Thank you for your report.
I tried a test route on my app navigating to "My Elbows" and it took me nowhere near where you indicated the directions said.
I would suggest flushing this location and trying a new search.

it isn't so much a map issue as I was hoping that when you say stay to the left when you're talking about the freeway if you could say "remember the far left lane is for passing only". thank you
Except in California.
Then the far left lane is for trucks and tour buses and the right lane is for passing.

Seems that way sometimes.

What were they thinking when they submitted this one?
Honesty?
They were thinking "12 more points!"

I've never seen the inbox alert popup... is this new? I hope not.
I really wish I could shut off app in-box messages for UR responses. Though every now and then I'll catch one that I never got an email on (honestly I think I'm only getting about 80% in email), it's impossible to "work" the UR from the editor, and the various tools that we have for handling URs help prevent those from slipping through the cracks.

The time in traffic, I don't get it. It's meaningless as a visual indication. The verbal doesn't bother me, and SOMETIMES it's even correct :lol:
You can tap the "flag" and make it hide, but the "thermometer" is still there.

It's been around for some time now, I rarely see it though because I'm not often using Waze at the moment that someone is responding to one of the URs I managed. But it's definitely not brand new.
I have "push alerts" shut off... would that make a difference?
Working thousands of URs, push alerts is pretty disruptive at work.

Yep.
And still, the users act like they have paid $50 for the app and we are I.T. pros making 6 figures.

Sure, some of us are, but not getting it from Waze :D

Major highway?
I trust you notified your RC the name of the last editor to touch it.
L3/4 should know better

It had to have been "seen" because "Select All" would not have tagged it ;)

I will admit to having done that once.

On a PVT segment.

Someone had mapped (not paved, mapped and connected) their driveway.

I named the PVT segment to "Someone's driveway who didn't read the Wiki"
:D
