I'll start responding with "jug handle" for all of my URs, but that means something completely different out here...

Problem: We are at the bowling alley

Get away from the bowling alley. Problem solved...

Calls to the department of transportation have so far gone unheeded!

(Note: this was reported four times on the same day using slightly different words as they continued down W 6th.)

I at first thought that the reporter may have been trying to visually navigate until I saw the URs, and there was a Waze-provided route.


Since it's a 166m (~545 ft) segment between Hendrie and Woodward, I think it's an issue where the reporter gets to Hendrie after hearing the "in a quarter of a mile, turn right" but they have not yet heard the "in 500 feet, turn right" instruction. I went ahead and fixed it so that they will not get the quarter mile instruction until just after the potential wrong turn at Hendrie. As an added benefit, to address their proclivity for changing between portrait and landscape, the label for 6th St should appear in front of them for the duration of driving that segment.

I think he must have upgraded to Waze 3.8 immediately upon release. If you listen very carefully, you can just barely hear an instance where the new TTS timing occurs at or after the intersection at which you're supposed to turn.

We have some fairly elaborate corn mazes in SE Michigan. I'm not sure how popular they are elsewhere. This one obviously celebrates "The Game", which hasn't provided much to celebrate recently...

As for "brownstone" = "brownstone", it's actually Brownstown. It's also a township, not a city. It looks correct for the most part, but I just found a smudge for "Brownstownb" here. I didn't see "Brownstone" anywhere close though.

Ironic...
