That's exactly what you'd have to do is go through their route and check things out...look for turn restrictions, etc.

In most cases where people post things like that, their way is only what they THINK is the fastest way. However, in some cases, the Waze suggested route is hours longer, and it's caused by continuity issues on the correct route.

I was goofing around with Waze a few nights ago and I put in my sister's house in Dallas (just to see what it said) and it had me getting off of I-35 in Waco, taking backroads to I-20, then go back to I-35. Did I tag it as a "general error"? No, I left it as is for a couple of reasons. I know there's construction going on up there, there are 50 different ways to get to Dallas from San Antonio (and vice versa), and I may want to take my time to get to her house.

I like how Waze learns routes, I just wish some Wazers learned Waze.

On a side note: there are only about 5 from San Antonio to New Orleans, though

I usually just drive with Waze open. I'll sometimes use it for routing, but most of the time I ignore the directions and make my own, but I do check to see if there is anything going on the routes/highways before making my decision to either ignore the directions given.

I guess I'm a little frustrated that this user (for the 2nd time) has posted this thinking there is something that can be done about his preferred route to a town 6 hours away. I have a feeling that if it's clicked "solved" or "not identified" he/she will keep posting it.
