I'm very familiar with this junction, but I can't help thinking that we could make Waze instructions here less misleading. For example, turning from the East-West A6 (at the southern roundabout) to the north towards the M61, you will get the instruction "At the roundabout, turn [left/right] onto A6". Given the "proper" A6 continues as a straight-on movement, this seems more than a little misleading.

I'm wondering about using "pathfinder" names - so:

• de-naming the southernmost segment of the link
• renaming the segments going on to and off of the actual M61 roundabout something like
  • "Watergate Ln > M61" (from A6 towards the motorway)
  • "A6" or possibly "Watergate Ln > A6" (from motorway towards A6 "proper")
• renaming the northernmost roundabout exit segment as "Watergate Ln > B6199"

All of these changes would help the instructions be both more logical and better match the road signs and paintwork on the tarmac.

Thoughts welcomed - especially on what to call the segment exiting the J4 roundabout towards the A6 "proper". I've been considering this junction's foibles for a while so I think that (apart from not being sure which option to go for on that one southbound segment) what I've outlined is the best option, but there may be a more elegant solution.
