Indicate destination side of street

Post by DreamLibrarian
It would be extremely helpful if Waze directions would indicate which side of the street the destination is on. This is a common scenario: driving down a busy street in a business district, being informed that I've arrived at my destination, but have no idea whether to look to the left or right for it. More times than I care to count I've had to double back and try two or three times to find my actual destination. Even if I do spot it, I'm usually in the wrong lane to make the turn.

This thread is almost 2.5 years old. Apparently the roadmap to get the destination side into TTS is still... in process. Thank you for pointing out the cue, but since it’s been almost 2.5 years, they’ve probably moved on from waiting for the answer. :)

Thank you.

I did search, but clearly didn't think of the correct keywords to bring up the previous topic. Browsing is unfeasible given the hundreds of topics in the forum.

Amen. Some time ago I started scanning left and right to figure out the odd / even side so I can 'get over' for the turn, then find myself checking destination address to see if I need to be on the odd or even side...
"Destination will be on the left/right" or "House numbers at your destination are unavailable" would be very useful cues to have, perhaps along with a Big Fat Flashing Arrow next to checkered flag (or a Question mark if HN are not programmed), pointing either left or right (for those times when the spouse told you s/he didn't want to listen to 'Samantha'.)

Don't know if this was answered already. But I'll start anyway. Just before you get to your destination, let's say 1000 ft. On the top left of your Waze app, a checkered flag with a red dot either on the right of the flag or left will pop up, that will tell you the side of your destination

Please use the forum search tools before creating duplicate topics.

This was already asked and answered before.

It might be coming soon from what I heard ;) Can't give details or ETA though.

In any case @RoderickHDino, thanks for wanting to help but yes, please avoid necro-posting in threads which are older than 6 months (general forum rule)

Locking this one.
