Level5 Update: New Jersey - East Orange (to I-280 W / I-280

Post by yepperoni
My Level: 3
Reason for request: This wayfinder doesn't do anything. While the exits are prompted correctly, the "to I-280 W" does nothing and is effectively useless. There's also been a couple URs mentioning this.

However, the current wayfinder guidence indicates you don't really need a wayfinder here. Still, I can kind of see how people may be getting confused. There's the BGS for I-280 W with the yellow "Left 3 Lanes", and the two exits to the right.

I'd like some opinions before I either rename the useless segment, or add a proper wayfinder in.

Right - the wayfinder is incorrectly done and a best continuation is being created along I-280 with a segment type match. The current wiki is correct, but these are guidelines to follow not a hard-fast rule. With the exit to a major Freeway (GSP), I'm inclined to add it as I'd prefer a chattier app then one that could potentially misdirect.
