Edmonton: Yellowhead eastbound to Gretzky Drive south

Post by Grimace780
From the iPhone app I made a note of an error in the area of Fort Road just south of Yellowhead trail.

Problem: When directions require that I go south down Wayne Gretzky Drive from Yellowhead eastbound, I get told to take Fort Road.

I believe technically the path may actually be Yellowhead to Fort Road for 2 car lengths then on to Gretzky. Waze doesn't handle this as efficiently as I feel it should as verbal directions seem to miss a step and/or are misleading.

I'm not sure if Fort Road and Gretzky Drive share the same piece of pavement for a very short bit or if Gretzky Drive actually starts a bit further south than I think it does. Either way if I follow Waze voice directions I get taken off path.

I've updated the ramp names to match the signage.

The instructions should now be:
* Exit right to Exit 392: Wayne Gretzky Dr / Fort Rd
* Keep right to S Wayne Gretzky Dr / Fort Rd

Before you would have received:
* Exit right to Exit 392: Wayne Gretzky Dr / Fort Rd
* Keep right on Fort Rd

And... for the record, you technically go on Fort Rd for ~114m before it becomes Wayne Gretzky Dr.

As I suspected. Gretzky Drive and Yellowhead do not intersect.

I'm certain you've fixed the problem. Next time I'm through I'll leave the voice directions on and see what happens.
