.

In the unlock forums, someone from the SE will almost always help you out (it is rare we miss one). if you need help on a road that is locked higher than your level, then it goes in the unlock forum.

I guess it gets confusing where to post what.
I agreed with the level being higher in these locations, so it wasn't an unlock? I chose to put it here because the higher level editors that are in charge of the area knew what was going on versus an editor from California helping me out.
That is the way I rationalized it. I guess I have a ton of reading to do, when I have the chance to do it.
Thank you for the help. The info on the ramp angles is great, I was not aware of that.
