Looks like some re-training is needed. :)
Or train-ing wheels. :D

We just de-railed the thread, that's all.

Wrong driving direction (user reported)
Problem:
tried to get to Del Ray from Boca. Waze sent me SOUTH
The more I see of these, the more I am convinced that the casual waze user enters a new UR to respond to a request for more information - not realizing that their response comes from where they are at the time of response rather than where the original UR was logged - and further not realizing that it comes up as a new UR. And since users experiencing an error want to make sure waze really, really gets it - I often see 2 and 3 URs for (apparently) the same error by (apparently) the same user, and then a 4th UR with a comment relating to the other 2/3 URs in the same area.

I just recently had a UR that contained social commentary on the neighborhoods he had just driven thru. It wasn't derogatory or anything, but I can only hope it was the passenger writing the commentary and not the driver. :D

I actually have resisted the urge to respond like that - tho it took a LOT of willpower. But actually I realized that "missing overpass" is just above "wrong driving directions". Still pretty hard to reconcile with being on a ferry tho - for any kind of report :D

Guess we have to use the term "drivers" more loosely:

I'll say that's a problem - and feature request all in one ;)

Which turn is not allowed?

You must watch the one way signs. Most map apps don't know about them.
Hmm. Should I reply that the aerial imagery doesn't show them? ;)
And of course there is no streetview either :D
