Osborne Park, Western Australia Unlock request

Post by Gallifred
Hi Editors,

I would like to be able to edit the following segments.
Your help will be greatly appreciated.

Permalink: https://waze.com/en-AU/editor?env=row&l ... =251742832
Reason: I wish to mark a turn as very difficult bordering on unsafe (Turning right onto Hutton St from Albert St). The route finder often gives this direction when an alternative would be much better.
Unlock to level: 1

Thank you in advance.

Hello,

The marking of difficult turns makes quite an effect on the routing, and is reserved for quite limited circumstances. I agree, this turn is tricky at peak periods when the traffic on Hutton starts to back up, however this is not always a difficult turn, and a lot of the time is quite easy to navigate.

Waze learns the travel time across this intersection hour by hour, and will route Wazers around to another intersection if the average transit time shows it as "better". Often however, it may feel faster, but the data does not show it so.

Thanks for your post
