Trying to understand an incorrect voice command

Post by daclements
Whenever I use this ramp (https://www.waze.com/editor/?env=usa&lo ... s=61624423) to get on I-275, it gives me a voice command just as I approach the interstate to "stay left at I-275", as if I have any other choice. Both the interstate and the ramp are correctly marked as one-way, so why the voice command? I don't get this at any other on-ramp...

I see you have marked the UR there solved. Did you get an answer to this issue?

The UR is useful as it shows the keep left being given at the end of the ramp. However, I don't why it would be. I can't reproduce the instruction. Have you continued to receive the instruction since you submitted the UR? In other words, is there any chance that the edit to the ramp segment on June 27 solved the problem?

Maybe we should both do the exact same thing and see if we get different results. Then maybe we can isolate when and why you get the instruction. Here is what I have done:
tap Menu>Navigate, then type Sawgrass Lake Park and tap search.
tap "Sawgrass Lake Park 25th St N, St Pete..."
tap More>Show On Map
tap and hold the segment of eastbound Gandy Blvd before the exit
tap the information "(i)"
tap More>Set as start point
tap ok or let pop up time out
tap upper right corner to return to map
tap and hold the segment of I-275 S after the ramp
tap the information "(i)"
tap Go
tap Go or let pop up time out
tap navigation bar (which says "Proceed to highlighted route" for me)
This is the navigation list I get:

If your list is different can you provide your phone type and waze version.
If your list is the same, can you create a route where the keep left instruction shows in the list?

Sorry, no. It was my own UR, so I marked it as solved because I was carrying the issue forward here.

Thanks. I'll bear that in mind going forward.

I've driven down there since then and the voice commands continue as described. It's baffled me.

First of all, thanks for such detailed instructions. Learnt a few new tricks there.

My navigation list is the same though (even with a few different routes using that ramp). Perhaps that update to the ramp at the end of June did fix it and my map just needed to refresh. I'll keep an eye on it and report it again if it continues to happen.

Thanks!
