I don't get why some users report things like 'no stop sign' or 'missing sign', it's like...that's the road, not Waze. What are you reporting exactly? *scratches head*

Maybe they want us to report it to the department of transportation.

I would reply and say "The issue with the sign should be reported to your local DoT. You can contact them at blah blah blah"
"Dial 311"

From the screen shot the route is trying to get him to go south on the road was going north on, so an elaborate U-Turn not an elaborate right turn.

davielde wrote:Good catch on that one little arrow going south! I saw the one "turn right" icon but didn't pick up that it could be two overlaid. Premature closure as it could have been trying to route him back to the neighboring interstate, into the neighboring mall entrance from Novi Rd instead of 12 Mile's entrance, etc... Unfortunately no response from the driver, so it went Not Identified.


So, this is not a "Michigan Right", but a "Michigan T-turn"...
Likely trying to get them back to the freeway as there's two better options for getting into the shopping center to the west.

I had an eta on a 205 mile one way trip through the mountains be accurate to 2 minutes this past Saturday. Don't know how Waze pulled that one off since there isn't much cell coverage where I went.

Further information: Waze is having the user avoid a traffic light at 6th & Colorado, 7th & Colorado, a protected left @ 8th & Colorado and a flow control light on 8th, and trading it for one light at 7th & Colorado, no stop signs on 7th, and a left onto 8th on the far side of the flow control light on 8th.

Careful with which infrastructure you're on when near the Mexican border. Seems the map has issues there if your client is on RotW.

I can see how that might be an issue then...
Guessing someone visiting from Brazil that uses Waze a lot and got the "going to Work/Home" auto-route.
