But when bearing right on a ramp the type of segment you are leaving matters - when leaving a highway/freeway segment you get an "Exit right" instruction but when leaving a ramp you get a "Keep/Stay right" instruction.
Thus, the statement in the wiki under Wayfinder Segments - Ramps that says

Note: will provide Exit left/right

should say "Note: will provide Exit right/Stay left."
And the statement under Ramp to Ramp Splits - Example that says:

If you are headed to "DestinationLeft", navigation would tell you:

Exit Right to Destination Left
Exit Left to Destination Left

should say:
If you are headed to "DestinationLeft", navigation would tell you:
Exit Right to Destination Left
Stay Left to Destination Left.

That is how all the examples I can find work, so I think I confirm that is accurate. Whether you're crazy or not, I don't yet have conclusive evidence.

I start in and there are no delays so I figure Waze is showing me old information ... until suddenly I have to slam on the brakes for stopped traffic. It would be safer for me if I had fine-grained information.

CBenson wrote:I'm wondering about the statement under Geometry:

Approximately 0 degree departure angle = no navigation instruction

I don't think small angles necessarily give no navigation instruction. For instance, I see many ramps that split between a straight section and section that bears off to the right. When I go straight I get an instruction usually a "stay left" instruction. Here is an example where the ramp splits going straight and bearing off to the left. Going straight here you receive a "stay right" instruction.

It seems to me that as most zero deflection roads have the same name and type as the entering segment, most don't get an instruction. However, if they don't have better name match or type match than another segment that has a deflection less than 45 degrees than I believe that they do get an instruction (typically a "keep/stay" instruction, but could be an "exit" instruction).

NOTE: There are exceptions to these rules since geometry is not the only factor which determines instructions. See later sections for how Segment Naming and Type can impact instructions.

Maybe we should also add an image of the H-intersection so it is clear what this intersection looked like before the bow tie. For that matter would it make more sense to show the intersecting dual carriageways image.
