Type: General error
Description: red light warning was behind me getting farther away in distance
Huh?
It's happened to me plenty of times. If you start out on a divided road heading away from the RLC, but the route eventually goes through the RLC, it will trigger if you are within (currently) 500m, and as you drive away, increase until it gets to 600m. If it doesn't hit 600m, it will then count down until you reach it. If it hits 600m, it will go away and not re-trigger again that I've seen.

But what if it's the earth doing a slightly different wobble for a few seconds?

Sign says 90 miles to Houston, app says 76 miles. What gives?
Um....Waze is more accurate than TxDOT?
OR your destination isn't actually as far away as the location that TxDOT is using for the sign?

UR for a long-standing pronunciation issue. This is local humor.
Problem: pronunciation of tualitin
City name is pronounced too-ALL-uh-tin, whereas Waze says it "too-ul-A-tin" But it's spelled "Tualatin." :lol:

Yes, not too far. And yes, you pronounced it perfectly like a non-native there. :)

(I guess they want Waze to route based on the train schedule as well...)
That will be technically possible. Someday. http://www.waze.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=10489
