Level5 Unlock: New York - Niagara Falls

My level: 2

The link above shows 4 lanes of traffic heading east from Prospect St to Niagara St. Lane 1 is the north most lane and is LEFT turn only onto Rainbow Blvd S (heading North). Lane 4 is RIGHT turn only onto Rainbow Blvd S (heading South). Lanes 2 and 3 have straight arrow markings onto Niagara St.

Currently in Waze, those four lanes of traffic are being fed by Rainbow Bridge (to USA) AND by Prospect St (in white - segment ID 86481130).

In reality, Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has setup a line of traffic cones from CBP inspection all the way to Rainbow Blvd S segregating lanes 1 and 2 apart from lanes 3 and 4. Lanes 1 and 2 are fed by Rainbow Bridge (to USA) while Lanes 3 and 4 are fed by Prospect St (in white - segment ID 86481130)

As a result, traffic from Rainbow Bridge (to USA) can either turn LEFT (from Lane 1) onto Rainbow Blvd S or proceed straight onto Niagara St (from Lane 2). This traffic can not make a RIGHT.

Traffic originating from Prospect Street (segment ID 86481130) can either proceed straight onto Niagara St (from Lane 3) or turn RIGHT onto Rainbow Blvd S (from Lane 4). This traffic can not make a LEFT.

Effectively, Prospect St segment 62907166 should be deleted. Rainbow Bridge (to USA) and Prospect St segment 86481130 should be extended to meet at intersection of Rainbow Blvd S and Niagara St.

Thank you for the detailed description. Rather than altering the layout to simulate lanes, we have another tool that can be used to control the allowed paths through multiple segments while preserving the existing speed data: Junction Box

Since this feature is currently only available to R5, I've gone ahead and made the change: https://www.waze.com/en-US/editor?env=u ... tions=7328

I think you're able to see the details of the junction box and the allowed paths through it. Please take a look and let me know if you agree with how I've configured it.

Thanks!
