No, that's not the Exit for Yale, it's the SIGN for the Exit for Yale - you still have a while to go before you get to the actual exit. And Yalies are supposed to be smart. :roll:

Send them a link to the Junction Style Guide and explain that the Waze map is designed to generate proper routing instructions and not be a perfect representation of the real world...

Although now with U-Turn control, we may be able to do away with bow-ties all together....

I have half the mind to let this one sit for a month or two and then reply "HEY!! Someone else survived! There is a small survivor group in <some random location>, we have food".

Someone can be trying to game the system and also be bad at it - they aren't mutually exclusive. ;)

My first guess was that the house numbers are wrong - I've seen similar report-clusters (but not to that extreme) in the middle of a block where that was the case. But the numbers seem to be right on this segment.

The URs are all generated in the last week, and most of them are a General Error with no additional information, but I also see Missing Bridge reports, Turn Not Allowed reports, Incorrect Junction reports, and one General Error with the comment, "nmmmmmmmmmm". (Very helpful information!)

Given all of that, I think maybe someone is just playing around with the app. Perhaps they used an alternate/fake email address when signing up and aren't seeing the string of Not Enough Information emails.

Or they're going for points. Poorly.

Someone has reported a series of these along the Interstate:
tower on left
utility pole on right
They seem to have submitted a report every time they passed a power line or radio tower.
