Speaking of odd routes, just like the discussion at Aspley. I had the opportunity a few days ago to test this route. Right turn from Sylvan Road onto Landsborough Tce, make your way along Landsborough and then left turn onto Coro Drive and then head city direction.

Landsborough Tce is a narrow Tce, so there is no opportunity to 'floor' it. I was lucky to even get up to 40kph, never mind the speed limit of 50kph.

Taking all that into account, and about a 30 second wait to enter Coro Drive, I easily beat a black SUV that was parked at the lights waiting to turn left from when I made my right hand turn on Landsborough Tce. Time was middle of the day.

So, exceptional circumstances aside, I do believe this is a route I can confirm is faster going via Landsborough Tce than waiting at the lights at Sylvan Rd.

Whether it is faster in real world conditions than Land St is another question that would be much harder to test.

As theclem has answered, it is all based on previous speed data collated. Keep driving Land St and prove that it is faster and eventually waze will learn from new recent data.

I know this is an old thread, but turning onto Landsborough Tce is crazy. Land St is far quicker.

It's purely speed data. Route speeds plugin shows that to get to the end of Land St takes well over 2 minutes, but if I move the destination marker through the intersection onto Corro Drive, it takes less than 2 minutes to go via Landsborough Terrace.

Landsborough Terrace has no traffic light and is a simple turn left lane, I don't know the distribution of traffic on the lanes through there too well, but anyone willing to plant it will get through there faster than the lights most of the time.

There appears to be valid speed data for all 3 roads heading onto Corro Drive, so I don't see anything we can do here.

Some would say the system is working.

I've also taken this route a couple of times recently (pretty sure one of them was following a red car also running Waze) and yes, it did appear to be faster.
