Thanks to the beta messaging I got this one solved:

Problem: You can't turn right from X to Y.
Me: Are you sure about that? Is it recent construction?
User: Oh, you can turn right from X to Y. However two blocks later it wants you to cross Z, and you can't do that as its right turn only where Y meets Z, you can't go straight.
Me: Pulls hair out

Why do half of the on ramps have squiggly lines. I don't know what lady could be in to get onto the freeway. I turn the sound off so I can have phone calls
Guess its too hard to look at the directions on the top of the screen.

I ran into similar. Submitted at an intersection with 3 gas stations, one on either corner. "Gas station closed" Me: Which of the gas stations has gone out of business? "The one at the intersection".

As soon as you do that you'll start getting UR's from people complaining about the missing alleys and a bunch of level 1 users drawing in bright red roads as alleys.

Need GPS MAP
Sounds like someone who would do better with the Rand McNally Walmart Atlas.
You'd think so, but no. I write them every year, and I check each new addition and my living room still isn't fully mapped.

I ran into that the other day. Short-term construction completely blocking the road but there was no way to close the road. All I could do was report Construction.
The report closures function doesn't work for the road you are already on?

Probably a Canadian.
This is what happens if they go more than 3 days without Tim Horton's.

looking for a McDonald's gave us directions to jack in the box
If only Waze gave you a list of possible POI's and you could choose which one to go to.
