The prices changed. Okay. Then change them.
I see at least one or two of these a week. I wish there was a way to comment on them like URs, or at least see which user flagged it so we can TRY to PM them...

Without transportation access just how do you expect them to get the vote out every election? :lol:

Wonder when someone will draw one around Manhattan and label it "Super Max Prison".

sketch wrote:Because Waze changed something recently making restrictions more robust – it won't route through a restricted turn to get to a destination, instead choosing another nearby segment where it's legal to go, at least if there is such a segment nearby. I experienced this when the parking lot road for a hotel was there, but with all turns into it restricted, so Waze brought me to the nearby parking lot road behind and downhill from the hotel. As far as I can tell, this changed a couple months ago.
I'm not sure anything changed since the introduction of TBR. Remember they initially said "works like Private" which we took to mean that there were routing penalties associated with use, then there was some mentions of it working like disconnects. Later we got direct confirmation from an unfiltered source that TBRs worked like a disconnection, as if the segment or turn didn't exist. This later information agrees with the above behavior IF the "works like disconnection" for TBSR is evaluated for exiting the segment. There's an old discussion about PLR/Private penalties for why the evaluation is on exit, and code reuse/re-purposing leads to TBSR getting the same evaluation point.

Basically there's an edge case where terminal route behavior isn't correct, and acknowledge as not being correct, for TBSR cases when the destination is on the restricted segment, but works as designed if the destination is beyond the restricted segment.

sketch wrote:Let me put it this way – something definitely changed rather recently with the interaction between restrictions and destination road selection. It used to be that Waze would force itself through a restriction if it knew your destination to be on a particular segment. Now, Waze will choose another nearby segment.

Restrictions are the same, it's what destination-road matching does with restrictions that's changed (or, really, that it does something at all).
Easy to check. We know what routing used to do with hard set restricted turns, and we know how PLR/Pvt behave, and we're assuming a TBR behaves the same way.

IMO they shouldn't be mapped unless they hold 1000's of cars and come with names like Goofy, Mickey, Donald...
