Waze forum

I have an issue with Waze which I reported 22 days ago. 21 days ago, on 1/4/13, Made2Map claims to have fixed my issue and it stated to wait 10 days for cache to clear. I waited 20 days and re-reported my issue yesterday. I just got an email stating DMoore0625 couldn't find my issue and to provide more information... So I am coming to the forums for help in solving my issue.

As I am driving south on the side road of Research Parkway to turn left on plumber road, I am told to keep to the right way after I pass the ramp to get onto Research. I am told when I'm suppose to keep to the left to turn left onto Plumber. The only issue I think exists on the map is that the side road to turn left isn't only a u-turn road, which I just now realized that's what it looks like on the map.

Would changing that to also connect to plumber fix my issue?

I think that u-turn lane should be simple 90-degree turn under the freeway. There's no need for the at-grade connector lane. That way, a driver being instructed to turn there will get a turn left, but drivers heading to Plumber will not get anything at that junction.

If you did that, you'd get a "turn right" 60m (nearly 200ft) sooner than the actual turn.

I'm not sure what you mean by "the side road to turn left isn't only a u-turn road" which is the way it is shown on the map. But, yes if that road isn't just for u-turns, then correcting the map to reflect any changes in the intersection may well fix your issue.

The way the OP reads to me, he's getting a "keep right" after passing the u-turn road, which would imply Waze is trying to route him the wrong way down Plummer for some reason.

Rather than make the u-turn a straight connecting road, could he just kink the connection of that and the right turn a little so they're closer to 90 degrees? If it's done at a low enough zoom level, it will barely be noticeable on the client map.

Here is some screen caps to help explain.

This is what it looks like on my phone.

So you want a left instruction to match more closely with the turn lane stripping?

Well, we don't make the roads on a per lane instruction, it is based on a per road instruction.

Sorry... I didn't receive any email notifications of a reply.

Yes, this road has 3 lanes. Two lanes go straight and 1 lane is a left turn or u-turn only.

I get confused when I'm told to stay to the right as I think I should be in the very right or middle road which is not the case. I should be in the left turn lane.

Does Waze state that you need to make a U-Turn when you do? I know it would say "Turn left on Plumber Road" which I think should be enough.
